How do I change the Windows Speaker Volume (The Main Output Volume Control Volume Value) via VB.NET? I want a way to like indirectly change the whole system's volume like we do it from the Volume Control application on Windows 7

I ve blackled it and found a 1000 lines code. I need something more simplified...

I'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.
Most of the code examples I'm finding show some predefined set points for Off, Low, Normal, Medium, High, and Very High like this:
Public Enum Volumes As Integer
OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459
[Code]....
OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.

View 11 RepliesSo I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application.

I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?

I'm having trouble adjusting the font style in a RichTextBox and I've seen a few different approaches that talk about single attributes (like toggling bold on and off)... but I'm trying to make it so that my font class can adjust any attribute (bold, italic, underline).
I realize that Font.Style is a set of Boolean flags (a bitfield?)... but I'm not sure how to handle the attributes all at once.
Here is the troublesome code:
Public Sub ModifyFontStyle(Optional ByVal Plain As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Bold As Object = Nothing, _
Optional ByVal Italics As Object = Nothing, Optional ByVal Underlined As Object = Nothing)
[Code]....
What is happening to the font? The text should be underlined and in italics not strikethrough...
Is this a logic error or a simple misunderstanding on my part?
I've developed an application that acquires images from my Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 using WIA. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the quality of the image taken by the camera. The camera has a 2MP lense, but the program will only acquire a picture of 320x240 pixels, which is the lowest resolution the camera has. How do I tell the camera to take a picture at one of it's other resolutions? IE: 640x480, 960x720, 1.3MP, or 2MP?

It seems there is no easy solution for adjusting a specific format of a used font e.g. for Text. As I understood in order to change any part of the used format we need to use New Font(...) form of implementation which looks a bit odd to me.
TextBox1.Font.Bold = True
which needs to be rewritten as:
TextBox1.Font = New Font(TextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
which is no reason that I can see why it should be hard like that.Anyway, here is my solution for adjusting the font style using four CheckBox controls (i.e. BBold, BUnderline, BItalic and BStrikeout).Preview is a TextBox control.
Private Sub SetFontStyle(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BBold.CheckedChanged, _
BUnderline.CheckedChanged, _

I've a form set to size 1240:750. On my PC where I've VB2010 installed, the screen size is set to 1680:1024 and the form can be viewed fine but on a PC with screen size set to 1280:1024 (higher than the form) the form in question is cropped almost a third of it. To adjust the form to everyone screen size I set the below code at load with no avail.
'Autosize form to screen
Me.Height = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height) * (0.9)
Me.Width = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width) '* (0.9)
Me.MaximumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Me.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(1240, 750)
I have a windows form which contains a group of panels in a flowlayout control. Each panel has a button acrossthe top which is always visible and clicking on it expands the panel to view the other controls on it. clicking on it again shrinks the panel back to the size of the button. A simple form of menu. The flowlayout control has autoscroll enabled and as enough panels are resized (opened) they obviously are too big for the form and a scroll bar pops up.To get the most recently opened panel in the viewable area I use
FlowLayout.ScrollControlIntoView(pnECBF)
where pnECBF is the panel just resized. This works but places the panel at the bottom of the form i.e just in the visible area. I want the user to be able to see the panel AND the next menu button which is on the subsequent panel. So basically what I want is the panel into the visible area +25 pixels for the next panels menu button.
