Displaying A Series Of Images At Specified Time Interval?
Mar 12, 2012
I am using Visual Basic 2008 for a Windows Form application. I have a PictureBox on the form that I need to display a series of 12 JPG files, one every four seconds. For the life of me, I cannot seem to figure out how to get the Timer control and its Click event to work.
In pseudo code, I need something as simple as the following:
1. show JPG #1 in picture box
2. 4 second delay
3. show JPG #2 in picture box
4. 4 second delay
etc.
I have a Timer on the Form set with Interval = 4000. I have a PictureBox. I have all the images in the Project. I am embarrassed to say that I have spent 4-5 hours searching the Web for sample code or something helpful, but am still stuck.
All the elements are there. It's just a matter of understanding how to pause the image displayed in the picturebox for 4 seconds before moving onto the next image in the series.

There is an IP web camera that I wrote a .NET class for sometime ago. It's basically a Timer implementation that pings a snapshot CGI script from the camera every five seconds. The camera itself is very rudamentary; it does not have any sort of API for me to work with, the only thing I can do programmatically (remotely) is invoke this script. The script returns a 640x480 JPEG image. Simple.
Now what I need to be able to do is take a days worth of these images, and create a "time lapse" AVI video stream out of it that will eventually be embedded into a web page. How can I do this with VB.NET?

I must have that at the end of a timer to be displayed every 2 seconds a series of images one after the other why using Threading.Thread.Sleep (2000)does not make me see the images and text on the label does not load?

What would be the best way to run a subroutine over and over again every X seconds. I want to avoid creating an infinite while loop to do this because this sub needs to be called repeatedly while the rest of the program is still active and responding.

How can I extract the interval time into minutes and second. I can set the interval where 1000 is a second. I don't know how to capture and display in a textbox seconds or minutes counting down or up.

I have this code in one button:
For Each x In ListBox1.Items
Label1.Text = "Status: Loading IMDB page..."
Dim str As String = x
Dim MOVIESNAME = str.Substring(str.IndexOf(""c) + 8)
[Code] .....
Is there an option to set a time interval between each check? Because it will load the page (it's not google, it's my personal website with some information needed) and it need to be fully loaded till it gets the information then it would do another check for another listbox1 item. Like.. maybe 5 to 10 seconds is enough..
Webbrowser1
Dim strCDRack() As String
Dim cdList As String
'Dim i As Integer
cdList = WebBrowser1.DocumentText.ToString

I have a quesion about using the timer1 function. I am a complete virgin when it comes to programming, so please be kind. I have a project that is using an NCD relay controller to control linear actuators. I want one relay to turn on and then stay on for 10 seconds and then turn off. I set the timer1 properties to enable with an interval time of 10000. I am programming a button to turn on the relay then wait 10 seconds then turn the relay off. All that happens is the relay comes on then off immediatley. I have tryed to do this several different ways with the same results. It is though the timer1 is not getting recognized. So my main question is, what steps am I missing, and how do I get a delay of 10 seconds before the program recognizes the turnoffrelay command?

I'm faced with a (fun, actually) data mining problem; I have raw ASCII files from instruments, and I want to move that data (~400 GB) into a database, then be able to run various algorithms determining correlations of time series, etc. I would like to write the mining algorithms in Visual Basic (.net, VS 2010 right now), and be able to do visualizations with VB code I have in hand.On the nature of the data: think of a set of several thousand devices, each recording a measurement at a given interval - so I'm talking time-series vectors. It's not more complex than that - though I may have vectors with holes, etc. - not sure what problems of that sort lurk in the data.I spent today re-acquainting myself with VB.NET's interface to (in one case) a Microsoft Access database. What used to be fairly simple - DAO I think it was - involved tables, recordsets, etc (and that would likely be fine). Now I seem to be required to have a weird variety of generally useless objects, e.g. 'adapters', 'datasets', etc. The problem is that I know exactly what I need, and all this extraneous stuff just gets in the way (certainly in coding complexity and opaqueness, and likely in efficiency as well). If any of these mechanisms gave me a kind of virtual access to the entire dataset, and let me control caching parameters, etc.it might be great, but I found nothing along those lines. It seems like useless bloat, though I suppose it must be useful to someone.Anyway, I tried a number of different approaches, and none seemed at all aimed at what I need to do: efficiently do math on a large dataset. I can't believe I'm the first to have this problem, but I can find no useful wisdom out there. I'd be comfortable with pretty much any underlying database mechanism: MySQL, SQL Server, MS Access, but ideally something generally SQL based (I may eventually have to transition this entire system to draw from a client's SQL database, though that's not an overriding concern now). Other than that I want simplicity and efficiency. I thought my old ODBC techniques would work, and to some extent they do, though modifying tables seemed to have bizarre problems (no errors, but not modifications either).
I do have a fairly aggressive deadline to show some algorithm results, so my focus in the short term is to get something reasonable working *in* the short term - in other words, it's less important to me to pick the 'fastest' relational database than it is to pick a database that lets me focus on coding the algorithms, not working through tedious data access coding. If this db could be any smaller, I'd have tried to do it all 'in memory' at least for proving concepts; I don't want to have to learn an entire jargon and approach just to be able to retrieve data points.Perhaps I'll need to bite the bullet and just write something myself, a .dll perhaps just to save and restore large time series vectors. It seems a bit frightening to me that one would have to do this in this age, what with all the database systems out there, but I don't have much time to work through arcane interface logic.

I am making futile attempts to get the DataGridView control in a Windows Form to disply several rows of images. The images are all contained on the local disk. The names of the image files (all .JPG or .GIF files) are taken from an XML file. The XML is not the issue, since some of of the images actually appear.
The control has three DataGridViewImageColumn objects. Each column is set up to display a file called Blank.gif which is a transparent GIF containing a single pixel. Later, during the form's Load event, I replace each cell's Value property with the image that the XML file says should be in the column. The XML file contains the name of the file, and I use the System.Drawing.Image.FromFile() method to create the image object from the file name.
The behavior I am experiencing is that that only the very last row of images is properly displayed. The rows above it display the Blank.gif file as if they had never been assigned their intended images. If I change the code so that it will only iterate through three images (one row), all the images show up in the grid. If I then change the code so that six images are processed, only the second row of images is diplayed, and the first row shows only the Blank.gif file's image content. If I change the code to process nine images, the first six show up as blank, and the last three in the final row are properly displayed.
I have lost a considerable amount of my little remaining hair trying to fix this problem to no avail.
The code is as follows:
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Xml

I'm currently attempting a project where I need to display a series of images from a database, in thumbnail form, then fullscreen when they are selected. Next/Back arrows will be used to navigate through different pages of images. These images will be across a number of categories each one with a different table in the database. It is very important that the user can change the images in the database.
Rather than have a number of different pages and each image designated to a picturebox, I was wondering how I could make it so the program just displays the next 6-8 images from the database in the same picture boxes, giving a message when the it reaches EOF, This way the number and order of the pictures can be changed just by changing the database.

I have a listbox displaying information about different workstations detected on a local network. Each line in the listbox is a different device. I would like, if possible, to display images on the end of each line (A green dot for one rule, a red dot for another, etc).
I have the images of the 'dots' as very small gif files.

I need to send up to to selected images (such as an apple) to pictureboxe's on a results page. at the moment I'm using global variables to attempt to display the images like this:
Me.pbItem1.Image = New Bitmap("images\" & gstItem1 & ".jpg")
Me.pbItem2.Image = New Bitmap("images\" & gstItem2 & ".jpg")
I get a directorynotfoundexception 'Could not find a part of the path '\images\apple.jpg' error. I'm new to VB and think this must have something to do with the default path or something.

I would like to parse through and display and picture and description for each 'item' in an XML file. I can't figure out the image part, and I've only been able to concatenate the 'description' to display it:

I'm at the right elements in the tree; I can display the first picture, and I've been able to access all of the 'description' elements. But I need to have each 'item' element display together.

I'm having a problem with displaying JPEG images in a RichTextBox. When I insert a JPEG image into a RTB it automatically gets converted to a wmetafile8 and displays correctly - however, if i insert a JPEG image into file via another method (currently using the web) it get saved as a jpegblip (as you would expect) but the RTB will not display it. Opening the rtf document in Word displays the image correctly.I have tried this with png and gif files also but none of the images will display unless they are wmetafiles. Is this a limitation with the RichTextBox or is there another reason?

I've written some code to get an image file from a OpenFileDialog, and then offset the X position of the image by -50, and then display that offset image in a panel. But for some reason, it is displaying the image twice inside that panel. Could someone please tell me how to get it to only display the offset image in the panel? I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm wracking my brain with this one.
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim Bitmap As New Bitmap(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Dim Graphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(Bitmap)

I need to display images when I press a key on the keyboard. I have a form with a textbox and a label on it. When I type a letter in the textbox it appears on the label. I got that part to work. But now I want to display a image in the label when I press a key on the keyboard. I have found some images on the internet that I want to display when I press a key on the keyboard. For example when I type the letter A in the textbox instead of A appearing I want an image of an apple to appear, or if I type the letter B a banana would appear, or if I type the letter D a dog would appear. I have been searching on how to this I came across the keyboard event such as the keypress event. Can I use a keypress event of the textbox to do this. Can I assign a certain image to a certain key on the keyboard, and have that image display whenever I press that key.

I am starting to develop a card game client for a CCG a friend of mine and I are creating.
I have 2 forms Client.vb and Hand.vb linked with a module.vb
In essence when the app starts up I see the client. I can then click the "Hand" button and the Hand Window is shown as well.
What my goal is is to have it so that when i hover over the card (picturebox) in my hand form that it displays a larger image of that card in the preview box (Another picture box) In Client.vb
I have everything working except when i actually mouse over the image in the hand form it creates an error:
Error:A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in CCG 2.0.exe
The code in the mouse hover event:
Code:
F1.PictureBox2.Image = F2.PictureBox1.Image
Im Almost certain im going about this the wrong way but I cant seem to figure out any other way...
PS.I have attached an image to demonstrate what Im trying to do...
