I have a picture box which reads in an image from a folder to display, instead of having the usual boring image I thought it may be nice to have a number of images in the folder and let my vb.net program randomly pick one out to use.
View 1 RepliesI have a Picturebox and a two Buttons on my Form. On click of one of the buttons I want to change the image in the picture box at runtime.
This works fine when I give the location of the image (the full path ) on my computer - but then of course it will not work if I use the solution on a different computer .
So I have made a folder named "Pics" inside my application and added two images into it.
How do I get to this local folder in the following code?
Picturebox1.image = system.drawing.image.fromfile (??? )
instead of the usual,
Picturebox1.image = system.drawing.image.fromfile ("C:UsersMyName My PicturesMyPicture.jpg" )
I want to select a random image from my resource folder and show the image in a picture box.
View 9 Repliesi want a random image from just a part of the resource folder to be shown in a picturebox . i have this code but it for the hole of the resource folder
Dim prng As New Random 'should be in namespace
'get list of all resources
Dim rs As System.Resources.ResourceSet = [code]......
Here's my code so far (not much):
Code:
Private Sub cmdNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNext.Click
Dim strURL As String
[Code]....
Am I doing this correctly so far? I need to "collect" the address/URL of the picture that is currently displayed in the picturebox (pbxFile), then load the next picture in the folder into the picturebox.
With a button click event, how do I make a picture box image property switch to a random image from the resources folder?

i am referencing my resources at startup so i do not need to access my resources again as i know it would create an identicle instance of that resource and you can not compare them.But i am trying to determine the current picturebox image.

I have a picturebox and I am trying to create a masking system to use in different graphics projects.Is there a simple way to select an object with pixel precision. For example if I have a picture of an animal, how can I select it by moving the mouse over it with precision instead of selecting an entire rectangle area where the object might be transparent?
Is there a way to do this with the builtin capabilities of gdi+ or is this something that requires code? If it does require code, does anyone have an example of this?

View 1 RepliesI have a picture box on my form. I can load images which I read from a database into the box.
The problem is that the images are all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Some are square. Some are portrait. Some are landscape.
How do I configure the imagebox so that the pictures are reduced to fit, and keep their proportions. As I've got it at the moment, the rectangular ones are distorted into a square, which makes some of them look pretty strange.
On my form i have a picture box that i want to put a random image in. im my code i have a random number generator. the number generated will correspond to a picture in my.resources. i.e if it generates 1 there will be a file called 1.jpg. what i need to know is how to tell the picturebox to display the image that corresponds to the generated number? i tried:
