A possible way to load large images would be to convert the file to a BMP or similar, strip out the header, and then use a FileStream to read a block of bytes (you'll need the width of the image, which you can get from the header). Then you'd have to turn your bytes into a bitmap. In a windows bitmap, there should be three bytes per pixel, and in the order BGR. Of course, there are a few problems i see. It will probably be quite slow, rather difficult, you'd have to be able to convert the whole image on the fly before using it, again, thats gonna suck up some time, especially with such HUGE images.

Well, you didn't say that you needed it on the graphics object. You spoke of image processing, there's no way you can do image processing without a bitmap, so I assumed you were working with a bitmap. A 1x1 rect or a line that is one pixel in size, are your best bets then, I guess.

Unfortunately I was wrong as Mark pointed out. where doesn't allow specific structs as type constraint. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5x73970(VS.80).aspx[^]. Because int etc. are structures, you can't do this :( However, from what you said, it looks like easiest (and sufficient) thing to do is to have 3 overloads of Add(x,y) method - one for int, one for float, etc...

Hi, Is not the better solution, but try to put the images in a label control.

To hide the cursor, you normally set the MouseIcon property to a blank cursor image. SkyWalker

Did you try Cursor.Hide()? Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit. I'm currently blogging about: Christian Zionism, as seen from a Jewish perspective The apostle Paul, modernly speaking: Epistles of Paul Judah Himango

textBox.Select(textBox.length, textBox.length); i guess that will work

Generally you can't convert a string to a byte. For example a string like "Hello world!" does not fit into a single byte. If you have a special case where all strings always are exactly one character long, you can get that character and get the character code for it. The character code is still 16 bits, though, while a byte only is 8 bits. To store a character code in a byte only works if the characters are all only ASCII characters, so that you can safely discard the top 8 bits of the character code. --- Year happy = new Year(2007);

Have a look at Wikipedia's article on thread pools[^]. MSDN also has an article[^] that talks about .NET's thread pool in particular. Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.

I answered your previous question. Did it work? chatura

This is the way that I thought……:~ Dim X As Boolean = False TestBox_KeyUp Event If X = False Then X = True Else (your code) End If chatura
