Checking if an image is loaded.

[jrtiberius]

What I'm doing is a having scrollbar cycle thru a group of images in a picturebox. Then I have a group of buttons, which change their background image to meet the image displayed in the picture box when they are clicked. In this way the buttons can then form a puzzle. If all the buttons have the right background images, they have solved the puzzle. Which is why I am looking to do an if/then statement to check which image is loaded in each button?

I can also do this with “on click” and load images into pictureboxs instead of buttons. Preloading this image as the background image to button1 does not throw an error, but it likewise does not produce the message box on click.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

        If Button1.BackgroundImage Is My.Resources.image1 Then
            MessageBox.Show("hello")
        End If
        'or
        If Button1.BackgroundImage.Equals(My.Resources.image1) Then
            MessageBox.Show("hello")
        End If
        'or
        If Picturebox1.image Is My.Resources.image1 Then
            MessageBox.Show("hello")
        End If

    End Sub
End Class

Sorry bro, I really don't understand your reply. The only way I can think to do it is the methods I've shown here. Can you give me an example of what your talking about?

So if I'm reading this correctly, the question is simply how to compare whether two image resources (be they buttons or whatever) in Vb.Net refer to the same image. Right?
