Hello dear friends,

It drives us nuts :lol:
even ggle didn't help much

so i want to set the image any location we like to add
even if we want it center it shall be center even when you resize the button
but don't work :(
even it change but it don't get into the middle and even if you resize its just devil;

here the code:

Code: Select all

'ImageAlign = middlecenter or any possition you want like the real button control
'topleft , topcenter ect...
'ImageSize = 16,16

Dim ipt As PointF = ImageLocation(GetStringFormat(_ImageAlign), _
                                    Me.Size, _ImageSize)

Code: Select all

Private Shared Function ImageLocation(ByVal sf As StringFormat, ByVal Area As SizeF, ByVal ImageArea As SizeF) As PointF
        Dim pt As PointF
        Select Case sf.Alignment
            Case StringAlignment.Center
                pt.X = CSng((Area.Width - ImageArea.Width) / 3)
            Case StringAlignment.Near
                pt.X = 8
            Case StringAlignment.Far
                pt.X = Area.Width - ImageArea.Width - 8

        End Select

        Select Case sf.LineAlignment
            Case StringAlignment.Center
                pt.Y = CSng((Area.Height - ImageArea.Height) / 3)
            Case StringAlignment.Near
                pt.Y = 8
            Case StringAlignment.Far
                pt.Y = Area.Height - ImageArea.Height - 8

        End Select

        Return pt
    End Function

Code: Select all

 e.Graphics.DrawImage(_Image, ipt.X, ipt.Y, _
                                                    _ImageSize.Width, _ImageSize.Height)

Code: Select all

    Private _ImageAlign As ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft

    Public Property ImageAlign() As ContentAlignment
        Get
            Return _ImageAlign
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As ContentAlignment)
            _ImageAlign = Value
            Invalidate()
        End Set
    End Property

so like the default button we want also get this result with any align.


hope somebody can help ;)

thanks

Isn't it as simple as setting the ImageAlign property to TopCenter or MiddleCenter?

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

[Dummy1912]

awww not again :lol:
whats so hard to understand... #Usman55

i'm sure you know the functions of the default button image property
so i want to make the same property for my own button

to set the image topcenter, middlecenter ect.....
but i can't manage to get the correct position
and even when i resize the button the image stays at the same location instead to move so it stays at the topcenter or middlecenter or what align i set.

[Usman55]

You're creating a custom button control and you want to have the ImageAlign property in it?

I see you have a picturebox within which the location of the image is to be changed.

To make the image move when the button is resized, you need to put the code in Button_SizeChanged event.

I'll look into the calculations when I get back to my computer.

#Usman55
