I'm making an alarm clock whose form's backColor should change randomlly every 5 seconds. I am not sure as to how to do this. I'm using a timer so after the alarm clock's given time matches the current time, a song will be played. But I do not know how to count the seconds, or milliseconds that pass after starting time.

View 5 RepliesI would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.
My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?
Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.
If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.
Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).
im new to the forums and vb. I decided to make a alarm clock and the basic functions work great. But I want to add a button that allows you to set the time you want to snooze till. The button stops the alarm but doesnt set it off. Basically it just does what my stop alarm button does well heres the code. P.S. The last button (button 3) is the snooze button

I am trying to create an alarm clock. What the problem is, is that when I then the program where the default file is using
wmp.URL="SomeWhere\In\A\Music Folder\song.mp3"
I get this error: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown.
When I that line of code it runs, but when the alarm goes off there is no sound. And having a alarm clock go off with no sound is not going to get one up. I do have wmp com control on the form.

View 2 RepliesI'm opening a form like a "popup" as in an alarm clock.The problem is: I don't know if a modal form is open at this moment, and the popup form needs to be a modal (I think but not sure), so I have a potential (and not so potential) crash.
View 5 RepliesI'm a totally newb to VB and I want to do this. I want to do display system clock into a textbox. The trick is that I want it to be synchronized with the Windows XP clock. I want to have something like +/- 100 ms accuracy.
Each 'second' change will trigger an output pin to ground into the parallel port. This is very important that the 'second' change in the same time the Windows XP second change. Do not care about the parallel output thing, I'm nearly there. My main concern is the synchronisation with Windows clock.
In my code, I've added a counter that increment +1 at each 'second' change. So, when the 'n' value will reach a determined value, it will trigger another event.

View 2 RepliesIm currently writing a sort of Tamagotchi game or "virtual pet". It's really basic, it runs on timers and has a health meter, hygiene, happiness etc. The problem I have is when the program is closed it obviously resets the properties back to the origional settings. Is there a way I can save the state of the program so when the user opens it back up it is as the same as of the point when it was closed?[Just had an idea, would I set a timer to periodically save the value of the variables to a database and then have them load the next time the user opens the program, for example if the health was 50% on closing or at intervals it would save the health into a column in a db table then when the user re opens the program call that db?]

*how to create alarm with snooze in to selected day?
I just decided to recode my personal alarm program from scratch, new functions, ui etc and optimize it but I'm stuck on a part.
I have the option to start an alarm and set it to expire at a specific time, say in 2 days 5 hours 18 mins 10 secs. I was wondering what would be the best way (performance wise) to achieve this.

View 1 RepliesI'm using access to replicate something that is very simple in excel. I have one "due date" column, and I want the cell right next to those cells to tell me if there are less than 15 days to that date. In excel is a simple conditional function, but I want to do it in Access because it looks better.I'm new to access and even though I've been reading some posts and forums I haven't been able to pull this out. I tried to program a macro with the following
Sub Alarma()
[Alarma] = IIf([Fecha de vencimiento] - 15 > Date(), " ", "Faltan menos de 15 d�as")

It shows the following error -> Compilation error: External name not defined.
So, it's not reading the "Alarma" field... how do I define this field? It's inside a formulary, and Alarma is the title (I downloaded a template from the internet and changed the titles so I wouldn't have to do it from scratch...)
