Title: making my own class ImageDisplayByValue
Post by: oqapsking on April 29, 2017, 06:24:06 AM

hello
what i do some times is to read true / false address then the picture changes according to it

something like (ImageDisplayByValue) one image is jpg and one is animated gif

the way i do it is i put picturebox , basiclable and timer then add the pictures i need in the project  resources

after i put the basiclabel values and properties

i go to the timer code

and write this

Code: [Select]


 if basiclabel.value = true then
picturebox.image =  Global.MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.My.Resources.Resources.imageOff
else
picturebox.image =  Global.MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.My.Resources.Resources.imageOn

end if
 

now to my question

can i make my own class to do all the above ???


the reason i do this is that  ImageDisplayByValue does not support animated ( gif) images and treats them all as jpg

with thanks

Yes, but why not use the GraphicalIndicator?

That's true it doesn't. I started a new control that will support it:
