I am building a application in VB 2010 Express, that tracks sales leads, I have everything working except 1 last item. I want the users to be able to select a different background image to match their industry. I have all the images embedded, but can't figure out how to allow the user to select.
Preference is to have a separate form for the user to cheese on launch, but I am OK with it just being a dropdown in the lower left corner of the app.
I am trying to find information on code to make the lines of a jpg file that have been loaded into a VB.NET WebBrowser control into selectable objects.
I have no idea what to search for or the correct terminology.
This is very similar to using the line tool in word or excel, after you draw a line you are able to select it.
I am already familliar with applying an image to a form background. My application has many in it, but I want to give the user the option of browsing for an image of their own to apply to a form. I don't intend to save the images as defaults or anything. Just the option to browse and apply to a form.
How can i change the background image during runtime? so far, i have an openfiledialog that grabs the location of the .png or .bmp file and then i have this below it[code]...
How can i fix the error that i get "Type system.string cannot be converted to type system.drawing.image"
i'm currently wonder how to let the users change the font size via a combo box(I have it set up for Small,Medium and Large) That should be fairly easy. The next is more complex. I want users to be able to browse for an image and use it as the background image of the program.
I am working on a windows form project and having some problem with UserControl Double Buffering.I created a usercontrol and has a background image, then on top of it I have few radio buttons and labels. Radio buttons and labels are all having transparent background as color.However, when I show and hide the User control, I can see the flickering on those labels and radio buttons that has transparent background.And I tried
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer _ Or ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint _ Or ControlStyles.UserPaint _

I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?
what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked MiDNiGHT.BackgroundImage = Nothing[code].......
I'm making a front end to dvdauthor.I have a picturebox which holds the menu background. In order to draw a textbutton on the background image I store the image in a hidden picturebox. So the text doesn't get drawn to the visible background.
Dim ctl As Control For Each c As Control In pbMenu1.Controls If c.GetType() Is GetType(TextBtn) Then[code]...
This works the first time. But if I hit save again it writes the text to the background image on pbMenu1.
I'm creating a calculator for a university coursework project and I wanted to know how do you add a background image in the main form in Visual Basic 2008 as I want to have the calculator have a background image similar to one that I programmed when I was studying VB6 years ago (but which I've since forgotten how to program in).
I have a gif there are animated, and want to use thisas a background images on my formbut the image will not be show, instead it show the bagground colorCan't i use this file?
i currently have 2 pictureboxes, 1 textbox, 1 timer .picturebox1 is at location 0,0, picturebox2 is at location 200,0..by using the following code, i can paste a url from a image in the textbox and have it display properly in my picturebox1, set to zoom ..
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load PictureBox1.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom Timer1.Start() End Sub[code]......
I don't have code yet I was looking for an example to start from. This dialog box I am entering my data into has exactly what I want. I just want to be able to call the image in from my code when I want.....
I'm having a few problems creating a transparent form. The reason I want to do this is because I'm attempting to make a custom border (one that isn't exactly square).I can already get the form to be transparent, then I set my custom background image, which all works perfect, it even detects when the mouse enters the image, which is great. (I use transparency key to make the form transparent)
The problem is, if I add ANY control, or even if I just save the file, NOTHING else, the whole thing has a spaz attack.. Instead of having the image with the transparent form, the square form appears every time I run the app.
I have inserted PNG image (transparent background) but it can't go to transparent. I want it to be front of other label but it's gray background hide the text what i have to do with this?
For my masterpage, I embedded an image on HTML DIV. Background image did appear, but with 4 white border-like surrounding my image, where I didn't apply any.
I have a 18kb 1024 x768 jpeg image that is set as background image of my form. The problem is the form now lags like crazy. How can I eliminate the lag?
I have been trying to make a "skinnable" program, and I am having trouble making it so that when the user clicks a button, it changes to a different image for the background.
