Lines Won't Draw To Picturebox?
Apr 11, 2009
I have a simple picturebox, line drawing procedure (call it "DrawTheLine"), which fires ok when I call it from a command button. But when I try to call it from the boot form_load procedure it doesn't work; no lines draw. No errors are raised.
Things I've thought of are:
1. The form_load procedure is not done creating all of the controls on the form, so it can't work with them yet. Doesn't make sense because my drawing call is the last thing in the form_load procedure, and it executes, but the picturebox does not show the lines.
2. Tried Application.DoEvents, but no go.
3. Tried using picturebox.invalidate to force a paint event and "called" the drawing procedure that way, with the appropriate arguments. Again, the procedure "DrawTheLine" fires, but no lines draw to the picturebox.

I'm making the transition from VB6 to VB2008 and I'm having difficulty finding the equivalent to[code]...
It seems in VB2008 I can only use pens inside a picturebox1_onpaint() subroutine, I can't tell a picturebox what to do from a button_click subroutine or form_load subroutine first and then send the results to a picturebox. I have no control over when the graphics are drawn and from which subroutine. How do I solve this in VB2008 ?

I have the following form:I want to join the boxes so that it looks like this: would rather create the lines on the userform manually but I do not think there is a way to do it. I've tried the following code but I cannot see the line:
Private Sub DrawLine(ByVal X_From As Integer, ByVal Y_From As Integer, ByVal X_To As Integer, ByVal Y_To As Integer, _
ByVal Line_Width As Integer, ByVal Line_Colour As System.Drawing.Color)

I need to draw dashed lines. I use this code:
Dim MyPen As Pen = New Pen(Color.Black, MyWidth) With {.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash}
MyGraphics.DrawLines(MyPen , MyDots.ToArray)
But since the distance between successive lines it too short, the dashes start each one too near to the last. It causes a continuous black line

I have some lines drawn in many different directions (2D y 3D enviroments). Is there any way to draw text oriented along the direction of each of these lines? It was an easy task in former versions of Visual Basic, but now it looks like a very tough -almost impossible- mission.

I'm trying to do something that is turning out to be out of my league at the moment. I need to draw geometric figures. These geometric figures have all the coordinates of their corners. Say I have a trapezoid, and I would want to draw it. The drawing would be done in a picturebox or a panel or a groupbox (some part of the form where only the geometric figure will be).
I saw the method on how to do that Here and that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve, but there it's drawn on a newly created form, and I need it in a picbox, panel or groupbox as I mentioned above. I also need the drawn figure to be at the center of the picbox/panel/groupbox.
The coordinates of the lines should be like (xa.text,ya.text) to (xa.text - xb.text, ya.text + yb.text) if I'm not wrong for the first line of the geometric figure and so on.

I think we can just draw an image that resemble the grid using this article : drawing in a datagridview Currently creating a way to make the image drawn in tile mode. Each time I develop a datacentric application using VB.NET regardless of how much the data displayed in the datagrid, I always want the grid to display full row of empty data, not just blank panel. Can we achieve this using VB.NET design time property? And also, we must not trigger the display of vertical scrollbar this way..

I've got a project where I want to be able to display a world map and draw lines between cities.I've looked at using a web browser with google maps but don't want it to have to be used while "online"
I've looked and longitude and latitude and converting these to UTM co-ordinates but i'm lost for how to place these on world map programaticly.I have a full list of all cities used in my program and have a list of their latitude and longitude co-ordinates because i need to work out thier distance apart which I have already done the code for.

I have started to work some more on my 'shape editor'. If you're not familiar with it,ust imagine the Visual Studio form designer: a 'canvas' (the form) with a bunch of 'shapes' (the controls) that can be selected, moved, resized, etc. I have just finished implementing snapping between shapes and the canvas boundaries. But now I am having some slight issues with painting the snap lines.Just FYI: this is what I mean by snap lines:The blue lines that indicate that the 'buttons' are snapped to each other, and a purple line indicating that button1 is snapped to the boundary.
My shape editor is based loosely on jmcilhinney's 'manipulating GDI+ drawings' codebank entry, and a central idea in that post is to only draw what is necessary. In other words, when I move a shape I could re-draw the entire canvas, but it is much faster and smoother to only re-draw the old and the new location of the shape. Since nothing else has changed, I don't need to draw the rest. So, I simply invalidate the old bounds and the new bounds, and even with a lot of shapes all moving simultaneously it still feels very smooth.

I am trying to draw a rectangle in a PictureBox (100 x 50)
Using gr As System.Drawing.Graphics = Picbox.CreateGraphics
Dim rect As New System.Drawing.Rectangle(10, 10, 80, 30)
gr.DrawRectangle(Drawing.Pens.Blue, rect)
End Using
From looking at the examples in my book, I "think" it should work, but alas, tis not working - nothing is drawn.
