VS 2010 Place Drawing Logic On Form Or Within Object To Be Drawn?

Sep 10, 2010

I am working on a snake game for my portfolio and was wondering where the best place to put the logic for drawing the snake. Should the code reside within the snake object or within the form? Either would work, but I am wondering from a business objects/coding standard perspective where such code belongs.

CustomGroupBox Drawing - Get The Text Drawn After The Control's OnPaint

Sep 2, 2010

I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?

Custom ListViewGroup Drawing - Place An Icon Just Before The Group Text

Jan 20, 2010

So I've created a custom ListView by inheriting it and overriding the OnDrawSubItem(). I can now draw icons in several of the columns. It's pretty nice! My question is, is there anyway to do this for the ListViewGroup? I'd like to place an icon just before the group text.

How To Clear Drawn Text Before Drawing A New Text

Dec 1, 2010

I'm looking to see if a little more control is possible though. cpustring = string and fontstring = font, both defined earlier in the program.I'm not sure how to clear the drawn text before drawing a new text. I tried with g.clear(color.transparent), but that creates an ugly flickering background for the picturebox (the picturebox is already set to transparent background).I'd also like to be able to fit the text in the picturebox area, max width/height as defined by picturebox, not by fontsize. Font can stretch either way as long as it fills in the picturebox.

Logic For Checking A Boolean Of An Object?

Mar 7, 2012

I have a hashset (of posdata), pos data containing a boolean and a label containing the hashkey. I need to draw up a condtion where it will check that if a boolean for two or three different records does not equal to false. And if the condition is true i want to set the boolean of the two or three records to false. Here is an attempt,

ElseIf (position.strLabel = "b2" And position.blnAvail <> False) And (position.strLabel = "b1" And position.blnAvail <> False) And (position.strLabel = "e1" And position.blnAvail <> False) Then

GDI: Make Drawn Object Move And Follow Path/Points At Constant Speed?

Nov 13, 2011

I've come across a very basic problem which I'm sure has a basic answer.Forgive me but I haven't programmed in years and this just a hobby of mine..My problem is that I need a drawn object (say an ellipse) to move to the cursors location when I click. Imagine an adventure quest style game where you view your character in birds eye view, and it moves according to where you click on the map.I can draw the image fine, and move the image around fine - it's more so the formula I'm using which I'm a little stumped on.I have certain requirements though.

1. I need a timer that constantly updates the drawn object's (lets say character from now on) location. Each tick will essentially be the character taking 1 step towards the cursor's location.2. At the end of each tick of the timer, it'll will invalidate the form/control to invoke the paint event, and of course, the objects location will be be updated.It sounded simple enough to create a linear equation based on the objects original location and the location of the cursor when I click.However, that will not give it a fixed speed.If say for example, the gradient (rise/run) between the cursor location and objects location is very steep, the object's y-velocity will be greater than that of the x-velocity

Winforms - Load System.Drawing V4.0.0.0 On A Windows Form In Visual Studio 2010?

Mar 4, 2012

I've decided to learn Visual Basic .Net as this is what some of my colleagues work with, and this will allow me to work with them on projects.I have purchased Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step and downloaded the sample files. When I am trying to debug the first sample application (a Windows form), it is telling me that it can't load System.Drawing V4.0.0.0. However, if I create a new Windows Form application (C# or VB.Net) this works fine.

I had a look at the References tab in the project settings and System.Windows.Forms is referenced, but the version referenced is 2.0.0.0. I have removed and re-added this reference and it stays at 2.0.0.0 and I still get the error.Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be going on?

Drawing On Picturebox Vs Drawing On Form?

Feb 18, 2012

I need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.

Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.

Here's the original code that works fine on a form:

Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False

VS 2010 - Drawn Paths Will Not Go Away

May 12, 2010

I have this code for drawing a path.
Dim map As New Bitmap(l1.Size.Width, l1.Size.Height, l1.CreateGraphics)
Dim nextPoint As Point
Using g As Drawing.Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(map)
Dim dPath As New Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
For i As Integer = 0 To path.Count - 1
[Code] .....

l1 is a Label. When I call this it draws the path fine, but when I call it again it draws another path but doesn't get rid of the first path. Basically, I only want one path on the Label at a time.

Drawn Lines Do Not Remain On Form

Apr 15, 2010

I am drawing lines on a picturebox - not in the paint event. I realise that if I resize the PictureBox the lines won't be redrawn - but the PictureBox is fixed. If I display a MessageBox at the end of my draws the lines do not remain on the screen. This was OK with VB 6.0. Hoe can I stop them being erased?

Old Graphics Still Drawn On Form Resize

I'm creating a custom form that is composed of a inner stroke, outer stroke, and rounded rectangular background. When the form is initially drawn its drawn fine without errors but once i re size it, the old form is still drawn and the new form is drawn below it but once i minimize the form and restore it, it goes back to normal (only the new form is being drawn).

VS 2010 Program Logic To Speed Up Processing

Mar 29, 2011

I have setup an application to parse about 3000 files a day where each contains around 4000-5000 posts in xml format with like 100 fields. It involves a lot of cleanup and parsing but on average it takes around 6 seconds per post. Now I tried threading but because of the way I have everything set up with variables being overwritten etc...I have divided the files into different folders and just created copies of the program to run and access the assigned folder. It is running on a windows 2008 server with 16 G of memory and I am told I need to reprogram to speed up the process and also not use so much memory.

Floodfill With A System.Drawing.Graphics() Object

Jun 7, 2011

I need to make a basic drawing program in VB that can do three things:

"Draw" with a brush of some sort
Clear the screen
Perform a flood-fill (paintbucket action)

I decided to do the first two tasks first, and got them to work, but the third task completely eludes me. Every way I try seems to pile on exceptions, and every flood-fill algorithm I find seems to require a bitmap, rather than a Graphics() object. Is there any way to accomplish a flood-fill using a Graphics object, or must I restart the project using a bitmap?

MS Visio has exactly this ability - can it be done in .NET?

VS 2010 - BackgroundWorker Class Logic Ends Abruptly

Oct 8, 2010

I am trying to create a tool which executes some oracle procedures and telnet commands. Besides this Job my tool also needs to update a counter in some table in oracle db at regular intervals(10 secs as per current settings). So I used backgroundworker class in VB.NET to implement this back ground job of updating the counter. My problem is I have put logs at every possible exit of the backgroundworker_dowork functions but still this logic stops working after some time --7-8 hours. I am not able to understand when/where/why/how is it stopping? I am saying logic has stopped because it stops incrementing the counter. And am saying it is exiting abruptly because in _RunWorkerCompleted, I have written a log and closed the application but nothing comes in the log and application is not exiting.

Private Sub backlogicthread_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles backlogicthread.DoWork

After Drawing To Graphics Object, Results Won't Paint Properly?

May 29, 2009

This little experiment was a test prompted by a previous thread to learn to work in a graphics object, then paint everything later to a picturebox (later, will be looking at building own custom control for the display), and save out the bitmap to a file on the HD.But weird things happen here. Nothing will display in the picturebox, and the saved bitmap is just a black box.The only partial success I had was replacing: e.Graphics.DrawImage(MyBitmap, 0, 0)

with,
PictureBox1.image = MyBitmap

inside the paint event handler, but that caused infinite recursion of the paint event. But at least I could see parts of the graphic for a fraction of a second before it was wiped clean, every time I clicked the "Go_cmd" button. But what is weird is that this partial success showed that the graphics object was copying successfully over to the bitmap image (because I could briefly see parts of it in the picturebox, but the saved file would still come out black, even though it was based on the same bitmap!The code is as follows.Above the form1 class

Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
The single declaration:

Public MyBitmap As Bitmap
The form_load procedure:[ code].....

The code in the version shown above would not even show a brief moment of the graphics in the picturebox, and the saved .bmp file is just a filled black box.
