I am a real novice when it comes to the graphics class in VB 2005. I have a
windows app with a large picture box control with a black background ...
except for a small rectangle that has an image in it. A timer fires every
second or so and when it does I want to move the small rectangle within the
picture box to another location within the picture box. I don't want to
copy the rectangle ... I want to move it and have the vacated rectangle
revert to the black background. Now, this program is an upgraded version of
a VB .Net 2003 version I had written. In that version I used the bitblt
function to move this box but, as is so often the case, that function is not
supported in VB 2005. Can someone help me understand how to move a junk of
the screen from one location to another? I would appreciate whatever
specificity you can provide ... I really am a novice!
Thanks.

What does "not supported" mean?

The usual way is to repaint everything, including the rectangle at the new
position. The first, simplest way is to paint in the Picturebox' Paint
event. Call it's Invalidate method to trigger the Paint event in the Timer's
Tick event.

Why would you think bitblt is not supported. This is a Windows API function
and has nothing to do with the .net framework. I would guess that even the
new Vista has support for the bitblt function since it is widely used as a
basis for copying, moving, etc. pixels.

The bitblt function (as I understand it) requires a device context paramater
(actually two ... one for the source and one for the destination). VB 2005
gives an error message when compiling a bitblt call with, say, picPic1.hdc,
as the source device context parameter. According to the VB 2005
documentation device contexts are no longer necessary with GDI+. So the
question remains ... How do I copy picPic1 to picPic2 using bitblt?

Maybe VB.Net 2005 provides a managed way to do this in .net code?

I have a rectangle around text that I want to fill in with color. I do not
know the height of the rectangle until I actually go through and draw out
the text. Is there a way of filling in the rectangle that will allow the
text to show through?
I did try:
myColor = Color.FromArgb(127, Color.GreenYellow)
Dim fillBrush As New SolidBrush(myColor)
but that isn't exactly the effect I wanted.

Hi,
After the great help I received to create PictureBox arrays I now have
another problem.
I want to be able to position transparent pictureboxes (with a small
rectangle drawn in them) next to each other. However if they overlap
they do obsure the picturebox underneath, even though the form
background is still visible.

I'm writing a program that displays a user-supplied Bitmap and then writes text fields to it. These "text fields" are things that the user can move around on the image, but to render them efficiently, I draw the text directly to the image. It's faster that way.
The problem is that right now I have to redraw the original (unwritten-to) bitmap and redraw the text whenever the user moves the text because I haven't figured out how to properly...

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.
