View 1 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Gradient To MDI Form Causes Flicker?
Feb 5, 2009I am using a MDI form and child forms. Now I don't like the standard back colour of mdi form so I got code on the net which paints a gradient colour to the mdi. So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.
View 2 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Stop Things Being Redrawn Flicker
Dec 1, 2008I'm having trouble with a football program that I'm writing. I'm finding that there is a lot of flicker coming from the program having to redrawn 36 (Australian football) small circles with numbers in them about 10 times per second (or even more) as the players move.I'm just using basic e.graphics. fillellipse.code in the Paint section of the form. I then use me.invalidate on the timer's tick routine.I haven't touched this graphical stuff for a while and I vaguely remember there being some ways to help this. There are also things like the ground which I'd like to not have redrawn because they don't have to as they don't move. I remember that you can do this but I don't remember how.
View 2 RepliesAvoiding Flicker When Drawing Multiple Bitmaps With Graphics.DrawImage
Mar 15, 2011I need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?
Dim Gfx As Graphics
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint Or ControlStyles.UserPaint Or ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
Dim rectBrd As Rectangle 'use as clipping region for drawing

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 Make Bounds For A Character That Can Jump?
May 25, 2010I am trying to make bounds for a character that can jump. I have made the character graphic into a rectangle and I have a square block in the game that the character must jump onto and I have set that as a rectangle.
How would I make it so when the character jumps onto the square block, he stays up there and then when he jumps down, and touches the ground, he stays on the ground. My current jump code is standardized; it does not detect changes in the Y-coordinate. What I have done in the jump for the character is I have made it so the Y-coordinate is increased by a certain amount and decreased by the same amount so the difference is equal to 0.
For example:
Character.LocationY += 8
Character.Location -= 8
Making A Character's Graphics?
Jun 5, 2009As some of you may know, school is coming to close for summer recess, and final projects are coming up. My Computer Science teacher has asigned us an animation project. Basicly, all we have to do is make a game where we make a picturebox move using the arrow keys and it flips to face the direction its going in. This is a little easy for me, and i really want to go above and beyond and make my final project my best. So instead of little 2-D picture boxes moving choppily across the screen, can i push visual basic's limits and make a 3-D representation of a character in my game and use that with the arrow keys?

View 7 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Best Way To Make A 'tile Selector' Box?
Jan 16, 2011So now I will try to make something more complex, still playing around with this graphics thing.I want a picturebox to display a tileset (a bunch of 32x32 tiles normally used for creating game levels etc), the picturebox is inside a container (which has autoscroll ON). The picturebox is larger than the container, so the container will make scrollbars automatically.Now, I need to be able to choose a tile or multiple tiles (if I click & drag the mouse)Basically I want to draw a 32x32 "red" box over each selected tile (so the user knows what tiles are selected).So first of all, I need to know when the mouse clicks the picture. Good. It works.Now, I need to know which 32x32 tile was clicked. Well, I think I can calculate that just fine.BUT, what if the user drags the mouse while clicking on a tile? I want to support multiple tiles selected, but I am clueless about tracking what tiles were chosen.If we solve that problem, I would have another curiosity: You know the "red boxes" that tell you which tiles are selected? What would happen if I dragged the scroll bar? I need the redboxes to move along with the picture, and hide if they go to an invisible area.

Jul 11, 2004I am trying to incorporate in my vbdotnet application a form in which I would like to make a thumbnail from an image. So what I have is two picture boxes, one with the source image and the other with the destination image, I would like to crop the image from picture box 1 and display it on picture box 2, but the way I wan to crop it is not giving the coordinates of the selected area box but to simulate a selection area box in which the mouse can move the box and select the area of the picture to be cropped. This selection area box would give me the coordinates i need in order to proceed the cropping. The problem is I don't know how to create this selection area box. It is like doing the cropping on a graphic design software like Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe photoshop, even paint.
