In Visual Studio, how to solve Button image Quality? - image

I am using Visual Studio 2019 to build an Excel Addin with a Custom Task Pane.
In the User Control used as Custom Task Pane, i added imlNavigation(ImageList)
I tried to generate transparent Images PNG with size [512,512] and attached it with the Buttons, but the Quality is very poor
I tried to generate transparent Images PNG [16,16] but no changes.
Below is the screenshot. And even the transparency is not good. We still see those white colors around the pictures:
Can anyone please suggest me what exactly I shall do as I am still new in Visual Studio?
Where could I get transparent Icons/Images to use for my Buttons?
What Extension shall I use if necessary to get them easily attached with my Buttons?
Where do I fail and I should still learn regarding the buttons?
I am willing to learn and to follow you instructions and suggestions. Thank you in advance!

May be instead of using image list you can use Image Resources?
Click on the Button
On your property click on the assist button of image
From the Select Resource Dialog box, click on Project Resource File
Import you pictures (Png transparent) better 25-25px or 20-20px based on the size of your button. It accepts transparent images as well
This should improve the quality of your button images.

Extension to support Inline image preview?

Would like to ask if someone knows of any extension for Visual Studio version2019/2022 capable of displaying an inline image preview upon hovering a picture file.
Similar to this extension for vscode:
While searching I have found some, but these you usually need to click on some kind of button or window to create the image, instead of displaying it under the mouse.

Android Studio: Is it possible to automatically upload images from Gallery?

I am hoping to automatically display selected images from Gallery, but I have no luck to find how to automatically display images from Gallery without any selection from users. (In other words, users will simply see the selected images displayed in the screen rather than seeing Gallery to select images to see.)
Thank you for your help and time in advance!!

Image edit filter in xamarin forms

I am developing a project (kinda like CamScanner) where I take an image and on the fly crop it and edit it and save it to my device memory. I chose to do it in xamarin forms because of 1 source maintenance. I have managed to take the image using Xam.Plugin.Media and crop that image using ImageCropper.Forms plugins. Now, I cant seem to find any good plugins that can edit my image (Filters like Black and White, Magic Color, Grayscale). Can anyone guide me to choose which plugin is the best there is for the filter? I am focusing mainly on Android and iOS at the moment.
Thanks in advance
As of today, there is no plugin available to apply color filters for Xamarin.Forms. The closest thing would be using SkiaSharp Color Filters and define you own Color Matrices, which is not quite user friendly.

Using CxImage in VC++ 2008 MDI application

Im new to cximage so i need help. Im building as MDI project in which i need cximage functionalities.

How to get active windows hwnd and hdc.
this is the requirement:
Drawing App(Image Viewer and editing) using cximage and Mdi
First of all, there should be a provision to open an image (any format i.e. tif, jpg, bmp…..).
The user should be able to do operations like rotate, zoom negate etc. The changes should be saved after prompting.
The user should be able to draw standard shapes like rectangle, square etc on top of the image.
Should be able to fill color in the shapes drawn. Save that as well.
Also user should be given a provision to change an image format(i.e. may be from jpg to tif and so on) and save.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1300/CxImage itself is a good tutorial and it has sample project as well.
see the tutorial below to which explains how to get active windows handle in MDI app:

Is there an easy way to recreate the WinForms layout experience at runtime for user positioning of controls

When laying out a WinForm in Visual Studio you get the ability to resize and align your controls very easily with drag handles and border alignment hints.
I'd like to do the same with a runtime control to enable the user to position an image on a page.
For example, if the user has a photo and they want to place it as a background on the desktop I'd like the control to help them move and size the photo thumbnail in a mini desktop visual.
I can do all of this, but my real question is, does anyone know of a way to inherit from the standard WinForms layout editor so that I can choose to use the nice docking, alignment hints and control resizing without coding it all again?
Thanks in advance
Ryan
I don't know about easy, but you can host the actual winforms designer in your own applications without too many problems.. See here.
