I need to be able to raise different types of audio notifications to the user. I need an "ok" and an "error" type sounds, I was hoping to be able to raise a simple beep and a critical stop type sound but I can only find the Beep() command which doesn't allow for differing sounds. Is there a library that does what I need or will I need to roll my own using the system wavs.
View 3 RepliesI'm developing a standslone system for my school project. I'm developing an audio management system which allow user to add audio files itself into database together with the audio information such as artist name and album year. I just started it few days ago and face some problems.. my song in the playlist wont continue to play after 1 finished and i need some idea on how to store the audio files into database ... in blob types may be?
Heres the screenshot and codes

I have done this the other way many times as it makes sense (the page knows about the control as it has been added to the page and can handle the 'child' event)
Is it possible to do it the other way? I think not as the control doesn't know what page it is going to be on
The reason i ask this is that I have a modal popup on the page to ask users to login, and it is only when the user has logged in that I want my user control to go away and execute some code but I am not too sure how to tell the control this has happend?

View 3 RepliesI am new to vb.net and I have looked at other topics. I cannot find the answer I need. OK I have a combobox named cboRaceDesc and five checkboxes (CkRaceAfricanAmerican, ChkRaceAmerican Indian, ckRaceAsian, ckRacePacificIslander, and ckRaceWhite). I was going to post an image, but I cannot.cboRaceDesc has two options...Hispanic and Other. If the user selects Other then they have to choose one of the five checkboxes or it will raise an exception when the record is being saved. I am assuming I would generate the code under the "save" button. I know I need to gather the following information in my code:
If cboRaceDesc.SelectedValue = Other Then
<I am not sure how to code the logic regarding the checkboxes>
<I know I need to use multiple else/else if statements>
<I know towards the end I would generate the exception>
End
Can anyone help me fill in the blanks or point me in the right direction?

View 2 RepliesI'm a VB6 programmer who was forced to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727. I am trying to write a call-back which will intercept a Windows message for when our USB HID device is plugged or unplugged. We have a custom .dll which handles the majority of the HID interface. I just need to call a few API's to connect to the device. I can connect and communicate.
I am looking at USB Complete Third Edition. The code examples do not compile. I'm unsure if this is because of the .NET version 2 or the 2005 dialog of VB. I cannot resolve "StructLayout..." statements, but the program appears to be working without them. I cannot get any "Marshal." statements to compile, which is where I am finding it difficult to get around.

Although OnDeviceChange() is being called six times, both IF statements fail. m.msg is 0x219, which is Device Change. m.WParm is always 7, m.lParm is always 0. And, this is where I'm stuck. m.lParm should be a pointer which gets me to the device path? Don't know what 7 is.
So, maybe I'm not registered to receive the proper messages from the device (or I'm looking in the wrong place). The missing step might be to call the RegisterDeviceNotification() API. This book is telling me to use frmMy.Handle declared globally as Friend frmMy As frmUSB - that gives me a null reference runtime error, so I swapped in Me.Handle for the first parameter to RegisterDeviceNotification(). It likes that. But, then it has heartburn with the buffer pointer - not so easy to resolve in Visual Basic. The call wants a LONG. I have DevBroadcastDeviceInterfaceBuffer, which the book says to use Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Size) and Size is Marshal.Sizeof(DevBroadcastDeviceInterface). Neither Marshal statement compiles and I'm not sure if it was removed in this version of .NET? Anyone? I really don't need a dynamically allocated buffer. This is quickie VB app for a single USB device.
Can anyone tell me how far down the rabbit hole I am and what I'm missing. I can tell when something changes to some USB device. I have a handle to that device supplied to me by a custom API library - probably is the HID handle.
How can I setup to receive a message when my HID USB device is unplugged or plugged in?
want my application to trigger audio files when the user clicks a word/sentence in a label, and show a tooltip on mouse hover. I use VB. I tried using TTS (SAPI 3.5), but can not know which language the user's operating system will have. Also, I was advise to use pre-recorded sound wav or mp3. I created the audio files, but am not able to link/connect/call.

View 3 RepliesWell I had a thread going that branched out to this topic, so rather completely veering off the main topic there, I felt creating a new thread was adequate.So as the title says, I'm trying to create a user-defined type. It's not a simple type at that but a user here had showed me a way to fix all my problems. That was to create a type BigDecimal. Which my initial thought was to utilize the BigInteger type. Being that the Integer Part, and Fractional parts would be split off into two variables, both BigIntegers. Which would be combined at the end as a "decimal". However I have many many questions see that this is my first attempt at truly creating a type of my own. So as of right now I'm basically swinging in the dark here.

In a VB.NET Web Site, the User Types syntax coloring doesn't work. What are potential causes of this? It seems to not understand the difference between a "User Type" and an "Identifier."
Note: C# works as expected.

View 7 RepliesI have a database application developed around Access with VBA,I have used the Speech SDK and developed an application that in conjunction with MSCOMM 6.0 library calls into a remote IVR system.It sends in the credentials and queries information in response to that IVR's verbal requests. All seems successfull except for one problem;I'm using a shared SR engine and its using the system microphone as its audio input, this in turn gets the sound from the speakers which are routed to the telephone line through the modem. Of course this has a number of disadvantages - noise added to the sound from the environment and sound quality degredation as well as speaker volume dependency.
I would like the SR engine to take its audio input from the modem in paralell with the sound that goes to the speakers (so we can listen in to the call as well). This means that I must route the system audio output to the SR engine audio input. It seems that I must use an InProc SR instance - however in VBA that type is not recognized - since the shared SR uses the microphone as input by default. there is some statement to the effect that it is difficult in Microsoft's Help file. I'm unable to set the SR audio input to the modem output stream in VBA.As needed I can accomplish the C++ interface using an ActiveX object or a DLL to expose the missing API to VBA?
I have a vb.net application in which there is a main form. There are around 10 classes each having their own functionalities like tcpactions, fileactions, serialport actions etc. The user interacts with the main form and does certain actions which will invoke the methods in these classes. Now I have a notifications textarea in the mainform and i want to show the current action being performed in those classes and their results in the notifications area.
for example when a user clicks a "Start Process" Button in the form i invoke the method "launchprocess" in a class "ProcessActions". Now this method tries to launch about 7 different process and after launching it sends notification such as "process 1 launched" or if it fails it sends notifications such as "process 1 launch failed".
I currently use event handlers and use them to show notifications but with the amount of events i have to handle it is getting cumbersome and i might have to add even more classes in the future. So is there a better way of handling notifications from other classes.
I have a RichTextBox with an OnChanged event. The OnChanged event should look at each line in the RichTextBox and if the line is of prime length colour it red, otherwise colour it black. How do I do this? I think it is possible to select from index a to index b and set selection colour, but I think this will lose my cursor position.

I'm currently attempting to use a .NET WebBrowser to display help information (stored locally in html files) for an application I'm writing, however I'm experiencing two problems, both related to hyperlinks.
Firstly, I have a search function which returns the correct URL in the format file:\C:... I can copy and paste it into a browser, and it will navigate there. Yet clicking on the link within the control itself does nothing at all.
Secondly, the HTML files all contain relative paths to other HTML files. These of course do not work as I just end up with file:\C:help.html which gives me a 'webpage is unavailable.' But I can't think of a way to get it to work without parsing the HTML file and concatenating the path to the directory on to the front of the link.
Just to clarify, in the first problem I am dynamically building a search result page as the user types. The HTML contains several results similar to this (yes, it's unfinished, I'm just showing you the link part): [code] Now, when I click on that link in the control nothing happens, it doesn't give me a 'webpage is unavailable' or take me to the actual page. Saving the HTML, however, and opening it with Chrome, IE and Firefox works fine.In the second problem, I have a different help file for different sections, each containing relative links to several others. VB picks these up as direct paths, and attempts to go there from root, i.e file:\C:file.html. The only solution I can think of is to parse the file and use WebBrowser.Navigate(Path.Combine(pathToDirectory, nameOfHelpFile.html), which seems a lot more inefficient than it should be.
