View 1 Repliesi have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMeFileName.png")
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.
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]
View 1 Repliesi am trying to create an application like a media player....Say i got an option which changes the background image of the form,like skin or something!now i want to change the mouse events when that background image is active on the form... lemme give u an example of a code...
Private Sub FireToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FireToolStripMenuItem.Click
Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Fire
TrackBar1.BackColor = Color.Yellow
End Sub
What I have done is named a bunch of picture boxes "Q," "W," "E," etc. (the whole alphabet) and named picture that correspond to these picture boxes ("Q.png," "W.png," and so on) and added them to my resources.
For example, the following code would give the picture box named "Q" it's corresponding image "Q.png":
vb
Q.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Q
Of course, it's kind of a pain in the backside to copy and paste this code and change all the Q's to W's and so on, so I was hoping to create a function to do the job for me:
vb
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'So that I can run the letter as a string through the function,

Hopefully I've provided enough detail so that it is obvious what I'm trying to do.
Obviously, the code I tried above (the second block) doesn't work - it gives a syntax error. I need to change/write to make this function functional.
Background of form: black
background of char, bombs and shrooms: transparent
picbox behind char, bombs and shrooms is regular (marioland)
How can i fix it so the transparent parts dont see form as background but marioland as background?
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?

Change Form Background With In-project-image
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 1 Replieshow 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.
I tried
Form1.reload()
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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI'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.

The way it works now is it gets the image from a picturebox and calls the following code when scrolling the mousewheel. 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.

I have a DataGridViewImageColumn that should display an image for only certain rows. After I bind a generic list of classes to my datagrid, I loop through each row and update the image cell with an image that is an embedded resource for the rows that require the image. This works great if the form has been fully loaded. However, when I attempt this on form load the image doesn't show up? I also can't perform simpler things such as changing the row background color on form load. Should I be performing this logic in a different event after form load?

Is there a way to somehow "stabilize" the background image on a form, because the way it is now, makes it almost unbearable to use background images. I have a transparent panel that has a scroll bar, and when you use the scroll bar, the background image goes all "weird". It also starts flickering when you resize the form, and all in all, it's not that enjoyable to use.
