I have a button in my WinForms app and I added an image and text to it. I aligned the text to right and wanted to align the Background image to left but found out that it is not possible.
Is there any way to do that?
I have also tried to set just Image on the button but that couldn't be resized in the Button Properties.
May someone help me solve this out? Thanks so much.
In case that it is not possible I would have to resize every image in mspaint.
This is the result (as Background):
I need the BackgroundImage align to left.
This is result as Image when using align (not possible to resize)
Use Image property to set your image (make sure it fits button height, you can change image size if you will open it from project resources folder)
Set ImageAlign to MiddleLeft
Set TextAlign to MiddleRight
Do not change anything else. I.e. TextImageRelation should be Overlay. Result:
Set these properties of Button.
ImageAlign to MiddleRight
TextImageRelation to ImageBeforeText
TextAlign as MiddleCenter
To have it resized on Button. See below:
Bitmap image = Bitmap.FromFile(oFile) as Bitmap;
Bitmap resized = new Bitmap(image, new Size(30, 30));
button1.Image = resized;
button1.Text = "Button";
button1.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
button1.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;
button1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
You can use the Image property instead of the BackgroundImage. You can set the align later using the ImageAlign property.

I'm trying to add .ico 48x48 image before text in WinForms button 87x30 size:
button1.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
button1.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.None;
button1.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom;
button1.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
button1.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;
button1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
Result is:
I'm trying to figure out, how to align image on the left side with text on related distance, like this:
edit:
button1.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;
button1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft; /// MiddleRight; // MiddleCenter;
button1.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight; /// MiddleLeft;
Result:
The background image property is like the operating system desktop background, it is a wallpaper, that can be stretched, adapted, repeated...
Therefore here you don't need to use BackgroundImage for a button icon style image associated to its text.
If you use the Image property and set alignments to left for it and right for text, all works fine:
Then you can adapt these alignments as well as width and height to the desired result depending on the image size and/or text size and length.
Also, as indicated by the duplicate I finally found, to simply center all, you can use the TextImageRelation and set it to TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText without changing alignments, and if necessary by increasing the height according to the size of the displayed image to have a clean result:
i create a panel and inside this panel i create a picture box. this have no default image. after a function i load a image und put it into this picturebox. the image was bigger as the panel and i want to scroll the image but the image draw only in the first area to see and if i scroll the image dont draw complete. how i can fix this ?
Image TreeImg = new Bitmap(imgPath);
maletreePictureBox.Width = TreeImg.Width;
maletreePictureBox.Height = TreeImg.Height;
maletreePictureBox.Image = TreeImg;
actionPanel.AutoScrollMinSize = new Size(TreeImg.Width, driverTreeImg.Height);
this is the result
Set the .Dock property of the maletreePictureBox to Fill.
Also it looks like your AutoScrollMinSize Height property is incorrect (driverTreeImg.Height instead of TreeImg.Height)
Im trying to create a button in C# with the image as the button, I don't really want to use a picture box as i Require the "Label" bit of the button as the text for the buttons aren't in the image, This is what it looks like
If anyone can help me fix that white frame it would be much appreciated, Thanks!
EDIT: I found what was causing it but still no fix :( The BackColor on the actual form is where the white is coming from but you can't set the BackColor of a form to Transparent :/
Your image must have transparent background. Also see #IAbstract's suggestion.
As I answered here to remove the border you should set the FlatAppearance.BorderColor to transparent. The whole code to remove completely the border looks like:
customButton.TabStop = false;
//it's the best thing set flatstyle to flat when dealing with a custom button
customButton.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
customButton.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0;
//set the border color to transparent by setting the alpha to 0 (it doesn't support Color.Transparent)
customButton.FlatAppearance.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0, 0);
I think a Background.Color = Transparent should fix it if WinForms.
Update
If you have set border and background properties to transparent, double check the white border to be transparent in the actual graphic?
I want to place an image in a panel, but I do not want it repeated according to the size of the panel.
What I did is this:
panel3.BackgroundImage = picture1;
However, picture1 is repeated several times, since the panel is much wider than the actual picture.
What I want is to display the picture in its original form only. I don't want it repeated.
How can I do this? Thanks
ImageLayout.Stretch; //make Image Fill the Control
ImageLayout.None; //just put the image without any changes on size
ImageLayout.Center; //adjust location of image to be centered
ImageLayout.Tile; //repeat image
ImageLayout.Zoom; //re size image to be all viewed in the control (without stretch)
try
panel3.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
this will stop repeatition and will stretch image to whole panel. If you don't want image to stretch Try ImageLayout.Center
You can set BackgroundImageLayout to Center.
I have a button and I want image (.ico file) and text to exist on it. My problem is that I want button's height to be small, but I can't manage to "shrink" the image as much as I want to. The result is to have a piece of image visible on the button and not the hole image. At the image property the image size is fixed (48x48) and the option is grey so I can't change it. How can I make this image to be 16x16?
Try buttonname.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch; or change this property in designer.
My solution was to use an ImageList control. You can define the size the images are to be displayed (e.g. I set the ImgageList ImageSize property to 16x16) and then set the button.ImageList and ImageIndex properties instead of the Image property.
I think if you use the Paint event of the Button you can draw any image in any size that you want. if it isn't possible to re-size the image you can do that in this way.
If you have the Image with size 16*16 then set these Button properties at design time.
1) TextImageRelation - ImageBeforeText
2) TextAlign - MiddleRight
3) ImageAlign - MiddleLeft
4) Set the
ImageList imageList = new ImageList();
imageList.ImageSize = new Size(30, 30); // specify size you want
If you are using DevExpress Simple Button, you should set BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom and set backcolor of button to Transparent (from Appereance->Backcolor)
