I have seen many programs with a little icon/image next to their text on their button. I would like to know how thats done. I dont mean to hover my button and make different effects, all I want is a little icon/image next to the text in my button.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use icon file as a image for a button in visual basic? E.g. I have 3 buttons that need to have 3 icons when you click the button the icon of the button needs to be the icon of the form is this possible?
btnIcon1 = my.resources.ICO1
btnIcon2 = my.resources.ICO2
I'm using resources in VB.NET(2008) to manage my files and have 3 icon files that need to be on 3 buttons on my form (clicking the button changes the icon of the form tot the pressed button)
ICO_1.ico
ICO_2.ico
ICO_3.ico
but when I try the code below i get the error that "Value of type system.drawing.icon cannot be converted to system.drawing.image" any idea what's wrong?
btnIcon1.image = my.resources.ICO_1
btnIcon2.image = my.resources.ICO_2
I dynamically create buttons on a form and use the button text as ids so that I can pass that to an SQL query to pull saved data about that button when necessary, but I also use an image over buttons that have information saved about them. What I need to know is how do I keep the text on the button from appearing when there is an image assigned to that button? By default vb.net shows both the text and the image and no TextImageRelation values allow for the image to take precedence. I tried changing the text color to transparent, but the outline of the text is still visible through the image. Is there anyway to keep the text value as it is but just show the image on the button?
View 2 RepliesMy application icon looks ugly-like a paper and i would like to change it to something like globe icon or any suitable image.Am programming using visual studio 2005 and the program is written in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.
This is interesting. We've spent the last day attempting to patch a problem with the following (legacy) code that continues to grow its process size. This is done in Visual Studio 2003.We have a form on which we display an image (from MemoryStream) and some text and a button. Nothing fancy. Looks something like this: Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
[Code]...
Now. We've tried very numerous things. We've discovered that Disposing does nothing, and, indeed, the IDisposable interface doesn't actually touch memory. If we don't create a new CJ5Form_PTOperatorAcknowledgement form each time, the process size does NOT grow. But loading a new image into that form still causes the process size to continually grow.
Using XP and VB 2008 Express for development of Widows Forms App.I am setting a button's .text to "" and then assigning a bitmap with some text written on it to the button's .image. Everything looks great on the development compter, but is almost unreadable on test computers using Vista and Windows 7. This despite trying a number of different combinations of (standard?) font family and size (including Arial, Verdana, Microsoft Sans Serif). Why?
Details....I have a button on a form (32 pixels x 32 pixels).I set the button.text field to "". I create a bitmap a little smaller than the button, and DrawText on it (I can't simply use the button.text field because I want to place text in different areas of the button and draw special characters.I use the following code to create the bitmap:
m_bmpDrawingSurface = New Bitmap(30, 30, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
Dim objGraphics As Graphics
objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(m_bmpDrawingSurface)[code]...
I wonder if somehow fonts are being anti-aliased or otherwise cleaned up by the system on the development computer, but not on the other computers. I also wonder if I should be creating just a simple 30 pixel x 30 pixel bitmaps, or perhaps should be trying somehow to get the buttons 'device context' or something. Or, is there an alternative to DrawString that draws text more intelligently than just setting the nearest pixel either black or transparent, which is what seems to be happening (ie, no anti-aliasing or creation of shades of gray). Maybe another pen? Is there an "anti-aliasing" pen?
the task is to have an image move up and down when a number is entered in the text box and the start button pressed. now ive managed to get the image to move up but not to sure how id get it to go back down.the code ive used so far is

While picFrog.Top > 0
picFrog.Top = picFrog.Top - Val(txtSpeed.Text)

but it comes up with a error. can someone point me in the right direction of what kind of code i should be using?

View 2 RepliesI need to create an application that converts an image to an icon. This is for a school project, and I know there are libraries in VB that do image conversion, however I have to make the conversion process myself. My first task is to convert an JPEG into an icon.

What I need, are some suggestions for the conversion, since I can't use what VB has. what do I need to start with ?

View 9 RepliesI run a software development firm that develops application for Windows Vista or higher. Windows Vista has a new feature called large icons, that allows display of up to 256X256 icons.
However, if I make an image that contains this icon file, the image just assumes that it should use the 32X32 one in the ICO file, even if I scale the image up to like 500X500 (in that case, it just scales the 32X32 one up).
