I made a simple RPG game for my project. I used windows form application. I set the background image of my form1 to a picture that is already a map. I used picture box for the MainCharacter and set it to transparent and I also put transparent background gif images whenever the keyevents.But my problem is, sometimes when I move the picture box using the keyevents, when the picture box passes through the background that has different color, you can see the boundery of the picturebox, and sometimes it is lag and cannot display the image in the picturebox. Im gonna work hard for this because the deadline of this project is next week. I am just a newbie and not good in graphics.

I'm trying to embed a background picture into an Excel file. Assuming I have an Excel report (see f.csv) below, I open it as an Excel, embed the picture and then save.I found the following code in one of the websites.

I want to save it automatically without asking the user about it, but can't find if that's possible. below I tried "SaveAs" and "Save" but it always ask me to confirm overwriting.

I'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.

How can I programmatically reset my form background from a picture to a solid color. I have no trouble changing it to a picture or even changing it to another picture, but when I try to change it back to a solid color, it won't work.

me.backgroundimage=my.resources.dog 'OK
me.backgroundimage=(none) 'error
me.backgroundimage=my.resources.none 'error
How do I reset it back to a color? It's stuck in a picture mode.

View 3 RepliesI was wondering how I would take a SQL statement and reuse it for all users in the database. I have the code for writing to one but it contains information regarding the user so is there a way I can add all of the users to an array from the database. If so what method is used to get all of them into that array, if possible?

I'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.
