----------------------------------- greenapplesodaex Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:46 pm drawing on screen from image file in c# ----------------------------------- i have a couple questions: - I'm wondering if there's a way to "print"/draw an image from file onto screen, without using pictureBox, is that possible? and will that have a faster update than using pictureBox? - If I want to get mouse position, how can I do that when the mouse is over some other object? (say i have a label displaying my mouse position, but it only works with my mouse is on the form, if it rolls over a label or something, it will stop getting mouse position) how do i get around this? thanx in advance p.s. should we have a c# section in the forum? ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:11 pm ----------------------------------- well I suppose an alternative would be to render a plane, textured with the image :lol: How are you getting your mouse's position now? The general policy for creation of new forums is to wait until enough interest in generated in [GP]/[GD] and then just move those posts over. ----------------------------------- greenapplesodaex Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:16 pm re ----------------------------------- hmm, DrawImageUnscaled() draws without using pictureBox, but the refresh rate is kinda low when I move the pic (maybe there's a move functions so i dont have to redraw the whole image?) o yeah, is there a layer control for this? im using private void OnMouseMoveEvent(object sender,MouseEventArgs e) to get my mouse position ----------------------------------- iker Sun Mar 26, 2006 2:27 pm ----------------------------------- you should check out the [url=www.mdsn.microsoft.com]microsoft software development network if your having problems.
