How can I make the picturebox animate gif files?
Like, I have an image that has a few frames of animation, but the picturebox only shows the first frame, how can i make it continually loop the gif?
With battleaxe knight loaded and moving, I'd like to add animationI already have the frames for him to be animated, I just don't know how to animate him. (I have no experaince in game animation)
View 5 RepliesI have a PaintEventHandler connected to a picturebox via AddHandler.
In PaintEventHandler I have coded this for writing the drawing to PictureBox1.Image:
Dim PictureBox1 As PictureBox = CType(sender, PictureBox)
PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim bmp As Image = PictureBox1.Image
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
... drawing something ...
PictureBox1.Image = bmp
Everything works fine but after running through the paint event handler and showing the picture on the screen it calls the painthandler again and again. It does not stop.
Replacing the code above with
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Makes it running. But then I cant save the Image to a file.
So I have a ListBox that animates the images in it. Now I think this is impossible, but I need to let the user choose a custom animation speed. Here's the
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles animate.Click
Dim cananimate As Boolean = True

View 2 RepliesI'm putting together a user control that I want to have some animation in (it shows a pump running) and was able to cobble together a nice animated GIF with Photoshop:When I pop it onto a PictureBox in my control, it animates and looks really good.The problem I have, is I want to be able to change the color-palette information in the image to adjust the hue.Thus, when the user chooses "Color.Red", the image is altered so the dark blue in the image becomes Color.Red and the other colors are adjusted accordingly.
The color math I got no problem with, my problem is, how do you change the color information of an animated gif image without ruining it?I can't just convert it to a bitmap or I loose the animation. It has a single, universal color palette so it shouldn't be too hard.Pre-rendered GIFs aren't an option since these pumps pump colored liquid, I want the user to be able to set them on the fly.
i'm doing a simple form tat could add picturebox during runtime and i could add several picture into it.
View 5 Replieshow to graphically show an analog needle moving similar to an old analog meter. I have the picture of the meter I created in paint brush. What I need to know if possible is how do I show the needle moving to a certain value. Basically one end of the needle will be fixed in the middle bottom of the picture and it would move accordingly at a certain angle to my calculations of a certain process.
View 11 RepliesI have a form positioned slightly above the taskbar/system tray in the bottom right corner of my desktop window.It's sort of like a pop-up notification.The notification itself looks great,but there's a button on it which resizes the form up, animating the sizing in increments of 5px whilst keeping it's position relative to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem with this is that it doesn't look very smooth. Adjusting Me.Width resizes from the left so you have to then move the form to the left with Me.Left to compensate. Me. SetBounds just seems to be a wrapper for setting those properties anyway.Is there anything I can do to have the form smoothly (or at least appear to) resize outwards from the left of the form?

click on a picturebox and get a 'mark' to appear. (This currently works just fine using the code below.)I would like to have only one mark on the picture box at a time, i.e., I need to remove the previous mark on each mousedown event and I am unsure of how to get this done.Once the user has placed the mark correctly on the picturebox they will fill out a few extraneous textboxes of information and press a 'save' button. This will update a table (currently access) with that extraneous data plus the x and y of the mouse position when it was clicked.What I would like to do at this point in the process is remove the mark from the picture box and in it's place add a premade 'pin'. Sort of the thing you do in google earth. This would be a jpg or bmp or png file. The type does not matter.

I'm studying Visual Basic (using Visual Studio 2008) as part of an all-round IT foundation degree...I must confess that programming is becoming my weak spot!

View 3 RepliesI've rotate pictures using code like this vb.net Picture.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone)
How can I remove any rotation? I have a code which rotates images but and saves the roation to a database.For example I save a value such as
1 = 90
2 = 180
3= 270
4 = 0 (no roation)
Now looking at the MSDN on this topic if I wanted a user to rotate the image by clicking a button i could rotate 90 or 180 or 270. However, If I load the image location and rotation from a DB and the rotation is "2" I want it to roate 180. But using the same code If a user clicks a button (which goes through the options 1-4) and they are on "1" then click it and it goes to 2 i would only want to roate another 90. As at one it's already moved 90 so another 180 would mean it's rotated 270 in total.
For this reason I can not load a image and move it 180, I thought okay if I'm at "1" going to "2" I'll move it back 90 then forward 180 but if a image loads at 4 what does it do? does it go back thinking it's come from 3 or load at 4?
