VS 2010 Picturebox Paint Events?
Mar 27, 2011
I am working with a picturebox and i am drawing lines during my paint event. My goal is too draw the lines and export the picturebox.image with the lines i drew out to a Everything seems to be working correctly so far. The code executes. A file is written. But it is always just the original image from the picturebox with no lines on it. I have setup the pictureboxes so i can see exactly where i am in the code when it trys to save. I can also verify that before i click the button that calls the save feature the lines are absolutely drawn in the picturebox.
I seem to remember someone telling me at some point that the lines i draw wih the paint event are not actually a part of the picturebox image but more an overlay on top of it. I think this may be my issue. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

correct way to draw rectangles onto a picturebox, and also to explain the paint event more clearly.Basically I have an application where a picturebox contains an image, this image is a small computer monitor as such:
The idea of this part of my application is that the user can draw small window size rectangles which represent windows later on. I have already used some excellent code on this forum to be able to draw the rectangles on the picturebox (As pictured above), the rectangle outline is drawn from MouseDown and MouseUp respectivley.
The problem I am encountering is with the 'repainting' of this rectangle. I have included code to repaint the rectangle in the Paint event of the picturebox. This works when you move the picturebox 'off screen' and bring it back. However when the form is re-sized or other various things occur the rectangle is not re-drawn? even though the picturebox 'appears' to be clean and always there!
My code is below, it is not full and complete, but the few main subs listed should give an indication as to how I am currently creating the rectangle:
Private Sub picboxAdvDisplay_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles picboxAdvDisplay.MouseDown
'Set the flag for Drawing enabled
[code]....
1. What is the CORRECT way to draw a rectangle onto a Picturebox?
2. How do you code so that the rectangle is ALWAYS visible/drawn on a form re-size, minimise, window overlap etc etc.

I am building a form that will load individual items(from individual files) or a catalog of items(from a list of items). I then click the item I want to use to select it. Everything works correctly, when I click an item it selects the correct stitch. The only problem is, it doesn't display correctly when I load from a catalog. I can open individual items and it works fine. When I load a catalog it doesn't display the images correctly.

I am writing a program to draw lines over an existing image within a PictureBox. The routine works perfectly INSIDE the PictureBox (I'm drawing a rubberband line), but I cannot get the mouse to work on any buttons OUTSIDE the picturebox. (In this example, Button1 doesn't respond)

I am working on a small desktop form in VB 2010 and am trying to place a pictureBox with an image in it, next to another pictureBox already located on the form when the user clicks a button.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim tool As String
[Code]....
But for some reason the newPictureBox with image from "ptext" does not show up on the form. When I specify the new Point to be something like, (50,50) instead of getting the first pictureBox coordinates, the new pictureBox shows up in the right place.
Am I using System.Drawing.Point wrong? Or is there some other error that I'm making?

Well I currently just finished my game, but it ended up around 1GB. Thus, I tried to revise the code to make it smaller. I am trying to get 2 form events under a single sub. For example, a sub for a town would have the shown event and the click event. However, when I try that it won't work.
The other way is to transfer variables and its data from one sub to another. But I dont know how to either Example:
Private Sub Number
Dim TheNumber as integer
TheNumber = 1

I made a custom control for my form. It's basically a custom button I made using a label.The only problem is, when I apply a myButton_Click event to the control in my main form, it will only be triggered if the control itself is clicked. The label takes up the entire form (it's docked inside it). The click event isn't triggered when the control (virtually the label) is clicked. You must click behind the label (the form's background) for the event to be triggered. How can I pass the myButton_Click event to the label so it is triggered when the label is clicked? I hope I'm making sense.

I took a VB class a couple semesters ago and I did really well. Unfortunately, it seems as though we only covered the very basics within the class, as I feel rather clueless right now.
Here's my issue. I'm trying to write a program that will encode notes (like music notes, A-G#) which are entered by the user, into digits, 0-9. Now I have the system laid out, in that 1-8 will represent A-A, while a 0 or 9 preceding a digit will represent a flat or sharp respectively.
Now my question is actually rather basic, but I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. The user will enter the note sequence by clicking on buttons (12 of them). What I'd like to do is create one sub that will handle all possible button clicks. I suppose it's possible that I could have separate subs for each and every button; but it just seems more efficient and cleaner to have one sub that manages them all.
The part I have completed and working properly will display a message (the same message) in a messagebox each time any of the buttons are clicked. So I have the "Handles" part working for all 12 buttons. But what I'd like to do is write code, perhaps "If" statements such that If "btnA" is clicked, then say "You clicked Button A," and If "btnASharp" is clicked, then "You clicked Button A Sharp," and so on. Is it possible to do this somehow by recognizing which event was actually triggered?

I am trying to make a UserControl or Component which can be dragged from the Toolbox onto a container control such as a Form or a Panel. Its purpose is to change the behaviour of that container. In particular, I would like to add functions to the container's painting and mouse actions. I DO NOT want to have to write code for the container itself -- that's the whole point of the Toolbox object.
I can do this by getting a reference to the object's Parent (or Host in the case of a Component) and handling its events, as this example illustrates:
[Code]...
However, I have heard that handling the events of a parent control conflicts with OOP principles. So I would like to know, does that objection apply in a case like my example? If so, what are the drawbacks? And what alternative techniques are available?

I'm working on a grid of cells that is something like a DataGridView, but not really. The two are close enough that you can picture a DGV for the purpose of this question. What is actually there (and this is true for actual DGVs) is a set of cells drawn on the screen with a couple scrollbars for vertical and horizontal scrolling which are only drawn if there is too much data to show in the visible cells. There aren't more cells than the ones that are visible, so when you scroll the scroll bar, it looks like new cells are being displayed, but what is actually happening is that the existing cells are just being filled with different data depending on the position of the scrollbar. The key observation is that the set of controls displayed in the grid is always the same (unless the grid is re-sized, but that's not relevant to this issue). The appearance of those controls can change, but the controls themselves do not.
One of the features I am adding is the ability to drag-copy data similar to how Excel works. In my case, if you click on a cell, then drag outward (move the mouse while holding the button down), all the cells in the selection rectangle are tinted green. This works nicely. Some of the cells are enabled, while others are disabled. If the drag selection includes disabled cells, those are not tinted. Only enabled cells can be selected, though a drag can cover disabled cells. The relevant point here is that some cells are enabled and some are disabled.
The feature that I am adding is the ability to do drag selection beyond the visible edge of the grid. The grid is a monthly calendar, and I simply can't get 31 cells onto even a wide-format screen. What I am trying to do is allow the user to do drag-copy onto days that are not currently visible. The way I do this, the user clicks in a cell, then drags out to the border, at which point the grid scrolls (the scrollbars move, and the contents of the cells is updated as a result of the changes to the scrollbar value). This is largely working.
The way I handle the selection is that when the user presses the mouse button while over a cell, a flag is set to indicate that the button was pressed, and the current cell is recorded (so that I know where I started from). MouseMove events are used to figure out what new cells the user has visited, and set the selection area based on whatever is under the rectangle described by the initial click point and the current point. Lastly, when the user releases the mouse button, the MouseUp event initiates the actual copy. At that event, I know that the user is done with that copy action. Therefore, the MouseUp event is kind of critical, and therein lies the problem.
As I mentioned, some of the cells are disabled and some are enabled. Disabled controls don't raise events. If I click on a cell, it HAS to be enabled, but that's fine. The problem is that if I then move the mouse in such a fashion that the grid scrolls such that the cell that I had initially clicked on is no longer enabled, then the cell doesn't raise events any more, and the MouseMove and MouseUp events stop happening.I only see one viable solution, which is to not toggle the enabled state of the grid cells. Instead, I would have to have to add a custom property that would make the control act and look disabled as far as the user was concerned, but it wouldn't be disabled as far as the program was concerned such that it would keep raising mouse events. This would be pretty rough, since I would need to prevent the control from appearing to have focus even though it technically would have focus

I'm trying to make a way to navigate around a custom grid. Basically, I'm implementing the drag-copy feature from Excel. Right now, you click on a cell grid and can drag around the grid. Anything in the drag area gets a green tint. Once you release the mouse button, whatever was in the first cell selected is copied to all the others that are tinted. That works pretty nicely, but it works only for the cells visible on the screen. I can live with that, but decided that if you dragged over the scroll bars or the column or row headers,then the grid should scroll (if there is anywhere to scroll).
That's where the problem arose. It turns out that scrollbars don't raise the MouseMove event (at least not as far as I can see), and the MouseEnter and MouseHover events are not fired as long as the mouse button is held. Interestingly, the MouseLeave event does occur when the mouse button is held, just as the MouseMove event is occuring for all the cells. That's pretty annoying. Why do some mouse events get raised when the mouse button is down while the others don't? Also, I suppose, is there any way around this?

A form's key events will fire when you press a key. Place a control on that form and it won't happen any more because that control has focus. There are exceptions to this however as you will see if you place just a h or v scrollbar on the form. The key event will fire because the scrollbars can't receive focus as is demonstrated by the following
Private Sub ScrollBar1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles VScrollBar1.GotFocus
Debug.Print("Scroll GF")
End Sub
[code]....
So I've made my own special scrollbar usercontrol and i can't figure out how to have it leave the key events alone. I'm pretty sure that the problem is that my usercontrol can receive focus at the moment.
I found that the way of doing this is "SetStyle(Windows.Forms.ControlStyles.Selectable, False)". I put that in the new event of my usercontrol and now it looks like this:
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the designer.
InitializeComponent()

Neither code is firing.The CausesValidatition of the txtMenuOwnIP is set to true.I can enter stuff into that Textbox and leave it using the Mouse or simply piush Enter, but the posted code won't get fired (used a Breakpoint in both subs). There are no other event routines for this command used.

I know I can set the program to require administrator privileges in the manifest file.However, I don't need the whole program to have these privileges.
I only need admin when I want to write to the registry (this doesn't happen often).9 out of 10 times when the program runs it doesn't need to write to the registry, so only when I click on a specific button the box where the user can choose wether or not to grant admin to the program should show.

I have a question for the well versed among you. I have done some research, but didn't seem to find the exact answer I was looking for. So without further adieu.Given an event which needs to occur at a very specific time, whats the best and most predictable way or making that happen.
A: Use a worker thread, and threading.thread.sleep(TIME).
or B: Use System.Timers.Timer or System.Threading.Timer to execute in (TIME).
NOTE- I am fully aware that any of these will work. My question is in regards to priority of execution. How will a timer, which I can't figure out how to set a priority on, compare to a thread with a priority of Highest or even Real Time. Microseconds DO count in this instance.

I have a contextmenustrip containing a datetimepicker. Now the problem is that when I choose another date in the datetimepicker the event for that goes through without a problem BUT the event causes the contextmenustrip to go away. The problem is the contextmenustrip must stay shown. I solved the issue with contextmenustrip.show on the end of the event, this works but this has one big disadvantage. I loose all information about the sourcecontrol of the contextmenustrip, and this can't happen.A monthcalendar lets the contextmenustrip stay after his event, but a monthcalendar is too big what cause my menu to be clumsy.
