In this video we create a new form to show each picture selected and show it nonmodal. This allows us to have many froms open at once.
This is the code for FormPicture:
private void FormPicture_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Make the picture box the size of the form, minus the width of the edges. pictureBox1.Width = this.Width - 20; pictureBox1.Height = this.Height - 40; } public PictureBox GetPictureBox() { // Make the picture box available to the main form. return pictureBox1; }
This is the code for Form1:
private void mnuOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // The filter determines which file types can be selected. openFileDialog1.Filter = "All Pictures|*.bmp;*.gif;*.png;*.jpg|JPG|*.jpg|Bitmaps|*.bmp|GIFS|*.gif|PNG|*.png"; this.openFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); // If the user selects "Cancel" filename will be "". if (openFileDialog1.FileName != "") { FormPicture frm = new FormPicture(); PictureBox pic = frm.GetPictureBox(); // This lets us directly access the picture box on frm. frm.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName; pic.Load(openFileDialog1.FileName); frm.Width = pic.Width; frm.Height = pic.Height; frm.Show(); } }
To do: Finish the menu, add exit, add a tool strip to match the menu and add an about box.
