View 3 RepliesDon't know how to copy images to resources file on VB and create background change button. I am trying to add my graphics folder to the resources folder in my project but I get some kind of error. That's the easy question. Now, I have a panel container in which I want to show an image that will be change about 5 times when I click on my background change button. What codes do I need to use for this?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a program where I've got a WebBrowser control that displays an HTML file from my 'Resources' folder. Like so... WebBrowser1.DocumentText = My.Resources.MyHTMLFile That displays the text from the HTML file just fine, but it does not display the CSS styles or images that the HTML file uses (even though I've added the CSS file and images to the 'Resources' folder as well).

I've been coding using vb.net for a while but I've been using imageLocation property to set an image for a picturebox or for the background image of a form. How do I use those images in my Resources Folder in my solution explorer to set an image for a certain picturebox or form. I sorta need a code for it.

View 1 RepliesI have added a .png to my project (in solution explorer). Now all I need to do is simply point a picturebox at this resource and display it.
I'm obviously missing something quite primitive! I assume that would be classed as a 'resource' ? I don't want to load images from file paths, it just makes it messy for the user + they could technically change what is displayed within the program.
I am currently working on a project that contains a few images, that are placed in a lot of different controls. I was wondering, is it possible to rename those few resources images , ex. image1 name is bg, and when i click a button to rename that image to bg2 and rename bg2 to bg.. something similar to an image swap, just done by renaming resources. I will wait for a few suggestion, but if all lead to the same possibility, which I hope is not "no, you can not", than my time is narrowed down for better use, other than changing each control's image manually..
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to populate a set of 9 PicturBoxes with images selected at random from a set of 54 held in Resources. The random selection poses no problem but getting the images to display is proving troublesome. My initial problem was that I can't just use a string variable to identify the image in VB.NET.
However, Deepak Sakpal has given a good pointer in answer to another post which looks good. The code runs ok and completes without any runtime errors, but sadly it displays no images. All (54) images have their Build Action selected to Embedded Resource, the image name concatenates correctly.
Private Sub Button2_Click() Handles Button2.Click

I have about 10 .png images in my.resources that I want to show in a Combobox, without any text. They're all slightly different sizes, so want them scaled to 40 pixels high x whatever the scaled width is.
When the end user selects an image in the Combobox, I want to store which of the my.resources items was selected to be saved so that I can then use it later on (for example, I want to save the value in my.settings, so that I can repopulate the combo box with the chosen image on next load).
I know how to load images into a combobox, but am having problems with the scaling - I also can't figure out how to load images from my.resources (it's easy with an imagelist, but how do I do it from my.resources?), or how to reference the selected resource for later use.
I placed some images in my Resources directory, how can i load this using a picturebox? PictureBox1.BackgroundImage =?
View 1 RepliesI want to use the image.source property to reference or retrieve .jpg images from the Resource file at runtime so I can dispay them in an image control, but seem to be failing. The images are now in the Resources file. I use vb.net in WPF. I know how to reference them in a folder but this proves to be inconvenient.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to use a combobox that when a user selects an item than that particular item (image) is drawn on the form.
View 4 RepliesOk, here's my problem. I already understand referencing a image using My.Resources.(Image name), But this won't work for my current situation, because the image name is in a string so I can't Hard-Code it into the program. IE. The file name is found by doing the statement:Filename = "_" + poke + "_"
Where poke is as string that contains the name of the file. The normal way to call this would be to use My.Resources._(contents of poke)_ but that doesn't work since i can't just inject the contents of poke into the line without making the entire thing a string, and by making it a string that command doesn't work normally.
I just can't seem to find a guide anywhere that talks about this, and I've been stuck on this for quite some time now. I've been able to reference XML's that are included the same way as the images using My.Resources.Resourcemanager.Geobject but this doesn't seem to work for the Images, and I haven't found any other way.
I'm really really rusty/rubbish at this, but I have a series of 11 bitmaps in my resources folder.
I'd like, each time I click a button, a different image loads in sequence into a picture box. How do I do this. I know I've got to some array which loads the images, and a loop to increment through the array, but I can't put it together with the resources folder and the PictureBox control.
I sort of got something like this:
Private
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal
sender As System.Object,

I need to be able to update an imagebox with a image in my resources folder.I was able to fix this by doing imagebox.image = my.resources._myimage()
View 4 RepliesI am working on a project where my forms resize to fill the users screen (which means they have different dimensions depending on screen resolution).I have made some vector images (.eps) in hopes of using them on my forms so that when the form opens the images always look clear, crisp, and not skewed.I am finding that vb.net will not let me import a .eps file into my resources. Is there a way around this? Is there another way to get a vector image into vb? possibly an SDK that will allow me to work with .eps files the same way i work with .dcm images?
View 8 RepliesI am building a windows application with different languages, when I change the language of a form visual basic will create a new form for me which i can change the settings for my new language and all was working fine, but recently i recognized that the images i am changing in the other language form is changing the images in the default language form, so i need to create two Resources Folders for images and manaully tells the application which folder to use.
View 3 RepliesRecently I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio 2008. Before that, Visual Studio compress images that I put in the Resources folder. In this folder I put images in PNG format for use in the project. When I was compiling the project, the executable was of a size much smaller than the sum of the bytes of the images as they were compressing in the compilation. The sum of the size of the images gives a 47MB, and the file compiled with the images was around 3.5 MB. But now the images are not compressed. For the resulting executable with the build is about 48 MB ... I'm deducing the problem is because the images were not compressed ...is it so?

Then skips straight to the Else without performing the two lines in between, regardless of whether the item was checked or not checked. It doesn't crash, doesn't throw any errors, so I am assuming I coded this wrong somehow.

Has anyone else had this problem in VB.Net (I'm using VS 2008)?Basically I have several panels in a form, and the form has one background image (a gradient) while the panels have a different background image for themselves. Now, when I place a couple of labels and a button in the panels, and set the background of the labels to transparent (so that the background image of the panel is shown as the background of the labels in question) while running the application the form and panels kind of "flash" (a very short and fast white flash, like from a camera) the whole window for a couple of seconds (continuously), after which they do several refreshes of their text and background.
The problem only happens in Vista and Windows 7, XP seems to be not affected. Is this fixable? I thought it may be a problem with my display drivers (as it's not happening in my XP installation), but I saw the same problem happen on a video review of my application at CNET, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with the GUI?
Im trying to place 63 squire images on my forms background with a keystroke. I need to be able to set the location of each image i have( they are all in my resources) Is there any easy way to do this? Or any way to do this at all? I need them placed on my forms background because i would like to add a second layer of simi-transparent images over top using pictureboxes.
View 1 RepliesWhen 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?

View 2 RepliesI have a form that scales a background image. The form is painted 30 times a second (using Invalidate so it redraws the whole background image). When the window size is less than half my screen (1366x768), Task Manager reports that the program's CPU usage is 00. If I increase this a few pixels in width, all of a sudden the CPU usage jumps up to 50+. I can get up to about 606000 pixels in the client rectangle before it starts exhibiting this behavior
