change my MDIClient's background image I've decided that painting over it is the best way to go (because of scaling). Problem is, when the form (and the MDIClient) get scaled/resized, there's massive flicker even with the ControlStyles and form double buffering.

I've been trying to get the double buffer function working in VB.NET GDI+ for a space invaders game using the following command.[code]But because I am using a separate draw routine attached to a class it doesn't seem to work:[code]The aliens draw correctly but the images are very stuttery and double buffering doesn't seem to work.
View 1 RepliesI've asked this question before, and so have many before me, i have done extensive research on the topic and stil no help. Maybe this is some kind of secret info. shared only amongst top programmers. Bt how do you really, trully double buffer a form, aside from setting "Double Bufferd" to true, which doesn't work in most cases, I want to know how do companies lyk Microsoft and Symantec, prevent flashes on big applications such Word and Norton.
View 4 RepliesTo Double Buffer or not to Double Buffer this is the Question!I have a form with Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint that sets forms background to a gradient fill ,on top of that is a transparent richtext box.
Ok. now here`s the problem ,If i enable forms double buffering the transparent Rtb doesn't flicker when forms resized. but the forms drop shadow does flicker! ,its a boarderless form using CS_DROPSHADOW to draw the drop shadow Now if i disable double buffering the forms drop shadow doesn`t flicker but the transparent Rtb does ,any one have a clue how to get both to work in harmony !
I have a need to double buffer a flowlayoutpanel. I have the form set to doublebuffered which is half the story but their is no property in the list to make the flowlayoutpanel do this (although MSDN states that it has this property) how i can set it to true for the panel?
View 5 RepliesI have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dlls which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I go from the main program to the dll, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker?

This is my code for retrieving pictures, it was working before but then i accidentally deleted the table and i created it again with the same name and same fields. and now whenever i open the form with the picture, there was a message box error. it says Buffer cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer I don't know what i did wrong.
What this code will do to the copy?

I use the following code (with Imports Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound and Microsoft.DirectX) to play sound using an 8 second static buffer:
Dim SD As Device = New Device
SD.SetCooperativeLevel(Me.Handle, CooperativeLevel.Priority)
Dim MS As New IO.MemoryStream(Gbuffer) ' Gbuffer is byte array with properly formatted WAV data
Dim waveFormat As New WaveFormat
waveFormat.SamplesPerSecond = 44100

What I would like to do next is to change to a "circular" or "streaming" buffer so that I can write new data "on the fly". I've done a lot of Googling but can't quite see how to adapt my present code to use a circular buffer. I can get the current write and play positions using Msb.GetCurrentPosition(iPlayPos, iWritePos) but how do I actually insert new data into the buffer? I have tried "manually" writing new data into my Gbuffer byte array but that doesn't work - I guess once a sound has been played through once, the data is cached somewhere and the contents of Gbuffer are not used again.

I have a Winform application where i added picturebox's to a flowlayout panel dynamically from code.

I have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?

I have written this code and tried running it but I am getting errors in the code segments below. The error says "conversion from string to double is invalid". whereas the calculation for 'y' is an addition so should not be giving the value it is giving at the moment. ICCPtotcircuitres is also returning 'nothing'.

I was wondering if it someone could help me solve this problem. I have a full screen application with a panel in the center which is used to display different user controls and screens when the user uses the app.However, I have a rather large gradient image set as my form's background and it causes the panel to flicker every time controls are added. I find that when the background image is removed the flicker goes away. How can I keep the background image but eliminate the flicker? My form is already double buffered.

I am creating a math related class and one of the problems I have been having was how to create a function to return the fractional part of a double as an integer. I could easily do that if there was a way I could get the length of the digits.
-3.141 should return 3
-0.125 should return 3
-0.5 should return 1
-0.4545 should return 4
I would like to do this without using string manipulation. So far all I have gotten on the web is unanswered questions. I thought of using log, but it doesn't give the desired result when working with numbers < 0
For greater accuracy I should use a Decimal instead of a Double ( so I've been told ). Why then have Microsoft chosen to use DOUBLE for most of the functions that return a floating point value in the Math Class?
