Question BackgroundImage!

[Khaledz]

Hi,
I made a backgroundimage using the design (Not by coding) it works just fine but when I enable the "RightToLeftLayout" the form backgroundimage disappear. can any one explain please.

Khaldez,

I tried replicating what you said above, but could only get the image to disappear if BOTH the 'RightToLeftLayout' was set to True and the 'RightToLeft' was set to Yes. If you only need one of those, you can use the BackgoundImage property. Otherwise it appears that you can't use that property and a few others: [Resolved] Form Backgroundimage And Righttoleft Layout

Hope this helps

Form.RightToLeftLayout Property (System.Windows.Forms) explains it is not supported, and neither paint events, but when I tested it still painted an image from Paint event, f.ex:

e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.backimage, Me.ClientRectangle)

Right, just like Microsoft says:

"Owner draw is not supported when RightToLeftLayout is set to Yes. The owner draw events will still occur, but the behavior of any code you author in these events is not defined. Additionally, BackgroundImage, Opacity, TransparencyKey, and the painting events are not supported."

I think I will change the layout myself thank you all
