Set The Background Image Of Form1 To A Picture That Is Already A Map?
Oct 15, 2011
I made a simple RPG game for my project. I used windows form application. I set the background image of my form1 to a picture that is already a map. I used picture box for the MainCharacter and set it to transparent and I also put transparent background gif images whenever the keyevents.But my problem is, sometimes when I move the picture box using the keyevents, when the picture box passes through the background that has different color, you can see the boundery of the picturebox, and sometimes it is lag and cannot display the image in the picturebox. Im gonna work hard for this because the deadline of this project is next week. I am just a newbie and not good in graphics.

My background worker then opens form1.My backgroundworker doesnt just open it, it does alot of other stuff so don't ask why im doing it like that.My problem:When the background worker opens form1, form1 is not responding.

I've been trying to make an image viewer that keeps top most while I do other things (like typing, etc), so I don't have to hop windows, or sacrifice screen real estate.I made a main form, and a configuration form (opened by pressing o), with options to set the main form's opacity (working), the picture displayed (as the form's backgound picture, not working), and if the main form stays top most or not (working).
Instead, the form just keeps displaying the image I set in the IDE.I first used a picture box to display the picture, which did not work, and decided I didnt need to have a picture box if I set the picture as the form's background picture.I tried looking at what could be going wrong, but couldnt find out much more than the path is being delivered to the main form.I'm working on Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2, VS2003, and here's the code.PS The code links to a D:ath-fin.jpg that I used as the default background picture, and the code is for 2 seperate forms.

I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?

what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:

I made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?

I'm trying to embed a background picture into an Excel file. Assuming I have an Excel report (see f.csv) below, I open it as an Excel, embed the picture and then save.I found the following code in one of the websites. It's working but still there is a problem that it always ask me to confirm the overwriting of the file. I want to save it automatically without asking the user about it, but can't find if that's possible. below I tried "SaveAs" and "Save" but it always ask me to confirm overwriting.

How can I programmatically reset my form background from a picture to a solid color. I have no trouble changing it to a picture or even changing it to another picture, but when I try to change it back to a solid color, it won't work.
me.backcolor=color.red 'OK
me.backgroundimage=my.resources.dog 'OK
me.backgroundimage=(none) 'error
me.backgroundimage=my.resources.none 'error
How do I reset it back to a color? It's stuck in a picture mode.

I'm making a front end to dvdauthor.I have a picturebox which holds the menu background. In order to draw a textbutton on the background image I store the image in a hidden picturebox. So the text doesn't get drawn to the visible background.
Dim ctl As Control
For Each c As Control In pbMenu1.Controls
If c.GetType() Is GetType(TextBtn) Then[code]...
This works the first time. But if I hit save again it writes the text to the background image on pbMenu1.
