I have been using Bitmap.SetPixel & copying the entire bitmap to a picture box after the entire graphic has been drawn. When running debug within the IDE, this takes less than 10 seconds, while DrawEllipse or Rectangle takes almost 4 minutes.I will be using the more time consuming method for my next application, since that application requires seeing points set in Picture Box as they are generated
View 2 RepliesI have a icon maker program. I have two pictureboxes pic1 and pic2 and a open image button. I need a code that will if the pic1.image color has any red in it, it will take that red and turn it into the desired color. I know you can use getpixel and setpixel but I don't know how to use these.
View 13 RepliesI worked in a role and functioning properly. The problem is that it is a bit slow for use in many images would be very slow. I read online that with stride and scan0 and working in memory with buffer can be made faster, but i donīt understand anything . Does anyone know how it works or how to make my code run faster?

I'm having 3 digit hexadecimal value, example "ccc" How can I use this value for setpixel function.
out.SetPixel(j, k, Color.FromArgb(255, Val("&H" & "ccc"), Val("&H" & "ccc"), Val("&H" & "ccc")))
It gives error, How can I use 3 digit Hex value.
I am trying to use GetPixel and SetPixel to copy the contents of one picture to another (I know there are other methods to do so, but there are reasons I want to try this ;D)Anyway, the pictures are .png images, so they include transparency settings.
But for some reason, it seems like when I use GetPixel & SetPixel to put one image over another, it seems the second image completely replaces the other one. I mean, it seems the transparency settings are not respected when I use GetPixel & SetPixel.Both images have the same size. Both have transparent areas.
Here's my

"SetPixel is not supported for images with indexed pixel formats."

View 2 RepliesI have a PaintEventHandler connected to a picturebox via AddHandler.
In PaintEventHandler I have coded this for writing the drawing to PictureBox1.Image:
Dim PictureBox1 As PictureBox = CType(sender, PictureBox)
PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim bmp As Image = PictureBox1.Image
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
... drawing something ...
PictureBox1.Image = bmp
Everything works fine but after running through the paint event handler and showing the picture on the screen it calls the painthandler again and again. It does not stop.
Replacing the code above with
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Makes it running. But then I cant save the Image to a file.

Hey I am making a GDI++ game in vb.net. Now what I want is the monster(picturebox) to go after the player(picturebox). There Are No Vertical Walls. Only The Edge of map barriers. For example to get to the player the AI would have to go to the end of the ledge and either jump off and fall to the lower ledge or take the ladder down. There is no jumping, only falling and going up and down ladders and across the horizontal ledges. So How Can I make this pathfinding system?

I need to plot some analog values read from the serial port.I plot them in a picturebox starting from left. When I reach the end of the control at the right side I shift all values to the left of a point and I plot the new point at the right, (I have some flickering but it could be acceptable). This is my plotting control.My problem is that I have to clear the control (picturebox) in order to plot the shifted graph, but the method Clear of the Graphics class clears everything inside the picturebox, even my grid.How can i make always visible a grid "in" my picturebox?
1.a transparent image with a grid over the PB? (the clear method cannot remove it)
2.an image with a grid below the picturebox that must be with a transparent background to make visible the grid?
3.multiple layers on the same picturebox?
i'm doing a simple form tat could add picturebox during runtime and i could add several picture into it.
View 5 RepliesOk, so I have a new challenge for the D.I.C. Heads. I'm making a simple little game using VB controls. I know it's not the best idea in the world but it'll have to do for now!
Here is whats happening. I've created a class that inherits the PictureBox control that I want to use to place my game pieces on the playing field.
Dim pbArmyUnit(0) As ArmyUnit ' ArmyUnit is a Class that inherits Picturebox now I create the playing pieces at runtime as needed and append them to the array. Player currently buys the units and places them on the playing field.
[Code]...
On a side note how can I look at a stack of pictureboxes all created at runtime to determine whats at a particular location? Example. I move my army unit over top of the picturebox that shows my forest. How can I tell what picturebox I just moved on top of? does that make sense? I don't need code for this just directions on looking at the right info so I can figure it out.
I am creating my terrain at runtime as well since it's randomly generated. and I'm basically making an array of 192 pictureboxes with the appropriate terrain image as well as some other modifiers. Just like with my armies above I've inherited picturebox and created a terrain class array, this way I'm able to add my movement modifiers etc, directly to the picturebox I place on the screen. It's these pieces of terrain that I want to be able to check before allowing the unit to move into them! to get movement costs etc.
how do i create an event for MouseEnter but instead of the mouse a picturebox?
View 5 RepliesI have a picturebox on a form. The image in the picturebox is actually a report. I want it so if the user clicks on it it will zoom larger --- while the picturebox remains the same size. Of course, the entire image will no longer be seen. So I also want to be able to drap this image around with the cursor. The examples I've found for picturebox zooming cause the picturebox itself to get bigger and smaller. I need it to be like an Access report. Click on the report and it gets bigger. Click again and it goes back to the full image. Does anyone know of an example or tutorial in VB.Net for this type of zoom-with-fixed-size picturebox function?
