I am trying to have a visual indicator of battery life from data I receive over the networkMy issue right now is trying to find a way to have a progress bar that is smooth and looks like a battery. Additional to this, I want this to stand vertically.

I need a code that will make a progress bars value equal the battery level. And have label equal the batterys time left?

I come back to the MSDN to ask another question now. That is:
How do you check if a battery exists in a computer?
I have the code here to figure out battery percentage.[URl]..But if a battery is not inserted it will show battery 100% and charging instead of it showing that a battery does not exist.
How can I receive data about the battery status for windows phone ? I checked on microsoft's site but i couldn't find anything except the charging mode :S

It is possible to get the current battery status information?
I'm trying to get the battery life meter in percent, so it will be shown on a progressbar when you're on a portable computer.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to monitor the battery of notebooks to diagnose whether there charging/discharging correctly or not for my work. I can get the basic info using SystemInformation.PowerStatus but i want to be able to see the slope or decline of the charging via a graph. Is this possible? i was playing with the system monitor control and thats the kind of output im trying to get. A simple line graph would be perfect....passmarks battery test is a example of what im going for
View 2 RepliesTrying to find a code to display ' BatteryLifePercent' by itself on the screen of a gps unit running Windows CE Core 5.0. I have absolutely no experience in programming. Just piecing together things I find and slowly learning to make a working program. So if this is possible, could someone post a code for it? Ideally I'd want just the percentage showing on the main page with ability to size font and position somewhere on the screen. [Code]
View 4 RepliesSearching about kernel32.dll and battery functions in it, I came across some interesting
Public BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32
The full declaration is:
Private Declare Auto Function GetSystemPowerStatus Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
ByRef lpSystemPowerStatus As SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS) _
As Integer
Private Structure SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS
Public BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32
What I don't understand is, what measurement do the "BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32" is in? I mean, is the Battery life Time in seconds or hours.. Or something else, so how can I convert it to something I can use..
I'm currently starting a new job in which I will be working on some coding in the future and need some advice on some good places to start so I can learn this correctly. Essentially we need to bring VB4 code over to the new VB.net language and I will be tasked with this. The project consists of a large battery of tests for psychiatric patients consisting of mostly multiple choice questions presented one at a time - since VB4 isn't very compatible, I think I will create a new battery from scratch while using the old code as a reference point.
I started creating the code this weekend for fun and am really enjoying it. However, a huge problem has been the abandonment of control arrays in the new language... by the time I got to creating my first questionnaire I'm stumped and can't follow the old code. Clearly I'm not ready to tackle such a large project with no experience and need to start from scratch; who would have thought .
The reason why I'm here is not to ask you to help me with my work. What I'm wondering is if any of you have any cool advice of great places to start learning the language (books, websites, etc). The amount of literature is very overwhelming so I thought I would ask some people with experience for tips. If any of you have stumbled across learning material with emphasis on coding that would be useful in the design of questionnaires or multiple choice exams, it would be particularly useful.
So far my starting place is Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step with Michael Halvorson, it seems good at a glance in the sense that it couples theory with practice but I'm already sure I'll need a little more.
Currently, I've encountered a problem where I do not how I can store the variable of my battery level in a text file. I tried .xml and .txt file and it returns me text which can't be read.The code related:
vb.net
[code]Dim psBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
Dim perFull As Single = psBattery.BatteryLifePercent
[code]....
The place where I do not know what to insert is the "Insert Battery Percentage Here" part so I guess that's the problem.For your info, if you were to use a MsgBox to display, the code which displays that would be <MsgBox("Total battery power remaining: " & perFull * 100 & "%")>
I'm trying to make a little app that displays the battery life of a notebook, and also whether it is charging or not.I've got it displaying the battery percentage and if it is running via the cable or battery alone.My problem is that I have a timer constantly ticking to grab the latest information as to whether it is still chraging, what the battery % is like, however for some reason when it first runs it get's the info but then that's it, it won't refresh the info in real time. I'm confused because the battery can deplete but the program only displays what info it got when it was first ran but if I unplug the power cord or plug it back in it refreshes that info straight away. My code is:
Public Class Form1
Dim psBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
Dim perFull As Single = psBattery.BatteryLifePercent
Dim GraphicPercent As VariantType
[code]....
The bit I've highlighted in red in my code won't work either, basically I've shaped the two labels to look like a crude battery shape and label2's function is to represent the nobly bit at the top of the battery and I wan't that to change to Lime when the battery is 100%.why it won't refresh the graphical output to the screen?
im making a web browser which is intertwind in a project, but i cant get the progress bar to display the current percent of a page that is loaded, i want to have 10 segments, each standing for 10% of the total page loaded. So say a page is loaded 67%, 6 out of 10 of the segments will be shown.

View 1 RepliesI have a filesystemwatcher which place files in a queue when they are created. From the queue the files are further processed (xml into SQL database).
The mechanism works fine, but I want to add a progress bar to follow the progress of the files in the queue: processing 1 of 10......2 of 10......3 of 10 etc.For testing, I created a batch file to simulate the creation of files, so the filesystemwatcher can to his work and place the files in the queue. When I tell the batchfile to simulate the creation of 20 files, I see that the amount of files in the queue change. For example;

In the app I'm currently making, I have two progress bars. One for current task being committed and the other is for overall progress.During runtime, I calculate how many tasks are being run and set that as the maximum. As each task completes, the progress bar is incremented by one.
I want the current task progress bar to show the progress of the current task. Some tasks can take a few minutes to complete so that progress bar works great. But, if the task is super quick, like editing registry keys, I see no progress at all.When I edit the registry, it basically goes like this:
'Edit Key
'x
'x
'x
ProgressBar1.PerformStep()[code].....
It completes so quickly that I never see the bar even move.I also have each task report its name into a label and it skips ahead so quickly that I only see the first task name and the last.Is there any way to make this do a better job at reporting the progress?
I came across a problem in my program it takes too long to calculate the values needed (about 10 sec) .But thats not the problem you don't know when the program is working or not, as it just locks up until its finshed and I view that as a problem.
I need to be able to show the progress of this .I looked at using background Workers but I get exception "Object reference not set to an instance" I believe this is because the background worker cannot write values or something ,As it works will a normal handler.

I'm working with the progress bar, doing manual tests for response I will be having some data streamed to the bar and it will need to adjust pretty dang quick.
Private Sub HScrollBar2_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles HScrollBar2.ValueChanged
ProgressBar1.Value = HScrollBar2.Value
End Sub
however when I randomly drag the scrollbar the progress bar lags 1/2 sec behind the scroll value. This used to not happen when I used the old .net 2.0 default blue scroll, but this is the glass style progress bar. Just need to know if I can speed up response time.
