Picturebox - Clear The Background Double Buffer Before The Flicker
Jun 10, 2011I 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?
View 3 RepliesTransparent Controls Over Form With Background Image Shows Backcolor Not Image?
Sep 18, 2009I 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?

Jun 22, 2010I added an image as the background image for a form in VB.net.

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.

Using A LinkLabel To Change Form's Background Image?
Feb 3, 2011Basically 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.

View 1 RepliesForm Box Does Not Display New Background Picture Upon Image.FromFile ?
May 2, 2010I've been trying to make an image viewer that keeps top most while I do other things (like typing, etc), so I don't have to hop windows, or sacrifice screen real estate.I made a main form, and a configuration form (opened by pressing o), with options to set the main form's opacity (working), the picture displayed (as the form's backgound picture, not working), and if the main form stays top most or not (working).
Instead, the form just keeps displaying the image I set in the IDE.I first used a picture box to display the picture, which did not work, and decided I didnt need to have a picture box if I set the picture as the form's background picture.I tried looking at what could be going wrong, but couldnt find out much more than the path is being delivered to the main form.I'm working on Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2, VS2003, and here's the code.PS The code links to a D:ath-fin.jpg that I used as the default background picture, and the code is for 2 seperate forms.

It functions fine but there is a border appearing between the tiles and I can't figure out why. The source image is 32x32 in size. Most likely it is the graphics class not measuring in pixels or something.

Jan 11, 2012I 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.

View 5 RepliesC# - Setting ShowInTaskBar = False Causes Flicker When Closing Modeless Form In .net, Winforms?
Nov 24, 2009To recreate this behaviour, you need to create a pop-up form with the following properties:
(1) ShowInTaskBar = False
(2) Display the form with the Show method and loop until the form is not Visible.
(3) In order to close the form when the mouse is clicked out of it, override OnDeactivate, and set visible to False.
Next, create another form that will display the pop-up when a button is clicked:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Syste
Using pop As New PopUp
pop.Visible = True

It also starts flickering when you resize the form, and all in all, it's not that enjoyable to use.

View 7 RepliesBackground Image Will Not Switch Back From The Plain Background Color Of "control"?
Feb 19, 2011what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
