I need to draw 100 lines between 100 semi-random points in a 800x800 pixel square on the screen.
I've been using the built-in drawlines & drawrecangles functions inside of .NET, but my drawing gets erased everytime the form paints.
So, I've been thinking about perhaps drawing to an in-memory bitmap, but I'm not sure if that's a good solution.
Is there a quick way to check the color of a pixel on the screen?
View 2 RepliesHow can I find out the pixel colour of a certain point on a web browser. For instance,WebBrowser1.getPixelColor(0,0) would get the rgb colour value of pixel 0, 0.It doesn't have to be rgb it might be hsl or whatever.The web browser is showing a local web page that is hosted on a network. If there is an error then the screen goes all grey. What I want to do is, if this does happen, display an alert message like - "An error has occurred

View 2 RepliesScott Wisniewski wrote an interesting article about drawing maps with VB -[url]...
I wrote a quick question at the end of this blog in which I asked for code updates and raster (pixel) maps two months ago without having heard back.
It seems that his mapping approach deals with polygons rather than rasters (pixels). Does Scott's approach allow to build raster maps?
Does anyone know a similar article that specifically addresses raster maps?
I send a message a while ago and no one answerd, how can I draw directly on the screen (not on a specific window) just on the screen, neither if it's on the desktop or anything else.Is there is any option to bring up the switch between applications window (Alt + Tab), I don't want to use sendkeys because the user need to keep the key down and I just want the user to select the application with his mouse.

View 3 RepliesWhat I want to do is get the color of a position on the screen. I'd rather not capture the whole screen if I don't have to, just one pixel's color. I was trying to use GetPixel(ByVal hDC As IntPtr, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Integer, but I can't figure out how to get the handle to the screen.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how I would find the color of a pixle.
Say I wanted to find RGB(255, 255, 0) and get the X, Y, position of it, how would I do that?
I was thinking of a loop with BMP.GetPixel, but I wouldn't know how to check. It's not compatable with RGB.[code]...

View 4 RepliesWe stream the BBC news channel through a laptop hooked to a PC in reception for our clients. Annoyingly the stream is interrupted randomly (the line isn't dropping, it's the BBC's problem). Therefore when it's interrupted we get an error screen appearing which we have to go and manually refresh to get the stream back playing.
My intentions are to build an app which will be run alongside (silently) the stream monitoring intermittently a range of pixels. If the range matches the error screen that I mentioned previously then I'd call "Esc" to exit the full screen and then "F5" to refresh the browser and finally a double click on a specified coordinate to bring it back to full screen.
Problem: I've been doing some googling and so far have only seen related posts where the comparison is between two saved images. Due to this I expect the answer to be "Take a screenshot every now and then, compare, return result".
I'm trying to figure out some simple code to detect when a pixel changes color anywhere on the screen. Maybe with just a msgbox popup when it changes.
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to visual basic and have written this program to detect a change in a selected pixel on the screen. When the pixel changes, a sound plays every x seconds. It works fine but after a few hours of operation a possible memory leak causes it to either crash the program or the PC. I have watched the process and I can see 4k added to it every 4 seconds or so. Where this memory leak is coming from?
Here is the code:
Public Class Main
Public pointx As Long
Public pointy As Long
Public areaselected As Integer
Public TimeToPause, SecondTimer, changefound As Integer
asking something like this i know it get's asked alot but i haven't found any code for this or i didn't look good enough. My internet is super slow so it is hard to browse the net , Anyways i want to draw on the screen just like when you draw on your form with graphics how would i accomplish this ? if anyone could provide some code or a link that shows a little about it that would be great,

View 2 RepliesI've inherited a project in VB6.NET 2008. There is a Panel control where graphs are drawn along with titles, axes, legends etc. What is drawn on the panel is also printed WYSIWYG (on a print command, of course) The problem I have is that the code for printing is entirely separate to the code for drawing. I want to merge the two so that common code is used. I'd like to work in the same units for both, which means setting either the pixels per inch for the Graphics object for the printing (so I can work in pixels) or doing the equivalent of the opposite so I can work in inches (printed inches, not screen inches).
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a simple program that takes a screenshot of tab1 of the GUI, then takes a screenshot of tab2, then tab3, etc. I've got the screenshot code down pat, but the problem with my current code is that it's taking the screenshot of each tab before the screen has a chance to fully redraw, so the resulting images are screwed up.Is there a way to get the program to wait for each tab (and all the controls in it) to be fully visible before each screenshot is taken?I'd like to avoid using a timer for this, as the screen redraw speed will vary depending on the user's computer, and the contents of each tab, etc.[code]
View 2 RepliesI would like to load a GIF file, and start with the first pixel and check to see if that pixel color is closer to Black, Red, Green or Yellow, then take what ever color it closest matched to and output that color as a number, 0, 1, 2 or 3. So just for a small example a 5x4 GIF would be converted to something like this: 0112223322220111332?

during the development of my project, i've fall in the need to change the position of some forms, pixel by pixel using a timer.Now, i've checked that the movement is very fluid when form is not very heavy, when it contains few elements, but when it has a lot of elements inside, the movement becames nervous and not fluid, the movement becomes jerky.

The current problem is that in each program a user needs to be logged into to use. If the user is logged into one, and clicks a button to launch another, it should pass who is logged in so they do not need to log in again in the second program.
I have 20 PictureBoxes named PictureBox2 through to PictureBox 21, where I need to conditionally set the positon of them. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to set their positions than to copy the code out 20 times. This is what I have so far:
