Change Background Images Of Buttons In VB During Runtime?
Jun 4, 2011
When 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?
My app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.

Just a quick question, using Visual Basic 2008, is there a way to change the text of a forms buttons and other objects during runtime so that the text sticks no matter if the form is closed and reopened or not? I can get the text to change, but after closing the window and reopening, the text resets. Is this possible?

Don'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?
The idea is to scan a folder of images and then let the user navigate back and forth through the images using a couple of buttons.The problem is, I can only get it to return a single image, and not the whole lot. It's looks to me as though the images are getting assigned to the same index in the array. [code]
How can I create a gradient background for my form and text without using any images and how can I add multiple images in same form background in VB.NET?
I know it is not vb question but I was wondering if there is any place to get the common images for buttons (like save, clear, find, new , delete etc...)
I want to use an image to some buttons . I know I can set the Image property and select an image file . My problem , however , has to do with the fact that the image in the file is always shown inside a gray contour . I mean the image itself (i.e. an exclamation mark) is shown correctly , but though around it there is nothing (not even a gray surface - just nothing) the image is displayed with gray color filing everything else . Back in VB6 I had no such problem ... I could simply select my image and it was shown correctly .
based on the code that jmcilhinney made this show all images found in the My Pictures Folder..Now, can someone give code on how could this applied with fade effect when changing the images from one to another..

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.
I'm doing a project using VB 2005 Images of the application simulates using an accelermoet. However, right now, i need to create 4 buttons to simulate the diagonal position of the image.Right now, the accelerometer can move the image in 4 directions (mainly left, right , Up, Down).The 4 buttons mention, is in diagonal position( 45 degree Leftup, 45 degree Leftdown, 45 degreeRightu, 45 degree RightUp, 45 degree RightDown).I need to do it the way in which when my image is moved using the accelerometer, and once when i hit any of the 4 buttons, the image move accordingly. And when i use the accelerometer again to simulate, it also move.[code]
How can i make a button flick from image to image from my resources rather that use a "backcolour" I got this code off "Bruce Fox" to make it flick from red to black.Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Is it possible to have the background see through yet the buttons etc full color?IE when I set the Opacity for 20% everything on the form is affected. Can I stop this or have do the same thing a different way where my buttons and still clear?
I am using several instances of a panel object I am creating.I would like to be able to draw a diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left corner of some of the instances.I have been able to create the panel with a background image that has a white line on a transparent background, and I can switch it on and off, but I would like the line to have the active text color.How can I make an image object that uses the system palette?
I do have the User Control from a previous Visual Basic 6.0 project that allows certain colors to become transparent. But what I'd like to find out is, how can I make a certain color combination transparent using a User Control in Visual Basic 2008 Express?
I 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
What would be the best and easiest way to change background image in a VB application from images that are preselected by user from any given folder on the hard disk.
So say "Mike" selects some images in D:ImagesNature in the Nature folder we have lets say "20" images. Now the VB app reads this and saves path so next time its open its fetching images from that folder once more. And every few sec lets say 45 sec a new image is loaded for background.
Me again, today I would like to know how to get buttons with images on them and make them look a bit nicer, like so.....Instead of the ugly ones that I'm forced to use...
I have one button and one image list on my form. I need to set the background of button at runtime. But even at design time, when i give it through Imagelist, it blurs the image, and not showing it properly. If I assign that image as background image in design, without assigning the imagelist to button, it works fine. Here is the code for
I've got this code ToolStripTextBox1.ProgrammeTemplatesToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(btn) ToolStripTextBox1.TS.Visible = True How to save this button so that when the program runs again, it's still there?
I want to place a few buttons on my form. The number is unknown at design time. Actually each button will represent an item entered in combo box. So if user adds an item, a button on the form should be added by the code.
