View 8 RepliesIs it possible to create a Digital / Analog clock in vb.net with out using the timer control?
View 2 RepliesI have been making an online role playing-game in VB2008 and inside the gameloop for the client there is some code that "smoothes" out the movement (instead of it being choppy from tile to tile.) It works pretty well but I'm having problems figuring out a math formula to get a good frame timer interval to set how fast the frames change based on how many pixels they can move per loop.Testing stuff out I found that 250ms is an ideal frame timer interval for 1.0 pixel movement per loop. If I were to double the movement step of pixels by 2 lets say (2.0 pixel step per loop) I found that the frame timer interval should be around 125ms. How can I get the frame timer interval by the movement step of pixels? In cases where the movement step can anything between 0.1 to 4.0 pixels.
View 3 RepliesI have to create an image that is to mimic a single clock rotating hand within a square area,and the user has to choose the width and speed of the rotation and the direction.i managed to create the square area with a hand inside,with this codes and variables,
(Dim Mygraphics As graphics = e.graphics
mygrqaphics.Draw Rectangle(pens.color x1,x2,y1,y2)
mygraphics draw line(pens.color,x1,x2,y1,y2),now i have to find codes and variables to rotate the hand or line within a square area.one point remaining constant the other moving.
I'm trying to make a -what i thought would be simple app.My intention was to build program that:1) i'd provide a grayscale image2) the program would count the black pixels the grey pixels the more grey pixels etc. (the hue) and the white3) would make the percentage sum of all pixels, that is: 300.000 black pixels (rgb 0 0 0) etc. given that 0 is the black, 100 the white. e.g a simple grayscale image is 55.2 white
This was my way and i don't think that is useful:
First of a button to convert the image to greyscale:
Dim bm as new Bitmap(source.Width,source.Height)
Dim x
Dim y
[CODE]...
Secondly, -and that's the stupid way- i did -or better i wanted to do- this: i put the code to dynamically create labels, each label having the colour of a pixel as background colour and as text the colour converted to rgb
The third step which i intended to do (i couldn't get pas two) was to sum up the labels etc.
I'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.

I searched on the net and I found a thing about NIST time server.. Maybe this could be an otpion, but I have even no idea about how using it... I'm a total newb, but I'm ready to learn. So, please use simple language, no hard to understand acronym etc.

There is String.Format function that is referred to in the documentation as the analog for Format function from VB6. There's also Format function from VisualBasic namespace that is provided for compatibility and basically has same powers as String.Format.Indeed, those two format dates and numbers.But VB6's function was also able to format strings:[code]String.Format is not able to do that, as far as I'm concerned, nor is the new Format. I also couldn't find any mention in the compatibility Format documentation that certain parts of VB6 functionality is lost, seems like the feature was deprecated "silently."Is there anything in the framework that can do this type of formatting?
View 5 RepliesI have a form and a custom scrollable PictureBox control (a very large PictureBox control inside another smaller PictureBox with 2 sliders to move large PictureBox inside smaller one). While scrolling large PictureBox inside smaller one the graphics that are drawn on large PictureBox get erased.I would like to use a kind of off-screen buffer technique to cache all the drawing operations and to repaint the "dirty" parts of the view if necessary. There is an example of how to do this with Bitmap class in VB.NET.Is there any analog of VB.NET's Bitmap class for Visual Basic 6?

View 11 RepliesIhave written a Visual Basic program to read serial data from an Atmel micro-controller that monitors a solar panel and a wind turbine. I have used a label box to display the digital data from the serial port and all works well.The data from the micro-controller is formatted like this (Battery voltage XX.XX) (Solar voltage XX.XX) etc.I would like to add a analog meter with a 0 to 24 scale to the program that will display the value from the micro-controller but am unable to find anything listed in the help menu of Visual Studio 2010.I have used the terms analog meter, meter and instrumentation in the help menu to look for a template but nothing comes back.Can someone either point me to a visual studio 2010 meter template and or some sample code or best of all.

View 5 RepliesI have been a programmer for almost 14 years and have worked in SQL, VB, VBA and MS Access. I am making the transition to VB 2008 and as you can imagine, it is frustrating. One of the new things to be in VB2008 is working with data. They have made it easy to setup datasets and output data to a form. In VB6, I never used the GUI data tools, I always custom programmed recordsets and wrote loops to output the data. Then, I wrote my own code to update, insert or delete the data. With VB 2008 I dont have to do this anymore, but is it a better practice to hand code than rely on wizards.
I also noticed I don�t have as much control over the data with using the wizards, for example. There is 1 insert statement defined for a table adapter. Lets say I wanted to perform a slightly different insert based on a condition. I can�t do that anymore right?

View 10 Replieswas wondering if you could give me a hand and point me in right direction with the project i am creating. It is a toolkit They are 2 problems that i am having wondering if anybody knew the issues
1. The textbox is not having them 1 by 1 for example
service pack 2
service pack 3
2. The other problem is a bit more tricky, I have software on the hard-drive c:directorysp2
it has to be implemented into the toolkit anybody have any ideas how without a database if possible. I thought this could be done in the load form, pre-loads the software and then checks when comes to installing the software in the list.

I'm trying to print out some arrays of data, arranged in columns, but am having a few problems:
1) I don't think that I'm calculating the x coordinate correctly for each column
2) The text won't right hand justify
Sometimes, I get the code fairly close to working, and then make what I think is the final change, but it seems to make other things worse. I'm a hobbyist,just learning VB for my own use, so I know that my code won't bring tears of joy to a professional..[code]
We are working on a poker game as a class project. My part is to evaluate and then determine the value of a players hand. We are evaluating from highest to lowest (ie. determining whether the player has a straight flush, 4 of a kind, full house, flush and then going all the way down to a high card only "worthless hand"). My part is evaluating the 2 pair, 1 pair, and nothing hands. The hand will be a two-dimensional array with the row(0 thru 12),column (0) containing the numeric "face" value of the cards and the column(1) containing the value assigned to the suite (1=clubs, 2=diamonds,3=hearts,4=spades). I have NO IDEA where to even begin this evaluating procedure.
View 4 RepliesIs there a method to swap the left and right hand sides of a set of expressions in Visual Studio? I have a decent sized set of data that needs to be stored in an active record. In order to pre-populate the form fields on the page, I have already written the following [Code]
Is there some sort of the method (built-in functionality, macro, etc.) that I could use to swap each side of the expression such that the data is saved into the active record as opposed to read from it in order to perform a database insert? For example, after highlighting the above code and running the macro, it would become:[Code]
Since the number of columns in the database that this active record encapsulates is rather large, it seems like most of this typing could be avoided with a simple automated process. Obviously this wouldn't work 100% because sometimes there would have to be type conversions (e.g. int to string) but for the most part I think this would save a lot of time.

I'm writing an vb.net application so that the user can type text to be added to a website. I'm using a richtextbox and I've added the facility to hyperlink selected text. This all works, but when the mouse cursor moves over a hyperlink it changes to a hand; how do I stop it doing that? It's confusing for the user as it looks like clicking the link will do something and it makes it awkward to correct spelling within the text of the hyperlink.
View 3 Replies1) How do I force a form to open in a certain position on the monitor? ie. by default it starts in the top left corner of the screen. I want it to open in the bottom right corner. Also, is there a way to do this as a % rather than in pixels? As I want it to be in the correct position regardless of the resolution being used.
2) Can you remove the "x" close button on the top right hand corner of a form? If you can't, is there a way to disable it?
