hi
how can i convert image that is 32bppArgb (png image) to jpg so if the image is Transparent
i don't get a black image, or if the image is semi Transparent (like red color and 50 % alpha) i get the color like the png image and not a full color?

The jpg format does not support an alpha mask, png does. Therefore, this will be lost when you convert to jpg.
The rest of your question makes no sense to me.

Hi Nryk,
This response assumes you are not using WPF.
Well, if you want to do this outside your own code, any tool like ACDSee will convert your .png with transparency to a .jpg which looks okay : I have not experimented with this to any depth, but the default settings of ACDSee's .jpg conversion will produce a file with the transparent areas rendered in white.
I would guess it is possible in PhotoShop (I use CS4) to change the settings when you save as .png (while PhotoShop only shows a 24bpp option .png, in fact it does save the alpha) so that what color shows up in the .jpg (where the transparency was) trasformed by ACDSee varies, but that's a guess.
I have never tried making a .png in PhotoShop with partial transparency (unless this is a side-effect of "feathering," which I use often, that I am not aware of). But now that you mentioned it, I am curious to experiment.
If you are doing conversion at run-time in your own code, I would guess you are going to have to construct a new bitmap and interpolate the alpha values into tints of color (luminance values ?) in the rgb source. But I would certainly go and research this with Google, and on StackOverFlow, and, of course, right here on CP.
I would also advise you to check out Bob Powell's win forms and graphics for .NET sites (somewhat out of date, but still full of great hints and tips if you are using WinForms) :
Tips/Tricks[^]
GDI+ FAQ[^]
Check out the CP AlphaForm article[^], by Jeff Anderson, and his source code, for great information on transparency via Layered Windows. While it is not specificly targeted at .png, I think you'll find it valuable.
You can check out my raving about Jeff's article[^]; in that message I include a link to a very valuable on-line resource for understanding .png optimization.
best, Bill

JPG doesn't have alpha layers
In C++, if you are willing to assume you would be drawing the PNG image on a black background, look up AlphaBlend. You could draw the PNG to a bitmap or just create a 24 bit image using the raw bytes. The BLENDFUNCTION documentation has a chart of the multipliers you need to use. It looks confusing, but is rather straightforward once you think about it.
I'm not sure the equivalent of AlphaBlend in C# (outside of the DirectX classes.) Again, if you assume the background, you could do it yourself.

I am using a data grid view with an unbounded check box column. I am trying to delete those selected values from the grid that are checked through the check boxes only. Can any body plz give me the code for it. Currently I am using the following:
<code>
private void btnToDeleteSelectedRows_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DALHelper dH = new DALHelper();
List<int> rowsToDelete = new List<int>();
int[] array = new int[10];
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
if (Convert.ToBoolean(dataGridView1["column1", i].Value))
{
rowsToDelete.Add(i);
}
}
} </code>;

Omar, You can try this out,
foreach (dataGridView1 row in this.dataGridView1.Rows)
{
DataGridViewCheckBoxCell Checkedcell = row.Cells[1] as DataGridViewCheckBoxCell;
if (Checkedcell != null && row.IsNewRow != true)
{
this.dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(row);
}
}
Hope this will help you

for (int i = (dataGridView1.Rows.Count) - 1; i >= 0; i--)
if (Boolean.Parse(dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[2].Value.ToString()))
dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(i);
______________________________________________________________
check box column = cell[2]

I know this sounds stupid, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the first selected item from the list view? Its not the way you do it with the windows forms as WPF (I'm new to WPF). I'm trying to get the first selected item everytime the user selects an item (from code behind)

Sorry, I was thinking since I was trying to do this in the code with C# it belonged here.
Thanks

It can't be done, it shouldn't be done.
Just put a note on the computer not to press any keys for two minutes after booting.

I'm writing an app where you can input a lot of data in a lot of different controls (textboxes, updowns, etc.)
Now I want to implement a function you see in most other apps where you input information and save it: the moment the user changes a saved file or inputs something into a new file, the file is unsaved and upon closing it, the user will be prompted if he wants to save changes.
The only way I can think of to achieve this is to use each input control's change event (change text for textbox, change value for UpDown, etc.) and set an "unsaved" bool to true.
When the user wants to exit the app, check the bool and display a message box if necessary.
Is there an easier way other than using all the events (I have a lot of data, so that would be about half the code of each form or more)?

Yea, the most obvious solution is the tedious one: trap each input control's change event and set an isDirty type flag for the form to true.
But... you could think of this as a more general-purpose problem too. It wouldn't be difficult to write a separate controller class - one that could take a form as input, loop through all of its controls, and assign event handlers for the input control change events. This controller would have an Initialize(Form frm) method and an IsDirty read/write property. You would then instantiate this controller in the Load event for each winForm you wish to track this way. When you save a document from the winForm, you set the controller's IsDirty flag to false. Then whenever the input changes on the form, the controller has already established event handlers that sets its IsDirty flag to true.
Once the controller class is built, it becomes very simple to use in your winForm and reusable across multiple forms.

For a system (similar to a Windows Service) I wrote a while back I had to write an editor for its configuration. The editor had to alert the running process of any saved changed. I didn't want false-positives (e.g. changing a value from 2 to 3 and back to 2), so as to avoid interupting the process needlessly. It wasn't much data so I had it save a copy of the data it read in. At exit it compared the two copies and only saved and alerted if there were actual changes.
I realize this may not apply to your current situation, but maybe it'll help someone else someday.

Great suggestions you've had.
This[^] is one way of implementing it that I've come across. It's old code, and some of what it uses is marked as obselete, but may be a starting point.
It would be very useful if System.Windows.Forms.Control had an IsDirty read only property and an IsDirtyChanced event, then it would cascade through to every control we use, and would automatically be there in any new controls we create.

You don't need an event handler for each field in the form. Just point the Changed event of every relevant control to the same event handler.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Sounds good, but I think I have radio buttons, check boxes, numeric updowns and textboxes, I can only use the same handler if they all use normal EventArgs.

How can I Move ScrollBar in ListView From left to Right when I set "RightToLeft"property true?
|
|
|
|

I think you need to just set Scrollable=True only. RightToLet Property is used for "Gets or sets a value indicating whether listviews elements are aligned for right-to-left fonts"
