Adding Logo or Image to Windows form?

Hi All,

I was trying to Add image to a windows form as shown below
image

# Add Image
self.PictureBox1 = PictureBox()
self.PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage
self.PictureBox1.Image = "Libraries\Pictures\\sample.png" 
self.PictureBox1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D
self.PictureBox1.Size = Size(40,40)
self.PictureBox1.Location = Point(200,300)

below is an example and original code from Danny Bentley

import clr

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
clr.AddReference("System.Drawing")
import System

from System.Windows.Forms import *
from System.Drawing import *

# Create a class form 
class CreateWindow(Form):
    def __init__(self):
        #Create the form
        self.Name = "Create Window"
        self.Text = "Create Window"
        self.Size = Size(500, 150)
        self.CenterToScreen()
        self.values = []
        
        #Create label for sheet name
        labelSheetName = Label(Text = "Sheet Name")
        labelSheetName.Parent = self
        labelSheetName.Location = Point(30,20)

        #Create label for sheet number 
        labelSheetNumber = Label(Text = "Sheet Number")
        labelSheetNumber.Parent = self
        labelSheetNumber.Location = Point(30,50)
        
        #Create Textbox for Sheet Name
        self.textboxSheetName = TextBox()
        self.textboxSheetName.Parent = self
        self.textboxSheetName.Text = "Sheet Name"
        self.textboxSheetName.Location = Point(150,20)
        self.textboxSheetName.Width = 150
        
        #Create Textbox for Sheet Number
        self.textboxSheetNumber = TextBox()
        self.textboxSheetNumber.Parent = self
        self.textboxSheetNumber.Text = "Sheet Number"
        self.textboxSheetNumber.Location = Point(150,50)
        self.textboxSheetNumber.Width = 150
        
        #Create button 
        button = Button()
        button.Parent = self
        button.Text = "Ok"
        button.Location = Point(400,60)
        #Register Event
        button.Click += self.ButtonClicked


    def ButtonClicked(self, sender, args):
        if sender.Click:
            self.values.append(self.textboxSheetName.Text)
            self.values.append(self.textboxSheetNumber.Text)
            self.Close()

if IN[0]:
    form = CreateWindow()
    Application.Run(form)

    OUT = form.values

Thanks.

Try looking at the Data-Shapes package, it has a parametric UI series of nodes that you can use or inspect to create your own code(there is also a node to add an image so you can try and copy some of that code)


The code in the “UI.MultipleInputForm ++” is quite long but you can copy and paste it in another text editor to search for terms like “image”.

thanks yeah, im trying but cant get it to work

    # Add Image
self._pictureBox1 = PictureBox()
self._pictureBox1.ImageLocation = "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Dynamo\\Dynamo Revit\\1.3\\packages\\Data\\extra\\a.png"
self._pictureBox1.Location = _Point(163, 199)
self._pictureBox1.Name = "pictureBox1"
self._pictureBox1.Size = _Size(100, 50)
self._pictureBox1.SizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom
self.Controls.Add(_pictureBox1)
		


I tried adding this line of code:

self.Controls.Add(self.PictureBox1)

Looking at the datashapes file I found the controls.add method
image

Thanks!but i got an unexpected indent

I too was getting that error from your code, the indents are probably a little messed up:
image opened in word

Try selecting the space between each pair of lines regarding the PictureBox, delete the space then press enter
image

hi can you drop your code? im still getting unexpected indents even if i retype it…when i remove the adding picturebox the code is working,…Many Thanks.
