My code:

How do I make it so it does it like this: pl1.Show, pl2-9.Hide. If that isn't possible, what's the best solution to neaten the code?
A while back I made a brickbreaker game with out the bricks. Its a picturebox bouncing on the sides of the form and the whole goal is to keep it from hitting the bottom of the form. Now I'm fed up with that, I want to further myself by adding bricks that I can break and keep score. I have something I came up with, but it will only add 1 picturebox.
Dim pb As New PictureBox
Dim locX As Integer = 75
Dim locY As Integer = 100
[Code].....
I did wrap a try/catch inside the do until. My plan is to add one row, then reset my locX, finally move to a different row(locY) and do the same thing.
I nedd to find a time saving way to controll multiple pictureboxes at once, sometimes 25-50 at once. They are numbered in consecutive order, PictureBox1, PictureBox2, ect. there are over 700 of them in this matrix. Is ther a shorter way of coding their hide, or show function? This is the only way I have to do it.

how to move 5 picture boxes at the same time. Like making them bounce on the walls of the form and each other.
Here is my Code
Public Class Form2
Dim xSpeed, ySpeed As Integer
Dim iClicks As Integer
[Code]....
The problem is that the picture boxes do move but, they move at the same time. For example if Pb1 hits the left side of the form all of the other Picture Boxes will to.
I have multiple pictureboxes, is there a way to assign the same event and code once for all the pictureboxes ?
View 5 RepliesI recently posted a problem with a game that I am making, I have worked on it but have become stuck. I am having trouble with creating an object from my class what I need to do is apply this class to multiple picture boxes so that I can have them moving on screen at the same time. I am unsure on whether or not I have set up the class correctly and am unsure on how to apply it to multiple picture boxes.
This is the class:
Public Class enemycar

I create multiple dynamic pictureboxes and it are to many to add them all manually, is there a way I can e.g. use an integer which adds up every time a new picturebox is made. Then I want to add the same code to every picturebox. Now it creates the picturebox and moves it to the next spot and doesn't create a second. I am using this code if its helpfull:

Using the code below I can create multiple pictureboxes dynamically on a form. What I can't figure out how to do is determine when the user selects one by clicking on it. If I use mousedown events I have to hard code in the subroutine the name of the picturebox, which I don't know until the user selects it.
Private
Sub AddNewPictureToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal
sender As System.Object,

Is it possible to modify this section of code to select multiple instances of pictureboxes, so that I can drag them all together. At the moment I have to do one at a time, and when there's more than half a dozen, its a bit tedious. I've added the Control key to distinguish it from single drag'n'Drop, but.
'using Left mousebutton and Control to multi drag & drop
e.Button = MouseButtons.Left And My.Computer.Keyboard.CtrlKeyDown Then
newPictureBox = DirectCast(sender, PictureBox)

I wonder how you can make a picturebox selectable at runtime and also change the size and location during runtime?
Well I know how i can change the location of a picture box during runtime but that is only with a picturebox that is already defined in the form before runtime.
So I write an event for that particular Picturebox.
But now i want to do the same thing with a picturebox that a user can add during runtime and then the user should be able to select and move the picturebox.
So now i can't add code to the picturebox event so I wonder how you should do this. ( Maybe with reflection?)
And what if the user added 10 picture boxes and selects a certain picturebox. How do you make it possible that the picturebox the user clicks on is selected?
Should you store each picture box location on the Panel and then when the user clicks on a certain pixel in the panel where a certain picture box is it get's selected?
I have this code. credits to jmchiney. My goal is when I press a certain key, the picturebox corresponding to that key should be moved to a certain location. Exactly like in the text twist game.
I have a code running and doing what I want but It is only applicable for single letter. For example the word alabama. all letters without duplicates are placed properly but for letter a, only one letter a is being accepted and moved. that goes for all letters.
Here is the
Dim pb As New PictureBox
Select Case (e.KeyChar)
Case CChar(letterPicbox1.Tag)
[Code].....
Another one. when a certain letter is already placed to the location I set and once I press again the same letter, the location changes. What I want is when I already gave pictureboxA a location and then I press "a" which correspond to pictureboxA again it should be stationary and check if there are other letter "a" in my pictureboxes and move the next detected letter "a" to the next position. Like i said. just like text twist game.
I have a VB2005 project that displays 16 pictureboxes in a 4x4 grid which display CD album covers. In VB6 I could set up a control array i.e. picCD(0) to picCD(15), which made drawing the CD covers a snap. How do I accomplish this in VB2005?
It seems extremely cumbersome to have code like: If Len(path(0)) < 1 Then
If Not IsNothing(PictureBox1.Image) Then
PictureBox1.Image.Dispose()
PictureBox1.Image = Nothing
End If

I am developing an application with multiple picture boxes, each displaying a line graph. I want to be able to have a label following the mousepointer showing xy coordinates of the point. I also want to allow a user to zoom in on a specific picture box by double clicking on it. The code does what I want as written (changes backcolor so I know double click event fires) except moving the position of the label to follow the mouse pointer.
However if if uncomment the line in the MouseMoved sub:
LB.Location = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
Then the label moves as desired however the double click event no longer fires.
Public Class Form1
Dim PB As New PictureBox, LB As New Label
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I am developing a Blackjack game in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008. I have Picture boxes to display the players cards. The issue I have is that when the player chooses to hit , the third card stacks properly over the first two, but on the forth hit,the picturebox(which contains the forth card) appears under the third card. The same happens for the fourth , fifth, and sixth card . I have looked at the properties for the picturebox hoping there was some kind of index (similiar to zindex in css) to order the cards so they would would "stack" on top of one another but leaving the numbers of the cards visible, to no avail as I am here posting I have a screenie of the situation to better illuminate my struggle.
If you look at the picturebox with the 8 of diamonds card in it , everything is fine, but you will notice that the 10, 4, and 8 of clubs is underneath. I would like these cards to stack as the 4 of clubs, the 9 of diamonds and the 8 of diamond did.
