[VB2010] Displays an image

[VB2010] Displays an image

So you need to display an image in your application but after selecting say from ComboBox. This is very easy to do and does not require any special knowledge.

  1. Right-click in Solution Explorer on the name of your application and select Properties at the bottom.
  2. Now select Resources in the new window and you will immediately see that it says String1. This is where you put your files to run inside the program. This is extremely important precisely because it is necessary to run the image from the very resources of your application.
  3. Add Resource then Add Existing File and select which image you want.
  4. Now put on your form say one ComboBox and PicutreBox so that we can complete the example.
  5. Double click on ComboBox and enter the following code:
        If ComboBox1.Text = "ÄŒokolada" Then PicutreBox1.Image = My.Resources.Slika
      

Here is the point in the following. You specify a condition of type If this is this. If we select the word Chocolate in the ComboBox then the app will show us an image from a resource that I put called Image (you put the name of your image, it's already variable).

So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
