I used visual basic 2008, windows form applications. I used panel and its background is the map, and I used picture box as the character and with transparent gif pictures in every keyevents, I already can move the picturebox with keyevents. But the problem is, whenever I move the picturebox,I can see the box of picturebox even it is transparent.
View 5 RepliesI have a few problems i need to solve. Firstly, I am looking for a piece of code i can use to display a picture from a bank of pictures. It will work on the basis of generating a random number and loading a picture that corresponds to that number.
i.e. Dim RandNumber As Integer
Dim RandClass As New Random
RandNumber = RandClass.next(1, 10)
If RandNumber = 1 Then
Picturebox1.image = picture1
[Code]...
Secondly, can I then use subsequent picture boxes to display pictures from the same bank of images, without displaying the same image? Finally, I then need to be able to click the picture or a button beneath the picture to select it as an answer to a question and then the whole process starts again.
I tryed to add picture to picture boxes with loop, but unsuccessfully. I tryed many methods, but noone didn't work.
For i As Integer = 0 To 6
k(i).image = My.Resources.pic
Next
Picture boxes names are k1,k2,k3 and etc.
I have written a function to swap pictures in a picture box. The function itself works but I was finding that eventually i was getting out of memory errors. I am thinking that i need to release the images from memory as i swap them and have tried using Dispose().However Dispose() does not work the way i have tried to implement it.

I would like to build a form that has multiple picture boxes that a user can browse through and click on each one to select multiple items. The pictures will all be pulled from a single directory. After they have selected the items, they will click a button that will change the names on all the selected pictures. I know how to change the names, but I need some assistance with the picture box and loading the file names into a list or array. Not sure what it would be called. I am not even sure really if I would use a picture box or some other form item.
View 4 RepliesStill working on a very simplistic poker game and I'm struggling with getting the code to show my cards in picture boxes. I currently have 12 picture boxes set up on my form and when clicking the "deal" button I created on the form, I would like a random number to be generated from 1-53 and based on the number returned I would like a picture of a playing card entered into the picturebox. I would like this to happen in 10 picture boxes. So playing cards will be shown in the picture box on 10 of them and a the card back on the picture box 11 and 12. After hitting a second button, I would like the 11th and 12th boxes to display a card from the deck.
With all that being said my questions are:
1. How do I associate the random numbers with my playing cards? (I have my card pictures in a file on my computer.)
2. How do I get the picture of the cards into the picture boxes? What would the code look like?
3. I have a button to clear all the cards, but how to I program it.

View 3 RepliesI need some help when it comes to putting transparent items (such as picture boxes and labels) over a bottom-most picture box. I am using a picture box for my form's background since the background is an animated gif.Here is what I have so far:
A form with no background, and black color.A picture box with an animated gif. The entire picture spans the size of the form, so it appears it is the background.A label with a transparent property on top of the picture box.Anyway, when I set the label to be transparent, it seems to show through to the VERY back of the form (the black) I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make the label "draw" over the picturebox instead of showing through to the very back.

View 4 RepliesI'm creating an application in which i have 5 picture boxes on top of each other that will "layer" pictures on top of each other. The user can show and hide certain layers by checking / unchecking check boxes. I need all the layers to be transparent so the prior layer can show through. Currently all layers are set to transparent back color however, in VB8, controls by default don't support transparent colors. MSDN says you can override this and give controls transparency by the following:
Locate the constructor for your control class. The constructor appears in the control's code file. In C#, the constructor is the method with the same name as the control and with no return value. In Visual Basic, the constructor is the method named New. Call the SetStyle method of your form in the constructor.
Code:
Private Sub KeyHandling(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
[Code].....
This code won't do anything, except when I hold the control key.
Im using a black n white image of a human as my back ground and panels to display the same bits in color when the area is clicked. What isn't working for me is the panels are slightly overlapped and one will always be on top of the other. it is transparent so you can see the back ground, but not the panel underneath it when it has a picture in it.

View 3 RepliesI am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
