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

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.

JPG-pictures In Image Boxes
I have made a programme that shows documentation which is scanned documents (jpg-format) in an image box. It works fine, but the resolution in the boxes are not so good as I see the images in e.g. Windows Picture and Fax viewer or similar programmes. It is difficult to read the text in the image boxes even if I make the box relatively big on the screen. Is it possible to increase the resolution in the image boxes?

Images With Image Boxes
i am trying create my own graphics file format, and i want to capture the image from one image box to another and i am hoping my file will hold the rgb value for each pixel, but when i try and caputure each pixel its very sloooow, how do i display images from a list of rgb value as quickly as any image editing program displays them

Arranging Image Boxes
How do you arrange image controls on a form in the way the your desktop arranges its icons?

Transparency In Image Boxes....
I've seen this answered to the negative on this forum, but wanted to make sure that that was correct....

I have two or more images that I move around on a white background. Sometimes the images partially overlap each other. The images have "fuzzy" edges, which I have partially extracted and made transparent.

What I need to happen is to see the visable parts of each image through the transparent parts of the other, like a blend of the two pictures.

Can this be done in VB6?

Thanks

Image Combo Boxes
i'm interested in learning how to use image combo boxes, but i can't figure them out. first of all, i want to know how to add items to them (during design time or runtime) and i want to know how to put pictures in. anyone know a lot about image combo boxes? i could use some help. i've been pretty frustrated because image combos don't seem to have the properties that you need to use them properly. i've messed around with almost all the properties available in the properties window and i've messed around with several more in code and none of them have done me much good!
please help
thanks

Thumbnails In Image Boxes
I have a control array of image boxes. When you open a powerpoint presentation, the image boxes are drawn and they contain each individual presentation slide. It is using up a lot of memory when you open a large presentation. My question is, is there any way to make the slides into thumbnails instead of loading the whole thing into the image box? Right now I have the stretch property set to True and this is the code I have to copy and paste the slides:

'Copies a slide and pastes it in the picbox one at a time.
ppApp.ActivePresentation.Slides(counter).Copy
Form1.picbox(counter).Picture = Clipboard.GetData()

Thanks in advance for any help.

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.

Split An Image Into 2 Picture Boxes

Creating A Gride With Image Boxes

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,

User Moves Image Into Boxes?
I want to make the numbered boxes "tiles" and allow the user to drag them into the proper box below. Obviously, something cannot be dragged into a square it was not meant for. 5 tiles, and 5 slots below...

What is the best way to go about this... can anyone provide some hint or does skeleton code already exist?

The purpose here is that the user will be contructing a "sequence"

How Should I MOVE THE IMAGE BOXES IN A VERY SMOOTH MANNER?
i have figured out hwo to move the images with easy and normal vbkeycodes...BUT CAN NEONE TELL ME HOW SHOULD I MOVE IT SMOOTHER!! coz u know to move i i always have to press the ke again n again!!....I WOULD RATHER REFER JUS PRESSING ONCE AND HOLDING ON TO THT...Rather than pressing the arrow keys again n again!!

it looks somewha like this

if keycode = vbKeyup then
img1.top = img1.top + 32

and u know so on?!?!??!

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?

How Can I Convert Several Image Boxes To A Single Picture File And Then Print It?
i've got a project which contains several image boxes in different positions on top of another large image box (to form a diagram) and i need to be able to save them all to a picture file on my hard drive and/or print it out on paper. can anyone help?

Thanks,

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.

Combo And List Boxes To Text Boxes?
Connecting sub-menus to rich text boxes is fine is most cases but the user does not always want to use menus to load and display text. Applying the same technique as sub menus to text boxes with combo or list boxes just wont work could someone please help me out with this one.

Both combo and list boxes will for example:

Contain an alphabetic list.
When the user clicks on a file it should locate the text file from the drive.
It should then open it into a rich text box on the same form.

Could this be possible?

Please any help will greatly be appreciated.

Check Boxes And Text Boxes
Using Excel 2000...

I have two questions; one, is it possible to "lock" a text box so that a user cannot enter/change data. I have a text box that is populated within the VB code, but I don't want the user to be able to click in the text box (BTW the textbox is in a userform) and change the entry.

Second question. Is it possible to "lock" a check box once a user selects it. So the user can select a checkbox, but once it is selected, he/she cannot uncheck the box.

Any advice or quidance would be appreciated. TIA

Help With Combo Boxes And Text Boxes
Hello, I am making a little test program and I want it so I can click on a item in my combo box and that word appears in my text box... any ideas? help please.

Combo Boxes Or List Boxes?????
A bit of a beginners question. Hope it makes sense

I dont know which is the best to use. Here is the problem:

I want some kind of drop down list that allows the user to pick one of 12 items. Then that item is linked to a set of numbers. For e.g. if user chooses the item "A" then this means the numbers 0.025689 and 0.85696 is linked to each. Now do i use a combo or a list item or something else.

In addition what kind of code do you use to enter new items in a combo box or list item box. I tried to use:

ComboBox1.AddItem "A"
ComboBox1.AddItem "B"

within the combo box private sub - but when i play it back the combo box is empty. Any ideas???

Thanks

List Boxes And Text Boxes
I have a list box with a bunch of items in it. I'm trying to make it so that when you click on an item in a list, the text appears in a text box. I don't know too much.. but what I have so far is

Private Sub List1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Text1.Text = List1.List(i)
End Sub

What this does is when I click an item, it makes the text of the textbox the first item in the list. How do I change it so that I can pick an item from the list and have the text of that item displayed in the text box? Thanks in advance!

List Boxes Vs Check Boxes
How much harder are List boxes to program compared to Check boxes?

Check Boxes And Text Boxes
Is there any way to use a checkbox in a rich text box. Or another way to do what I need which is....
when someone double clicks on a url (not hyperlink) in my textbox, through an SQL statement if finds the matching url in my database and displays the article that matches that url? This was easy using a listbox, but I don't know how to specify the text in a text box that was double clicked. I hope this makes sense, if not I will try to clarify.
Thanks,
Cady

I was wondering about the check box cuz then I could match the url beside the checkbox, maybe?
