I want to make a drawing application which needs a few drawing functions I cant handle myself as im not very mathematicly inclined The first on the list of functions is to create an arc from a start point, end point and radius. The method signature is as followes.
Function CreateArc(byval StartPoint as PointF, EndPoint as PointF, Raduis as single) As PointF()
'Code to create an array of points...
I have a Diagonal line drawn on a picture box on my forum and i need to know if the user has clicked the line I have the Start point and End Point of the Line and the mouse x,y location So i basically need to find out if the x,y of the mouse is on the line.
I have a DataGridView that will occasionally have a RowError icon displayed in the RowHeader (shown below)I have code that displays a small form when the users mouse moves over the row header or clicks the row header.I would like to draw aline from the top-left of the form to the middle-right of the row header.I basically want to point from the form to the error icon.
I hve been working with points a lot recently, and I have been wondering if there is a way to set a point without setting point.x and point.y separately. For example for (3, 5): Point1 = (3, 5) But that isn't right
I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.
i have a picturebox which displays a map i have 2 modes add point and delete point when the user clicks the picture it creates a point on the picture where the user has clicked that works perfectly its when i try and delete the point when it doesent work :/ i have all the points loading from an xml file this is the code i have:
[Code]...
basicly i want it to when the user clicks the point it fines the x any y in the xml delete the node then delete all the points on the map then reload them all according to the xml
I'm trying to calculate the direction between two points on a two-dimensional grid. Actually I want to determine if that vector is within a range of two values. Suppose the grid's origin is 0,0 at the upper left corner, and 0 degrees represents north. I have a point A on that grid. I want to know if a line from point A to point B on the grid is within a range of directions between 111.8 degrees (a little south of east) and 158.2 (a little east of south). Those are approximations; the 111.8 is 90 degrees plus the arctangent of 2/5, and 158.2 is 180 minus that value. I worked out a series of calculations worthy of a medieval astronomer, but I suspect there is a simpler way. I'm going to have to do this for a variety of other vectors, and I'd like to generalize
I know how I can construct an icon setting point by point, but that isn't what I want. I want to use a bitmap file or a jpeg -is easy to convert an jpeg to an bitmap- and built an icon that looks like this picture.
i wanta like is like a maze each time u click it exendese the line.the promblem is the walls and well i dont know how to draw line(+ a {} at each connecting point) and have the line not be able to pass the wall and if it pass it, it able to detect the shorts path of lines which u can set it on if off. for the training session.
First, the overall objective is to find the best point within a multipoint filled 'star', at which to start drawing text. That is, depending upon the size of the star and the number of points, there is a larger or smaller area within the points that is filled with colour. So a 5 point star has a relatively small area that is filled, in which to draw text. A 40 point star of the same radius has a much larger area filled. If I can determine the size of this area as a rectangle, then I can measure the string and draw within it using the best fit font and starting position. The code below is an attempt to answer the question but I am stuck trying to find the text area rectangle within the filled portion of the star. Some of the code exists purely to explore the means to determine how to identify this rectangle (and is probably the totally wrong direction).
The second part of the problem is in exploring the options, I tried to draw a vector to different points on the circumference of the star. This is the code highlighted. The lines drawn do not seem to be the correct length nor the correct angle but I cannot see why.[code]...
I need to move an ellipse from a known point on the screen to another known point on the screen.
I've tried using For.....Loops with less than desired results.
I can't remember everything I've tried, a lot of trial and error has been layed to waste. Lol
I've ended up with this code after putting together what I've tried, what I've learned elsewhere, and a couple of posts I've read on here.
All I want to do is move the ellipse from one point to the other along a straight line that forms the angle between the two points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2), make it grow from 2 pixels at it's start, to about 80 pixels by the time it reaches half way, then shrink from 80 pixels back down to 2 pixels by the time it reaches the point (X2,Y2).
Easier said than done.
Here's what I have at the present.....
Dim W As Integer Dim H As Integer Dim Num As Integer

....This seems like such a simple task, yet it's been a week since I came up with the idea, and I've had little success.
i want to work on a shooting game,and i already have a code for the rotation of the image but i have a few problemFirst problem(for the tank /ship): i want the image to AUTOMATICALLY rotate facing the mouse cursor,i know how to rotate but but i dont know how to convert the location of the mouse to an angle that the image will face,,
I'm drawing a rectangle snapped to a grid by getting the start point(Mouse down e.location) and the end point(mouseup(e.location). The coding I'm having trouble with is having the program determine which way to draw the rectangle(where the location should be, and the height and width.) Now, this would be extremely simple if the user started their rectangle from the top left corner and ended it in the bottom right every time. But you need to be able to drag from all angles. So does anyone have some code lying around that I could look at so I could actually get my rectangles drawn right?
Kind of stuck with an Excel automation thing. The problem is how to change xaxis start point. The end point can be changed, with tis
CODE:
Now the xrange should be 10-100, and the plotted line is started at 10 but the xaxis is still at 0. Normally from excel it's just to format the xaxis and select for ex 10, but how to do it from VB?
I'm interested in this line mostly but the full sub is below. I get the point of the sub. It is turning hex D5 into binary but I can't figure what this line is doing. It looks like it's saying if (213 And 128) = 128 then... I don't understand the comparison or math or whatever.
Dim mybyte As Long = &HD5 Dim x As Int32 For x = 0 To 7
I work for a Aerial advertising company, and am trying to build a app that will measure a distance from one zip code to another, and then spit out a price (like if somebody wanted to fly a "Please Merry me" banner for their girlfriend) based on that distance (in air miles, not road travel). I guess I will have to use a Map api, but how in the world do I do this? I have built a very basic app, so I know some progamming, but I have never used a API.
In created a small window's form app and when I try to install it on a cpu running Vista I get the following error when I run the app:"the procedure entry point lstrcpyml could not be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.dll"
i know it might be impossible to achieve (as i've been reading from another articles) but does anyone know how to set a dll entry point in VB.net project? I have created a VB.net dll and trying to call that dll from cobol (unmanaged code). in Cobol, i can only use the entry point statement to call VB.net dll (cannot add reference to it). as consequence, i'm getting "called program not found" (or in VB error is equal to "can't find dll entry point")
