I have multiple bitmaps(i) in arrays, and I want to know if I can save each of these bitmaps into on animated gif file. I thought about using image.saveadd() but i'm not sure if that will work.

View 1 RepliesI managed to combine two .png images into one, and then display the result in a pictureBox image.However, the pictureBox seems to scale up my image! Makes it bigger!The pictureBox size is 96x128. The two images I have combined are 96x128. The pictureBox's SizeMode is set to "Normal"I have noticed that even though the pictureBox's image seems to be zoomed, it is cut to keep the 96x128 rect. But I don't want it to be zoomed...
View 6 RepliesI've got a picturebox on my form which is supposed to hold a compass. I've created the compass with DrawEllipse, then I used a translatetransform() to move the origin to the center of the picture box:
[Code]
The problem is that it creates two images, one is correctly displayed of a compass with red tick marks, but the same image is displayed over it and is offset at the new origin (midx,midy). I tried using the prepend and append overload for the translatetransform sub but it didn't make a difference. I thought everything after the translatetransform would be set at the new origin, but it seems I'm creating the image twice, what am i doing wrong?
My app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Public finalshape As Region

I am starting to develop a card game client for a CCG a friend of mine and I are creating.
I have 2 forms Client.vb and Hand.vb linked with a module.vb
In essence when the app starts up I see the client. I can then click the "Hand" button and the Hand Window is shown as well.
What my goal is is to have it so that when i hover over the card (picturebox) in my hand form that it displays a larger image of that card in the preview box (Another picture box) In Client.vb
I have everything working except when i actually mouse over the image in the hand form it creates an error:
Error:A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in CCG 2.0.exe
The code in the mouse hover event:
Code:
F1.PictureBox2.Image = F2.PictureBox1.Image
Im Almost certain im going about this the wrong way but I cant seem to figure out any other way...
PS.I have attached an image to demonstrate what Im trying to do...
I'm developing a VB.Net 2008 application which uses background images (in jpg format) in some forms and controls, but this makes the application to use a lot of ram. My question is how to make it to use the less possible.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a small app that takes a series of screenshots to analyze a graph. The problem I'm having is that, on my 3-monitor setup, the screenshot works fine on the primary monitor, but when I drag my app to either of the other monitors, the screenshot is black. I've also tried taking screenshots of the other monitors while the app is in the primary monitor by feeding the coordinates into the CopyFromScreen call directly, and that works, but as soon as I drag my app to one of the other monitors, all my screenshots are black. Also, and I'm pretty sure this will be important later, my primary monitor is attached to the on-board video, whereas the other two are attached to a separate video card. Both the on-board and installed cards are ATI Radeons.
Here's the screenshot code I'm using:
Code:
Namespace ScreenShot
'/ Provides functions to capture the screen, in whole or part
Public Class ScreenCapture

I have a strange problem; on my form there is a TabControl, and every tab contains a DataGridView.I set all DataGridViews Autosize column property to DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill and then I set for every column the width with FillWeight, using the same set of values for every DataGridView.Although all these DataGridViews should look the same, the one on the first TAB looks different, it looks like I used different FillWeight values.All others DataGridViews on subsequent tabs looks the same, only the one on the first tab looks different..

I don't know the best way to use multiple forms in VB, but I have created a problem and I'm not sure where it came from or how to fix it.
Background: I start the program at Sub Main. This is the main function:

Dim frmD As frmDAQ
Dim frmT As frmTrendView

it works, but I don't want to have to change the entire project.
I need to be able to add (specific) special characters to text boxes. Problem is, there are five of them spread across two forms and three tabpages. What I'd like to do is bring up a form when the user presses something like "F2" while the text boxes are focused, then on that form would be a grid of buttons. When the user pushes a button, the character is added to the box. How do I get this form to reference the box that called it without passing a global variable or calling a public function? I tried Form3.Parent.Name, but that always seems to refer to nothing. Also, once this is done how can I get it to just insert a character where the cursor on the calling box is? It probably shouldn't even be on a form either since that will take the focus when it's called (which I don't want)

View 4 RepliesI've drawn a graph where each gridline represents 15 minutes. (Every 4, 1 hour of time)The resolution is 100 dpi per inch. Each column is 12 DPI. (Not very big)Each gridline can have zero to multiple "Lines of data" which must be centered under the associated gridline using a vertical transform. (Each drawtext label represents an event that happened at that point in time)This I can figure out. The problem is that there can be 3 labels at 3:00AM, then another 2 labels at 3:15 AM with more labels as time progresses through the day. If each "label takes up 24 dpi of space, I need to center 120 dpi of data under 12 dpi of space.(Drawing the lines from the gridline to the associated data should not be an issue depending on how the "label is centered)How can I center all 5 labels at runtime. I've considered an array but each time a "label" is added, I would have to recaculate each labels position. Besides that, how can my program recgnize that the data it is coming up to (data is read one line at a time) is a group or how large the group is?
View 17 RepliesI am looking for some info to do some animation. Fairly simple stuff like dealing and flipping over playing cards, tumbling dice and such.

View 14 Repliesi recently posted a thread about the same project, but decided this was a more specific question, so i decided to open a new thread My question regards the graphics class in visual basic 2008. Ive searched the internet low and high for an answer to this, but i cannot find anything! I am attempting to 'shoot' a circle drawn on the form when the user presses the 'r' key. if a string property is set to right, the graphic should be drawn, then updated to different x coordinates based on an interval. if the property is 'up' or 'down' then the y coordinate of the graphic should be changed based on another interval. Now i cannot use one preset timer, because i would be able to shoot only one bullet at a time, which would not work!
Does anyone know how i can either create an array of graphics(bullets) and add to the list every time the user presses r, then using one preset timer, update them all, or simple create a timer every time a bullet is created, then update the bullet position with its own timer.
I want to ask, how i can make animation only with 1 images, inside there are like few different images. I seen this in few games, and i want to try it. I think there should by picturebox and it should scroll my animation right with timer, by few pixels. Image example: [URL]

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

View 13 RepliesUsing graphics paths for designing...but am getting an error when trying to add a shape to : _shapelist.add(createshape())
It says : Value of type 'system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath'
I was wondering if I could elicit some tips on how to procede with an interface design approach.That is. What is a good way to go about establishing a "work area" where one can have multiple "floating forms" in this area.Can you have a form which occupies the entire windows desk top and the other forms "float" in this space? the "floating" forms would need to interact with each other where pressing buttons etc on them would affect other forms on the "workspace") Or what would be a good way to start accomplishing that? Or is there a better way to get the same effect?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
Is this where i would post a picture of my interface and get feedback on changes for easier use? If not is there someplace on this forum or any other forum to do this?
View 1 RepliesSo I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.
