Windows form background image refresh.

Hi, I am assigning a different background image to the windows control. The update does not seem to have any effect after the assignment. Even after refresh or form invalidate statement. Any aideas? I am using vb 2010
Which windows control? Is this a WPF project or Windows.Forms project or something else? Unless the image is being drawn then Refresh or Invalidate should not be required.
Windows.Forms PictureBox.
PictureBox1.BackgroundImageLayout = Stretch (or whatever precedes stretch too).
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = (a bitmap or Image.FromFile("Some path/Some filename.File extension") or something similar).
or
PictureBox1.Image = (like the above but the PictureBox probably needs to be sized to the size of the image first or not).

Css background image refresh

Hi,
I am using Edge inspect on my mac and pushing it towards an ipad and iphone.
I did make a css change involving a background image.
It seems like the image is not getting changed in the refresh by edge on both mobile devices. The whole name is changed not a replace on the server.
It's similar to a cache problem when developping on a browser.
Is there a way/setting to resolve this?
my best.
Brian

Thanks Mark.
After writing on the forum I did find the force refresh button in the extension. It did the trick in updating the images in the background-image css.
I did also make some change in the html from which the css was being called and it didn't change on the chrome browser refresh. Only worked from the extension force refresh.
Cheers,

Adding background image to portlet title bar

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add a background image to a portlet title bar. I have tried using the LAF editor but nothing seems to work. The image will be static and not change.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Chris
You have to modify the .css file depending on the type of Skin you are using like "default" or "bighorn" in case of 10.x and 9.x etc. Best thing is to install Firebug for Firefox and inspect the Titlebar in firebug. That should tell exactly which .css file and which element in that .css file is used to render the Portlet Title bar.
For "default" skin, the file is window.css and the element in this file is ".bea-portal-window-titlebar" with background-color: #XXXXXX. Replace this or add another field like background-image: url(your image path). This window.css file can be found under WebContent\framework\skins\default\css\window.css. Remember that in 9.x and 10.x to see this file from Workshop IDE, you need to switch view to Merged Projects and select this file and copy this to your project to view it. BUT, I would not recommend to modify any out of box .css file. Instead create a new file custom.css file and add entries in this file which you want to overwrite. This is the standard way to customize any out of box skins look and feel. So in your custom.css file your will have one entry like this:
.bea-portal-window-titlebar {
background-image: url(your image path)
For "bighorn" skin introduced in 9.x and 10.x, the elements in .css files are slighty different but the concept is same. I customized out of box bighorn skin to change background color of portlet title bar. The .css location for portlet title bar for bighorn skin is: WebContent\framework\skins\bighorn\css\colors.css and the element is ".wlp-bighorn-titlebar". For quick testing from Firebug, inspect this element and change the background color to something else and see if it reflects in Firefox. Then you can create custom.css file under same folder structure in your portal web project and over write this element and this field alone with the background-image that you want something like:
.wlp-bighorn-titlebar {
background-color:#FF0000;
background-image:url(your image path);
It is highly recommended to have all customizations go into custom.css file only. Please make sure that you have this custom.css file entry in the skin.xml file (in case of bighorn) or skin.properties file (in case of old legacy default skin). This .xml or .properties file can be found under same folder structure like: WebContent\framework\skins\yourSkin. For new bighorn skin.xml file this custom.css file entry is already there. But for old legacy default skin you may need to add this entry.

Centering background images problems

Let's say I apply a background image to the body and center top the image like this
=========================================================
<body style="background:url(BG_05.jpg); background-position:top center; ">
</body>
=========================================================
the background aligns itself in the center when the page load, and even if i resize the browser window the background image will center automatically...but is it possible to let the background stay in the same position even if i resize the browser's window?
Many thanks...

Sure. Instead of applying the BG to your body, apply it to a #wrapper div along with an expressed width in px, and margin-left & margin-right of auto.
CSS:
#wrapper {
width: 990px; /**adjust width to suit**/
margin:0 auto; /**with width, this is centered on screen**/
background: url(your_bg_image.jpg) top center;
HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
your centered page content goes here...
</div>
</body>

How to show a background image in the Forms 6i MDI window?

Hello,
We are using Oracle Forms 6i Release 2 Patch 18 on Windows XP in client/server environment (not web server).
Is there any way to show a background image in the MDI root window without using DLL injection to subclass the MDI root window procedure.
Kurt

Please try this
Public Function Decompress(ByVal arr As Byte()) As Byte()
Dim s As Byte()
Dim notCompressed As Boolean
notCompressed = False
Dim MS As System.IO.MemoryStream
MS = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
MS.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length)
MS.Position = 0
Dim stream As System.IO.Compression.GZipStream
stream = New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(MS, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
Dim temp As System.IO.MemoryStream
temp = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4096) {}
While (True)
Try
Dim read As Integer
read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
If (read <= 0) Then
Exit While
Else
temp.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
notCompressed = True
Exit While
End Try
End While
If (notCompressed = True) Then
stream.Close()
Return temp.ToArray()

Full browser window placeholder that acts like background image fill?

I want to be able to set full browser window placeholder that acts like the background image fill function, but be able to then build in a multi-anchored horizontal parallax. The effect is like we have a background image fill, but can slide horizontally between pages as if they are in a slide show. Simultaneously, content inside the placeholder such as longer paragraphs of text can scroll down - on top of the image layer, but inside the borders of the image placeholder. For a clear example of this, see this website: http://argonautinc.com/
I've read and searched but to no avail. I'm only about one week into Muse, so please forgive me if this is super simple! Thanks, Nico

Hi Nico_Cineaste,
You can achieve the design by using Fullscreen Slideshow in MUSE as object.
Open any page in MUSE , click on the "Object" >> Slideshow >> Fullscreen.
Click on your blank web page.
This will give you a full screen slideshow.
You can now design as per your requirement.
Thanks

Can I put a background image in Form?

Hi all,
I want to put a background image in Form. If my Form has only the background image, i can do it. But, if i put on my Form other items such as StringItem, etc. , i can't put my image as a background image. I think that i must create a custom Form by Canvas class, but i don't like that. Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi there,
You can do so with the J2ME Polish GUI:
http://www.j2mepolish.org
You can use images or even animations in the background, animate and design the items and so on.
All the best,
Robert

Stop centered background image from getting cut off by a shrinking window

My problem can be seen at cortw.public.iastate.edu
my background image is centered to the top of the screen. When the browser window shrinks, I want the background image to stop moving when it reaches the edge of the screen. Currently, the image continues to move past the edge of the window. I want to create an affect similar to apple.com and Facebook.com
I have little experience coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your CSS is seriously flawed. Replace what you have now with this CSS code and it will work better:
body {
padding:0;
width: 980px;
margin:0 auto; /**centered on screen**/
color: #333;
background: #FFF url(background.jpg) no-repeat;
/**menu**/
#apDiv2 {
margin:55px 0 0 350px;
For best results, don't use positioning. You don't need it. Use CSS margins, padding and floats to align elements on screen.

Hey Gurprit,
All you need to do is:
1. drag and drop the Image object from the Library -> Standard tab
2. select the image you want to use
3. position the image on the form where you want
4. right click the image and say "Send to Back"
That should be it!!

Trouble: absolute center background image to adjust when window size adjusts

Hello DW experts!
I would really appreciate some help in getting my background image to be perfectly centered, and then adjust to always be in the center when the window size is adjusted. Here is an example of what I am looking for:
[http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre4.html | http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre4.html]   I have searched and found a lot of resources online, and I have tried there different options (i.e. background: cover, absolute, z index etc.). Here is a link to the homepage, goal is for the words Apex to show up in the center. It does not only if viewed on a large monitor. Goal is if the monitor is smaller or the person adjusts the window for the word Apex to adjust and remain as centered as possible. There will be content covering it on some pages so it does not have to be perfect.
[http://sellurownhouse.com/ | http://sellurownhouse.com/]    Thanks in advance for any help!
body {
background-color: #000;
margin: auto;
background-image: url(images/wallpaperx.jpg);

body {
     width: 980px; /**adjust as req'd**/
     margin: 0 auto; /** with width, this is centered on screen**/
     background: #000 url(your_background.jpg) no-repeat center center;

Div Background Image...Resize To Fit Browser Window...???

[b]hello again[/b]...
I would like to have a background image (.jpg) automatically resize to fit any browser's window...& I read somewhere on the web it should be accomplished by placing the image in a layer (as a background image); & then set the layer size to 100%.
can someone please tell me how the coding goes for this...?
[or...if that [i]is[/i] in fact the correct approach? I don't care if it's html or css...I just want it to work. (&...I'm starting off w/ a larger image (so resolution doesn't get lost when going bigger)]
thanks very much,
[b]mark4man[/b]
btw - I should add that it's the image's [i]WIDTH[/i] I'm interested in resizing...while it's aspect ration remains in tact.

http://css-tricks.com/how-to-resizeable-background-image/
For the record, I'm not a big fan of huge background images on web pages. They take forever to load on slow connections. And some mobile devices won't display them at all. So all that weight just for eye candy is kind of a waste IMO.
I think the safest, most practical way to achieve backgrounds that fill available viewport is to use a small, seemless tile and repeat horizontally, vertically or both.
