Interface And Graphics - Photo Frame In AVI File
May 27, 2010How can I pull a single frame from a .Avi file and save it as a .jpg/.bmp etc? I want to give VB.net a frame number, and have it save an image file of that frame - anyone?

View 1 RepliesI'm new to VB, now working with VB 2008 Express Edition. Was once very proficient with "procedural" languages of the 70's (eg. Fortran, COBOL, etc), but totally new to OOP and the "Visual" languages. Despite being a quick study, eloping a user interface to a USB-connected infrared remote control device. The UI's graphical element (a "virtual remote") will be a PHOTO of the IR remote control device supplied by my target-equipment's mfr, OVERLAYED with functional software control buttons in their respective positions. "Pressing" a button on the virtual remote will cause the USB device to emit the desired IR code sequence.

View 5 RepliesI like the default icon the program uses on the form title bar. The icon with the little red yellow and blue colored squares. I would also like to use it as the application build icon so it use it as the icon for the .exe file and shortcuts to the .exe file.I searched a long time and couldn't find the answer. Some said to take a screen-shot of the icon displayed on the screen and crop the image and make an icon that way, but when I tried to use alt-tab with the program running, and press print-screen, the alt button made it take a screen-shot of the currently selected window and not the entire screen, so I couldn't figure out how to get a screen-shot of it at it's full size.

View 3 RepliesI was writing a small test to verify loading and editing a bmp file with a process and MS Paint. If I load the file image into a picturebox before I run the process MS Paint reports a Sharing violation on the file during save. If I Leave the Picturebox empty MS paint allows the file to be saved.
Below is my snippet. I assumed setting the picturebox image to something else would fix the problem. I does not. Looks like something is still holding its finger on the file.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Remark the line below out and there is no violation.
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:Tom.bmp")
End Sub

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.
Ok I have this: This makes a sub called 'graphicspaint' then writes "demo version" to a picturebox1

View 10 RepliesI'm building a basic text based adventure game (main purpose is to just keep me fresh between programming classes during break, since I have my final VB course next semester and am trying to explore some different concepts and ideas for coding in VB) in Visual Studio 2008. During the character creation process, the user is allowed to choose a portrait to represent their character in game. I've loaded up my resource file with the portraits in question, but there is one thing I'm having some trouble with when it comes to selecting the portraits from that file. Keep in mind, I know how to do this exact thing by loading the pictures up into their own asset folder and grabbing them from there to display on the form. The resource file seems like a more intelligent way of doing it, but I've not used it much in past applications.
So, when the user clicks on the "next" arrow to cycle through the possible portrait choices, I want to change the current image in the picture box from, let's say, image1, to image2. Straight forward and all.I could load all of these images up into an image list, but again, this is all for exploratory purposes, so the following if statement is being used for that purpose only. I plan to code a more effective way of cycling through the images at a later date.
If picCharPort.Image = My.Resources.Image1 Then
picCharPort.Image = My.Resources.Image2
End If
For some reason, I am fully capable of assigning My.Resources.Image1 to picCharPort.Image normally, but when I attempt to switch the image to another image like in this if statement, it creates and error.It essentially does not like the "=" operator being used, so I switched it to Is, and it still doesn't work (however, without displaying an error).(considering, the portrait options change depending on character class/gender, etc)?

View 1 RepliesI'm considering working on a video encoding framework. Essentially a program to re-encode a video file from one format to another, using codecs which are widely distributed. (Codecs commonly found on the average PC.)Emphasis would be on reformatting - rescaling, cropping - in a visual environment. Is vb.NET a good environment for such an application or would it be wiser to look elsewhere?
