VS 2008 Drawing On A Picture Box?
Feb 2, 2011
I have my application to where you can load up an image and draw on it with the mouse left down and drag.Only problem is, if the form becomes the inactive one or is minimized/maximized the drawings go away until I scroll the image in the form (I put the redraw functionality in the picturebox.Paint event).How can I make the lines I draw stay permanently? I've put picturebox1.refresh in the minimizedchanged/maximizechanged and form.activated events and still nothing..Even tried the picturebox's resize event and nothing?

In the project I am translating from vb6 to vb.net, one of the key features is in drawing various graphics like lines, circles, arcs, rectangles, etc in a Picture Box control. From what I have run into, there seems to be at least two different approaches, using WPF and GDI.

I'm drawing some text into a picture box and it just looks so poor - so pixelated.
Here is some code I'm using
Private Sub RedrawFileList()
Dim img = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(img)

studying 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?

I have a little experience with drawing using GDI+ in VB.NET, but not so much with more complex shapes. All I ever used were lines and rectangles, and the occasional ellipse.I need to draw an 'arc' like this:I can specify the starting angle (0 in the picture), ending angle (angle from the horizontal (left side)), and the starting and ending radius, and I'm sure any other things I need can be calculated from that.The problem is that I have no clue which drawing function to use. Can I do it using FillPath, or FillClosedCurve, or? Of course, I could create a pie shape and then draw a second pie shape (slightly less radius) on top of that to make it appear like it's a single shape, but what if it needs to be 'transparent'? I don't want it to draw a solid shape on top.

I need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False
[Code]....

I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawingbackgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?

I am having a bit of trouble drawing a grid with GDI+ and VB.net 2008. The grid is designed as one point perspective. The horizontal lines are not correctly positioned, and the form is taking a long time to draw. Could anyone suggest a faster, and mainly more accurite method?
Here is my code currently:
Public Class Form1
Const VanishPoint = -200
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height))

I'm trying to draw text on the progressbar. This code below works, but when the progress bar re-paints itself the text disappears.
ProgressBar1.CreateGraphics().DrawString(Vaule & "%", New Font("Arial", CSng(8.25), FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, New PointF(ProgressBar1.Width / 2 - 10, ProgressBar1.Height / 2 - 7))
jmcilhinney suggested i look into the PaintEventHandler.
I read the MSDN documents, but they used PictureBox(). I made this code below, but no luck.

my assignment is to draw a graph within my VB form with a some variables I have. I was told by my boss that I should use Microsoft Chart Control 6.0, but I don't think it matters if it is in another software.I currently have a few variables, each with a lot of values, "Frequency", which is user entered from maximum to minimum, CH (channel) 1-4 which are given by a machine output I use at my company. My graph, is supposed to have the Frequency values in the X-Axis (horizontal) and the CH 1-4 values within a range of each other in the Y-Axis. Can anybody help? My code for extracting the data and getting the frequency is below. How I got most of it is thanks to Stanav, the thread is over here: url...It comes with 3 buttons (I have not put in the code for button 3), the 3rd button will be used for plotting the graph when clicked.

Say I have 3 Buttons, labelled: Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3. When I click on any button I want a drawing of that unit to appear on screen at a pre-specified starting point. Thereafter when I press any other one of the buttons the unit drawings appear alongside each other in a line. So I could end up with:

What I want to do it pretty allow someone to take a look at a picture. Click the add point tool, then select an area on the picture where it places a circle.
