edit : and another thing when I try to add an image to a image box it shows me the image error image. you know when it can't load the image. it actually showed it for 1 second and then it disappear .here is the code for the Image box
ptbplayer.ImageLocation = CurDir() & "Images/player.jpg"
I used a custom form in visual studio. I had set the parent form for mdicontainer as true. When I try to load the childform and the code is form2.show then my design for a custom form image is working but when I add the code:
form2.show form2.mdiparent = mdiparent it won't.
I had set the transparency as = red
backgroundcolor = red
formstyle = none
backgroundimagestyle = none
Everything works fine using a .gif image custom form image but when I put a code "mdiparent" it won't. It is important to put "form2.mdiparent=mdiparent" so that when I clicked the background image which is the "form1" or the parent form the form2 will not go to the back page of form1. It is possible to disable the click event of form1 so that when I clicked it the form2 will not go to its back.
Okay so I'm making an on screen keyboard, and was wondering - when I click something in the background, my form stays on top, how can this be accomplished? Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a simply bouncy ball application in VB net; I am using a timer and the FillEllipse() method to try ad create a new circle at every tick of the timer.
Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim Gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
Gr.FillEllipse(Brushes.Teal, X, Y, W, H)
CollisionDetect()
X = X + X_Dir
Y = Y + Y_Dir
Gr.Dispose()
End Sub
The result? The form continously draws onto itself, without clearing the last circle. This means that you end up with a 'line' of spheres together.
To clarify:
X is well, the X-Coords
Y is Y- Y-Coords
X_Dir is an integer, it is added to every iteration of the loop so the next time the loop iterates, it'll be at a different location;
Y_Dir is the same but for the Y Coords;
CollisionDetect() Is empty. It is yet to be filled, it will handle the collision with the sides of the forms. W, H are width and height, respectively.
I would like to have two different colors that transition into each other.

View 7 RepliesI seem to be having an issue with my form's background overlapping.I have two forms. One form is called the "mainscreen" and the other form is a small bar at the bottom of the mainscreen form, which shows different labels on a set timer interval.Anyway, the mainscreen will soon have a system in which it also runs different screens on a set interval. However, I seem to be having issues with the mainscreen already. I have set it to load a background image, using this code:
Code:
Me.BackgroundImage = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(My.Resources.image1)

View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a simple VB 2008 application with a resizable form that has a transparent background. Seems easy enough to do, but if I do nothing more than create a new Windows form project with one form, set the transparency key on the form to a colour, and then set the background to the same colour, and then run it, after about 3-5 resize operations, I cannot resize the form anymore, except from the top, if even then. No errors, just odd behaviour.

View 3 RepliesI have an app that uses transparency so that the background of the app is a custom shape.The problem I am having is the rounded corners are jagged. Not a nice clean rounded corner like you would see on an icon or widget. I have tried several different image types (i.e. PNG, GIF, etc). But it seems when I use the transparency Key the quality on the edges gets worse
View 6 RepliesI've just recently figured out threading, and how to use it. I was even able to figure how to make a background thread modify the text property of any form control that has a text property.
I figured if you could specify the name of the control whose Text property you want to modify, it could be done easily, and I was right[code]...
Is there a way that you could do this, but eliminate the need to specify the control type as a parameter and maybe have the application determine what control you're trying to use by it's name?
