Using A LinkLabel To Change Form's Background Image?
Feb 3, 2011
Basically I'm trying to make a layout change on a form if a link label is pressed. My main form I want this on has a "default" layout with a background image in place. What I want to do is, name the link label "Plain Layout". When the link label is clicked, remove or "hide" the background image and replace it with the background color of "control". After this action is performed, I need the text to change back to "Default Layout" and "show" the image.
How do I change the Background Image of a form ? not with the properties I know how to do it from there I guess . but I want to change it with coding .How do I do that ?
edit : and another thing when I try to add an image to a image box it shows me the image error image. you know when it can't load the image. it actually showed it for 1 second and then it disappear .here is the code for the Image box
I am trying to put an image selected by the user into the form background. This means that an image from a specified file destination to be set as background.
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.
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?
Ok so i have a form of witch the user is able to change the background image of. The form has labels on it. How can i make the fore colour change to be if possible the opposite colour to the image where the label is in order to make it readable?
I need to be able to change the start up forms background image and i am lost on how to do it. Below is what I have tried. Can anyone tell me how this can be done.
Code: '1 try Dim f1 As frmMain f1.BackGroundImage = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "" & "MyBitmap.bmp") '2nd try Me.BackGroundImage = ImageList1.Images(0)
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 have 2 events, one is that user can drag and drop the checkbox to wherever they like and other is to double click on the form to change background image. How to save these settings so the next time the form run, I'll have new checkbox position and background image.
Im building a software but look,,I have some images at my resource folder..I cant make it when the mouse double click the form the background image changes,,,I can make one image to change when u double click the form..example:
I'm trying to make a visual map editor, and figured that a DataGridView would be the best way to go. I would like to make it so that you can click one of many buttons to set which new image the grid cell will be set to when you click it. I've set up pretty much everything except that I can't figure out how to set the background image of the cell that I clicked.
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 a form with a tab control on it. I would like to be able to rotate backgrounds, from the code.I'd especially like to be able to change just one tab on the tab control. I know how to do this in the IDE, of course.)
I added an image as the background image for a form in VB.net. When I run the program, after approx. 5-6 seconds, the image partially overlays itself, as in an offset overlay of the underlying image. I never had this problem in VB6, but I did have it the other time I used a background image on a form in VB.Net.
how i can refresh my main form background image once a user picks a different image as the background.I have 2 forms namely Form1 (main form) and form2 from where the user can select the image he or she would like to set as the background image of form1.But the problem is that after selecting the image file from form2,when form1 is opened the background image doesnt change and remains the same as before.Only when the user ends the program and re-runs it again the image changes.
I have a rich text box that I want to show as un-editable and un-selectable text. If I set Read-Only to YES and Enabled to NO, then I get the desired effect...
...except disabling the control changes the background color to the washed out grey. I'd like to keep the background color white.
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.
I've been trying to make an image viewer that keeps top most while I do other things (like typing, etc), so I don't have to hop windows, or sacrifice screen real estate.I made a main form, and a configuration form (opened by pressing o), with options to set the main form's opacity (working), the picture displayed (as the form's backgound picture, not working), and if the main form stays top most or not (working).
Instead, the form just keeps displaying the image I set in the IDE.I first used a picture box to display the picture, which did not work, and decided I didnt need to have a picture box if I set the picture as the form's background picture.I tried looking at what could be going wrong, but couldnt find out much more than the path is being delivered to the main form.I'm working on Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2, VS2003, and here's the code.PS The code links to a D:ath-fin.jpg that I used as the default background picture, and the code is for 2 seperate forms.
