Communications :: Programming LED Screens Using .NET?

Nov 24, 2010

for a test project that i'm doing i am looking for ways to program a LED screen. I ordered a few LED screens (320x160) that can be connected together). Using a special controlcard the whole thing can then display text etc. Using the software that a Chinese supplier gave me. All the above works fine. But I am depending on the software I have. I have VB.Net experience and I would like to put the software aside and write my own software. I would like to set up the COM connection and tell what LED to activate.

Problem i'm facing is that the chinese cannot provide me good use of the software dll files. I need a small Vb.net program that does the above. Would somebody be able to figure out how to do this.

Communications :: Send A Command Via RS232 Communications

Jan 26, 2009

I am using VB2008 Express and am curious how to send a command via RS232 communications. The string that I need to send is 02h PON 03h. The start and end bits are 02h and 03h.

How can I convert 02h and 03h to its ascii form. In hyperterminal, I use the sequence {(hold)ALT 0 0 2} on the number pad to send the start bit.

I am using this code currently without the start and end bits

What Are These Types Of Screens

May 6, 2011

I often use VBA to automate internet explorer and interact with web sites.I can find links on regular URLs I navigate to, fill in forms on them, etc.But I don't know what these types of windows are that come up or how to get a hold of them to click links on them or enter text in their forms if there is any. It comes up then grays out the screen it came from. It looks like its some java popup or something. I'm not interested in the site this is from, its just an example of one to show what I mean. I've been searching and looking but can't figure it out.

.net - Form.Bounds With 2 Screens?

Feb 11, 2011

I have 2 screens, and 2 forms. I want each form to fill a screen, so I did the following code:

s = Screen.AllScreens
f1.Bounds = s(0).Bounds
f2.Bounds = s(1).Bounds

(s(0) is my primary screen, and s(1) is above it.) F1 fills s(0), but f2 does not fill s(1). The size of f2 is set correctly but the location is set to (50, 0) instead of (0, -1024). Maybe location won't accept negative numbers? If so, how can I get my form to the other screen?

How To Programmatically Disconnect Screens

Nov 21, 2011

I have a PC with four LCD monitors attached, but often I leave it unattended and need only one monitor running. I've set up power strips so that I can flip one switch on a power strip to turn on or off the other three monitors. The problem is, when I turn off the other three monitors, the computer makes the disconnect sound every few seconds. you can go into Control Panel->Display->Change display settings, and under 'Multiple displays' disconnect the monitors you are not using, and them reconnect them when you need them again. However, this is time consuming to do manually.can I program this in VB .Net, i.e. is there a Class or some registry keys that I can use to connect or disconnect monitors the same way as through the Control Panel?

Trying To Suppress Error Screens

Apr 13, 2011

I am writing a program that tests our hardware write blocker units.When i send it the command to delete a text file on the device it should ONLY respond with my error message coded with a try...except statement.However the error message seems to be coming from windows 7 when it says "The disk cannot be written to becuase it is write protected. Please remove the write protection from the volume POCKET in drive F:" then it has the buttons Cancel, Try Again and Continue. If i click on Cancel or Continue then my error message comes up.Is there anyway I can suppress the "The disk cannot be written to." error message in Visual Basic 2010?

VS 2008 How To Really Fill Up All Screens

Building An Application Which Uses Multiple Screens?

Jan 12, 2012

In the very near future I'll have to develop an application that uses multiple screens.

So I'll give you a practical example:

I have 4 screens where different pricing infomation is being displayed. At any given time, I have to show a Promotion which is a single image that needs to be displayed across all of the screens with text scrolling across the screens.

Now I'm wondering what the best way would be to achieve this.

At first I was thinking of using one form and to stretch it across 4 screens, while I create 4 'areas' on the form that represent a screen. However when you extend a form this big I'm afraid the text is going to look horrible.

Then I was thinking of using 4 forms and split up the image into 4 different images which are displayed on the different screens. However to get a scrolling text right on 4 different forms, that's going to take some trial and error.

how I can achieve this form of digital signage?

I want to use VB.Net unless this would seem impossible and I have to use other software?

C# - Arranging Many Windows Forms On Screens

Jan 14, 2011

Issue : Is there any efficient way to arrange many independent Windows Forms in .Net? I have to display many forms at the same time in my application. It is a graphic charting application, and the number of forms depends of what the user wants, so it has to be dynamic. Is it possible to arrange it like with MDI Layout ?

Example: For example, if user chooses 12 output chart forms, I would like to have them auto-arranged 4x3 on the default screen. Ideally, User could even choose many target screens among the monitors he has.

Why not use MDI: I do NOT want MDI, since my application is multi-screen and I want to leave the opportunity to the user to put his external output chart windows scattered over different screens wherever he wants. But I would though like to have a default arrangement of output windows, without calculating manually screen and forms width/heights by dividing and stuff (Already doing this, it's a real pain). I would like to spare myself this ant-work and focus on business logic.

What I am looking for: If somebody knows an open source library or tool or cool method that could be great. By the way, I found a very useful and handy tool that could help people having the same needs I am formulating here: It is named AquaSnap, but unfortunately code is not Open Source. PS: Again, I Know how to do it "by hand" and assign monitors to forms. It is not the kind of answers I am looking for.

Application That Consists Of About 4 Screens - Slow Launch Time

Aug 23, 2010

I have an application that consists of about 4 screens. Screens can be changed by clicking on buttons or via menu item. I use about 16 to 17 tables in all for all 4 screens. I've publised the application and it works fine except that it takes about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to launch the application using the setup file that I save onto my PC. If I get lucky, a little over a minute is already fast for me. What can I do to help speed up the launch time?

VS 2010 Make A Form Resize On Smaller Screens?

Nov 15, 2011

I made a program on a computer with a big screen.I set it to open in 'maxamized state' , and I took away the top, so you can't close/resize/minimize it. How can I get the form to automatically resize to the screen size??

2) Is it possible to make a form ( in visual basic express edition 2011) not close when user shuts down computer and/or logs-off ...maybe run in back grond..?

3) Is there a code ( in visual basic express edition 2011) that can make the program start automatically when a user logs-in ?

4) Is there a code that can make something happen (e.g. play music, etc.) from e.g. 7:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M.

Game Programming :: Programming Such As OOP ?

Oct 30, 2011

I avidly create games in VB.net. Being a hobby programmer I give my games away for free. Since I'm a hobbiest without formal training I do try and educate myself on proper programming principles and follow them when programming such as OOP. There are however some things I have obviously missed being self-taught that perhaps I would know if I were formally educated. Once such issue that has really been my bane is how different classes (from now on referred to as objects) 'know' about each other WITHOUT programming specific interaction.

Okay imagine this, you have a space game and the following objects

[CODE]...............

Now each one of these objects has a Health, X,Y and Z private members and properties that are all inherited from clsSpaceEntity for argument sake. Now one way of programming collision between them would be to code out the following logic in the main game loop

[CODE].........................

Now this might seam okay if your talking about the simple example above but some of my games have tens or even HUNDREDS of objects that interact in this basic way. Is there a way in OOP to do the following... for each thing that inherits from clsSpaceEntity check against every other object that inherits this type (except itself) and if they collide then reduce health next? This sort of ability for a type of objects/class or whatever to be 'aware' of another and how they are the same/different and interact would save me tonnes and tonnes and TONNES of coding.

Interface And Graphics :: Listbox Event - Scrollbar That Comes With ListBox Is Too Small For Touch Screens

Jan 6, 2011

The scrollbar that comes with the ListBox is too small for touch screens, so I use my own scrollbar instead. But when you do this on various forms you end up repeating a lot of code. So my solution was to create a custom scollbar that has a property I can set to the control I want it to be a scrollbar for. In vb6, I can use the withevents keyword to get access to the control's events so that all the scrollbar related code can be in the custom scrollbar object I created, except...I had to create a refresh method for the consuming code to use to let the scrollbar know when the number of items changes. The scrollbar doesn't need to be told how many items there are because it has access to the control, but for a listbox there is no event to tie into when an item is added/removed so not 100% of the scrollbar related code could be encapsulated.
