how to graphically show an analog needle moving similar to an old analog meter. I have the picture of the meter I created in paint brush. What I need to know if possible is how do I show the needle moving to a certain value. Basically one end of the needle will be fixed in the middle bottom of the picture and it would move accordingly at a certain angle to my calculations of a certain process.
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.

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 8 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 2 RepliesI'm putting together a user control that I want to have some animation in (it shows a pump running) and was able to cobble together a nice animated GIF with Photoshop:When I pop it onto a PictureBox in my control, it animates and looks really good.The problem I have, is I want to be able to change the color-palette information in the image to adjust the hue.Thus, when the user chooses "Color.Red", the image is altered so the dark blue in the image becomes Color.Red and the other colors are adjusted accordingly.
The color math I got no problem with, my problem is, how do you change the color information of an animated gif image without ruining it?I can't just convert it to a bitmap or I loose the animation. It has a single, universal color palette so it shouldn't be too hard.Pre-rendered GIFs aren't an option since these pumps pump colored liquid, I want the user to be able to set them on the fly.
How can I make the picturebox animate gif files?
Like, I have an image that has a few frames of animation, but the picturebox only shows the first frame, how can i make it continually loop the gif?

the exe file works beautifully.
here is the problem : in vb i added the volume meter dll and did :project reference to add : progressbargradient.dll, Microsoft.DirectX.dll, and Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.dll
and connected webcam with microphone but i get the error "Microsoft.DirectX.dll' is attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang."
I have literally been everywhere (Even CodeProject.com) Everything is so out dated... Does anyone know how to graph a peak meter, or have, or know where to get a (Working) one..

View 2 RepliesI'm at a stage with my first real program where I'm putting some effort into the UI.I'd like to have a "meter", of "velocity" type, you know the ones in vehicles.I'm thinking of having an arrow that I've drawn in Illustrator pointing in a specific angles depending on values it gets from a database. i'm thinking of having on arrow pointing straight up, and two similar ones, only being diagonal in the picturebox (to the left and right respectively), thus enabling me to resize the picturebox and stretch the image. However that's not a pretty solution is it? Is there a way to place the arrow at an angle inside the picturebox, or the picturebox itself?
View 9 RepliesI have a form positioned slightly above the taskbar/system tray in the bottom right corner of my desktop window.It's sort of like a pop-up notification.The notification itself looks great,but there's a button on it which resizes the form up, animating the sizing in increments of 5px whilst keeping it's position relative to the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem with this is that it doesn't look very smooth. Adjusting Me.Width resizes from the left so you have to then move the form to the left with Me.Left to compensate. Me. SetBounds just seems to be a wrapper for setting those properties anyway.Is there anything I can do to have the form smoothly (or at least appear to) resize outwards from the left of the form?

I am trying to track the progress of a meter in a flash window and click when it reaches a certain point. I am currently using getpixel() to "watch" a single pixel and when it changes to green, perfrom a click. Problem is i have to "watch a pixel" about 20 pixels left of the intended target and then click. Reason, when the program has realized the pixel is green, it clicks, but this has not been as accurate as needed. Sometimes it clicks to soon and sometimes it clicks to late.
Before you suggest using DIBS, i didn't use it because i am loading a 1x1 screenshot and watching that pixel in a loop. I figured since i was continously loading a new bitmap via getpixel that dibs would not be any quicker. The way i read dibs is that if i was loading a bunch of pixels it would be faster because it goes ahead and loads into an array.Is there another way to monitor a meter in a flash window?

I am trying to use a power meter to track the progress of my program; this will be for my use only and will be removed later. I would also like to display the percentage run in the meter. I already know what the start and end points will be for the meter. What do I need to search for? I have been looking and haven�t been able to find anything that suits my needs yet. I am running VB 2005.
