I am creating a page that auto-creates a pdf file from data in the database. I have the entire pdf working with the exception of the pdf background. The customer wants a gradient which I will need to repeat, but how would I create this? the image is 1px in width 976 in height [Code]. I was hoping that declaring a longer width it would stretch the image across but this failed.

View 1 RepliesI have a requirement to have a button filled with a gradient colour (red to green) & can't seem to find a way to do this.I am able to draw a rectangle & do a gradient fill, however I need the buttons backcolor property to have the gradient fill rather than a rectangle on top of the button.
View 2 RepliesThis is VB 2008, under Vista. I can't seem to change the background color of a button without the gradient disappearing.Strangely enough, you can even set the background color to itself and the gradient disappears. How do you keep the gradient but change the color?
Here's an example:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Button1.BackColor = Button1.BackColor ' This should do nothing!

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.

I have this code for a gradient form(EXAMPLE 1). It works fine on its own.I tried putting it into an existing project of mine and I cannot get it to work. The project is quite large so I am no sure what the issue is. Is it due to the fact that I have an InitializeComponent() line in the my Sub New in Example 2? Note I have alot of code

View 1 RepliesDataGridView, add unique gradient to each Row I like to add a gradient brush to each row of my datagridview. I like to change the gradient colors for each row independently depending of some cell values in the row. I know how to add a solid background color to each, cell, row, column etc. but I do not know how to add a gradient brush to each row individualy.
I need to fill the datagridview with values, the datagridview is disconnected from any database or other data source. After filling the datagridview, I want to step trough each row, find my key values, decide the gradient colors and then add the gradient to the row.I like to do something similar to what I now do with a background color:
For Each R As DataGridViewRow In DGV.Rows
Dim CS As New DataGridViewCellStyle
Select Case i

I am using Visual Basic.NET 2008. I was earlier a VB 6 developer. I found a (VB 6) code online which generates gradient colours on a form. It has a small sub (routine) which does the trick. If we pass red, green and blue values then form's backcolour changes and it appears like a gradient.Now that code is not working in VB.NET.i mean is there an easier way to generate gradient colours in VB.NET (2008)convert the code I have into .net specific so form's backcolour becomes gradient.I have attached a zip file which contains the code.

This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?
in the painteventargs of the form, i've got something like this: [Code] i'm getting a very cool gradient effect from red to yellow, but why is that the case? shouldn't the 1x1 portion be totally red? and the remaining pixels be totally yellow?
i'm not trying to paint a 1x1 portion in my form, im trying to know why e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0, 100, 100) doesn't draw a 1x1 red portion on my form through the code provided above. my understanding is that 0,0 specifies the point to draw the image. bm specifies the image actually drawn, which is 1x1 px. and 100,100 specifies the allowed space for the graphics to draw, if this is correct, the first pixel should be red and the remaining 9999 pixels should be yellow but they aren't.

My problem is that the gradient doesn't appear in the picture box when the form loads, paints, or when the picture box is painted.

I have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill. When it fills it covers up the form and the gradient on the form. Is it possible to make the TableLayout Panel and its controls colour clear or can you pass the same gradient color from the form to all the controls in the TableLAyout Panel (including the TableLAyoutPanel).
View 8 RepliesI am using a MDI form and child forms. Now I don't like the standard back colour of mdi form so I got code on the net which paints a gradient colour to the mdi. So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.
