VS 2008 - Get Buttons With Images On Them And Make Them Look A Bit Nicer
Mar 20, 2009
Me again, today I would like to know how to get buttons with images on them and make them look a bit nicer, like so.....Instead of the ugly ones that I'm forced to use...
I want to use an image to some buttons . I know I can set the Image property and select an image file . My problem , however , has to do with the fact that the image in the file is always shown inside a gray contour . I mean the image itself (i.e. an exclamation mark) is shown correctly , but though around it there is nothing (not even a gray surface - just nothing) the image is displayed with gray color filing everything else . Back in VB6 I had no such problem ... I could simply select my image and it was shown correctly .
How can i make a button flick from image to image from my resources rather that use a "backcolour" I got this code off "Bruce Fox" to make it flick from red to black.Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
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?
I know it is not vb question but I was wondering if there is any place to get the common images for buttons (like save, clear, find, new , delete etc...)
I'm doing a project using VB 2005 Images of the application simulates using an accelermoet. However, right now, i need to create 4 buttons to simulate the diagonal position of the image.Right now, the accelerometer can move the image in 4 directions (mainly left, right , Up, Down).The 4 buttons mention, is in diagonal position( 45 degree Leftup, 45 degree Leftdown, 45 degreeRightu, 45 degree RightUp, 45 degree RightDown).I need to do it the way in which when my image is moved using the accelerometer, and once when i hit any of the 4 buttons, the image move accordingly. And when i use the accelerometer again to simulate, it also move.[code]
When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?
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 have placed several PictureBox Images of different colored dots(which represent lights) on an image of a Christmas Tree. I can make the lights randomly flash using a randomGenerator and a Select case statement. However, the code is very long. There are 67 lights on this tree and the code is 71 pages long. There has to be an easier way to do this. So far I have tried the following with two images of lights just to see if it would work and it does not work:
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...
I'm trying to make buttons that will open each of the "special folders" in Windows Vista. Here's an example:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click Process.Start("explorer.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)) End Sub
As you can see in the above code, the button will open the Documents folder. My problem is the only folders this method can open are the documents, pictures and music folders, while I also want to open these folders below:
Downloads Videos User folder (aka the folder that has the user name on it) Computer (aka My Computer in XP)
I need this for my program. There is "add images" button where you can load multiple images and those images should be show on listview after loading.I have been trying to make this but could not get it work.
i need to get some buttons to interact with other buttons on screen when i click then, as each indivual button gives a slightly different result.imagine this:[code]....
then i need then to hide different buttons depending on which button was pressed. so say i pressed button 1 then all the buttons showed but alternativly if i had of pressed 2 then say button 5 and 6 disapear.managed to get one way to work but then i would only ever end up with the first results every time.
I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?
Can somebody send me a sample code to my E-Mail. I want to know how to make a buttons to Visual Basic. I need a source code for two buttons and a number display. One button Increases the number. Othe Decreases the number. Can you send a code as a attachment to my E-Mail.
Do you know of any tutorial that could help me make a custom button in vb.net. Because visual studio 2008 doesn't allow you to create buttons in circle or triangular shapes. I've tried searching and found this one but, I cannot make use of it because there are lots of errors.url...
I am trying to make a working calculator. Would like to learn about events in the process.Primative example:Sub Subroutine(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)What does the 'e' stands for?
I am currently just starting to make a game. I used graphics to create the main menu buttons, but it doesn't have a click event. So what do I do to get it to do something when I click on it.

I have several textboxes in my form and a groubbox that have four radiobuttons. I want all the values of the textboxes (and the selection of the radiobuttons) to be stored in sql server. As far as the values of the textboxes in concerned, I managed to do it. But what about the selection of the radiobuttons??? This is the code I am using for the textboxes:
objConnection.Open() objDataAdapter.InsertCommand = New SqlCommand() objDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Connection = objConnection
