Custom ListViewGroup Drawing - Place An Icon Just Before The Group Text
Jan 20, 2010So I've created a custom ListView by inheriting it and overriding the OnDrawSubItem(). I can now draw icons in several of the columns. It's pretty nice! My question is, is there anyway to do this for the ListViewGroup? I'd like to place an icon just before the group text.
View 6 RepliesTransparent Graphics Surface In Program?
Jun 3, 2010I am making an application in VB.NET that allows a user to highlight some text in images of documents so that the highlights could be saved for future reference, but the original images would not be modified. I figured I can achieve it by creating a graphics out of an image file and allowing the user to draw on that graphics. The problem is - the graphics can not be created from indexed image files, which many of mine are. I am wondering: is it possible to create a transparent graphics surface above an image in a PictureBox control, so that the user could draw on that surface, but it would appear as if he is drawing directly on an image?
View 3 RepliesVS 2010 Exposing Picture Box Drawing Surface?
Dec 27, 2010studying GDI+ for drawing, there are many suggestions to expose the graphic surface for the paintbox control or a form using e.graphics in the paint event. Can graphics be exposed outside the paint for the picture box control?
In my old vb6 project that I am converting to vb.net 2010, I have several large routines located in a code module that draw lines, circles, etc on a picture box and it is desirable to keep these outside the paint event of the picture box so the same routines can be used to draw on more than one picture box.
In experimenting, I found I can create e.graphics from the picture box paint event and pass it by reference to a drawing routine and the drawing routine seems to work ok on initial experiments but it requires visiting the picture box paint event to get the drawing surface in the external sub.Is this apprach good programming practice or is there a better way to create the graphics surface of a picture box or form in subroutines outside the paint event?

VS 2010 Transparent Drawing Layer?
Feb 15, 2011Okay, I'm making a fresh start and re-exploring my options. I'm trying to put a layer of transparency over a program that will act as a drawing layer. The cursor should be able to sniff to see whether it's sitting on transparency, or a drawn object. Transparency it will click through, while clicking on a drawn object will enable the user to edit said drawn object.
I've been trying to do this using a user control I made from scratch, but this is starting to look more and more like a dead end the deeper I get into it. Currently the layer of transparency works, along with the cursor sniffing, but the user control refuses to be brought to the front.
Any ideas on other ways to go about this / ways to make the user control work?

View 5 RepliesLimit Where You Can Place Controls?
Feb 26, 2010I wrote a class, StyledForm that inherits from Form.
StyledForm draws a styled titlebar, ect. However, in the designer you can place a control over the titlebar (because it isn't actually the form).
In a normal form if you place a control in the same spot, the titlebar (or form edges) would draw over the control, and the control wouldn't receive input there.

View 6 RepliesTransparent Form But Controls Visible?
Feb 16, 2012I am having trouble finding a way to make the form transparent but the controls still visible. The only transparency I have been able to get to work on the form is
Me.Opacity = <value between 0 and 1>
but that affects all the controls on the form Is there a way to make the controls not inherit this property from the form? Is there another way to make the form transparent? I have buttons and a checkbox that I don't want to be affected by the transparency at all, and a picturebox that I do want to be able to control the level of transparency. Currently, I'm using a slider bar, and controlling the opacity of the form, but that makes everything on the form transparent. I'd actually like for the form itself to be completely invisible, and for my slider bar to control the opacity of the picturebox only.

View 4 RepliesGroup Controls In Form?
Feb 8, 2011How can I group controls in my Form?
I don't need groupbox or panels, just something in the code...
To make it clear:
I have one form, Form1.
I have 3 buttons: Button1, Button2 and Button3, and I have 2 labels, named Label1 and Label2.
I have 2 "groups", in group1 there is Button1, Button2 and Button3. In group2 there are the two labels (Label1 and Label2).
But how can I program that, that if I write (for example) "Group1.Hide()", then everything In Group1 hides (visible = false). And so on with group2.
How To Destroy A Group Of Controls
Mar 12, 2009I programatically add a group of UserControls to a flowLayoutPanel control.
sometimes I need to destroy that group of controls, but have no idea on how to do it.
assigning the flowLayoutPanel variable to nothing only erases the pointer, but the controls remain in the window.I have found a page in MSDN saying that the best way to destroy a control is to call the DestroyWindow API, to destroy the container window. But I don't want to destroy the container window.

Graphics Drawing And Moving Controls?
Oct 21, 2010I know this is probably not going to be simple, I tried searching around, but couldn't find anything. I am using some code to 'draw' text in a custom format to a panel with a custom bitmapped region (custom shape).Here is the code that writes the text inside a specified area:
g = LeftControlPanelV2.Panel1.CreateGraphics
Using fnt As New Font(New FontFamily("Arial"), 9, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
Dim sf As StringFormat = StringFormat.GenericDefault
sf.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord
[code]....
Obviously the text is not really located on the panel, but looks like it as it's drawn on top of the panel. So, when the panel or form that the panel is attached to moves, I lose the text. I though I could just call back to writing the text when the panel/form arrives at the correct place, while clunky, it works to a degree. I was hoping there was a better way of doing this, so that the text doesn't disappear when moving controls and I don't have to make repeated calls to the same drawing text over and over and over...
Edit: Should probably add that there will be 5 different panels each with their own custom drawn text, and all 5 need to move at the same time...
