I was transferring a lot of controls from one form to another and somehow along the way I ended up with a lot of "extra" controls and apparently when you do this they don't retain their Names so they are all default-type names (Label1, Textbox1, etc)I can see them all listed in the properties window dropdown box, but they are not on the form. Selecting them from the dropdown does not reveal where they are at on the form either.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create and remove a series of controls programatically. The user will have a numeric updown to pick a number. The program will then create a bunch of duplicate controls based on whatever number they pick on the fly.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub NumericUpDown1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles numberDebts.ValueChanged[code].....
The creation part works just fine.As the number is toggled upward a new label is created.However whenever I remove labels it acts very strangely.The first time I bring it down it works just fine. Then the next 3 do nothing but the 4th removes another line.I can also toggle back and forth and it will eventually remove the label. So for example.
Starts with 1 selected - 1 label visible (1)
Change to 2 - 2 labels visible (1-2)
Change to 3 - 3 labels visible (1-3)[code]....
If I toggle back and forth between 2 and 3 eventually label 4 will go away.I want only 1- my numeric up down value to be displayed and have everything else after that removed.
With several forms of mine, I occasionally run into the following issue: I edit the form using the designer (Visual Studio 2008, Windows Forms, .NET 2.0, VB.NET) to add components, only to find out later that some minor adjustments were made (e.g. the form's size is suddenly changed by a few pixels), and controls get deleted. This happens silently — event-handling methods automatically have their Handles suffix removed, too, so they never get called, and there's no compiler error. I only notice much later or not at all, because I'm working on a different area in the form.
As an example, I have a form with a SplitContainer containing an Infragistics UltraListView to the left, and an UltraTabControl to the right. I added a new tab, and controls within, and they worked fine. I later on found out that the list view's scrollbar was suddenly invisible, due to its size being off, and at least one control was removed from a different tab that I hadn't been working on.
Is this a known issue with the WinForms Designer, or with Infragistics? I use version control, of course, so I can compare the changes and merge the deleted code back in, but it's a tedious process that shouldn't be necessary. Are there ways to avoid this? Is there a good reason for this to occur?
One clue is that the control that was removed may have code (such as a Load event handler) that expects to be run in run time, not design time, and may be throwing an exception. Could this cause Visual Studio to remove the control?

it plays the sound once then will not play any other sound at all.

View 2 Repliesi have a little project I have been working on over the past few days just a simple piano project, during making it I used directx sdk To allow me to play multiple wav files at the same time. everything worked out great got the piano working and was able to play some sound effects while I banged out a master piece on the piano . So the next step was to make an exe file , I knew that once I used directx sdk I might run into a problem when trying to make an exe to run on all my PCs that dont have directx sdk installed on them .
My question is it possible to make an exe that will allow my program to run on any pc even without directx sdk installed?

View 3 RepliesI Would like to make an appliaction in c# (or vb.net) that records every sound that comes out from the speakers when i tell it to, and when im finished i want to push a button and save it as an mp3 (or some other format).

Is there anything in the .NET framework or is there some API for making this possible?
I would like to disable some or all system sounds for a .NET 3.5 application.
I cannot find anything around System.Media.SystemSounds that turns off sound settings that the user has chosen via the control panel.
I want to play system sounds with .NET code in my app - no problem if I want to use Beep, Asterisk etc as I can just use: My.Computer.Audio.Play SystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk)But what if I want to play something like 'Menu Pop-up'? This sound is off by default in the Windows Default Sound Scheme, but if the user has set this sound up to do something then I want to play it.The user could have assigned any wav file to this action so I want to find which (if any) sound they have assigned and play it. Compatibility with Windows versions back to XP is also essential.

My.Computer.Audo.Play("file.wav")
or?
Sound.PlayWaveFile("file.wav") from this class: http:[url]....etc they all don't work
They do NOT throw any exceptions, they just dont play the music, the test demo of the Sound Class works like a charm, its just not working in our project..same with My.Computer. Audio. Play.what could we have done to make it so that we can't play sounds from our application?
PS: this problem occurs on all of the computers we test it on, yet the normal sound-playing methods seem to work on all of those computers when they are implemented in other projects.. its just not working in these instances
Is it possible to stream more than two sounds simultaneously in .NET without using DirectX?
To obtain foreground and background effects I currently use the following:
' Background music
Private bkMusic As New SoundPlayer(My.Resources.bkm)
[CODE]..................
SoundPlayer is a wrap around to the win32 API:
Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
While for actual in game sound effects I am using a class that implements:
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpszCommand As String, ByVal lpszReturnString As String, ByVal cchReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long
It works. 1 snd effect at a time overlapping / mixing with the background music. But I am on the hunt for a better method which allows me to stream multiple snd effects simultaneously. DirectX is not an option, because most people (my audience) don't have the SDK (software development kit)

I just got back into VB since being, at best, a hobby programmer with VB6. Wow, so much has changed since then, so I feel like I am starting all over again.
After much hunting and searching, I found that great code sample that shows the input from the game pad/joystick. (Finding visual basic 2008 and gamepad input information isn't easy!)
Now I want specific buttons to play a random file from a specific folder.
The application runs on a Netbook, which is a bit light on resources. I would prefer to play WAVs and MP3s with something that's less resource intense than windows media player. (Perhaps its very easy to do so from the code level. I've noticed WMP is so loaded with visualizations and so forth, its hard to turn all that crap off)
is it possible to add effects to sounds that are playing using the mediaplayer control?. i have tried using directsound which works good and i can add effects to the sounds playing but it wont play mp3 files and i have looked all over for information on directshow which does play mp3s but all the examples i managed to find all have about 50 lines of code just to play one track and dont show how to add effects.
i need to play several sounds at the same time and add different effects to each track and also be able to play - stop - pause each individual track at will mediaplayer i can do this but dont know how to add effects directsound i can do all of this but cant play mp3s.is there any way to add effects using mediaplayer control? or does anyone please know where i can see a code example in directshow that adds effects to the sounds playing?
How can I disable temporarily a module ? If it cant then how can I disable the sounds of my form? I have a mouseover, hover and click event sound in my form and I want it to be disabled in my options. I make a module thinking that if I can disable my module but the use of a checkbox then it might work but if it will not the how can I do that? im thinking also of a simple if statement but I prefer simplier ones like disabling my module.

View 6 RepliesI know how to access and play the system sounds using vb.net, and I also know that using the registry to save users' settings isn't ideal, however, The details of my project are rather long and drawn out, so I'll skip most of them Basically my program is loaded onto several computers on our network. The entire purpose of this program is to sound various alarms on different dates and times. Apparently I am to set up the program so that the different alarm sounds can be configured through Windows' control panel.
I can add the program into the appropriate part of the Registry in order to make that happen. The problem is reading the the information back. Under the name of the app, I have four different subkeys, each with the name of one of the alarms. Under those keys are two other subkeys, .default and .current. How do I get the sound from .current to play? For some weird reason I get null returned any time I try to read the key that I created.
Its me again the newb programmer. lol why does it not allow you to play 2 sounds at the same time? the back ground loop ends when the button click sound is played :/ and I'm using vb express 2008 .net
