Drawing an array of PictureBoxes in vb.net - vb.net

Question

I'm trying to draw an array of PictureBoxes, for testing I use the same picture for each picturebox.
But instead of showing the picture, it shows the color blue.
I would show you a picture, but I dont have 10 reputation..
Dim teren(120) As PictureBox
Dim x_locatie As Integer = 1, y_locatie As Integer = 0
For i = 0 To 10
x_locatie = 210
For j = 0 To 12
teren(i * j) = New PictureBox()
teren(i * j).Size = New Size(61, 61)
teren(i * j).Name = "x" + i.ToString + "y" + j.ToString
teren(i * j).Location = New Point(x_locatie, y_locatie)
Dim locatie As String = folder + "\harta\test.png"
teren(i * j).ImageLocation = locatie
teren(i * j).Show()
Next
y_locatie += 61
Next
I also tried another method , but same result.
Sub PictureBox1_Paint(sender1 As Object, er As PaintEventArgs)
If myImage IsNot Nothing Then
Dim r As New Rectangle(x, y, xlatime, ylungime)
er.Graphics.DrawImage(myImage, r)
End If
End Sub
Sub deseneaza(ByVal poza As String, ByRef x_perm As Integer, ByRef y_perm As Integer, ByRef lungime As Integer, ByRef latime As Integer)
myImage = Image.FromFile(poza)
x = x_perm
y = y_perm
xlatime = latime
ylungime = lungime
Refresh()
End Sub
'this part of code is in body of another function
Dim x_locatie As Integer = 1, y_locatie As Integer = 0
For i = 0 To 10
x_locatie = 210
For j = 0 To 12
Dim locatie As String = folder + "\harta\test.png"
deseneaza(locatie, x_locatie, y_locatie, 61, 61)
Next
y_locatie += 61
Next
I saw in other threads that their problem solution was something like that Dim teren() As PictureBox {teren1, teren2 , ... , teren n} But the problem in my case is that I need 120 PictureBoxes, and I think that it must be a way to do this without writing 120 pictureboxes.

Answer 1

Please try this...it will generate 16 picture box, size 20x20, in a row. I put it under "FormLoading" event.
Dim Shapes(16) As PictureBox
For i = 1 To 16
Shapes(i) = New PictureBox
With Shapes(i)
.BackColor = SystemColors.Control 'Color.Green
.BackgroundImage = New Bitmap(My.Resources.led_blk)
.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom
.Size = New Size(20, 20)
.Visible = True
.Location = New Point( 23 * i, 50)
End With
Me.Controls.Add(Shapes(i))
Next

I think GDI+ will be the way to go. I think you need a custom class that has a rectangle structure as a member with other properties that help you with further logic with the character intersecting with them. Paint should be done in the Paint event of the surface control you are using - PictureBox has the best rendering - IMO.
Public Class Tile
Public Property Bounds As New Rectangle
Public Property IsImpassable As Boolean
'others you think of
End Class

Dim iTop = 325
Dim pBox(48) As PictureBox
Dim pinColor = Color.SkyBlue
Dim leftStart = 50
For j = 0 To 3
For i = 0 To 11
pBox(i) = New PictureBox
'pBox(i).Image = Image.FromFile("\NoTest.bmp")
pBox(i).Visible = True
pBox(i).BackColor = pinColor
pBox(i).Top = iTop + (j * 40)
pBox(i).Width = 20
pBox(i).Height = 20
pBox(i).Left = leftStart + (35 * i)
If i > 9 Then
pBox(i).Left = leftStart + (35 * i) + 15
pBox(i).Width = 25
End If
pBox(i).BringToFront()
pBox(i).SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
Controls.Add(pBox(i))
Next
