View 15 RepliesScrolling/Changing The Screen?
Aug 22, 2009Well in some games I want to make, I want to be able to move or change the screen. I will just post examples of some of the things that I would like to do.
ex. Like in an RPG game where you go inside of a building
ex. Press a key and a menu comes up
ex. Click a button to change the screen to a different part of your game( in a restaurant, click a button and you got to the kitchen)
ex. Scrolling screen as in an RPG or adventure game
ex. 2 player split screen where they both have scrolling screens
I was thinking I could achieve this by haveing more than 1 form but you can only see 1 and it switches between them but I doubt I could do that.
Display Text To Screen Via Timer?

Currently the program starts by displaying a character to screen, but I would like it to first wait 5 seconds before displaying the first character.
Then the character should not change until the user presses the corresponding character, upon which after a further 5 seconds a new character appears.
VS 2008 Window Larger Than Screen Without Scrolling?
May 30, 2010Okay: I've been searching the threads and MSDN and elsewhere and either its not there or I am simply not understanding what I am finding.I have an image which at full resolution is larger than my screen (actually it is larger than any screen). I want to be able to look at parts of it at full resolution in a client area that is the size of the entire image at full res; that is, I want the window to exist without any scroll bars and want to be able to examine different parts of the image by repositioning the window on the desktop.
In general, I've run into trouble insofar as windows (or maybe VB) won't let me make my window any larger than my operative desktop (although interestingly it will let me place the window to the North-West of my visible screen). What it won't let me do so far is to grow my window any larger than my desktop.
So far I have noodled a couple of different possibilities, in descending order of preference:
(1) Find some way to exempt my window from the limitation that it be smaller than the desktop;
(2) Virtually increase the size of my desktop so that it is as large or larger than my image (i.e., find some way of exempting my desktop from the limitation that the desktop represent the dimensions of the screen/monitor -- understanding that those two are not the same);
(3) Simulate a multi-monitor configuration (I'll probably need at least four); or
(4) Actually configure my system for four+ monitors (I don't even know whether that's possible, but its certainly not my first choice).
Does any one have any other ideas or suggestions as to how I ought to proceed?[URL]..

View 1 RepliesForm Height Limit, Make The Form Larger Than The Screen And Allow For Scrolling Down?
Nov 17, 2011I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.

C# - Get Smartphone Like Scrolling For A Winforms Touchscreen App ( Scrolling Panel )?
Aug 5, 2011After scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

View 2 RepliesAuto-Scrolling A Text Box?
Oct 10, 2009I have a read only multiline text box I'm using as an output box for a continuous string of data, when my data gets to the end of the last visible line the scroll bar activates and my text vanishes past the bottom edge of the text box and I have to manually scroll the text box to get back to the end of my data. is there anything I can do to make the text box scroll up so I always see the end of the data stream being past to it?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text & TextBox1.Text
End Sub
End Class
Above is a really quick and dirty bit, take input from one textbox and output to the other using a button click or some such. After so many button clicks get the text box to scroll without doing it manually with a scroll bar, so you always see the latest entry.

View 6 RepliesRich Text Boxes And Scrolling?
Feb 24, 2012Using VS/VB 2010 and a windows form that will display 2 rich text boxes. The basic idea is to load rtb_1 with "primary data" and rtb_2 with "corresponding notes" underneath rtb_1. Scenario:
When the user clicks a button_1, rtb_1 is displayed on the form with size(1232, 364) and the main data loaded into it from a file.When the user clicks button_2, the size of rtb_1 is "new size(1232, 200)" and rtb_2 is displayed directly below it with size(1232,168).Does anyone know why the scroll bar works fine for rtb_1 w/out rtb_2 showing... but when the rtb_2 is displayed the rtb_1's scroll bar does not allow me to go to the very bottom of the text?
Scrolling Lines Of Text On A Form?
Feb 4, 2012I am trying to scroll lines of text on a Form.
ie:
I add via (addString plus fill Path to give Outline Text) for say eight lines of text (which fill the screen with margins set at top and bottom) from a DatagridView control but there are say ten lines to that section, so I want to use the down arrow to scroll the lines up the screen, so the top two go off the top of the screen(hiden by margin boxes) and the last two added at the bottom. I have this all working but there is a lot of flickering, how can I do this more smoothly? I think it is the Form.refresh that causes the flickering, I have tried ResetText, Invalidate and Graphic.Clear, but none seem to make it smooth.
Sections of code:
'Adds line
For A = LineStart To LineSelEnd + 1
strItem = DataGridView1.Item(1, A - 1).Value
Dim useFont As Font = New Font(SongFont, CInt(SongSizeP), SongStyle)

Automatically Scrolling Text Box Info Into View?
Sep 21, 2011In a project I'm working on studying Regular Expressions in matching text in a text box to the regular ezpression. The indexes and lengths of matches in a text box are stored in a list box. When I click an index, I use the info to set the text box selection Start and Selection Length so I can quickly observe all of the matches in the text box by clicking or using the arrow keys to scan through the text box listings.
It works great except when large amounts of text are in the text box, some of the matches are scrolled off the visible area of the text box so it is necessary to manuall scroll throught the text box, which reduces the usefulness of the setup.Is there a way to get the text box to automatically scroll into hidden text that is marked with the selectstart and selectlength so they are all automattically displayed when the list box is clicked?
Correct Dim Command For Scrolling Text Operation?
May 16, 2010I am working on a scrolling text operation within a VB.net/ASP.net application. However, I am getting an error command from the following two commands:
Me.ScrollingMarquee.InnerHtml
Return Me.ScrollingMarquee.ClientID
The error is that the InnerHtml and ClientID properties are not recognized as members of the class. Apparently I am not using the correct DIM command for "ScrollingMarquee" (e.g. "Dim ScrollingMarquee As Control" is incorrect)).
Create A Scrolling Text Marquee Control?
Aug 27, 2004Intent: To teach the user how to create a control that scrolls text at an adjustable speed across the control.What you'll need:Visual Studio.NET (2002 or 2003) - The version I built this with is 200325 Minutes of free timeI don't remember what prompted me to create this control, except that I was sitting at my desk one day and thought to myself?
1. First open the Visual Studio IDE.
2. Select 'New Project'.
3. From the project languages, select 'Visual Basic'.
4. From the project types, select 'Windows Control Library'.
5.Once the initial project has finished loading there's a couple of things that you may want to do first. The first one being, change the control name to something that means something. "UserControl1" just won't do, so in the 'Solution Explorer' right click on the "UserControl1.vb" file and click 'Rename'. Without removing the '.vb' file extension, type the name of the control. In this case lets call it 'ScrollingMarquee.vb'.
6. Now back to the control design area. Add a timer control to your project from the toolbox. Set the enabled property to 'True' and set the interval to 100. Right click on the control area (the actual control itself, not the timer) and click on 'View Code'. This will take you to the code area of project.
7. Enter the code as is written displayed below.
Code:Imports System.DrawingImports System.Drawing.Drawing2DImports System.ComponentModel
Public Class ScrollingMarque Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
[code]....
Just want to make sure that each time we move the control or resize it,'it re-renders correctly.Invalidate()End SubEnd Class8.Next select 'Build -> Build ScrollingMarquee'.9. Once you have any bugs worked out (there shouldn't be any, but in case there are), you can change the build mode to release and rebuild the control for use in your projects.

Make A Scrolling Text Label At The Bottom Of A Form?
Oct 16, 2008I'm attempting to make a scrolling text label at the bottom of a form. It is the type of scroll you can see on the weather station when there is a tornado warning out. I was wondering if someone could help me go about doing it?
Basically, I am trying to have a label, which scrolls smoothly. The scroll text will be the contents of a string variable. I was also wondering if it would be possible to have the entire scroll "disappear" as the end of it scrolls onto the left side of the screen, then it pauses for a moment, and starts the scroll again, playing an alert tone each time.
