I've made a program to change a computers wallpaper through VB which works perfectly UNLESS as your browsing for the picture you press the cancel button. The code on the browse button:
Dim dlg As OpenFileDialog = New OpenFileDialog
dlg.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg)|*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg"
dlg.Title = "Select the image to load."
[code]....
Is there anything that can be added to the code so that the user is able to cancel looking for a picture without it crashing?

i am having a problem with a calculator that i am making. i am using radio buttons as selectors for the operations (+-*/). i have two input-boxes. i want to do some error checking. for example if the user want to find the mod of a number, i want them to only use inputbox1 to enter the value.

View 6 RepliesI'm working on a scoreboard, and I'm want to add a goal horn. The way it works is when a button is being held down, the horn wav file is going, and it stops when the button is released. I can make a good loop file, but what I'm having trouble with is getting a fade in and fade out effect to make it realistic. I don't want to use the master volume controlbecause there could be other sounds playing at the same time. How would I do this?

Short I want to write an application that loads a swf file (or html file containing the swf), and uses it as desktop wallpaper.
First off, is this even possible? Second, how can I do something like this (If its possible)?
I have a logon script which changes the desktop brackground picture in the registry. The only problem is this change isn't applied until the user logs off and on again. I currently use a small program which uses SHChangeNotify(&H8000000, &H1000, 0, 0) but this will not refresh the wallpaper. I was also hoping this would refresh the Taskbar because I change a registry setting which removes a toolbar.
