如何在vb.net中使用滚轮放大Picturebox

Question

I'm using a set of graphics overlays to draw an image inside a picturebox control using the graphics object. I have placed the Picturebox inside a Panel and set the Panel to autoscroll. What I need to know how to do now is use the Mouse scroll wheel to blow up the size of the picture in small increments while maintaining the quality of the image drawn. Anyone know how to do this?

When I update with Abdias Software code below, the picture starts out smaller when Sizemode property of picturebox is set to StretchImage. I have a pan feature with the mouse that might be interfering with keeping this code from working properly. Any Ideas? What could be keeping this from working properly?

SOLVED

This code worked much better for me than any of the two below:

Private Sub PictureBox_MouseWheel(sender As System.Object,
                             e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseWheel
    If e.Delta <> 0 Then
        If e.Delta <= 0 Then
            If PictureBox1.Width < 500 Then Exit Sub 'minimum 500?
        Else
            If PictureBox1.Width > 2000 Then Exit Sub 'maximum 2000?
        End If

        PictureBox1.Width += CInt(PictureBox1.Width * e.Delta / 1000)
        PictureBox1.Height += CInt(PictureBox1.Height * e.Delta / 1000)
    End If

End Sub

Answer 1

You can try this code. It assumes there exist a Panel1 and PictureBox1 on the form ( PictureBox1 inside the Panel1 with Panel1.AutoScroll = True ) with an image set on the PictureBox .

The code doesn't calculate center point of the zoom, but you can use the e.Location (or eX/eY) for that.

Update - here is the new code that is (should be) more robust than the previous (see bottom):

Public Class Form1

    Private _originalSize As Size = Nothing
    Private _scale As Single = 1
    Private _scaleDelta As Single = 0.0005

    Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseWheel

        'if very sensitive mouse, change 0.00005 to something even smaller   
        _scaleDelta = Math.Sqrt(PictureBox1.Width * PictureBox1.Height) * 0.00005

        If e.Delta < 0 Then
            _scale -= _scaleDelta
        ElseIf e.Delta > 0 Then
            _scale += _scaleDelta
        End If

        If e.Delta <> 0 Then _
        PictureBox1.Size = New Size(CInt(Math.Round(_originalSize.Width * _scale)), _
                                    CInt(Math.Round(_originalSize.Height * _scale)))

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

        'init this from here or a method depending on your needs
        If PictureBox1.Image IsNot Nothing Then
            PictureBox1.Size = Panel1.Size
            _originalSize = Panel1.Size
        End If

    End Sub

End Class

Old code - works, but is unstable on large changes probably due to rounding errors in Scale():

Public Class Form1

    Private _scale As New SizeF(1, 1)
    Private _scaleDelta As New SizeF(0.01, 0.01) '1% for each wheel tick

    Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(sender As System.Object, 
                                e As MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseWheel
'count incrementally 
        _scale.Height = 1
        _scale.Width = 1

        If e.Delta < 0 Then
            _scale += _scaleDelta
        ElseIf e.Delta > 0 Then
            _scale -= _scaleDelta
        End If

        If e.Delta <> 0 Then _
        PictureBox1.Scale(_scale)

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, 
                           e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

        'init picturebox size = image size
        If PictureBox1.Image IsNot Nothing Then
            PictureBox1.Scale(New SizeF(1, 1))
            PictureBox1.Size = PictureBox1.Image.Size
        End If

    End Sub

End Class

Answer 2

basically, you need an image viewer. I used this before: http://cyotek.com/blog/creating-a-scrollable-and-zoomable-image-viewer-in-csharp-part-4

it works great. however, it is an user control.

for picturebox, you need create graphics from the image, and then interpolation it. here is an example: http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=196

I did not check this one, but looks like will work.

I noticed that there's an undesirable effect with the StretchImage SizeMode that ignores the image ratio. I just added a width and height ratio variable to include in the "zoom" algorithm. See _ratWidth and _ratHeight in code below.

Public Class Form1

Private _originalSize As Size = Nothing
Private _scale As Single = 1
Private _scaleDelta As Single = 0.0005
Private _ratWidth, _ratHeight As Double

Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseWheel

    'if very sensitive mouse, change 0.00005 to something even smaller   
    _scaleDelta = Math.Sqrt(PictureBox1.Width * PictureBox1.Height) * 0.00005

    If e.Delta < 0 Then
        _scale -= _scaleDelta
    ElseIf e.Delta > 0 Then
        _scale += _scaleDelta
    End If

    If e.Delta <> 0 Then _
    PictureBox1.Size = New Size(CInt(Math.Round((_originalSize.Width * _ratWidth) * _scale)), _
                                CInt(Math.Round((_originalSize.Height * _ratHeight) * _scale)))

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

    'init this from here or a method depending on your needs
    If PictureBox1.Image IsNot Nothing Then
        _ratWidth = PictureBox1.Image.Width / PictureBox1.Image.Height
        _ratHeight = PirctureBox1.Image.Height / PictureBox1.Image.Width
        PictureBox1.Size = Panel1.Size
        _originalSize = Panel1.Size
    End If
End Sub
End Class
