[Help]PictureBox Frame [Solved]

I have a picture in a picturebox. How do i draw a red border around it. Like a frame or something.

Use the square option? Its in toolbox, at the bottom
In shapes.
There should be line, ellipse and square i think.

ilikewater is correct. let me know if that doesnt work, i have a code based way

if ilikewater solution doesn't work, use this: (this is C#, sry i dont know VB

)

Code:

Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)pictureBox.Image;

for (int x = 0; x < bitmap.Width; x += 1) // horizontal lines
{
     bitmap.SetPixel(x, 0, Color.Red); // top line
     bitmap.SetPixel(x, bitmap.Height - 1, Color.Red); // bottom line
}
for (int y = 0; y < bitmap.Height; y += 1) // vertical lines
{
     bitmap.SetPixel(0, y, Color.Red); // left line
     bitmap.SetPixel(bitmap.Width - 1, y, Color.Red); // right line
}

pictureBox.Image = (Image)bitmap;

this will change the border lines of the Picture Box image to red.

Do it manually with paint.net or photoshop.

Huh? Do you know what we're talking about??

pictureBox.Image = (Image)bitmap;

this will change the border lines of the Picture Box image to red.

Code:

Dim bitmap As Bitmap = DirectCast(pictureBox.Image, Bitmap)
For x As Integer = 0 To bitmap.Width - 1
    ' horizontal lines
    bitmap.SetPixel(x, 0, Color.Red)
    ' top line
        ' bottom line
    bitmap.SetPixel(x, bitmap.Height - 1, Color.Red)
Next
For y As Integer = 0 To bitmap.Height - 1
    ' vertical lines
    bitmap.SetPixel(0, y, Color.Red)
    ' left line
        ' right line
    bitmap.SetPixel(bitmap.Width - 1, y, Color.Red)
Next
pictureBox.Image = DirectCast(bitmap, Image)

i get *********ence exception.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

So... what event did you put this code under??

nvm. i fixed it.

i placed a picturebox into another picturebox and change the backcolor of the second picturebox. works fine.
