View 2 RepliesDisplay Animated GIF In ASP.NET Page While Executing Web Service?
Feb 21, 2012I have a page that allows users to "upload" a file. The page includes an asp.net fileUpload control. However, all it does is send the byte array to a WSE 2.0 web service. I can't change this. This may be updated in the future, but for now, this is what I have to go with.The page has an animated gif that starts when the user clicks the submit button. And the page should be updated accordingly based on the result returned by the web service call. I'm able to start the gif and consume the WS successfully. However, while the page is hitting the web service, the gif file freezes.
I then tried to use a separate thread to consume the web service. This speeds up the process and does not freeze the gif, but the page is not updated when the web service completes. If I put the main thread to sleep, the page updates, but I'm back to the same issue mentioned above, where the gif freezes. I'm pretty sure I could make the call using javascript and update the page that way, but at this point, I'd really rather do it server side (out of stubbornness if nothing else).

View 2 RepliesDisplay Text In System Tray?
Jul 3, 2009I have looked on the net for demos of how to display a text message in the system tray, but all I can find are examples which say you need to use trayicons. Where you render your string into a bitmap, and then point the trayicon at the bitmap to display it.
Unfortunately this is no good for what I want to do, the trayicon is limited to only 16x16 pixels, and I want to display a longer message, which will just not fit. I can't resize the size of the icon, and if I make the source bitmap larger, it just gets scaled to fit within the 16x16 space (crushing it together into an awful mess)
So I tried using an array of trayicons and split the bitmap between them, but this also fails, because windows inserts about 3-4 pixels of padding between each tray icon.

Jun 6, 2012First part of a huge block will contain some text. That block is not always visible. it will be visible when the user is inputing a control. It is drawn in a bitmap image which will later be a part of the final image of the form.The second part consist of several small bitmap images most probably will contain a letter. These images will not change but there position will keep changing by time. These images will be free to move even beneath the huge block (If visible).I used a timer with 1 sec. interval to redraw form, but when the block is visible it keeps flickering because the timer clear the form and redraw the block.
I tried to use different container for the block like the PictureBox but when the small image goes beneath the block it just disappear.The block color code is "Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Black)" I tried lower Alpha components and that didn't make any difference.My explanation is that the background of the picturebox is not transparent. If I'm right how to make the picture box transparent?

Sep 16, 2010I have a media gallery type project I'm working on, but I want to enhance it by creating animated thumbnails to "preview" the media. I have already created code to extract 10 incremented images from a pretty much any video format. Now that I have my images, I thought the most efficient way to animate them would be through a GIF.

Create An Animated Icon To Go In The SysTray?
Oct 10, 2011Using VB2010. I want to create an animated icon to go in the SysTray, and I have created all the individual frames as .ico files. Now, I don't like hard coding file names in the code, so I created an ImageList with the .ico files, which I then want to walk through using a Timer. Now, apparently NotifyIcon doesn't accept ImageLists? I get errors when I try to use it. I searched the web, and saw a tip to instead pass the handle of the ImageList to NotifyIcon. So I did this in the timer:
Static Index As Integer = -1
Dim IconHandle As IntPtr
If Index = AnimationIcons.Images.Count - 1 Then

Picturebox Animated Gifs Causes Exception?
Mar 31, 2011I wrote a little utility that compares pictures in a directory against each other and will display them side by side in two pictureboxes so the user can weed out duplicates. Anyway, seemed to be working fine until I started testing a directory that had animated gifs in it. The gifs will start playing in the form's pictureboxes, but at random (with no action taken by user) one of them will crash and give the attached error script. The other gif will continue running, but the offending picturebox will have the unrecoverable red "x", reloading or changing images does nothing after that point for that picturebox. As part of the apparent randomness, it will happen on either picturebox and the amount of time before it happens varies and does not seem to correlate to anything. For additional confusion, I have also seen where there is no error thrown, but both picturesboxes will suddenly go to the red x in the middle of a gif.
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
