Add an Image from an URL in a ListView

Nawiy0

Hi,

I make a program to search images, I want to add an Image to an item from ListView.

How can I do?

I make an example: http://imgur.com/PO5zwlZ

Hi Nawiy0,

here is a small implementation, it basically uses a custom service that services the results (SearchFlicker in this case) and a Downloading mechanisme that uses the HttpWebRequest / HttpWebResponse method (that would be the HttpDownload class)

It then adds the images to an imagelist, which is attached to the ListView.

Here is a small screenshot

and the code of the mainform

Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Public Class frmSearchForm

    Protected searcher As New SearchFlicker()

    Public Delegate Sub SetSearchResultsHandler(imgList As ImageList, lvItems As ListViewItem())

    Public Delegate Sub AddListItemHandler(img As Image, lvItem As ListViewItem)

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Protected Sub SetSearchResults(imgList As ImageList, lvItems As ListViewItem())
        If lvSearchResults.InvokeRequired Then
            lvSearchResults.Invoke(New SetSearchResultsHandler(AddressOf SetSearchResults), imgList, lvItems)
            Return
        End If
        lvSearchResults.Items.Clear()
        lvSearchResults.LargeImageList = imgList
        If lvItems IsNot Nothing Then
            lvSearchResults.Items.AddRange(lvItems)
        End If
    End Sub

    Protected Sub AddListItem(img As Image, lvItem As ListViewItem)
        If lvSearchResults.InvokeRequired Then
            lvSearchResults.Invoke(New AddListItemHandler(AddressOf AddListItem), img, lvItem)
            Return
        End If
        lvSearchResults.LargeImageList.Images.Add(img)
        lvSearchResults.Items.Add(lvItem)
    End Sub

    Protected Async Function DoSearchAsync(term As String) As Task
        Dim imgList As New ImageList

        imgList.ImageSize = New Size(192, 128)
        imgList.ColorDepth = ColorDepth.Depth32Bit
        imgList.TransparentColor = Color.Transparent
        Dim imageIndex As Integer = 0

        SetSearchResults(imgList, Nothing)
        Threading.Thread.Sleep(250)

        Dim results = Await searcher.SearchAsync(txtSearchTerm.Text)
        For Each item As FlickerResult In results
            Dim downloader As New HttpDownload()

            Dim result As HttpDownloadResult = Await downloader.DownloadFromAsync(item.ThumbImage).ConfigureAwait(False)
            If result.HasError Then
                Continue For
            End If

            Dim lvi As New ListViewItem(item.Title, imageIndex)
            AddListItem(Image.FromFile(result.FileName), lvi)
            imageIndex = imageIndex + 1
        Next
    End Function

    Private Async Sub btnSearch_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
        btnSearch.Enabled = False
        Await DoSearchAsync(txtSearchTerm.Text)
        btnSearch.Enabled = True
    End Sub
End Class
