View 3 RepliesI use DirectInput to control a joystick. Now I use a timer to continuously runs a sub
Private Sub timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
UpdateUI()
End Sub
Public Sub UpdateUI()
' This function updated the UI with
' Joystick state information.
[Code] .....
The problem is this is not very efficient. Now I would like to know if its possible to trigger a sub as soon a button D-sub of analog stick is pressed/moved. I've seen the following:

How to implement this?
i can simulate keyboard keys and i wonder if i could do the same but whit my joystick.
I can get input data whit directx but i doŽnt encounter a function to send virtual pulsations. i tried "setactionmap" property but it doesŽnt work.
All i wish to do is have some simple code, which can detect when the esc key is pressed, (if possible can you point out where i need to change to set it for an other key).
View 5 RepliesI have a webform and i want to detect if F5 button was pressed or if the page was refreshed. I know about postback but it is not what i'm looking for. I have a gridview that loads in a modal popup when a button is clicked and a parameter's value is set for the gridview. When refresh is hit and if the modal popup button was previously clicked the modal popup is visible right after refresh. I want to detect if the page is refreshed to prevent this. any ideas? I thought to try Override but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I tried Control.ModifierKeys but I don't have access to ModifierKeys.

[code] 'The description for the state.getbuttons() is:'Public Function GetButtons() as Byte (is a array of buttons).'The high-order bit of the Byte is set if the corresponding button is down, 'and clear if the button is up or does not exist.This code is used to show if certain buttons of a GamePad/joystick are pressed using the DirectInput method (DirectX SDK).This code shows how many buttons are pressed simultaneously. So 00 for zero and 00 01 if two buttons are pressed. I would like to know what button exactly is pressed (some kind of unique code for each button). But I can't get it done.
1. Is there a way so show all the bits inside the state.getbuttons()? (maybe there is a unique combination for each button).
2. What does &H80 mean?
I have been searching the forums but I keep finding ways to cause events to occur when a key is pressed. I'm trying to get a true/false if the "ctrl" + "L" keys are pressed when the form loads so it know whether to show itself or close
View 15 Repliesso i have a (quite simple sounding) question about how should i count how many buttons ive pressed in the program since i started it e.g:
1. i start up
2. i press 2 times on one button and 1 time on another
3. a label should say how many times ive pressed all buttons since startup
how should the code be for that?

View 1 RepliesHow can I tell what mouse buttons are being pressed at a certain time?
View 1 RepliesI wanna set up a panel, that will, when opend up will sit on the side of the screen. It will consist of around 8 or so large buttons each with a different name on them. When the buttons are clicked on they will send the keys Ctrl+shift+F9 for example. Each different button will have a different variation of keys that it will automaticly send. The idea behind this is that I will have another program running that will be se up to perform actions when certain keys are pressed (Autohotkey if your familiar).
Now I'll be honest, I dont have a clue with visual basic, or any code other than html, hence why I'm posting here hoping I can get some help. Can anyone provide me with some information on how to set up buttons or how to do this entire task?
I am having trouble with a blackjack game I am creating
I have buttons 1 - 13 (A-K)
I have 5 Textboxes which when the above buttons are pressed displays the values in the textboxes.
I also have one more textbox which adds up the values of the above 5 textboxes to give your Black Jack Total.
The problem I have is if an Ace (11) is in one of the textboxes and the Total Value exceeds 21 I need to have the Ace (11) change its value to 1 instead.
textbox 1 - 5 will be the card values
textbox6.text will be the total Value
I have tried......
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
This seems to work fine however it only solves the problem of an Ace (11) appearing in textbox1.text so i tried to repeat the code with the other boxes...
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox2.text = 11 then textbox2.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox3.text = 11 then textbox3.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox4.text = 11 then textbox4.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox5.text = 11 then textbox5.text = 1
However this does not work and my program freezes?
I've been searching for the answer for this all over, but I can't seem to find the solution. I have no idea how do this. A code that triggers an event after multiple command buttons are pressed in a certain order. For example: I press Command1, then Command2, then Command8, then Command5, then an event happens. It's kind of similar to entering a code to activate something.

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone have an example of use of a joystick in VB .NET or know where to find one?
DirectInput or not...it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to use a USB joystick within my program. I don't care how I do it.
I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

How to access Joystick in VC++ 2005
View 1 RepliesWhen I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.
