I want four rows in a row to share a color in a datagridview and alternate between two colors every fourth row. What I'm doing is this:
Code:
Public function FormCells() As DataGridViewRow()
Dim NewRow(Forms.length - 1) As DataGridViewRow
[code].....
I have a simple problem to solve: dispay row in my datagridview in alternating colors, say Gray, Blue. I'm connecting to an Access database, and pulling records out of a single table as shown in the code below:

I'd like to check for all colors in an image. I've already came up with this:
Code:
Dim lst As New List(Of Color)
Dim img As Bitmap = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile("C:image.jpg")
For x = 0 To img.Width - 1
[code]....
Unfortunately this needs to sweep through all the pixels, and it's EXTREMELY slow... method to get all colors in an image without sweeping through all pixels?
Is there an easy way to display the rgb code of system colors in VB2008?
That is, I am looking for some code that will retrieve the names of the colors that are used in the system colors and display their rgb codes (and maybe show a sample), so I could display, for example, what the rgb code for "control" is.
can i convert colors values to integer?
View 6 RepliesHow can I create alternating background colors for listview rows while only using ItemTemplate? I don't want to use AlternateTemplate because I would have to edit both of them everytime I want to change something when all I'm using it for is to create the alternating background colors. So what's a way I could do it using only the ItemTemplate?

I need to display a list with 2 columns and "n" rows (first column will be an IP address and second column the status - say connected, failed, etc).The case is that I need to be able to SET and GET the value of a certain cell. For instances, if the user click the first row of the list (row 0), I want to be able to get what is the intersection 0,0 (IP of first row) and intersection 1,0 (status of first row) and so on.I am trying Listview and Datagridview with no success.

datBrakePointsX.Rows.Add(strA)
produces the error 'Rows cannot be programatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is databound.'
To my knowledge, this is an empty grid. I am adding data manually and the code below works if I remove the line. The problem is I need to add the next line.
Private Sub cmdAddX_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdAddX.Click

I have a standard DataGridView. One of the columns is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. When I select one of the ComboBox items, I want to trap the change and add additional columns based on the item selected in the ComboBox. I've tried using CellValueChanged for the DataGridView column, and a bunch of other events, but none of them is fired when the DataGridViewComboBox value is changed. What event can I trap to make this happen?
View 1 RepliesI want to draw a text with 32 bit transparency on a graphics object. When I try, I only get black color in the result.
If I try to draw a line with the same semitransparent color, it works perfectly.
I have this code:
lBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
lGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(lBitmap)
lGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality

I was thinking it may be that SolidBrush does not support transparency, but I found a predefined brush named Transparent (Brushes.Transparent) that was a SolidBrush when I looked at it in debug. I tried to use Brushes.Transparent as the brush when drawing the text, and it was successfully not showing at all. That means I get full transparency to work, but not partial transparency.
Im working on a project that needs to print a report of one client.Everything went smooth untill i came across my multiline input text data.When i display it in the PrintPagePreview the text go's outside my page.

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 4 RepliesI 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 7 Replies1. Is there either a program or a way of using vb.net where I can load an image and get a reading of every hexadecimal value for every pixel location in the image? Quick example, sometimes, I'll load an image into Microsoft paint and I try to determine which colors are being used in certain locations of the image but all I can do is guess.
2. If it is possible (especially using vb.net), is there a way to build an image by manually coding hexadecimal values for every pixel location, then, saving the image? The thought here is that I can build my graphic and then try different color schemes until I'm happy with its presentation.
I load my picturebox with a jpeg. If I put my DrawObjects() sub into picturebox paint event.When ever a picturebox.refresh or picturebox.visible = true (vb.net seems to draw my DrawObjects() first, then load the jpeg Image over my drawing - erasing drawing) Is there a way to get the picturebox to redraw the jpg image first then draw on it, in picturebox paint event?
