I'm drawing polygons,lines,etc. and I have to have the points of each precise - up to 12 decimals. Since a Point only takes integer values, I'm not sure how to handle scaling. I have a working user control, but rounding the decimals so I can put them into points is causing incorrect calculations (area, ect.).
View 4 RepliesI have several picture boxes on a form (frmMain).My question is, how do I paint a point on a particular picture box at the location specified by the coordinates of the current mouse position? The snippet below shows defining some canvases and pens. But I'm not sure how to capture the mouse position when the mouse is over a particular picture box and how to paint the actual point at that location.[code]
View 3 Repliesi have 2 polygons: 1 - A rectangle with a certain size defined with 4, 6 points or more (what ever becomes easier). 2 - A non-rectangular polygon (a quadrangular) what i need is that when given a certain point with inside the rectangle, i can translate that same point in the other polygon in the right position.
View 3 RepliesI'm just getting started, and it's as simple as that: I need guidance to draw a rectangle or place a dot or a point on Form1, in VB 2008 Express. I knew how in VB6 -- let's build on that.
View 3 RepliesI want to rotate a graphic at a point and I used the centerX and centerY to define the center of rotation.
Here is what I wrote:
Dim rotate_mirror as new RotateTransform(CSng(txtbx_rotate_by.text))
rotate_mirror.centerX = 5
rotate_mirror.centery = 55
blk_mirror.RenderTransform = rotate_mirror
blk_mirror is the graphic I want to rotate. Unfortunately, It does not work.
If I try to draw a circle by using e.g.
Code:
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 50.133, 100.321, 0.1, 0.1)
I will get an error message. I tried something like
Code:
Public ObjectPoint As PointF
Dim cpoint As New PointF()
cpoint.ObjectPoint = New PointF(startX, startY)
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Blue, cpoint.ObjectPoint, 0.4, 0.4)
but it didn't work for the location and the circle size. How to draw a circle(and rectangle) by using floating point numbers?
Is there such a thing as a type similar to a point, but contains a pair of decimals, or a pair of doubles, rather than integers? I searched the forums and google with no luck. I can't believe this has never come up before, I must have been using the wrong search terms.
View 4 RepliesI am developing a software that would scan the image in a picturebox and obtain the rgb values of each pixel in the image and convert each rgb values to HSL values. I am using vb 2008 express edition. I am still a student. All I have done is to obtain the image in a file and paste it in the picturebox. Below is my code. I dont really know how to start with the process of obtaining the rgb values of each pixel and converting them to HSL values and averaging the HSL value.[code..]
View 1 RepliesI am working on a Windows application written in VB with Visual Studio 2005. I have a number of fields where the user needs to enter currency amounts. I am using a MaskedTextBox with the following currency mask. msktxtAssessedVal.Mask = "$ #######.99"
The problem that I am having is that when the users type in the value, the cursor always starts at the leftmost position and appears to force as many digits as the mask. The typical data values can vary anywhere between 9,999,999.99 and 20,000.00. If the users do NOT have a value that has 7 digits left of the decimal point, they need to move the cursor to the correct position before they start typing in the value. These users are used to quickly typing in their data, then tabbing to the next field so the current behavior is not acceptable. We previously used a ComponentOne MaskedTextbox, however, their controls now are no longer free and the boss will not pay!!!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the maskedtextbox or any text control to detect where the user types the decimal and format the data accordningly?
can i convert colors values to integer?

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
Code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms

View 2 RepliesI am trying to move some data from an Excell sheet to an AS/400 file.
I have my app working, in that, the data is getting to the correct table, but the problem I'm having is that one of the columns in the spreadsheet contains numbers ie; 1234.55
I need to get that to the AS/400 as 123455 in a text field.
Currently I am moving the data from one dataset to another as follows.
Dest_DS.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(0) = Data_DS.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(0)
I think what I need to do is seperate the whole number from the decimal and then concatenate the values. ?Not sure how to.
Also, some of the values in the spreadsheet may end in a zero such as 1234.50 but only show the 1234.5 so even fnding the decimal and then taking the next two characters won't always be correct.
I was wondering how i can get as far as the second point in a Double. I have a double that will contain a number such as 12.98 but when i try to show it in a textbox it shows as 12.98000000000000000 I know this is because its double but im unsure about to to retrive only as far as the .98 and get rid of all the 00000000000000
