VS 2008 Graphics For 8bppIndexed Images?
May 4, 2011
As we know, the Graphics class does not support for Indexed formats,like 8bpp, 4bpp, and 1bpp. Now I want to draw text on 8bppIndexed image displayed in my Picturebox. Also I want to PAN my image. If at all the "Graphics" Class supported 8bppIndexed Images, I would have done PAN Image using "LockBits" Method and drawn text on the Image using Solid Brush. But since that is not the case, how can I do these 2 operations without "Graphics" class.

I have an application that has a list of point and I can choose a tool and draw one image to different locations then remove them if I wish, and when I finish editing those images, I can then pick another tool . The images are supposed to go away that were drawn by e.graphics but they only do when I click in the picturebox. How can I hide the images or delete them from graphics when I choose another imageHere's the paint event alone
vb
Private Sub MapGrid_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MapGrid.Paint

I have been researching for a while, and now am converting my project from using forms to do transparencies to just drawing the images. At first, I thought picturebox's could be used, but can't figure out how to do transparencies on those, so I settled for drawing images. Here is what I am using: [Code] Now, I know these are not controls, but is there any possible way to make these drawn images have a click-able event fire?

I've been working on some custom graphics controls, and I found this weird problem with windows 7 rendering my button controls. I've used Photoshop to delete the pixels in the background all around the button image I'm using, then saved it as a GIF, and imported it into VS to use as the background image of my button. When windows XP renders it, it is fine, but when windows 7 renders it, all 4 corners have an odd white border around them.

I have multiple bitmaps(i) in arrays, and I want to know if I can save each of these bitmaps into on animated gif file. I thought about using image.saveadd() but i'm not sure if that will work.

I managed to combine two .png images into one, and then display the result in a pictureBox image.However, the pictureBox seems to scale up my image! Makes it bigger!The pictureBox size is 96x128. The two images I have combined are 96x128. The pictureBox's SizeMode is set to "Normal"I have noticed that even though the pictureBox's image seems to be zoomed, it is cut to keep the 96x128 rect. But I don't want it to be zoomed...

I have a Form1 where i can add usercontrols during runtime. I draw their appereance in the OnPaint event using the GDI+ engine. The greate part is that i want to be able to resize these images during runtime wich goes pretty well now cause i draw points in percentage of the control. Unfortunetly it is very difficult to draw nice images/drawings ect with the GDI+ engine. Is there any other way in doing this?

I've got a picturebox on my form which is supposed to hold a compass. I've created the compass with DrawEllipse, then I used a translatetransform() to move the origin to the center of the picture box:
[Code]
The problem is that it creates two images, one is correctly displayed of a compass with red tick marks, but the same image is displayed over it and is offset at the new origin (midx,midy). I tried using the prepend and append overload for the translatetransform sub but it didn't make a difference. I thought everything after the translatetransform would be set at the new origin, but it seems I'm creating the image twice, what am i doing wrong?

My app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Public finalshape As Region

I am starting to develop a card game client for a CCG a friend of mine and I are creating.
I have 2 forms Client.vb and Hand.vb linked with a module.vb
In essence when the app starts up I see the client. I can then click the "Hand" button and the Hand Window is shown as well.
What my goal is is to have it so that when i hover over the card (picturebox) in my hand form that it displays a larger image of that card in the preview box (Another picture box) In Client.vb
I have everything working except when i actually mouse over the image in the hand form it creates an error:
Error:A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in CCG 2.0.exe
The code in the mouse hover event:
Code:
F1.PictureBox2.Image = F2.PictureBox1.Image
Im Almost certain im going about this the wrong way but I cant seem to figure out any other way...
PS.I have attached an image to demonstrate what Im trying to do...

The app i am working on is for creating theme for the iPod touch... It has to deal with LOTS of images (100's potentially) There will be the set of default images, and then the user created replacement images. I started loading all the defaults into a resx file... thinking then I could just pull them out. now that I started setting the default, this sucks! lol the app will do this, on load it will set all the images (variables) to the resx images then when a theme is loaded, it will replace the default with the user image (if the user img exists) otherwise, the default stays. Then the "screen" is drawn to show the user. so, here is just the images to build the wallpaper, dock, and status bar...

We have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

ok, i know the code is a little rough, but it should be good to give you an idea of what im trying to do, if not i will still explain.simply draw 2 lines one from left to right, another from top to bottom, intersecting through the tip of the mouse.ok, theres no problem there the lines draw perfectally the way i want them.... BUT! now heres the issue im having.i cant get rid the previous lines.i did a bit of good old "Google'ing" and ran across a few links that all pointed me to the ReDrawWindow API, so i tried (as you can see in the above code) but i just cant seem to get it worked out.

So I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.

The idea is to scan a folder of images and then let the user navigate back and forth through the images using a couple of buttons.The problem is, I can only get it to return a single image, and not the whole lot. It's looks to me as though the images are getting assigned to the same index in the array. [code]

I was thinking to make an app to save images [or download images] to local hard disk. But to keep it easy, I want this app to create a small picturebox on form to show the thumbnail of downloaded image. Lets say a 5 pictureboxes has to be added with the thumbnails to show the recent downloads. A user can save the location where he wants to save the files on hard disk. A listbox or a dropdown menu will help in categorizing the images, like image1 in friends section, image2 in family section, image3 in others, etc... When the program restarts all the latest 5 thumbnails has to be loaded in pictureboxes and the directory that was chosen. Finally, a button that shows the downloaded images into original image file size one by one or a slide show. Is it possible to make such program?
