My.Settings and PictureBox.Imag e

1 New Member
I'm using VB.NET with 2.0 - I have a number of PictureBoxes in my application - all of which use a context menu to change the associated Image to one of 5 options. I need to maintain the state of these PictureBox.Imag e setting across application shutdown and subsequent startup. my.Settings is just the ticket, but alas, doing this the only way I find won't work for me because the PictureBox - Application Settings - Property Binding doesn't expose the Image property for binding.

My question:

1. What code can I use to add a binding for the PictureBox.Imag e property?

Next I want to set the My.Settings properly so that I can bind to an image that is contained in My.Resources

My Question: Can I just browse for the type and select Windows.Forms.P ictureBox? What do I put in for the value? can I put in My.Resources.im age.gif?

Lastly, I need to be able to dynamically reference the picturebox that was right-clicked to bring up the context menu. I can get the sourcecontrol as an object and set its Image property, but how do I use the object's name in the right side of the statement?

e.g.

clickedControl. Image = My.Settings. (clickedControl .Name goes here)

Thanks in advance for help on any of the three problems...

I have created a PictureBox control which can have it's Image property directly bound to an image field in a database. This works perfectly for showing the images that are in the database. When I paste a new image into my control, it shows the new image and updates the image property. Problem is... It doesn't update the bound field! Any thoughts as to what I've done wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The code for the...

I have a picturebox on my VB.NET form. The picturebox size mode is set to stretched. I then load an image into that form and display it. As the user moves the mouse over the form, I want to get and display (in the status bar) the image coordinates of the mouse location. However, if I use the picturebox's MouseMove event, I am getting the coordinates of the mouse over the PICTUREBOX, not the actual image underneath that (which is stretched)....

Hi All, I have a picturebox on a form containing the photo of a person. As you advance through the records, the photo updates. Rather than storing the images in an inefficient blob field in a table, I have the separate images stored in an image directory with primary key as the filename (3476.jpg). If the image exists, I display the image. All this works fine. I have a buttons that allow for the insertion and deletion of photos. ...

Any help appreciated. (VB.NET under XP and Vista, SP1 installed) My code, inherited from a VB6 version of an app that ran under W98, loads an image from a file into a PictureBox. The user may want to move or delete the file that is being shown. The corresponding event- driven code for "delete this picture" uses: My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(sPath)

XP VB 2005 running an example from help that creates a picturebox in code - the picturebox is not created. If I comment out the "Dim Box as New PictureBox" and create it in Design mode - the example works. I have tried Show, Enabled, Visible, and even BackColor. Why does a help example not work? and why does Design creation work? Thanks - I hope.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
