Assign A Button To Let A Resource ( JPEG Image ) Become The Background Of The Form?
Jan 16, 2010
I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:
Public Class Choose_Background
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.BackgroundImage = My_Project.My.Resources.african_lion
So i am converting a metafile (EMF to be exact) to a jpeg or gif (doesn't matter as long as it's compatible with browsers) and when I do the conversion, all of the transparent pixels turn black. I have no idea how to do this in GDI+ but here is the method I am using to save the file:
Dim Img As System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile = New System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile(stream) Img.Save(Server.MapPath("/FileName.gif"), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif)
i want to know, which way program runs faster1- add image to button through its property -> assign image from project resource file2- on form load event, assign images to buttons, from project resource file
Is it possible to set an IMAGE or BackgroundImage for a button from an online resource such as a [url].... file in any way at all . I would like to do something like this in a WINDOWS FORMs based application.>>
How do I set button1.image to the image resource named in a string? if my_string = "image1" then button1.image = my.resources.image1 else if my_string = "image2" then button1.image = "image2" ... else if my_string = "image30" then button1.image = "image30" end if Is there an easier way to do this?
I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?
Although my code compiles, it does not result in a change of the background picture of button1 here is my current code. Is it possible that my condition contains some error? or is the command itself wrong? [code]
I have a funny one. I have create a form and placed some buttons on it. I placed a background image on some of them. They show perfectly. NOW.. i tried to add a new button with a background image on it. The button shows and works fine, but the image is not display. I even tried coping one of the exsisting buttons.. the same.I placed a pictureBox on with a background image..
I have a tab control that I would like to set the background image of each button's interface to the same image. I set the color to transparency and set the background image, but the background image only works on one button's interface.
I am new to visual basic and wondering on how to assign an access key to the close button in my form. It is in VB2010 and wanted to have an access key like x on the keyboard.
I've been making this BlackJack program for a school project
I have 52 image files, labelled from '_1' to '_52' in my resources folder, each number corresponds to a card.
My question is, how do I get a picture box to assign the correct resource according to a variable
So, say I have
"pictDealerCard1" -> picture box which displays the first of the dealers card DealerCard1 = 37 -> random number generated through INT(RND() * 52) and resource '_37'
I have a 18kb 1024 x768 jpeg image that is set as background image of my form. The problem is the form now lags like crazy. How can I eliminate the lag?
How do I change the Background Image of a form ? not with the properties I know how to do it from there I guess . but I want to change it with coding .How do I do that ?
edit : and another thing when I try to add an image to a image box it shows me the image error image. you know when it can't load the image. it actually showed it for 1 second and then it disappear .here is the code for the Image box
I added an image as the background image for a form in VB.net. When I run the program, after approx. 5-6 seconds, the image partially overlays itself, as in an offset overlay of the underlying image. I never had this problem in VB6, but I did have it the other time I used a background image on a form in VB.Net.
how i can refresh my main form background image once a user picks a different image as the background.I have 2 forms namely Form1 (main form) and form2 from where the user can select the image he or she would like to set as the background image of form1.But the problem is that after selecting the image file from form2,when form1 is opened the background image doesnt change and remains the same as before.Only when the user ends the program and re-runs it again the image changes.
Basically I'm trying to make a layout change on a form if a link label is pressed. My main form I want this on has a "default" layout with a background image in place. What I want to do is, name the link label "Plain Layout". When the link label is clicked, remove or "hide" the background image and replace it with the background color of "control". After this action is performed, I need the text to change back to "Default Layout" and "show" the image.
I am already familliar with applying an image to a form background. My application has many in it, but I want to give the user the option of browsing for an image of their own to apply to a form. I don't intend to save the images as defaults or anything. Just the option to browse and apply to a form.
