c# mixing Graphics and TextBox


c# mixing Graphics and TextBox



I have developed an interface in which the user can design his own GUI. Problem being that I have to put on same custom control both graphic objects and textbox for input data. What happen is that I use the _Paint event of the custom control to refresh the graphics but all textboxes seems to be lost so I have to refresh them along with the graphic objects. This makes the refresh in case of resize very ugly.
I have chosen to display the graphics objects as a bmp in the BackgroundPicture
while textboxes are added with and Control.Add().



My goal was to avoid refreshing the graphic objects if not needed and keep the textboxes on the control.



Question: what is the best way to mix graphic objects and textboxes on same custom control in C#?



Thanks!!!

Provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. Also, you don't even state what GUI Toolkit you are using. This seems like Winforms but could be another exotic toolkit aswell...

please...check the question...I am not asking how to fix the code but rather about the best way to do something. It could be either by using System.Draw+Grphics or with some other tool. It is an open question for a specific problem.

Your question is much more unclear than you probably think. The term 'mixing' is totally confusing. Is it really about graphics and textboxes or is it about layout and fluent design? What does all textboxes seems to be lost even mean? - And you still haven't added the proper Tag, probably Winforms, so one can see it on the questions page. So, you see, quite a lot of reasons for even more downvotes..? - Here an image or two might actually be the best way to improve the question.

api-platform.com Unable to generate an IRI for the item of type

api-platform.com Unable to generate an IRI for the item of type I'm trying to setup my first api-platform instance and have run into some presumably noob questions around IDE. What i'm trying to do is setting up an register and reset entity in order to deal with registrations and password reminders from an app. And then have the entity's passed to a custom controller to do some checks, balances and mails afterwards (haven’t gotten around to that yet). But I keep running into this error when posting to my custom entities: { "@context": "/api/contexts/Error", "@type": "hydra:Error", "hydra:title": "An error occurred", "hydra:description": "Unable to generate an IRI for the item of type "AppXXXUserBundleEntityRegister"", "trace": [ { "namespace": "", "short_class": "", "c

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss. I cannot see why I would not be receving the emails so I would be very grateful for any help that could be given. I'm quite new to PHP so please be patient with me :) <?php use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; use PHPMailerPHPMailerException; $msg = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require 'phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/SMTP.php'; function sendemail ($to, $from, $body) { $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->setFrom($from); $mail->addAddress($to); $ma

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished?

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished? I have several graphics cards of the same manufacturer and same model and I want to distinguish them not only by the pcie socket they reside in but by some individual value I can read from the hardware. Is there such value and if so what would it be called and how could I access it? Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). (I copied this directly from docs.microsoft.com) $strComputer = "." $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_VideoC
