How do I detect the left and right side of my screen? - vb.net

Question

I'm doing a project for my kitten who died...
I would like to know how I make it flip (look at the right side) when it comes to the left side of the screen, I'll leave an example in the print

Answer 1

Here's some code you can use to start with a single image file and display it in its original form or flipped horizontally depending on the horizontal position of its PictureBox on the screen.
'The Image to display on the left side of the screen.
Private leftImage As Image
'The Image to display on the right side of the screen.
Private rightImage As Image
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Assume that the original image is the one to display on the left.
leftImage = Image.FromFile("file path here")
'Create a mirror image to display on the right.
rightImage = leftImage.Clone()
rightImage.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX)
End Sub
Private Function IsPictureBoxOnLeftSideOfScreen() As Boolean
Dim screenMiddle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width \ 2
Dim pictureBoxMiddle = PictureBox1.PointToScreen(Point.Empty).X + PictureBox1.Width \ 2
Return screenMiddle > pictureBoxMiddle
End Function
Private Sub SetImage()
PictureBox1.Image = If(IsPictureBoxOnLeftSideOfScreen(), leftImage, rightImage)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(sender As Object, e As FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosed
rightImage.Dispose()
leftImage.Dispose()
End Sub
Where you call that SetImage method depends on exactly how you're moving the PictureBox, which you never showed us. If you're moving the form then you might do so in the LocationChanged event handler of the form. If you're moving the PictureBox then you might do so in the LocationChanged event handler of the PictureBox.
