View 6 RepliesIm quite new to VB actually and i've run my web application using VB .net. My problem here is to change the standard border color so that it would not look dull and just to make it look custom from other application. How can i change it? ive search all the properties but havent solved it.

I am currently creating an app and i want to be able to get the colour of a pixel, but in a picturebox.Example: I click anywhere in the picturebox and it will give me the color of the pixel I clicked.
View 3 RepliesI have a form with buttons, and the user can change the colors of the buttons with the color dialog box for fun:
Button_Play.BackColor = ColorDialog.Color
There is a reset button to put the colors to how they were without any special coloring, but I can't get them to go back to how they originally looked.They go to gray in the middle, instead of the nice shaded blue/gray style. I have tried a few different things:
Button_Play.BackColor = Button.DefaultBackColor
Button_Play.BackColor = SystemColors.Control
Button_Play.BackColor = Color.Empty
I am using VB '08 Express on Win XP with the Desktop, Display Properties, Appearance, Windows and Buttons: set to Media Center Style and Color Scheme: set to Energy Blue. how to (with this theme) get the button to look like default after changing the color?
I have a red, green, and blue color that I am making with this method:

Any recommendations? I like the fact that 255,255,255 is white. Is there a way to create color by combining three colors that were made from argb? I may just have to make my 20 different colors set and then refer to them.
Im have a picture on my program and a groupbox around 2 radiobuttoms, and 4 labels on the main page.
But all the places i have placed thoes thing the piscture is hidden behind. and i know i can chance

[code]For some reason I cannot change the color properties for the MonthCalendar control.[code]No matter what I change it to, it stays to its default color of white and black. Actually none of the color options work on any of the sections of the control.I am trying to hide the white border around the control and but a blue bar under the name of the month (top section).I have tried deleting the control and creating it anew on the form but no luck.It was working a couple of weeks ago.

View 4 RepliesI created an application in VS2005 that draws text with a custom font and color. The images look great from my XP machine. But from another machine running Windows Vista, the graphics are messed up. It seems that the transparencies inherit the default black background so there's this gray'ish/black haze around the text...
View 1 Replieshow can i get the general color based on what is returned from Bitmap.GetPixel()? Like i want all shades of blue to just be blue, and so on
View 10 RepliesIve been working on creating a side scroller game, and the back color of my pictureboxes needs to go. when transparent, it shows through the program and onto whatever is active in your Windows os(usually Visual studios).
I am trying to rip pixel color off of the background image picturebox( the level), and replace parts of the character picture box that show transparency with the level art. there may be poor logic in my code?
Heres my code:
Dim newImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Image)
Dim backImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
Dim ximg As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox3.Image)
[code]....
not the best idea, but all i get is one color for all the level pixels placed in the new image, which is odd. any poor logic you see in this code that could allow the newImage.setPixel not to be 1 color? when i breakpoint, it is recieving different colors from the backimage.getpixel, but only putting one shade on for setpixel somehow. im not going for an accurate color read from the background yet, just wondering why im getting 1 pixel color for the whole picturebox background when being changed.
I'm trying to figure out some simple code to detect when a pixel changes color anywhere on the screen. Maybe with just a msgbox popup when it changes.

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 3 RepliesI'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

So, basically, I need two instances of that class in my form, right?I manage to initialize two, alright.

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 15 RepliesI am working on a project that has several different codes. These codes all basically are used this way:
CodeKey
Description
GetList
GetSpecific
SetProperties
All of my classes implement this. I am hesitent, however, to use an interface because of one problem--the type Codes vary by type. Some are strings, some are integers, some are bytes. The only way I could see using an interface would be to make the typeCode an object in the interface and then cast whenever I needed to use it, but that seems a bit silly. Any ideas? This is in VB.NET.
I have made a program that when you type {P in a rtb it erases the {P and makes the text purple. When I try to paste the rtb.text to a new rtb it loses the color codes. Is there a way for the text that is purple to stay purple?
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 10 RepliesIt seems the only options available to do multi-color on a string is either a bunch of label controls cleverly grouped together or to use a RichTextBox and play with the font properties as text is added to the control.
What I am looking for instead is some kind of control that can render some style of control codes out as color. Consider bash codes:
NORMAL='e[0m'
GREEN='e[0;32m'
BLUE='e[0;34m'
echo -e "This text is ${GREEN}green${NORMAL} and this text is ${BLUE}blue${NORMAL}"
In the above, the words 'green' and 'blue' will be colorized with their respective colors. I was wondering if there was a control with some kind of feature like this, or will I have to code something myself?
Note, I only have the Express copy of VB 2010, and I would very much like to avoid third-party controls.
