I was proposed an offer to create a piece of software to detect weather a game cdkey I think cod4 is either in use or banned I was not sure how I would do this, I can add the cdkey in quite easily but I wasn't sure to tell if it was in use or banned.
View 5 Repliesi am making a mini calculator and I have two problems with my current validation setup in the code. The code concerned is below:[code]Basically, I only want to allow numbers in the text box. When I enter a letter for example, the message comes up ok, but then when the box is clicked away, the rogue letter remains. Can someone tell me how to clear it properly?Also, when I use the backspace button in the box (pretend I want to change my input from 3 to 37), then the messagebox is prompted when I don't want it to be. I only want it to appear when a letter is entered.
1) How to I clear the banned characters from the text box after the message is clicked off
2) How do I get VB to ignore any backspace presses to prevent the messagebox from coming up.

I need to check if the CD drive has a disc inserted, no matter the disc is blank or full.
I tried to get the IO.DriveInfo.IsReady, but a blank disc also return False. Then I tried to get the TotalSize, if there is no disc, it returns an exception tells drive is not ready, and if the disc is blank, it returns function error. How can I determine which error is responsible to the one which no disc is inserted? I should not check the error msg because it will change on different computer of different language.

View 5 RepliesI have a weather station from a company called BIOS that comes with a program that reads the data from the USB port of the weather station and then displays it on the computer screen. The GUI interface is very simple and I need to be able to come up with a beefier application. Mainly, I want an application that e-mails me when certain limits are exceeded (Indoor temperature for instance). My question is, any exmples of code that might interpret information from a USB port so that I can write the rest of my application around it?
View 2 RepliesI'm completing an application to display a weather report - unfortunately i can't seem to get the name entered to appear in the message shown and i can't get each picture to appear individually when the radio button related is chosen. Here is the question i'm working off followed by the code i have got so far:
Create an application to display a weather report. The user can choose one of the radio buttons and display an icon and a message. The message should give the weather report in words and include the person's name (taken from the text box at the top of the form). For example if the user chooses the sunny button, you might display "It looks like sunny weather today, John" (assuming that the user entered John in the text box). Include keyboard access keys for the radio buttons and buttons. Include tooltips.

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.

I have created a scrabble game that generates random letters. For the user to type in a word using the random letters they have to type it in a text box.
I want my program to prevent users from typing in letters that are not provided in the text box and to allow them to type in the random letters that are provided.
I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.
I am trying to make a game which basiclly lets you shoot ducks. i have a picture as a background (set as form image) i then have picturebox's with ducks flying flying around you shoot them the disapear etc.
My problem is the image. i have a picture of a duck and a blue square round it. and i would liketo make it transparant because birds dont fly with blue squares.

Upon changing the field size a game should restart. Upon trying to do so I see the previous grid (e.g. 10x10) displayed on top of the new one (e.g. 4x4). How would I prevent this and indeed start the game fresh?

I currently have a who wants to be a millionaire game that I have made in visual basic 2010. Each question is in its own form. Form1 opens at the start, and question 1 is opened by a button click on Form1. The user has to click on the picture box at the side to show the text for the question each time. If they answer incorrectly, it displays a message box, opens an input box asking for their name, and goes to the form with the high score list, Form17.
Upon opening Form17, I want the scores to load and be displayed in the list box. The high scores are saved in a text file at C: est.txt . Upon clicking menu or end, the high scores are saved to the text file.
I m writing a video poker style game. the form consists of the player's 5 cards, a deal button, a hold button for each card, a button to select amount to play that hand. im using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
