I made a search and successfully found a solution to draw a rectangle inside my Picturebox while mousemoving using a class named Rectangulo:
Public Class Form1
Dim SelectionBoxObj As New Rectangulo()
Dim IsMouseDown As Boolean = False
Public SelectedObjPoint As Point
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
IsMouseDown = True
SelectedObjPoint = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove
If IsMouseDown = True Then
If e.X < SelectionBoxObj.X Then
SelectionBoxObj.X = e.X
SelectionBoxObj.Width = SelectedObjPoint.X - e.X
Else
SelectionBoxObj.X = SelectedObjPoint.X
SelectionBoxObj.Width = e.X - SelectedObjPoint.X
End If
If e.Y < SelectedObjPoint.Y Then
SelectionBoxObj.Y = e.Y
SelectionBoxObj.Height = SelectedObjPoint.Y - e.Y
Else
SelectionBoxObj.Y = SelectedObjPoint.Y
SelectionBoxObj.Height = e.Y - SelectedObjPoint.Y
End If
Me.Refresh()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseUp
IsMouseDown = False
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
If SelectionBoxObj.Width > 0 And SelectionBoxObj.Height > 0 Then
Dim oGradientBrush As Brush = New Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF, SelectionBoxObj.FillColor, SelectionBoxObj.FillColor, Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Vertical)
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(oGradientBrush, SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF)
Dim TempPen = New Pen(SelectionBoxObj.BorderLineColor, SelectionBoxObj.BorderLineWidth)
TempPen.DashStyle = SelectionBoxObj.BorderLineType
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(TempPen, SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF.X, SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF.Y, SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF.Width, SelectionBoxObj.RectangleF.Height)
End If
End Sub
End Class
And the Rectangle Class code:
Public Class Rectangulo
Private m_BorderLineColor As Color = Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 51, 153, 255)
Private m_FillColor As Color = Drawing.Color.FromArgb(40, 51, 153, 255)
Private m_BorderLineType As Drawing2D.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid
Private m_BorderLineWidth As Integer = 1
Private m_X As Single
Private m_Y As Single
Private m_Width As Single
Private m_Height As Single
Private m_RectangleF As RectangleF
Public Property BorderLineWidth() As Integer
Get
Return m_BorderLineWidth
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
m_BorderLineWidth = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property BorderLineType() As Drawing2D.DashStyle
Get
Return m_BorderLineType
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Drawing2D.DashStyle)
m_BorderLineType = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property BorderLineColor() As Color
Get
Return m_BorderLineColor
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Color)
m_BorderLineColor = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property FillColor() As Color
Get
Return m_FillColor
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Color)
m_FillColor = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property X() As Single
Get
Return m_RectangleF.X
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Single)
m_RectangleF.X = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Y() As Single
Get
Return m_RectangleF.Y
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Single)
m_RectangleF.Y = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Width() As Single
Get
Return m_RectangleF.Width
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Single)
m_RectangleF.Width = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Height() As Single
Get
Return m_RectangleF.Height
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Single)
m_RectangleF.Height = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property RectangleF() As RectangleF
Get
Return m_RectangleF
End Get
Set(ByVal value As RectangleF)
m_RectangleF = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
So far I found this article and adjusted with my code in mousemove event like this:
Dim top As Integer = Integer.Parse(SelectionBoxObj.Y)
Dim left As Integer = Integer.Parse(SelectionBoxObj.X)
Dim width As Integer = Integer.Parse(SelectionBoxObj.Width)
Dim height As Integer = Integer.Parse(SelectionBoxObj.Height)
' Make a Bitmap to hold the result.
If width > 0 And height > 0 Then
Dim bm As New Bitmap(width, height)
' Associate a Graphics object with the Bitmap
Using gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bm)
' Define source and destination rectangles.
Dim src_rect As New Rectangle(left, top, width, _
height)
Dim dst_rect As New Rectangle(0, 0, width, height)
' Copy that part of the image.
gr.DrawImage(PictureBox1.Image, dst_rect, src_rect, _
GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
End Using
' Display the result.
PictureBox2.Image = bm
And It's almost done! But the only problem now is the points are incorrect, the image displayed is always from the middle of selection to right and not his full size of selection
Thanks in advance
