Convert array of integers to bitmap and display in PictureBox (windows Forms C++/CLR)

To convert an array of integers to a bitmap and display it in a PictureBox control in a Windows Forms application using C++/CLR, you can follow these steps:
Create a new Windows Forms application project in Visual Studio.
Design the form with a PictureBox control. Set its
SizeMode
property to "StretchImage" to ensure the image fills the PictureBox.Add the necessary headers to the top of your main form code file:
cpp#include <Windows.h>
#include <GdiPlus.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "GdiPlus.lib")
- Add the following code to the form's code file to define the necessary functions for bitmap creation and conversion:
cppusing namespace System;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Drawing::Imaging;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
Bitmap^ ConvertIntArrayToBitmap(array<int>^ intArray, int width, int height)
{
Bitmap^ bitmap = gcnew Bitmap(width, height, PixelFormat::Format32bppArgb);
BitmapData^ bitmapData = bitmap->LockBits(Rectangle(0, 0, width, height), ImageLockMode::WriteOnly, PixelFormat::Format32bppArgb);
IntPtr scan0 = bitmapData->Scan0;
int stride = bitmapData->Stride;
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
{
int* dest = (int*)((byte*)scan0.ToPointer() + y * stride);
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
{
int colorValue = intArray[y * width + x];
dest[x] = colorValue;
}
}
bitmap->UnlockBits(bitmapData);
return bitmap;
}
void DisplayBitmapInPictureBox(Bitmap^ bitmap, PictureBox^ pictureBox)
{
if (pictureBox->Image != nullptr)
pictureBox->Image->Dispose();
pictureBox->Image = bitmap;
}
- In your form's code, you can now use the functions
ConvertIntArrayToBitmap
andDisplayBitmapInPictureBox
to convert an array of integers to a bitmap and display it in the PictureBox control:
cpparray<int>^ intArray = { 0xFF0000FF, 0xFF00FF00, 0xFFFF0000 }; // Example array of integers (RGBA colors)
int width = 3; // Width of the image
int height = 1; // Height of the image
Bitmap^ bitmap = ConvertIntArrayToBitmap(intArray, width, height);
DisplayBitmapInPictureBox(bitmap, pictureBox1); // Replace pictureBox1 with the actual name of your PictureBox control
Make sure to replace pictureBox1
with the actual name of your PictureBox control.
With these steps, you can convert an array of integers representing colors to a bitmap and display it in a PictureBox control in a Windows Forms application using C++/CLR.
