To .NET after getting tired of using VB6 due to the lack of functionality. I'm trying to create a log on method for a system which will involve users selecting a colour from a paint panel and then placing/drawing the colour in 1 or more tiles of a grid, basically a 3x3 grid in which for example they selected the blue colour and drew in the top left tile and the bottom left tile. The logon is selecting the correct colour and placing the colour in the appropriate tile. What i want them to be able to do is place even a single pixel of colour so it has a high accuracy. So far i have a timer which loops from the width of the grid to the height of the grid.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim BMP As New Drawing.Bitmap(1, 1)
Dim GFX As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(BMP)
GFX.CopyFromScreen(New Drawing.Point(MousePosition.X, MousePosition.Y), _
[CODE]...
To start with i have just hard coded the colour i want it to detect. At present it produces an error. Parameter must be positive and < Width the error is on System.Drawing.Point(i,j). If i place the mouse over the colour then run the program it will say it has been found, but otherwise it wont find the colour. I believe i am not updating the location of the pixel or something to that effect.

I've got a combobox which loads the system colour list, the selected colour is stored in the registry (i've tried storing the index number value aswell as the colour name - how can i get the combobox to display the stored colour as the default colour when the form loads? It always defaults to the first item in the colour list I've tried

So I have got a program with a timer on, a few labels displaying coordinates, and two buttons. Here is my
[code]...
It displays the color of the pixel at the coordinate typed into the text boxes.I have a video of a tennis ball which is bouncing on the spot, and the background in brown, so when the tennis ball comes into view there is a significant color change and i want it to start and stop a timer each time the colour changes significantly.So my question is, how do i get it to check whether the colour chas changed significantly?

I'd like to replace all the white pixels in a bitmap image with pixels of the colour "Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MenuHighlight)". Is there some method in the Image, Bitmap or Graphics classes I can use, or will I simply have to inspect each pixel in the image with GetPixel, check whether it is a white pixel, and then set it with SetPixel?Here is the code I am using now:
Private Shared Sub highlight(ByVal b As Bitmap)
Dim highlightColour As Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MenuHighlight)
Dim whiteARGB As Long = Color.White.ToArgb

I have created a program that Draw a circle and then you can move it around a picturebox. I have made code so that it changes colour but instead of changing the colour of the circle already been drawn it creates a new circle which when you overlap the original circle with the new circle it cuts part of it.So what I wanted it to do when I change the colour of the circle it changes the colour of the circle already been drawn instead of creating a new circle.
[Code]...
Also I can't use the X and Y coordinate input to move the circle to the entered coordinates.

I'm trying to make a text editor, and I want to make it highlight different syntax in different colours.
E.g. when the user types in <html> I want that to appear in red.
How exactly would you go around doing this?
For a better visualisation, this is what I have so far:
From the properties pane of VB.net, I can only change the whole TextBox's font colour.

Is there a way to animate a TextBlock's colour change?
At the moment I am basically using the enter/leave events to change the colour and I would like to a almost like a fade (but a fast fade, so .1/.2 secs) to give it a nicer visual appearance instead of being instantaneous.
ps. Due to constraints, the actual code is vb.net but I will accept c#.net answers as I can read both fine. Just learning WPF.

I am working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case colours
Case Is = "Red"
txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red
[Code] .....
It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.

How do you change the colour of the labels(not sure what the correct name is) in a Microsoft Chart Control in VB.
By "labels" I mean the text that is overlaid on every column in a StackedColumn chart.
You can change the Axis labels with the following:
<AxisY LineColor="Red">
<LabelStyle ForeColor="Red" />
</AxisY>
[Code].....
What is the equivalent to target the labels?
