Scroll Bar zoom HELP!

[briano74]

Hi. I am drawing lines in a picture box using a draw function picture1.line and and trying to zoom in on the picture box using a vertical scroll bar.

I am going to use the scroll bar to change the scale of the picture i.e

picture1.scale. At present my my scale is

picture1.scale (-350 / 2.5, 340 / 2.5)-(350 / 2.5, 340 / 2.5)

My code for the scroll bar so far is

Private Sub VScroll_Chang ()

Dim SmallChange As String
Dim LargeChange As String

SmallChange = 2
LargeChange = 5

If VScroll = LargeChange Then

Picture1.Scale (-350 / LargeChange, 340 / LargeChange)-(350 / LargeChange, 340 / LargeChange)

ElseIf VScroll = SmallChange Then

Picture1.Scale (-350 / SmallChange, 340 / SmallChange)-(350 / SmallChange, 340 / SmallChange)

End If

End Sub

Can anyone help as it does nothing when I move the scrollbar?

Basically the picturebox is taking points from an array and drawing them in the picturebox.

Thread moved from CodeBank forum (which is for you to post your code examples, not questions)

If you look at the help for .Scale you will see that it is not related to what you are trying to do - what it does is re-define the coordinate system (which affects the position of things you do until you next set the .Scale).


To zoom either re-draw everything (with sizes/positions altered appropriately), or create a second picturebox and use .PaintPicture to copy at the size you want.
