I have one button and one image list on my form. I need to set the background of button at runtime. But even at design time, when i give it through Imagelist, it blurs the image, and not showing it properly. If I assign that image as background image in design, without assigning the imagelist to button, it works fine. Here is the code for

i have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMeFileName.png")
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.
I would like to create programmatically an animation for the background color of a label but I have some problems.
I have implemented the following code:
Public Sub DoBackgroundAnimation(ByVal obj As Label)
If obj Is Nothing Then Return
Dim animatedBrush As New SolidColorBrush()

When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?

View 6 RepliesI made a code that will change the background button when the mouse cursor over it, the user press and release it ,and it work great.The code below is a part of the code I made, which will change the background of the button when click by user.
Method to use:
butclick(sender)
Sub butclick(ByVal butname)
'code reset of button background start
Main.bestassi_bluebut_about.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.buttonbg

But I had to reset all of the background of the button first, the picture below explain why I need to do like this:
BEFORE ALL BUTTON CLICKED BY USER:
IF NOT RESET AND ALL BUTTON CLICKED BY USER:
IF WITH RESET:
So is there any better code for this? Because my method seen a bit silly. Is there any code that can change the background of all the button in one time?
Although my code compiles, it does not result in a change of the background picture of button1 here is my current code. Is it possible that my condition contains some error? or is the command itself wrong? [code]

View 5 RepliesOn my main form I have a 9 button grid that I need to fill with a gradient colour so that it represents a "heat map" going from Green (lower left) to Red (upper right). The "heat map" needs to be generated dynamically as - if I use an pregenerated image I have noticed colour variances when working on different screens / projectors as in the app there are other dynamically generated graphics & the two sets of colours need to match.So to achieve this - on my main form I have a PictureBox that I fill with the gradient colour.On top of the PictureBox I place my grid of 9 buttons.I then hide each button & take a screenshot of what is behind it & that then becomes the background image for the button. The button is then made visible.All works fine when I am testing in on a simple form The issue is that this arrangement needs to be placed on a tab control & I'm having difficulty replicating what I could do successfully on the simple form.....
Code for the colour gradient :-
Dim A As Integer
Dim B As Integer
Dim C As Integer
Dim D As Integer

This 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!

I have a tab control that I would like to set the background image of each button's interface to the same image. I set the color to transparency and set the background image, but the background image only works on one button's interface.
