Set An IMAGE Or BackgroundImage For A Button From An Online Resource Such As A File ?
Mar 1, 2010
Is it possible to set an IMAGE or BackgroundImage for a button from an online resource such as a [url].... file in any way at all . I would like to do something like this in a WINDOWS FORMs based application.>>
i want to know, which way program runs faster1- add image to button through its property -> assign image from project resource file2- on form load event, assign images to buttons, from project resource file
I am using VS2010 VB.net and I am having issues with what would normally apear to be straight forward in VB6... I am looking at a control that will alternate its backgroundimage between two images, I wish to check which image is currently loaded to the control and change it to the alternative image.
If A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image1 then A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image2 else[code]....
This only yields the type of image thats assigned to the control "System.Drawing.Bitmap" how to return the backgroundimage file name thats been assigned to the control at runtime, IE Image1 or Image2.
How do I set button1.image to the image resource named in a string? if my_string = "image1" then button1.image = my.resources.image1 else if my_string = "image2" then button1.image = "image2" ... else if my_string = "image30" then button1.image = "image30" end if Is there an easier way to do this?
I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:
Public Class Choose_Background Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Me.BackgroundImage = My_Project.My.Resources.african_lion
I been trying to create a section for my program to change the backgroundimage property of the main form. let me show the code: (some parts may be bad written but I was trying to try to find the problem) this code is a click event from a button
I am using images imported into My.Resources as images for items in my game. Now for the saving procedure I use pnl.BackgroundImage.ToString but that returns System.Drawing.Image. What I'd like to know is how to retrieve the name of the resources object that is the image of the panel.
First of all Im new to vb 2010 and so far have enjoyed what I have been able to do with it. That being said I have run into an issue with my current project.
Basically I have created a timer and all works well on that part. My issue lies in that my timer loads a .png for each minute/second and I was linking the images like so[code]...
I'm from Holland (The Netherlands) and new to this forum, I'm not 100% sure if I'm posting this thread in the correct subforum... I don't I have a little experience in Visual Basic .NET 2008 Currently I'm developing a program for my job in which you can follow a checklist for doing a certain procedure. With every step you have to click a checkbox and so on. It's saved in an XLS-file and blahblah, all irrelevant for my question.
I've got to the point that I'm almost pulling my hair here, because everything went fine so far with coding my program, but this simple thing I can't solve What I'm trying to do is, change the BackgroundImage of a Button when you click on it. If it is Image1 at the time of clicking it should change to Image2, and vice versa.
So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)
I have a PictureBox which I would like to check if it's the same as one already imported to resources . If it's the same it'd do a condition otherwise it's do something else .
If I try
If PictureBox1.Image = Jogos_Matem�ticos.My.Resources.Resources.Cross Then 'code here Else
In my Database application same of the operations can cause a bit of a delay, especially the ones that invoke more than one query on the DB.... In Windows (or was it in Java?) I have encountered this progress bar that doesn't gradually fill in but rather just shows this block of bars that moves from left to right in a loop...basically not showing exact info regarding the progress but simply showing that something is happening....Anybody knows what I'm talking about? And if so, if there is a way to implement this in VB? Kind of in a way that it appears when the function is called and starts looping until the function reaches its last lines and then disappears?
I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.
Is it possible to use icon file as a image for a button in visual basic? E.g. I have 3 buttons that need to have 3 icons when you click the button the icon of the button needs to be the icon of the form is this possible? btnIcon1 = my.resources.ICO1 btnIcon2 = my.resources.ICO2
I use WPF and my program has images in a DLL resource file. I have this well working way to read in images from disk:
Private Function GetImageFromFile(ByVal fileName As String) As BitmapImage Dim buffer As Byte() = IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fileName) Dim memoryStream As New IO.MemoryStream(buffer)
[Code]....
Now, how can I get images in this MemoryStream-way from a DLL resource?
The basic problem: If I use simply the "bitmap.UriSource = whatever uri" way and load many images in sequence like an animation it builds up the memory. I tried with the above memorystream way and it worked perfectly fine, but then I store my images in a dll and I don't know how to do this trick. If anybody knows how to read many images from a managed dll without building up the memory
A DLL file contains some images inside PNG resource type.
I can view the PNG images in softwares like Resource Hacker, Anolis Resourcer & Resource Tuner. Check this screenshot of Anolis Resourcer for more details:
how do I get the PNG image no. 5220 from the DLL file and put it inside a PictureBox? I don't think APIs like LoadImage or LoadBitmap will work.
I cannot seem to get my image resources to load into PictureBox1.I can see all the images I added as resources in the solution explorer.They are a series of PNG files with names associated with countries.I am at the beginning stages of randomly changing the image that is displayed in PictureBox1, but I cannot even get the first image to load.Here is my code so far. When I click on Button2 I can see that my array returns a random country, but no image loads.I even tried typing in several of the countries names as well as the country name followed by png (e.g. chine.png) and again no image loads.
Public Class Form1 Dim randomObject As New Random() Dim Flags() As String = {"australia", "brazil", "china", "italy", "russia", "south africa", "spain"}[code]......
I am trying to retrieve an image from an Embedded resource, and displaying it in its RAW DATA format (ie-> junk text data).Basically, I am running into a wall with everything I attempt.
Recently the study vb.net but I still have not figured out how do I remove an image or an executable from the resource. If I put an image and add to the resource and I would extract C: foto.jpg
I have completed my vb project and have created the set up files as well.. Now when I try to install my program on another machine then it gives me an error. I found out the problem and it seems to be two of the images are not loading even though i have saved them in my application folder.. But when i save them in the resource folder the program runs but does not displays the images stored in the resource folder.
dim tick as image tick = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("button-tick.png")
I have a web browser with thumbnails on the homepage of recently viewed sites. I can't figure out how to save the images without saving them to a files. I want to save them to either resource files or a setting file;but i can't find a setting type that supports images!
I'm using resources in VB.NET(2008) to manage my files and have 3 icon files that need to be on 3 buttons on my form (clicking the button changes the icon of the form tot the pressed button)
ICO_1.ico ICO_2.ico ICO_3.ico
but when I try the code below i get the error that "Value of type system.drawing.icon cannot be converted to system.drawing.image" any idea what's wrong?
