Windows Forms PictureBox y Group

Christhian · November 23, 2021, 4:05pm

Hello I have been trying to add an image and a group in forms but unfortunately I have not been able to reach a solution, can someone help me with that

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

from System.Reflection import Assembly
from System.Windows.Forms import Form
from System.Drawing import Icon

iconFilename = r'D:\ICONOS\5.ico'
icon = Icon(iconFilename)

form = Form()
form.Text = "Hello World"
form.Icon = icon
form.Show()

OUT = form

Hi,
you need to use this method
you can also store your image as base64 directly in your script

import sys
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *

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

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

class Form9(Form):
	def __init__(self, base64Str):
		self._base64Str = base64Str
		self.InitializeComponent()
	
	def InitializeComponent(self):
		self._pictureBox1 = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox()
		self._pictureBox1.BeginInit()
		self.SuspendLayout()
		# 
		# pictureBox1
		# 
		picTop = System.Convert.FromBase64String(self._base64Str)
		self._imageTop = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(System.IO.MemoryStream(picTop))
		self._imageTopResize = Bitmap(self._imageTop, Size(100, 100))
		self._pictureBox1.Location = System.Drawing.Point(45, 67)
		self._pictureBox1.Name = "pictureBox1"
		self._pictureBox1.Size = System.Drawing.Size(100, 100)
		self._pictureBox1.TabIndex = 0
		self._pictureBox1.TabStop = False
		self._pictureBox1.Image = self._imageTopResize
		# 
		# Form9
		# 
		self.ClientSize = System.Drawing.Size(284, 261)
		self.Controls.Add(self._pictureBox1)
		self.Name = "Form9"
		self.Text = "Form9"
		self._pictureBox1.EndInit()
		self.ResumeLayout(False)
		
objForm = Form9(IN[0])
objForm.ShowDialog()

really surprising, I thank you very much for the solution

@c.poupin I tried to add a couple of texts and a button but it generates an error, could you tell me that I am doing wrong

# Charger les bibliothèques DesignScript et Standard Python

class Form9(Form):
	def __init__(self, imgpath, valueA, valueB):
		self._imgpath = imgpath
		self.InitializeComponent()
		self._valueInitA = str(valueA)
		self._valueInitB = str(valueB)
		
		# texBox
		
		self.textbox = TextBox()
		self.textbox.Text = self._valueInitA
		self.textbox.Location = Point(25, 25)
		self.textbox.Width = 150
		
		# texBox1
		self.textbox1 = TextBox()

		self.button1.Text = 'Press Me'
		self.button1.Location = Point(25, 125)
		
		self.AcceptButton = self.button1

		self.Controls.Add(self.textbox)
		self.Controls.Add(self.textbox1)
		self.Controls.Add(self.button1)

		self.values = []
		self.button1.Click += self.update

		self._imageTopResize = Bitmap(self._imageTop, Size(100, 100))
		self._pictureBox1.Location = System.Drawing.Point(45, 67)
		self._pictureBox1.Name = "pictureBox1"
		self._pictureBox1.Size = System.Drawing.Size(100, 100)
		self._pictureBox1.TabIndex = 0
		self._pictureBox1.TabStop = False
		self._pictureBox1.Image = self._imageTopResize

		self.Controls.Add(self._pictureBox1)
		self.Name = "Form9"
		self.Text = "Form9"
		self._pictureBox1.EndInit()
		self.ResumeLayout(False)
		
	def update(self, sender, event):
		for control in self.Controls:
			if isinstance(control, TextBox):
				self.values.append(control.Text)
		self.Close()


objForm = Form9(IN[0])
objForm = SimpleTextBoxForm(IN[1], IN[2])
objForm.ShowDialog()

the code that I am trying to incorporate is the following

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

from System.Drawing import Point
from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Button, Form, Label, TextBox

class SimpleTextBoxForm(Form):
    def __init__(self, valueA, valueB):
        self._valueInitA = str(valueA)
        self._valueInitB = str(valueB) 

        self.Width = 220
        self.Height = 200

        self.textbox = TextBox()
        self.textbox.Text = self._valueInitA
        self.textbox.Location = Point(25, 25)
        self.textbox.Width = 150

        self.textbox1 = TextBox()
        self.textbox1.Text = self._valueInitB
        self.textbox1.Location = Point(25, 55)
        self.textbox1.Width = 150

        self.button1 = Button()
        self.button1.Text = 'Press Me'
        self.button1.Location = Point(25, 125)
        
        self.AcceptButton = self.button1

        self.Controls.Add(self.textbox)
        self.Controls.Add(self.textbox1)
        self.Controls.Add(self.button1)
        
        self.values = []
        self.button1.Click += self.update

    def update(self, sender, event):
        for control in self.Controls:

Hello @Christhian
if you are a beginner on python or on Winform, I do not recommend copying and pasting a piece of code,
(I made this mistake a long time ago when I started in Lisp …)

Here are some interesting resources with IronPython and Winform

I will publish the solution later

Christhian · November 24, 2021, 10:20pm

@c.poupin You are absolutely right, I am just starting with python and winform, thank you very much for these guides they will be very helpful, an additional query you know where I can find a guide on the Civil 3d API with python.

I will be waiting for the solution, thank you very much

Christhian · November 29, 2021, 4:10am

@c.poupin please do not forget to place the solution

c.poupin · November 29, 2021, 11:25am

if I did not answer immediately, it is so that you try for yourself with the links given above

here an example

import sys
import clr
import System
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Forms')
clr.AddReference('System.Drawing')

from System.Drawing import Point, Image, Bitmap, Size
from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Button, Form, Label, TextBox

    def __init__(self, valueA, valueB, imgpath):
        self._imgpath = imgpath
        self._valueInitA = str(valueA)
        self._valueInitB = str(valueB) 
        self._pictureBox1 = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox()
        self._pictureBox1.BeginInit()

        self.Width = 220
        self.Height = 300

        self.textbox = TextBox()
        self.textbox.Text = self._valueInitA
        self.textbox.Location = Point(25, 25)
        self.textbox.Width = 150

        self.textbox1 = TextBox()
        self.textbox1.Text = self._valueInitB

        self.textbox1.Width = 150

        self._imageTop = Image.FromFile(self._imgpath)
        self._imageTopResize = Bitmap(self._imageTop, Size(100, 100))
        self._pictureBox1.Location = System.Drawing.Point(45, 90)

        self._pictureBox1.TabIndex = 0
        self._pictureBox1.TabStop = False
        self._pictureBox1.Image = self._imageTopResize

        self.button1 = Button()
        self.button1.Text = 'Press Me'
        self.button1.Location = Point(25, 230)
        
        self.AcceptButton = self.button1

        self.Controls.Add(self.textbox)
        self.Controls.Add(self.textbox1)
        self.Controls.Add(self.button1)
        self.Controls.Add(self._pictureBox1)

        self.values = []
        self.button1.Click += self.update
        self._pictureBox1.EndInit()

    def update(self, sender, event):
        for control in self.Controls:
            if isinstance(control, TextBox):
              self.values.append(control.Text)
        self.Close()

form.ShowDialog()

OUT = form.values

@c.poupin excellent thank you very much, i will
I will take a look at the guides again and try to take a python course to understand it better

Update to Cpython3 the above code doesn’t work in Cpython3 Environment and I have edited the code as attached below to work. Thanks
