GDI+ Help Needed in VB.Net

2 New Member
Ok all. I have a program I designed that is to simulate three memory manager types and I want to graph the output in realtime in three different group boxes. I have the initial rectangles drawn and I have code to populate the red rectangle overlays in my groupbox_paint call BUT I need to know how do I access this from another subroutine?

' '///Draw initial Rectangles in Group Boxes///
Private Sub grpBestFit_Pain t(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs) Handles grpBestFit.Pain t
'Code for rectangles follows but has been excluded'

I thought I could possibly treat it like a subroutine itself but this does not work. I am getting these errors when I type this command:

grpBestFit_Pain t() (Trying to just call the subroutine)

Errors:
C:\Documents and Settings\TurboF reak\Desktop\Sc hool\Visual Studio Projects\Operat ing Systems\frmMemM anCont.vb(1368) : Argument not specified for parameter 'e' of 'Private Sub grpBestFit_Pain t(sender As Object, e As System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs)'.

and

C:\Documents and Settings\TurboF reak\Desktop\Sc hool\Visual Studio Projects\Operat ing Systems\frmMemM anCont.vb(1368) : Argument not specified for parameter 'sender' of 'Private Sub grpBestFit_Pain t(sender As Object, e As System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs)'.


Basically what I am attempting to do is show a graphical representation of a memory stick and place red rectangles over the used bits in real time as the program runs and remove those rectangles as the memory clears. These three "Memory Sticks are all in separate groupboxes. The Private sub above paints three "Memory Sticks" in the three group boxes upon initiation of program. I have the program functioning except for the ability to call this paint routine and make it redraw the rectangles as the memory usage changes. Any help in how to make this happen would be GREATLY appreciated. I can email full code upon request but chose not to place it here as it is currently over 3000 lines without including my module code. Thanks in advance.

I have heard that the video drivers in GDI+ are a big performance issue. But is this only an issue with something like Games Programming i think...is this wrong?. What about a drawing application just drawing simple one dimensional shapes(Polygons,beziers,polylines etc...) are these video drivers still useful for this?. If the video drivers are not a problem then is there any other performance problems that would be disastrous for a...

This may be a stupid question, but if I don't ask I'll never know ;) Ok, here it goes.... I am writing an application that renders an image in one picturebox and a graph in another. The image is drawn by loading a jpg into a bitmap and then setting picturebox.image = mybitmap. Ive created my own class, inheriting from the picturebox and overriding the OnPaint event so I can do e.Graphics.DrawImage (this.image....). This renders...

We create VC++ programs that does some GDI drawing functionality. I discovered GDI+ and this seems to be a big step forward, and appears to be standard available in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. But since .NET also uses it, does that mean that it gets automatically installed when I install a .NET framework on a Windows 2000?

I have an application which is heavily graphics intensive, all the graphics being custom. Scattered throughout by app, I have MyView->OnDraw( this->GetDC() ); Apparently, each call to this->GetDC() creates a GDI object and, 16,000 or so calls to OnDraw() results in the Application hanging because it can no longer create any new GDI objects ( I know, 16,384 )

Hello, Do you think it is legitimate practice to mix GDI+ and GDI calls (via Get/ReleaseHDC()) in paint event of a control? I've heard there is possibility of performance loss while "locking" Graphics object which is done as a side-effect to GetHDC() call - could you confirm? Another question that comes to my mind when planning mentioned operation is: if the control painted on uses double-buffering style, will GDI calls make use of "back...

I have a huge application with lots of custom controls. The app had a memory leak but fixed that by calling the dispose method where needed and now the user objects are very stable, when I am looking at the task manager. But the GDI handles keep growing. I narrowed it down to having System.Drawing.Font in my custom controls. To test it out: I created a simple form with two buttons Add and Remove that - adds and removes a simple textbox....

I have been playing around with trying to PInvoke GDI+ from C#, I made recently made the transition from C/C++ to C# and I really like the language, however being the old fashioned programmer I am I don't like the idea of the framework slowing down my applications with uncessesary safety checks. So I decided to try and PInvoke into GDI+ directly so tweak some extra performance out of an application I am writing. But every time I try I get an...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
