Changing Picturebox X / Y Positions
Mar 5, 2011
I'm trying to make my own clone of space invaders as it's been about a year since I've done any programming, and I imagine this will be a good way to get back into it. The main issue that I am having right now, is that I am basically clueless as to how I go about moving the player on a keypress. I have the code for the keyboard input correct, how to move my picturebox.
Here's my code so far (in a nutshell):
Dim PlayerPositionX as integer
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left
[Code] .....
I imagine I probably messed up very badly on this, but I'm completely lost!

I want to be able to click a picturebox with an image and then load 3 other pictureboxes with images and then be able to click one of those 3 images and have it show in a bigger picturebox. How would I go about doing this? If its to confusing I will attach an example project I put together.

I am not that good with sql/visual basic but I have a sql database hooked up to visual basic and I would like to know how to make a picture box change pictures.
For example:
in sql : picture= 0 in VB: if number = 0 then display.nopicture
in sql: Picture = 1 in vb: if number = 1 then display.Picture01
This is for avatar use in my program.

I am trying to make a 'puppet' change into a ball when I press e.g. the right arrow key. I used getasynckeystate(keys.right) to check for the key in a timer. The moving is working well but I don't have an idea how I can make it change in a picture of the 'puppet' changing which then changes into a ball. Does someone know how to do this?

Today i am working on a project for one of my college courses. I have a picture moving by button command. ex: up, left, right, down.
I need the image to react as each button in pressed for example the arrow is pointing up when i press left button the arrow needs to change to point left.If i could get some help that would be great. I have all of the images and i also need to know how to link them.

I have a timer that on tick checks to see the value of a an element in an array using a counter on another form as well. The picture boxes are initially set to false for visible and they should become true when the timer ticks and the element is equal to 1. I know that the pictureboxes have a valid picture in them because if I initialize them as TRUE first, it shows up properly. I also know that I am entering the IF statement because I can put a simple MsgBox with any string in the IF statement and it will display when the requirements are set. But yet the pictureboxes still do not change.
Public Sub test_timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles test_timer1.Tick
If tron.left_arm_full(tron.left_all_on_counter) = 1 Then

What I have done is named a bunch of picture boxes "Q," "W," "E," etc. (the whole alphabet) and named picture that correspond to these picture boxes ("Q.png," "W.png," and so on) and added them to my resources.
For example, the following code would give the picture box named "Q" it's corresponding image "Q.png":
vb
Q.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Q
Of course, it's kind of a pain in the backside to copy and paste this code and change all the Q's to W's and so on, so I was hoping to create a function to do the job for me:
vb
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'So that I can run the letter as a string through the function,
[Code].....
Hopefully I've provided enough detail so that it is obvious what I'm trying to do.
Obviously, the code I tried above (the second block) doesn't work - it gives a syntax error. I need to change/write to make this function functional.

i'm creating a game like text twist. that when i press letter a, i need to determine which picturebox contains letter a and display it to different location. that also goes to the proceeding letter a's. for example, i have a jumbled letters "aamba". in my code, it only gets the first letter a and removes it form the screen, it's nowhere to be found. and it won't recognize that i still have other letter a's i'm pretty sure about the location that i set it to be placed.here is my

For example I only the second character in each line to be an x, while the 3nd to 10th character must be a hex digit.At the moment I use a Select Case, then check the position of the caret (using textbox.selectionstart) and see if the key being pressed is a "legal" character.Is there a better way of doing this as it slows down on large amounts of text.
This is the code I have at the moment:
Select Case TextBox1.SelectionStart
Case TextBox1.GetFirstCharIndexOfCurrentLine + 1

I have 20 PictureBoxes named PictureBox2 through to PictureBox 21, where I need to conditionally set the positon of them. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to set their positions than to copy the code out 20 times. This is what I have so far:
For NextPos As Integer = 2 To 21
Select Case Direction

I have 3 splitcontainers on my form. Each splitcontainer has vertical splitter orientation
This forms 3 'panels' which are resizable by dragging their respective splitters.
Each vertical 'panel' is then split horizontally by adding another splitcontainer with horizontal splitter orientation. I now have 3 column 'panels' each of which is split into 2 'rows'
My question is :
In a nested splitcontainer scenario
When a user drags splitters and resizes panels,
how can I remember the last splitter location
so that when the form is closed and reopened,
it remembers the last used positions ?

For a project I need to do a String strX is said to be a cyclic rotation of a String strY if it's possible to rotate the characters in strY by some number of positions, n, such that strY becomes strX. I don't mean rotate in a Caesar sense here but in a left-right (or right-left) sense. For instance, strX = abanan is a cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana to the right by n=1 (i.e., by one position), wrapping accordingly, yields abanan. Similarly is strX = anabana cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana by n=3.I need to write an application that returns True if strX is a cyclic rotation of strY otherwise the result is False. I'm looking into how to do this, I know it will involve and if then statement and possibly some loops. Is there anyone who can help me better understand what I should do?

I am making a game that is similar to Dance Dance Revolution. As you know, there are moving arrow keys, but when i run the program, only one arrow moves up in a loop. I don't understand what is wrong with the code. Also, the score is messed up. It doesn't add or minus points.

I would like to know if it is possible to switch the position of a StateImage with that of an IndexImage for a TreeNode in a Winforms TreeView? Please refer to the image below for an illustration. The first TreeNode has a stateImage and the second one doesn't. My aim is for all IndexImages to align to the left and the StateImage (if any) to be to the right of the IndexImage. The resulting tree would look something like: I think I have to set the tree DrawMode to OwnerDraw and override OnPaint. I read this msdn link but nothing there was said about drawing images.

This I'm almost certain is an easy problem for those with more experience than me. I just need a routine that trades the places of 2 members of a collection class.
For example: If there are 5 objects stored in a CList of() collection class, I want to swap item # 3 and #5 (or any pair of indexes), what would be the code?
This simple problem has my head spinning because once you remove a member all the indexes change.

I have two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) and have a straight line between the 2 points, from this I can work out the distance between the 2 points lets say it is 50.What I want to do is increase or decrease the length of the line by a predefined amount lets say 10.So If I increase the line length by 10 (from 50 to 60), What I want to work out is what point(x3,y3) would be at the end of the increased line.Hope this makes sense.I have tried to work out the new point using the angle but it does not work correctly, it does not seems to produce a perfectly straight line and the angle from point (x1,y1) to the new (x3,y3) is not the same as the angle from point (x1,y1 to x2,y2).
This is what I have tried:
:I work out the angle
aAngle =Math.Atan((Y2 Y1) / (X2 X2))

When btnSetup is clicked, 7 rows with 24 colored predefined rectangles are displayed in the pbColors picture box as as intended. The controls on the first page of a tab control. I would like this display to remain intact when I change tab pages but when I return to this tab page the picture box is cleared. If I click the button, for some reason the group of colors is displayed twice, one after the other, instead of once as intended.

how I could search a given bitmap, say "test.bmp" or a printscreen, for two pixels that are next to each other and that have specified color values? The colors are: &H486596 and &H213D66. I then want to return the pixel positions in the image at which they are first located adjacent to one another. I'm only after the first instance of the occurrence. I wish to use GetDIBits as I hear that it's quicker. So I want to find the first instance where the color value for pixel (x,y) = &H486596 and (x+1, y) = &H213D66.
