We are now going to add the ability to perform basic image manipulation. The .NET Framework image object contains a method that will flip and/or rotate the image it represents - this makes our job relatively easy.
We'll add event handlers to respond to the options available in the image menu. All of these event handlers check that an image is loaded, call the "RotateFlip" method the image object that represents the photo then calls the ReDrawPhoto function so that the modified image is displayed. All functions pass coordinates of the centre of the image to the ReDrawPhoto function. Add the following to your code:
Private Sub ImageFlipVeritcal(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles mnuImageFlipVertical.Click
If Not picPhoto.Image Is Nothing Then
picPhoto.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX)
ReDrawPhoto(CInt(pnlPhoto.Width / 2), CInt(pnlPhoto.Height / 2))
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ImageFlipHorizontal(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ) _
Handles mnuImageFlipHorizontal.Click
If Not picPhoto.Image Is Nothing Then
picPhoto.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY)
ReDrawPhoto(CInt(pnlPhoto.Width / 2), CInt(pnlPhoto.Height / 2))
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ImageRotateLeft(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ) _
Handles mnuImageRotateLeft.Click
If Not picPhoto.Image Is Nothing Then
picPhoto.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate270FlipNone)
ReDrawPhoto(CInt(pnlPhoto.Width / 2), CInt(pnlPhoto.Height / 2))
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ImageRotateRight(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ) _
Handles mnuImageRotateRight.Click
If Not picPhoto.Image Is Nothing Then
picPhoto.Image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone)
ReDrawPhoto(CInt(pnlPhoto.Width / 2), CInt(pnlPhoto.Height / 2))
End If
End Sub
In Visual Basic.NET event handlers can handle events from more than one source. The "Handles" statements in all of the event handlers above could be extended to also handle events from another source, for example a toolbar or context menu.
