View 12 RepliesI'm trying to write a program to call Quickbase and retrieve a database and put it into an array. It's a contacts table that I need to be able to query and select different fields according to letterheads, memos, etc. I've tried to do this three different ways.
1.) Find a direct port or some way of accessing Quickbase directly, similar to connecting to an oracle database or MS Access.
2.) Export the table to MS Excel and read the data from a spreadsheet.
3.) Opening a web browser in a background processes and login to the Quickbase account, then navigate using the little XML knowledge that I have.
I just can't find a good way to do this. Any ideas or can give some help on the code to do any of the ideas?
How to write amount (number) to words.
View 7 RepliesAnyway, I'm a teacher and am writing a program that simply shows kids a word on a flashcard. There are 2 buttons, 1 to read the word and 1 to go to a new work. There are going to be 300 words. Really I'm just testing it right here. What I want to know is should I be inputting all the words right into the code like I did with "hi" and "not 1" (Don't ask. those are just the 2 random words I picked to test this out with). OR is there a better way (maybe somehow to type all the words on a text file and have the program randomly pull one of them (I don't know how to do this).
Here is the code so far:
Public Class Form1
Dim word
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[CODE]...
I've written the following code which works fine.I'm wondering if there is not a simpler way of writing it to achieve the same?

I've not found any other way than using a Timer to have the status updated and the other actions done, as as soon as I start the thread, I loose control and "GetList_Button_Click" does not wait or control the thread.
The goal of using the thread is to not freeze the application and also adding a button to cancel the search in the future.
so I want to build an application that will send words to another program. The use is that I have call of duty world at war, and I want to be able to send the game the text "`sf_usenoammo1" which is a cheat code for unlimited ammo. I searched around and was told to look into the "send keys" which looks promising but I still don't know how to use them, any ideas on how to send the info and select the focus to the open program would be awesome.

Example: Your program and Internet Explorer are open, your program outputs [URL] and presses "{ENTER}", and it will go to the page.

So my latest project focuses on sending txt commands over from my cell phone to my email, which gets read by a program, that carries out the specified command. My latest command i want to implement, is being able to define words, and have it send me a txt back with the definition. Now I know how to send texts, and all of that stuff, but I have found it hard to find anything on defining words. At first, i tried to read websites, and simple redirect a webpage to google definitions, but that led me nowhere.

I've got 2 RTB one is for input of text and one is output.The output one needs to read the words from the input and display it alphabetically and with their line numbers.I have partly done it and it currently reads it but here is my problem When the words are outputted let say for example there are 2 words the same on the same line e.g the word 'you' appears twice on line one,at the moment its coming up like this

My "Learn Welsh" application is now near completion, I only have a few things left to add / fix then I will share it with the world. Here's a screenshot of it so far :
As you can see by the picture above, I have created a simple feature in my application to pronounce letters from a word to assist users to learn the welsh alphabet. What I would really like to do is make the program pronounce full words. I already know how to make use of the system.speech reference in vb, here is a quick sample of code:
Dim speak As System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer = New System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
Dim word as string = "hello"
speak.Rate = 1
speak.Speak(word)
Now what I'm looking to do is make use of a welsh based voice and make an application like the one below:

I have a program that requires a string. The string is 20 characters long. The string also have to be split into 2 words the first word is 12 characters and the second is 8. If the strings is not 20 characters long I get an error. I wanted to know how can I get the program to start back over and let me enter another 2 more words if the string is not 20 characters long. At the moment after I get the string is not 20 characters long error it continues to read the rest of the program but I want it to stop after an error and let me start over from the beginning.
View 3 RepliesI need to create a small program that runs in the taskbar to monitor browser urls for particular words.We are using it at work to catch people going to certain banned websites in the work place.Right now it works if i hand code each banned site into the code directly and run with a timer:[code]This works perfectly. Problem now is the Admins want direct access to add/remove different sites to the list.There is no way I am giving them access directly to my code (a bad day comes to mind).So I am attaching a small database with a small table to the server and allowing them to add URLS there. I am stuck in how to use this data though.I have tried pulling up the database column into a listbox but can not configure the code to check each line in listbox to compare to each browser window.
I also tried listed the items in a one column datagrid and try to loop through each row to compare each window.I need each browser window to be compared to a list of items and trigger events if a match is found.If your wondering why I am building this, our IS security people are all or nothing. Either no Net or Full Access.Also our people are a bit to smart to be tracked through history or simple blocking methods.

View 20 Repliesi have to write a program for my VB class that consists of a resistance checker program. I've searched like a madman to help me through this and I have found nothing >. The program consists of 2 combo boxes, the first one is the nominal resistance drop down list of the numbers :100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 820 and 1000. The second list is of the tolerance numbers; +/- 0.4%, +/-0.6% and +/-0.8%. Now what i want to do is select a number from the first combo box and select the tolerance level of the second combo box and i input the resistor of said value into the text box. when i click the check resistor button it should display a message saying if the resistor is in or out of tolerance. For now I have the form all laid out and the values inputted into both combo boxes and i can go to run the program i am able to select said values. Now my problem is trying to get the right code so that i can check the resistors value.

View 1 RepliesI have written a set of functions in VB 9 that I want to be able to call from several different programs (also VB 9). I compiled the functions into a dll and I am attempting to call the functions but to no avail. Within the dll project, the class is Public as are the Functions.Within the exe project, I have declared the dll functions using Declare statements of the following form:Public Declare Auto Function FunctionName Lib "DllName.dll" ( ) As String.I thought that this was all that is required. It builds fine but when I attempt to call the dll functions, no entry point is found.

I am the author of the MAPM arbitrary precision math library. This is a library which allows the user to make any calculation to any desired precision level. The library is written in straight ANSI C.
On many occasions, I get an email on how to use the library from a VB.NET / Visual Basic application. I have very little basic experience, and I don't know what to tell them. I would really like to tell them how to proceed to call MAPM from a basic application.
Let's assume they can compile the library with a C compiler and create a DLL.
