I currently have a graphics object g where I am drawing lines and ellipses on with the command
g.DrawEllipse(definedPen, Fc, Fr, Tc, Tr)
g.DrawLine(definedPen, Fc, Fr, Tc, Tr)
This works fine. However what I can�t find out how to do is place text onto the graphics object at a specified row & column.
See asteriks ***below for the problems: There is text in CStr(rdrPlayers("PlayerName")) and the textbox for loop is 15 so why the extra textbox's 6 thru 15 (1 to 15 then 6 - 15 under them 6 is visable others are out of panel display I shortened my code below

I want to draw a text with 32 bit transparency on a graphics object. When I try, I only get black color in the result.
If I try to draw a line with the same semitransparent color, it works perfectly.
I have this code:
lBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
lGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(lBitmap)
lGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality

I was thinking it may be that SolidBrush does not support transparency, but I found a predefined brush named Transparent (Brushes.Transparent) that was a SolidBrush when I looked at it in debug. I tried to use Brushes.Transparent as the brush when drawing the text, and it was successfully not showing at all. That means I get full transparency to work, but not partial transparency.
I'm new to VB, now working with VB 2008 Express Edition. Was once very proficient with "procedural" languages of the 70's (eg. Fortran, COBOL, etc), but totally new to OOP and the "Visual" languages. Despite being a quick study, eloping a user interface to a USB-connected infrared remote control device. The UI's graphical element (a "virtual remote") will be a PHOTO of the IR remote control device supplied by my target-equipment's mfr, OVERLAYED with functional software control buttons in their respective positions. "Pressing" a button on the virtual remote will cause the USB device to emit the desired IR code sequence.
View 2 RepliesI am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and making a Webform. I want to arrange my labels and drop down listboxes in a table to keep them together on the form in a neatly manner. If I use the 'ToolBox' on the side and drag a HTML table to the workspace I get a nicely formatted table with 3 rows and 3 columns. And I can drag and drop my labels/listboxes into these columns and all is fine and good.
If I use the 'ToolBox' and drag a ASP.Net table to the workspace it starts as just a boarder with '###' inside of it, which I cannot drap and drop controls into. I'm not sure how to place controls into it. I figured out that you can add the Rows - then Columns in the properties window, but that just adds more cells which have the '###' in them. I can make it work with the HTML table, but I just want to know if I can do the same with the ASP.net table.
I am making a lunar lander game that randomizes the terrain for each new game, so each game is different. For my game, I am creating a graphics object that draws a closed curve for the terrain of the game. I am trying to then detect if a picture object collides with the graphics object.[code]...

Paste this code into a form (form3) that has a picturebox control (picturebox1).There is a blue swiggly line beneath the textrenderer "keyword", and a mouse hover message says "Name 'Textrenderer' is not declared"? I know that there are other methods, but I want to solve this textrenderer mystery.

View 2 RepliesI have a listview1 with two columns Name and Age. This code when I click on a listview item it is higlited and then i click on textbox1 it will remove the row and place the text in textbox1 and textbox2. Then when I double click on textbox1, it will add the text back into listview1 at the bottom of the list. I want to place the two columns at the same place it came out of. EXAMPLE: click on Tom - textbox1 has Tom in it and textbox2 has 2 in it. When I double click on Tom then it adds both Tom and 2 in the listview at the bottom

DrawMap(e)
End Sub
Private Sub DrawMap(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)

Am I right in copying that whole 'e as system.windows....' etc line from the form_paint details into my subs details?Just to clarify, the sub will draw directly onto the form.
Is there a way to create an image from a graphics object?
View 3 RepliesWe would like to know whether there is any way to interrogate a Graphics object and determine whether it is to be used to print or to render to some other canvas. We're aware of an API call that can be used but would prefer to avoid that route if possible. There's also the possibility of simply passing a flag in with the Graphics object that is True from a PrintPage event handler and False from elsewhere, but that's not ideal either. We're looking for a managed property or method accessible via the Graphics class itself, but nothing's jumping out.

I need serious advice here please. I use Visual Basic Graphics Programming by Rod Stephens as a reference, and I have visited his site vb-helper.com to try some of his tutorials. I tried the scribble application and it's working out fine (you can download the snippet from his site).
What I have trouble with is zooming in. I am not sure where to start. I would like to zoom in to x2, x3 and etc. of the bitmap I am working on and I would like to be able to continue to edit the bitmap. This would mean that I have a larger pixel brush under the mouse cursor, to lay down pixels. So a x2 zoom would mean a 2 x 2 pixel.
Has someone done this. Do you have a reference I can use for this. This kind of editing is standard in almost every paint package. Even Microsoft Paint, but there is not too much basic information on how it fits together in code for vb .net. So I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. As I said, I am using the scribble application as a base, so here is the link. [URL]..
I am new to the forums and just started to learn vb.net. Currently I am making a project that require a lot of text.

Then, I could just make it a sub and easily hide the text and reveal it

View 3 RepliesI need to make a basic drawing program in VB that can do three things:
"Draw" with a brush of some sort
Clear the screen
Perform a flood-fill (paintbucket action)
I decided to do the first two tasks first, and got them to work, but the third task completely eludes me. Every way I try seems to pile on exceptions, and every flood-fill algorithm I find seems to require a bitmap, rather than a Graphics() object. Is there any way to accomplish a flood-fill using a Graphics object, or must I restart the project using a bitmap?

View 14 RepliesThis little experiment was a test prompted by a previous thread to learn to work in a graphics object, then paint everything later to a picturebox (later, will be looking at building own custom control for the display), and save out the bitmap to a file on the HD.But weird things happen here. Nothing will display in the picturebox, and the saved bitmap is just a black box.The only partial success I had was replacing: e.Graphics.DrawImage(MyBitmap, 0, 0)
with,
PictureBox1.image = MyBitmap
inside the paint event handler, but that caused infinite recursion of the paint event. But at least I could see parts of the graphic for a fraction of a second before it was wiped clean, every time I clicked the "Go_cmd" button. But what is weird is that this partial success showed that the graphics object was copying successfully over to the bitmap image (because I could briefly see parts of it in the picturebox, but the saved file would still come out black, even though it was based on the same bitmap!The code is as follows.Above the form1 class
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
The single declaration:
Public MyBitmap As Bitmap
The form_load procedure:[ code].....
The code in the version shown above would not even show a brief moment of the graphics in the picturebox, and the saved .bmp file is just a filled black box.
