How can I create a ListBox control on my Winforms application that has images in an orderly fashion, just like it holds text?
I'd like the images to appear like this:
Maybe I don't even need to use a ListBox. Maybe there's a better control out there for this purpose? Thanks!
You possibly want an owner-draw list box. There's an example on the MSDN page for the DrawItem event.
Load all your images into an imagelist, using a unique key for each image, such as a filename. Make sure you set the imagelist imagesize to the size of the images.
Set the listview LargeImageList property to the imagelist you loaded.
Assign the imagekey property of each listview item to the key that matches its image in the imagelist.
Set the listview view style to view.largeicon.
Profit.

Friends,
How to add Array of PictureBox controls to the Listbox ? My requirement is to display N number of images from the directory to the PictureBoxes on Windows form.
I am able to generate N number of picture boxes dynamically, but how to add them in a listbox control with scroll bar option.
I cannot use ListView as the image size limitation is only (256,256)
Please suggest some option to achieve it.
Regards,
VHK
ListBox doesn't accept child controls. What you can do is:
Add the Images to the ListBox.Items directly (or wrap them in a helper class if you want to add ie. the filename of the image)
Set the DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed
Handle the DrawItem event to paint the corresponding image
Can you help me, I have a TabControl but I can not put the image below the text carries the headertab any ideas?
I use c# and winform
To assign Images to TabPages, you can drop an ImageList on designer and add images to it, then select your TabControl, select ImageList property and set it to the image list you created. Then select TabPages property and edit tab pages, for each tab page, select an ImageIndex to show image before text.
But you should know TabControl doesn't have built-in support for images below/above text automatically, To do so, you should use Owner Drawn TabControl. You should set DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed and then handle DrawItem event and draw tab pages yourself.
I have an app with simple MVVM implementation with ListView on my View.
I need to add images to ListView, but not just images. I need to draw something on that images.
I have a model which consists of filepath, middle and theta properties. And I need somehow to bind edited images to ListView.
What is the proper way to accomplish that? How I can add edited images to ListView from a ViewModel?
Edit the images in C# code before adding them to a collection that is used in binding
Edit the DataTemplate and overlay each image with XAML Path geometry
Other options?
It's really not easy to answer because you don't state how you plan to edit the image...
I have a WPF application that has a vertical listbox that I would like to programmaticly add images to. I want to be able to use a FileSystemWatcher to monitor the directory that the photos are in and when a new image is added or an image is deleted the list box will update the images in the application. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Very roughly, you bind the ItemsSource property of the ListBox to an ObservableCollection of images. Have your watcher process add images to the collection as they appear, and databinding should cause the ListBox to be updated as the backing collection changes.
Further: How to: Create and Bind to an ObservableCollection
That's the general concept. Can't get much more specific than that without knowing anything about your code. :) Good luck!
How do you add a image to a tab label on a tab control?
Just like this:
But on a normal tab page like this:
I understand to do this you need to a add a Imagelist and make a index of the images to be used but I haven't found any examples searching on google. Any help?
Add an ImageList control to the form (this should be in the Toolbox). Add the images you want to the image list by going to the properties tab and set the Images property.
Then go to the properties for the tab control; and in the ImageList property select the image list you created in the previous step, then in the TabPages property open up the Tab Page Collection Editor (by clicking the button) select a page, then you want to set the ImageIndex property to the index of the image from the image list.
