I.e leftmin =0
bottomin=0
topmin=maxheight valve of picturebox
topmax=0
rightmin=0
rightmax=max width of picturebox

how can i do this & play with it

pls help me

You can change the whole thing by doing this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Picture1.ScaleTop = Picture1.ScaleHeight
  Picture1.ScaleWidth = Picture1.ScaleWidth
  Picture1.ScaleHeight = -Picture1.ScaleHeight
End Sub

---

You just need to make a picture box on a form for that to work. You can test to see if it works by putting this in:

Code:

---

Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
  Cls
  Print X, Y
End Sub

---

Now you will see that 0,0 is the bottom left and that when you go up, so will the Y value.

when a file image i.e dxf image is uploaded in picture box then can the image points(0,0) coincide with the points(0,0) on picture box & when the image is zoom in zoom out the uploaede image on picturebox remain in first quadrant

How can this be done

I have put hte above line in form load
but when i load the image it showz x,y in -ve also

ARe u getting it pls reply

So I take it that you want to draw a picture so that the X, Y is the bottom left corner of the picture. I've made a simple function to do so.

Code:

---

Private Sub DrawPicture(Destination As PictureBox, Pic As Picture, X1, Y1)
  Destination.PaintPicture Pic, X1, Y1 - ScaleY(Pic.Height, vbHimetric, Destination.ScaleMode)
End Sub

---

This sub should do the job.

I'm not sure what you're going to be drawing this way but unless is makes sense in your case this isn't the best way. For drawing graphics, going from top,left corner is the easiest way of doing it and besides that it is the way everything works from vb's simple paintpicture to the bitblt api to directX to windows.
