Hello,

yep another problem :lol:

just hope this will be solved.

it seems we can't paint a image with imagelayout.center (this is because as default the backgroundimagelayout = center)
so we need to use that part to resize the backgroundimage with paint

i made a custom picturebox
and i want to use 2 images
1 at background with imagelayout center
and 1 image

the image works fine
but i still need to make this background to work

our code:

Code: Select all

    Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
        Dim G As Graphics = e.Graphics
        G.Clear(Color.White)
        MyBase.OnPaint(e)
        G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, ImageLayout.Zoom, ImageLayout.Zoom)
    End Sub

result:
see image
no image has been showed only the image i added
but no backgroundimage :(

anyone?
thanks

When you override the System Paint always delete this

Code: Select all

MyBase.OnPaint(e)

That's just the default paint message, but since you're doing the drawing yourself, you don't need it.

#XTechVB,

You are inheriting the PictureBox base class aren't you? :lol:
I don't really understand what you are trying to do, can you be more specific? :?

[Dummy1912]

well not really

Code: Select all

    Inherits PictureBox

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
        Dim G As Graphics = e.Graphics
        G.Clear(Color.White)
        'MyBase.OnPaint(e)
        G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, ImageLayout.Zoom, ImageLayout.Zoom)
    End Sub

i want to paint the backgroundimage with the settings backgroundimagelayout = zoom
because when i paint the image with

Code: Select all

G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, width, height)

if fills out the complete background
and i want to use the default backgroundimagelayout = zoom
to set the size.

i can't explain it in any other way if you still don't get it :?

My idea is that: i think that the backgroundimage cannot be seen because there's an image above it which is the image that you see.

try to empty the image for the main time just to see if the background image
is there. :(

[Dummy1912]

yes #noypikami
when i remove the image no background image has been showed.
only it will be showed when i use:

Code: Select all

            G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, width, height)

instead of

Code: Select all

            G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, ImageLayout.Zoom, ImageLayout.Zoom)

but i want to set the size automatic with the picturebox backgroundimagelayout.zoom

[XTechVB]

When BackgroundImage Property is set then the PictureBox draws the selected image automatically, why are you drawing it again manually?

Code: Select all

 G.DrawImage(Me.BackgroundImage, 0, 0, ImageLayout.Zoom, ImageLayout.Zoom)

If you want to draw two images in one PictureBox, then use two custom Image type properties, that way you have full control over what is drawn and how, without any interference from the PictureBox.

But i think you'll be better off using a custom control, that way you have control over everything.
Inheriting and modifying existing controls is always a bad idea.

[Dummy1912]

seems it has no point of asking
because we don't get far :lol:

i just want my own picturebox with some round corners as you can see on the image
but i can't set the backgroundimage with the same backgroundimagelayout
and i want this so it fits the image as ZOOM with drawimage

[Dummy1912]

nvm got it sloved.

Code: Select all

        G.DrawImage(me.BackgroundImage, 0, 15, 188, 188)

its a nice result
thanks anyway for the help #XTechVB ;)
