I'm trying to make a game in Visual Basic, but I can't figure out how to add in different levels.
Essentially, what I'm looking for is the Tab Control, minus the tabs. On a different note, is there a way to make a group of controls? Like instead of
TextBox1.Text = "Hello"
TextBox2.Text = "Hello"
I could have something along the lines of TextBoxGroup.Text = "Hello"
I'm trying to create a basic mmo game for fun in vb.net. I have done it before with a game api but I'm recently reformat my computer and can no longer find it. I'm trying to dynamically create a new picture box that will be my character or NPC and I can get the image to show up on the screen correctly but I'm not able to use "myGuy" anywhere else in the project. So the character basically sits there and does nothing. I'm wondering if there is away to call "myGuy" (myGuy.Top = 40) in another sub? If you know of a good game api that is not a hog and not expensive let me know.

when the user runs the program for the first time, it will ask for his name. After his name has been entered and he clicks Ok, the main menu comes up. From there he can click Start to begin the first level of the game. After he finishes that level, I want the application to save his progress so it knows what level he last finished. Then when the user decides to quit the application entirely and restart it, I want the application to skip the name dialog and go straight to the main menu since he already has a saved game. Then when he clicks start, it will start off with the last level he finished.
I also added an option in the main menu where the user can reset all his data. So next time the application starts, it will ask for his name as if it was starting up for the first time.
I have finally been stumped this semester in my Visual basic course. Mainly because I have to write a program that is started from something that I have not created. I have to create a program that will take in info from the user, then spit out the poker hand that they are holding. For instance, the user will type in 1 for ace, 2 for 2, 3 for 3......10 for 10, 11 for Jack, and then in the next column type in C for Clubs, S for Spades.. and so on. Here is the code I have been given:

Here is a wierd case - I am making a game in Visual Basic Express 2008 with several forms. Each windows form I've given a quit command that works well to end the game.

I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:

a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1

View 1 Repliesi have a login form and it has 3 user levels - admin, manager & accountant - which have limited privileges using the system. For ex., if admin logged in, this user can access the whole system; if manager logged in, this user can only access the employee records; & accountant user can only access the payroll.
i actually have the idea but because i lack knowledge about vb.net, i don't know how to code it.

At the main menu, buttons are enabled & disabled depending on the user level that was entered.
hello everyone, i m using treeview control in vb .net . How do we usee a recursive function to add data at different levels from different tables in a database.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a recursive subroutine.I have the dataset from sql-server with in the datasource-table a parent- and a child-column.
I made a routine to put the parent-nodes in the tree.The problem starts with the childs over so many levels.I can write it out but it is to much code, I'm sure it can be done more efficient with a recursive subroutine.
.tv_Ana.Nodes(A).Nodes(B).Nodes(C).Nodes(D).Nodes(E).Nodes(F).Nodes(G).Nodes(H).Nodes.Add(Trim(sLev_nI + "-" + row_nI("MidCod").ToString()))
The tree will be about 25 levels deep.A few days ago I saw a recursive subroutine to fill the childnodes without the above difficulty to write alle the levels in code.That example I cannot find it any more, but it had a line of code more or less like this here below:
Dim
Nodes As TreeNodeCollection = tv.Nodes(A).Nodes
but it doesn't work yet!
I have a requirement to create a multi level treeview in ASP.Net (with VB) but I am completely stuck on how to start this. Currently my treeview is a fixed 2 level approach but now I need to rewrite this to be more dynamic and support extra levels being added into our database tables.So this treeview needs to support as many levels as needed without having to rewrite any code each time we want to add new level, Ideally we will just insert the data at the database level.I think I have the database part designed correctly, I created 2 tables Menu and MenuItemsMenu has 2 columns ItemID and ChildIDMenuItems has 2 columns ItemID and Description Doing this query:
SELECT
menu.Item_ID,
menu.Child_ID ,

View 2 RepliesWith a steady tone feeding my audio input jack, the VU meters jump and bounce about 30%. I can also see the problem in the byte array of the capture buffer. I am running 8 bit mono so there isn't a chance that I'm getting a byte swap in a 16 bit word. My on board sound card is "Realtek HD Audio Input", direct sound 1.0.2902.0 and XP. Here is the real kick in the head, if I run anything that captures sound using the winmm library or if I use the winmm library in my application along with direct sound, the meters become stable. No errors are reported. Although I have written this in vb.net, I download another persons application that was written in C++ that uses direct sound with the same bouncing meters. I used the VU meters in Audacity to look at my audio levels and they are stable.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a multiple choice quiz, admin screen, student login screen where they choose their level of difficulty. I have been able to start the quiz, have the questions and answers filled, user answers question, check if correct or not, if correct then the score is incremented.I am able to set up a variable for 'level' and want to write some code so that whatever is selected then that table / questions will be selected and displayed to the user.
The way I'm thinking at the moment seems very long winded. I think I'll have to write an IF ELSE statement/case statement for each of the 'navigaterecords' and the sql statment for beginners, intermediate and advanced.Assume there is a variable 'LEVEL' - have not actually done this yet. Where the code refers to 'advanced' is where I have been trying it out to select questions from the advanced table.

I want to make different levels of access for a vb.net program i'm writing.I have a database called "stratocast". I want to show a specific form for entries in this table with "IsManager" checked and another specific form for those with "IsAdmin" checked.Im using MySql server and visual basic 2010 express
EDIT:To clear up any misconceptions about my post, ill explain further: In my vb.net application i have a login form with two textboxes; One for the username and one for password. I also have three other forms, one is called "frmAdmin", another called "frmManager" and another one called "frmEmployee".
On my database i have a table called "employee" with columns called "name", "title", "IsManager", "IsAdmin", "Username" and "Password".
IsManager and IsAdmin are both Boolean columns
This means that their values can only be 0 or 1 and the result is displayed as a checkbox.When the employee logs into this applcation i want it to check whether or not the employee is a manager, an administrator, or just a regular employee with no additional rights. If the employee is a manager, i want to show "frmManager". If the employee is an Administrator i want to show "frmAdmin". And if the employee has no additional rights then i want to show "frmEmployee".
I'd like to keep the configuration for access level checking confined to the one table but if it's better to have separate tables for each level of access (ie: tables called Admin,Manager, and Employee) then ill consider that too.

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'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.
