I have written an app in VB2005. This app uses a picturebox that is 256x256 pixels. It looks fine on the PC on which the app was developed.
When I run the app on another PC, the picture box looks distorted: it appears elongated vertically, but still is 256x256.
How do I scale this picturebox appear square on different PCs?

Try getting the screen size through My.Computer.Scr een.PrimaryScre en, and adjust the PictureBox size according to the screen's width and height.

It might be better to get whatever the VB2005 equivalent is of VB6's Screen.TwipsPer PixelX and Screen.TwipsPer PixelY properties.

Thanks for the input, but both the PC on which the PB looks ok and the one where the PB appears distorted are set to the same resolution.

That's weird. Does one of them have a wide screen?

No, both are 4:3 aspect ratio. However, the development PC has a regular monitor and the other PC has a LCD flat panel monitor

Well, I suppose one of them must simply have the monitor adjusted so that the aspect ratio comes out a bit different. To be honest, I doubt there's much you can do about it. Unless you want to try and calibrate your program by putting a circle on the screen, adjusting the ratio and asking the user "does it look round yet?"

Does anyone know how to change the the GDI+ coordinate system like you used
to be able to do in VB6 with the picturebox.scale method. The
picturebox.scale method took an x,y point defining the upper left corner and
a second x,y point defining the lower right corner.
In VB6 the 0,0 location was the upper left like in GDI+, but I could at
least reset it so I could use it with lat/lons. Basically all I want to do

I have a usercontrol that contains a picturebox. The user can obtain

She could do gr.GraphincInit.Millimeter and then draw using millimeters as
the measurement.
But he would still have to dimension the Picture box using pixels
(Clientsize for example). He changes the picture box dimensions via
usercontrol properties so I could scale them going in and out.

I have been researching this issue and have come across a number of
solutions apparently written for VB5 or 6 and don't work under .NET,
yes folks that is progress!
Someone in this ng suggested just drop your picturebox into a panel
with autoscroll=TRUE.
I am wondering if this will work for my desired application - see
details.

I have an app where I want to show an icon in a large PictureBox.
I've set the SizeMode to Zoom but the icon image is extremely fuzzy because
the scaling up also anti-aliases. Is there a way to turn the anti-aliasing
off so I get a nice blocky icon image?

Hi,
I'm writing a program that based on input will create a document. It is
something simulair as a printing example.
In MS Word when you click on the shown document you can zoom in and if you
click again you'll zoom out again.
This is what I would like to do as well.
I draw the document in a bitmap, since all the information is drawn from a
database and on the form it is shown in a picturebox.

Hi,
I've got a Picturebox, into which I am putting a frame bitmap from a video
camera. The camera bitmap is larger than the picturebox, which has SizeMode
set to "Zoom" which causes the bitmap to be resized and correctly displayed.
My question is whether letting the Picturebox do the bitmap resizing is the
most efficient mechanism, or whether it would be preferable to perfrom the
resizing myself before passing the modified image to...
