I am new to programming . My task is to change the background of the app so that every time I open the app I get a different background image and every minute the background image changes. I am a complete noob and I am trying to do this for almost 36 hours now. I am getting really depressed right now. Every time I am trying to write a code, there's an error.
View 5 RepliesOkay, I have a form and I have a tab control thing. On the second tab, I have a button which is supposed to turn the background green.
So, I have this:
#pragma endregion
private: System::Void greenButton_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
this ->BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::Green;
But clearly that just turns the FORMS background green. How can I change the TAB background to green.
I am working on this project where I need to update an edit box every couple of seconds with a status and based on the status I need to change the color of the background to a particular color.I am able to update the edit box with the status but is clueless on how to update background color.I have read some info on line about this but is confused.This edit box is on a tab in a dialog. Also, on this tab is a Groupable List Ctrl.

I've tried using a printf statement to change the color, but it only changes the background color of the text being printed.
I was trying to change the text and background color to :red blue
Is there a way to do this? is there a certain function? ...
Here is my code:
#include <graphics.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main() {
int gdriver = DETECT, gmode, errorcode,i;
initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "c:cgi");
errorcode = graphresult();
[Code] ....
Here is what I did,
Code:
oldHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, CallWndRetProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
MessageBox(...);
UnhookWindowsHookEx(oldHook);
Then within the callback function CallWndRetProc, I tried to change the background color of the dialog,
Code:
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
::SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0));
EndPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
But it doesn't change the background color of the dialog. I wonder what is the right way to do that?
I made 2 forms and Form2 has buttons with images like planets and game wallpapers etc. When I write the code for button:
this.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(Properties.Resources._8_8008_by_amplifier404);
this.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
// where _8_8008_by_amplifier404 is name of the image located in resources
It only changes background in form which has those buttons as long the form is used. Once I go back to form1 it's changed to null. How to set background in all forms with a button click which will be there until another button with an image is clicked.

I have a derived CComboBox class, where I tried to change text and background of edit from CComboBox, just like this:
Code:
HBRUSH CMyComboBox::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) {
HBRUSH hbr = CComboBox::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
//if(CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor || CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX == nCtlColor) {

but is not working if CComboBox has CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style ... is working only for CBS_DROPDOWN style ... why ?
I've been working on making a sprite generator and this is one thing that has kept giving me difficulties. No matter what I've looked up nothing directly says how to nor can I find anything on a similar topic to try and apply to it either. I know how to add the resources and names for the options but how do I get the options to make my picturebox image change in relation to the selection?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe question says:
Place an Image on top of a Button. Move both when the Button is pushed.
Please have a look at this code:
#include <GUI.h>
using namespace Graph_lib;
//------------------------------------------------
class rotation : public Window {
public:
rotation(Point xy, int w, int h, const string& title):
Window(xy,w,h,title),
[Code] ....
The problem is that, it is not possible to define an Image in public/private part of the class rotation. Image needs all arguments to be supplied even when declaring one. (Image is here in Graph.h)
And if I define that Image in the body of main() function, so how to provide access for void rotate() to change its position with the position of button simultaneously.
My goal is to have couple of items in the listbox and when highlighting one item a image in the picturebox should appear, and so on for each item in the listbox.I just don't know how to change image depending on selected item in the listbox instantly.Also when i highlight item a text in label should be like in highlighted item in listbox.

I'm having a problem with my homework. The task is to write a program that will take time and date typed by user, and increase it by 1 minute. I should write 3 functions - first calls second function that updates time and calls third function, if time is 00:00.Time update works, but date update does not.My whole written code:
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
struct DateAndTime {
struct date {
int day;
int month;
int year;

I should check if inputs are numbers only, so I tried including isdigit function from ctype.h library, but that didn't work either, after I was trying it for a good hour or so, but I kinda rage quit that...
Im trying to compare the image of a button to another image in Visual Studio like so...
//variables
Image active = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\Ethan\Desktop\StarWars Status\active.png");
Image stunned = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\Ethan\Desktop\StarWars Status\stunned.png");
[Code]...
btnStatusPlr1.Image SHOULD come back as True.Then I realized it might not be the same as setting the buttons image in the properties (Which is what i did to get the original image (the one being compared to))
I do have a feeling ive done something wrong here (Yes im a noob /> )
Variable active, is the same image as the buttons default (Well should be)
My coin/money change code works when there can be an exact change each time, i.e. when the 1 cent option is available. However, when the change options are only $10, $5, $1, 25 cents and 10 cents, it does not give me what I want for instance, I wanted to get change for $237.80, I was expecting to get:
23 10's, one 5, two 1's and 8 dimes. However, the code below is giving me 23 10's, one 5, two 1's and 3 quarters (there is no option left for the 5 remaining cents).how to fix it?
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
void change(double cents, int a[]);
int main() {
double Dollars;
double cents;

I'm still at the very beginning of learning WPF and there are still countless things i don't fully understand. For instance, as I can see in my WPF project, there isn't an event that would fire when the Background property of some control is changed. Or am I just missing it? If i'm not blind after all, and it really doesn't exist, is there any way i could get notified when the Background color of some control is changed?

I am working on a 2D side scroller game. Where a ball is moving continuously towards right . I used a camera to follow the ball as soon as ball reaches the center of screen. I created a horizontal line to look like the surface on which the ball is rolling.
line runs from x=0 to x=800 (i.e screen width)
NOTE: (0,0) coordinate is at top left corner of display.
Problem: My display is 800 x 400 . Camera follows the ball, but soon the ball crosses x=800 and starts moving in black background. I want that line surface to stay there instead of going out of bound.
Additionally! I generated obstacles from x=800 which also move out of bound along with my line.
What should be done here? This is just my first c++ game project, so i might be skipping things that can solve the issue.
[Update] these screenshots manage to show, what the real problem is: [URL]
