mrmiguu Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You know you can do this in paint just as easily. If you're using Paint.net, I'd expect you to be making 10x better guis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiewho Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Can the buttons inside the GUI be moved too? I dont really like its arrangement :icon_crap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Good Tutorial. I give it a 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 4/10, it is a pretty minimal tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, he could add how to make a good looking image to put there and what the size of the image could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 in reality, people who dont have VB6 and cant edit the source would just replace the background .bmp/jpg image, without even needing to use photoshop.People who do edit the source, well they would be designing it within the IDEand this tutorial doesnt even start to broach that, so i assumed it was designedfor people who cant program or dont have VB6, and as i said wouldntyou just replace the background image file ? anyhoo…Hows the weather?

Bcm27 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 WWould this work in origins? I cant seem to get it to work…:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goku1993 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 it could work but you would have to remove some code because code says that for example read the pic in blabla and put it there and that overwrites the actual picture on the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
