Building Arena Simulation Model With External Program?
Jan 13, 2012
I have a requirement to construct a Arena simulation model using an entirely separated external VB program, instead of using the build-in VBA programming capabilty. I have some progress on building such program, but not satisfied with the behavior.
Is it possible to create a Model without starting the Arena.exe?If the program halt for any reason (such as termination of debugging) during the model creation steps, the subsequent call to the CreateObject function failed with result like "Cannot create ActiveX/Com objects". This error still occurs even if I manually kill the Arena.exe via the Task Manager. How to avoid this?
I'm looking at building a airline simulation game whereby users create an run an airline, I just want to ask something that will possibly be very simple but it's going to be very complicated answer i think.for every aspect of my game do i have a class to create an object, for example
City: (I'll have a class called myCity and each time i look at a city it goes to that class creates an object and I use it then dispose of the object)Airplane: (make model etc) How about bigger items such as Bank is bank it's own class or are items inside the bank the object?
How about competitors, i guess each one is it's own object? i would never dispose of them, how would I store them form each user session to another?
I am trying to convert an industrial simulation program to a VB program There is one hard concept that I have problem with, it is called "Duplicate" Ex: When 1 person pass the duplicate block A, then 2 persons comes out, (that person is cloned). 1st person goes path 1, has delay time of 1 hour. 2nd person goes path 2, has delay time of 2 hours. At the end of the 1st hour, 1st person arrives at the detour, at the end of 2nd hour, 2nd person arrives at the detour, but 1st person already moves on to the next task for an hour.
So you can consider them doing their separate tasks simultaneously. Then complication comes in when somewhere down the path, 1st and 2nd person pass another duplicate B, then total of 4 persons will run into their own separates paths and delays. Then they will come back to the starting duplicate block A, thus creates total of 8 persons and follow the same path above again.
Until some condition has been met (ex: total number of persons pass through duplicate B), then all of them will leave the system.Anyone has any idea what is the best way (logically easy to follow) to program the concept? I hope I explained it clearly. It's unfortunate that MSDN doesn't allow attaching image or video.
I was looking at making a program which can then build other seperate .exes, is this possible? For example the user types their mail username/password into my program then this builds a seperate one which just connects to their mail with their username/password.
I am working on a program. I created a database and used it to create a dataGridView in my program. I clicked the table adapter for the program and tried to create a new query. When I did this, I got the following error messages...Error message-the new command text returns data with schema different from schema of the main query check your query's command text if this is not desired Schema returned by the new query differs from the base query I cannot create a query for the database. What is a base query and what can I do to fix this?
I need to manipulate an external edit control from with in my program. (IE: Get new text whenver it's being enter into edit control and parse the infomation in my program).So, is it possible to create an edit control in my program that base on the handle of an existing application using win32 api or something
Im trying to see if you can make a GUI that can edit the Source code of your progam and then building it as an .exe..Say you have a login program and you wanted to change the password, All you do is go to the "Edit My Account" and go to password and then enter your old password and in the next textbox your new password.Then you would click save and it will ask for a directory and save it as .exe. And when you would start your newly compiled program you can used the program you just entered in.
I currently have a windows services application written in vb.net 2008I want to mass build releases/installers that can carry an unique ID.So that each of my client can download an unique copy of the programMy windows services app must be able to access that unique ID.Heres an live scenario:I have 10000 clients, they can login to my website to download my program.Lets say client #10 downloads my program, the program will be able to read a value somehow that will give "10".The program downloaded by client #500 will be able to read the "500" value.The only ideas i can think of are:- Make the installer read the file name of the installation file, and add a registry key depening on part of the file name.
Im building a program that's linked to a ms access database. the function i use to update a row... In order to save a lot of typing i inserted a for loop that uses a directcast function. i did this because i have numerous text boxes that i name tb1, tb2, tb3, tb4...etc and they each correlate with row 1, row 2, row 3, row 4...etc in the database.[code].....
I'm just curious to know if there's any way to build my app. from its binary code. I just saw the thread of creating a program builder and got curious.
I am building a program that calculates the number of books by points.Ex: 1-3 books read are worth 10 points, 4-6 are worth 15 and > 6 are worth 20. The issue I'm having is getting it to calculate the the first 3 books, the 2nd 3 books and then the > 6.Ex: User inputs 8 books read. It should display 115 in the label.
1. I'm using an If statement (should I be) 2. Could I use a decimal for the > 6? Ex: intTotalNumberOfBooks = (intTotalNumberOfBooks * intFirst3Books) *#D
I know this is something simple and it's out of VB 101, but it is my very first programming class and my professor uses a copy paste method during class.
building a program at the moment that changes registry entries to turn on and change, and off proxy settings. This small program is going to be dropped on each persons desktop so they can easily turn on the proxy in work, and turn it off when they take their laptop home.
However, the proxy address changes depending on which company I am at. I would like to be able to make a single program, but have a "hidden" setting to change the proxy and store it in the program, and push a copy of the file out across the network to each machine. I tried to make it so the proxy address can be saved as a string in My.Settings, but it would have to be made as a User setting rather than an application setting to give it read-write access.The only other option I can think of is to hard-code the proxy address into the program, which really isn't ideal
I could not figure out the key to installing folders/subfolders/.rtf files during deployment/installation. The key here is to 'add' folders and subfolders to the project in solution explorer, then adding existing item (.text (.rtf files in my case) files) then selecting the .rtf file in solution explorer.go to its properties and under 'Build Action' select 'Content' (very Important!). Then under 'Copy to Output' select 'Copy if newer'!Then in code to access these files you use the following code:
I am building a program that strips out certain keywords from a much larger file. I am using code that .paul. provided in a different post, but I can't get it to work correctly. Here is the code that I am using: [code] Basically, the first match will appear in textbox2, but no other matches appear after that. I put a breakpoint at the For Each loop and checked out the locals. I am showing 2,502 matches for the variable "match." I just now put another breakpoint in there and I can see that it is stepping, but nothing is recorded.In the archive is a file named debout.txt. This file should be used for the testing.
if you can simulate a "double click" when you click a button. What I mean is that,
1 - you click on the button,
2 - the button behaves as if it were clicked twice.
I need this because for some reason, some of the buttons on my form that give focus to a PDF reader need to be clicked twice in a row to work. I think this is because with the component, there are different areas to give focus, but you can only just say "AxAcroPDF.Focus" .
Can I simulate a "double click" on the action of a single click?
I've been trying to create a working keygen for three months and I havn't figured it out. I first inserted two buttons and named one "Generate" and the other "Exit" and then I put in a textbox. After that I put in the code and debugged it every time I pressed the Generate button a 0 just popped up in the textbox. my code is below.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I wish to use raw input on an application that i know accepts it and simulate ondevicearrival events for a physical hardware device so i dont have to plug it in to test on device arrival. I can find the pid and other hardware specific numbers if needed for the simulation but im really just wanting to simlulate multiple mice for ondevicearrival.

I am trying to do is to draw a ray of light emitted by a light source and it is going to be reflected mirrors. I rotate the emitter and mirrors and the ray of light shold obey the laws of reflection. The emitter and mirrors are in an opaque room which means light should not go out. Where I am now is that I am able to draw the ray but when the angle is 90 degrees ( +or-) all the drawing disappears. I set some conditions to make up for this situation, but it does not seem to work. Besides if the angle exceeds 90 degrees, the line is drawn in the opposite direction.One other thing that happens is I set the ray to stop when either end_x_emitter_ray or end_y_emitter_ray = 500. It works for the end_x_emitter_ray but not for the end_y_emitter_ray[end_x_emitter_ray and end_y_emitter_ray are the point where the ray end]I have uploaded the my whole code here. Can you guys suggest me what can be done to make it work appropriately?
So I have my form, I add one combobox (combobox1) and a button that says "Launch..."Button 1's
Process.Start(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
When you select a program from the combobox (combobox1) and click launch, it launches that program, for example, cmd.exe (command prompt) when I click the button, it launches the command prompt, but if I select a game (for example chess.exe, for vista), it says it can't find the file, this is because the search for the file is only: WindowsSystem32, how can I change that? OR, how can I add a reference that searches the WHOLE Disk, not just WindowsSystem32?
I am using VB 2005. I am trying to open an external program, make it invisible, and then control it. It is fine if the external program shows up in the Windows Task Manager, but I don't want anything showing up in the Windows taskbar. I already know how to open the program I want to use. For that I am using:
I start an external Program using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start I want monitoring when a user has started a new file, saves or opens another file and get the info of the file in current process
So, I'm using shell to start up an external application at the press of a button, but the application requires several other external files with it in order for it to work. How could I make it work? Note: I'm a newbie
i wanna know how to launch an external program as administrator Like tick a tick box and it launchs the program as admin if you tick it and push the button.
What I'm wanting to do is gonna sound pretty strange. I play a game called Wonderland Online. Usually while playing, I will have between 3-4 instances of the game going at the same time, each instance running a different character. Also, I will have open another program that I wrote that helps me figure out what I need to manufacture a certain item in the game. The running game is an 800x600 window, and I have all 5 of these windows open at once, where I am constantly moving things around, minimizing and maximizing.I want to create a app that would basically be a frame for the game. Creating the frame would not be hard, but this is the first time I have tried to get an external EXE to basically run inside of my program. Is this even possible? And if so, I would imagine I could run multiple EXEs and flip between them inside my frame. I could integrate my manufacturing program into the frame, as well as control which instance of the game is visible inside the frame.
Some time ago I saw a code to host an exe from within a visual basic form, acting as its parent. How would I go about doing this in vb.net? I havent programmed in ages, but recently have gotten an interest again in order to complement
