Image Boxes And Picture Boxes
hi, when i use this coding for and 'ImageBox', it works, but when i use it for a 'PictureBox', it doesnt. Can someone please tell me why.
Private Sub Timer4_Timer()
Picture1.ZOrder (0)
Picture1.Move Picture1.Left, Picture1.Top - 40
Picture1.Move Picture1.Left + 20
End Sub
when 'Picture1' is replaced with an Image1, it works, but if i leave it at picture box, it doesnt. Someone please help
here is the coding that executes Timer4...
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If Asc(32) Then
Timer4.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
is that 'Asc(32)' (which is the space bar) cannot move picture boxes but it can move imageboxes?
someone plz help
thank you
Image/Picture Boxes
Hey is there a way in VB to keep the background out of the picture box. Like i want to use a picture of a person, but it comes with a background that doesn't look right. Is there a way to fix that.
Image Controls And Picture Boxes
Hi,
This is probably a bad and extremely novice question, but I don't know the answer . What is the difference between and image control and a picture box? What are some examples of using one for a certain situation and the other for another case?
Thanks.

Image Control In Picture Boxes?
I have placed a picture box on a form and made a file
choosing menu system for a *.jeg custom viewer. I can load
the images in to the viewer. How can a person control
the images inside the picture box? Many times I will only see 1/2
or 1/4 of my image depending how big I made the picture box
durring design time. It would be nice to have come property settings
to control the image itself. If the picture box would allow scroll
bars simular to a textbox with scroll bars it would allow me
to view the whole image. If there was settings
to make the complet image fit into the picture box would be helpful.
Does anyone know if picture box has properties that I am looking for.
If not, Is there a Windows API control that might give me better
image control?
Thank you,

Problem With A Bunch Of Image Boxes And One Picture Box
As in my previous few posts, my program uses a 32 by 32 grid of imageboxes (created at runtime). The pictures in these imageboxes is derived from 1 or 2 images layered on top of each other (this is done using CreateCompatibleDC, bitblt, and a picture box, but this is probably not relevent to my problem.)
The program loads data from a file and displays a particular image based on the byte retreived. 1024 bytes are read from the file, but somewhere around the general vicinity of byte 775 (sometimes higher) vb crashes (invalid page fault, see below). Using a special debuging technique i came up with to determine exactly which line caused the fault, I found that the line "Editor.pbxCombine.Cls" caused the crash.
Code:
VB6 caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 00de:ffffffc5.
Is there any way to prevent this crash?
I might be able to prevent the error by switching completely to image boxes. But I'm not sure how to blit an image directly to an image box without using a picturebox.
Is ther any way to blit an image directly into an imagebox?
Picture Boxes / Image Lists / Icons
I have a situation where I need to build a picture out of a collection of icons, mosaic-style.
My first attempt was to create a form that would have Visible set to True, but be positioned off-screen so user couldn't see it; this form had all the icons I would need in pictures boxes. The main form then grabbed these icons using the picture box's Image property and tried to use the API call DrawIcon(). The problem is, the call failed, even though the hDC was valid, the Image property returned something non-zero, and the position was well within limits.
Question (1a) Why did the call fail? I can only suspect that what the Image property returns is NOT an HICON as required by DrawIcon()...
My second attempt was to take this handle and use it with the API call BitBlt() instead, assuming it was an HBITMAP. Despite creating a memory DC compatible with the display (passing 0, or NULL, to CreateCompatibleDC() ), it failed when I tried to select the HBITMAP(?) into the memory DC for blitting.
Question (1b) Why did the select fail? I assume the handle was not an HBITMAP, or it was not compatible with the DC (which should not be the case, since the DC matched the display!).
Question (1c) Given a picture box with an icon as its Picture property, how can I get an HICON handle from it, if the Image property does not give it as it hinted it did?
My third attempt was to use an image list. I added all the icons to the list(s), and sure enough they show when I DrawIcon() after calling ExtractIcon on the image list entries. Great. The problem is, it is not using the colours present in the icons (which are 16 colour)! It seems to use shades of grey, but not even a proportional shade to the real colours - white comes out as black. I told it NOT to use the mask colour, and I set the mask colour to an unused colour just be sure.
Question (2) Why is it not using my colours? How can I get it to do so?
If it is of any help, I am trying to draw these on a large picture box (AutoRedraw = False). I see no Palette property, so I don't understand why colours are being messed up.
Can anyone help?
Use Of Picture Boxes - JPEG Image Content, Zoom And A Design Time Query
I wish to use several large picture boxes to display diagram information which is available from JPEG files on my drive.
1. When I load one of these to the picture box, only the top left corner of the JPEG image appears in the picture box. How may I cause the whole of my JPEG image to be visible?
2. Having achieved that, if it is possible (and surely it is) is it then possible to make the picture box zoom in on a particular section of the image such that it can be examined in much greater detail?
3. Finally, I will have about ten of these large picture boxes all placed on top of each other on my form (so that they can be as large as possible). At run time this is no problem because only one at a time will have its visible property set to true, but is it possible to do something similar at design time such that the lower level picture boxes may be edited. At design time it seems that the last box I have placed on the form always stays on top, hiding those placed previously. It is agreat nuisance to have to drag aside all the later placed boxes in order to get at and work on an earlier one.
Suggestions will be gratefully received.

VB6 Split One Picture Into Multiple Picture Boxes.
how do i open a bmp or jpeg image into two seperate pictureboxes on the form? eg. half the picture in one box and half in the other? it should be quite simple but i can't find it out.
whatever method is used to do this, can it also be used to split the picture up more? eg. split into vertical quarters and put this into 4 pictureboxes?

If Square.Picture = ("Z:Pawn.bmp") Then

Need Help With Picture Boxes
Hello,
I am pretty good with VB but this one has me stumped. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a text box at the top of the form and a picture box at the bottom. Right now I have the code set up so that when I type the word "Bus" for example in the text box, a picture of a small bus appears in the picture box. Unfortunaly, I can only display one picture at a time. However, I would like to be able to display several pictures at a time but am not sure how. Could someone please tell me how I should go about doing this.
Thank you in Advance,

Picture Boxes
Hi,
On my demo app' I have the one form 'Form1'.
On Form1 I have a 'SSPanel1' control that I want 'Picture1' to populate the whole area of the 'SSPanel1'.
Do I need to cover the entire area of the 'SSPanel1' control with 'Picture1' and then insert another picture box as 'Picture2' to be used to tile within 'Picture1' ?
Or is there another way in which this same thing can be achieved?
Thanks for any help,

Can You Have Multiple Colours In Text Boxes, Or Richtext Boxes(etc)?
Is there anyway you can have each word in a text box a different colour? Like:
[RED] My Name [/RED]
[BLUE] What's up! [/BLUE]
or something similar?
I don't care if you can't do it in a text box but is there anyway to do it in any type of "text box"?
If sub classing is involved could you please point me to a tutorial?
Thanks a lot.

Lets say you have 2 image boxes. One to the left of the form and one to the right. The one to the left has a picture of a red car and the one to the right is a blank image. What would be the code so that when you click on the the red car, that image goes and transfers to the right image box. so now there would be the same picture in both boxes. if you can help me with that thanks alot.

Transparent Picture Boxes
Just making the final adjustments now... at the moment I have a "charting" display for the sky. Basically there is a square viewport which is a normal picture box. The stars are drawn onto this "bottom" box. There are two more boxes which sit "on top" of this one - one which contains the stars' names and another on which a grid is drawn. See the little diagram below for clarity.
| >>>>> | >>>>> | >>>>>> | >>>>>> |
screen "stars" box "names" box "grid" box user
These are transparent picture boxes, which are dedicated objects created by another VB programmer in Denmark. The idea is that the user can choose to see or hide either (or both) of the "names" or "grid" boxes.
Everything works very well - apart from what appears to be a bug somewhere. On certain rare occasions - seemingly when there is a lot of detail to be shown - the display doesn't work properly! Usually what will happen is that one of the boxes refuses to show. That is, you may be able to see the box containing the stars' names, but not the stars themselves!
The bottom line is, can I do this without using his control? I need to be able to show or hide each of the boxes except the "bottom" one with the stars on. That's always visible. I understand that there are ways to do this using the API functions, and I think it will be made easier by the fact that all of these picture boxes are stationary. In fact they have to be!
Can anyone advise? Thanks.
Transparent Picture Boxes
In my game when the user moves his object over terrain the whole terrain picture box goes gray like the background of the figures one. Only the figures picture is shown because the pic box isnt transparent! The picture of the figure IS TRANSARENT!
How can I make the box transparent, the option fillstile: transparent wont work!?
Scrolling In Picture Boxes
here's the deal, I'm working on a map editor and I'm blitting the selected tiles to a picturebox. But if I need a huge map, I'll need the picturebox to scroll. So would I do that?
Pictures In Picture Boxes
I am trying to make a macro to make the insertion of small icon images into a document easier.
If you can imagine one picture (bmp) containing all the little images, my question is how I can copy just one of these images to the clipboard through Word - i.e. through a macro.
So far, I have a small form which displays the big picture in a picture box. As the user waves the mouse over the picture, a highlight square indicates which image will be inserted. This is far as I have got.
I now need to actually grab that specific part of the picture and stick it on the clipboard.
Its a bit of a strange one I know, but the alternative is having to load up paint, zoom in (they are quite small pictures) and carefully cut out the picture I want. A single click in a picture box is a much more elegant solution.
Add/remove Picture Boxes On The Fly
I'm doing a little personal development in my spare time and I just realized that I have never attempted to create objects dynamically. I'm hoping that it's possible...
In my app, I want to be able to create copies of picture boxes on the fly. In design-time, I have two picture boxes. They're in an array. What I would like to happen is, during run-time, create a copy of one of the two boxes and add it to the array. I would also like to be able to remove this new box. It will never be in the middle of the array, rather I will add/remove to/from the end of the array.
Is this possible? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
