View 3 RepliesAlright, So i have two forms open. One in a listview and i have another window with a browser control in it. The browser is adding data to the listview but i made it so it hides while doing this using Me.Hide(). I can make it appear if i click the menu item "Show browser" i made.when im on Form1 (the listview) and its doing its thing with the browser window hidden. It keeps making form1 flash. Well not flash but like the browser window is poping to the front (while hidden) causing me not to be able to click on anything on Form1.This happen everytime the web browser navigates somewhere.Making Form1 always on top fixes it, but it also gets on top of other programs like my web browser . I want it to be on top only to the web browser.
View 1 RepliesProblem: I have a listview control that gets populated with devices that are offline and after so many failed attempts, it will begin to flash, alerting the user.The code I use currently works, but seems almost random. The first time an item is added, it flashes just fine. Once a second device gets added, both items will stop blinking. A third item being added causes only the 3rd item to blink (first 2 still not blinking).
Here is the code I am using.Question 1: Why is this behavior like this?Question 2: is there a better way to have a list item "flash"?*After so many failed attempts, it triggers a timer to start, and in the tick event is this code*

I have a datagrid with planned orders for loading (like the flight schedules at airports). If the status is "ready for loading" I would like that value to flash based on a timer. I managed to do it with text on a button, but because this is a datagrid it is more difficult for me and I am a bit confused.
Here is what I have for code;
Private Sub OrderOverviewDataGrid_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles OrderOverviewDataGrid.CellFormatting
If Me.OrderOverviewDataGrid.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Status" Then
[code]....
Everything works fine. The column "Dock1" has the right color and the statuses have the right colors to, but; I want the "Ready for loading" status to blink based on Timer_2 which I have put on the same form.
What would be the way to display random images in a picture box?When form opens, picture box displays random images, one after another (animated).When person pressed stop button, images stop randomly.

First attempt at using the error provider, I've set this up for each of the five text boxes I have on my form, when I click the button it shows the error provider flashing between the various boxes if I leave them all empty. Ideally I'd like the form to show the symbol next to the box thats empty, click the button and remove it from those which are correct leaving only the incorrect text boxes with the symbols. Any thoughts? [Code]

I have placed several PictureBox Images of different colored dots(which represent lights) on an image of a Christmas Tree. I can make the lights randomly flash using a randomGenerator and a Select case statement. However, the code is very long. There are 67 lights on this tree and the code is 71 pages long. There has to be an easier way to do this. So far I have tried the following with two images of lights just to see if it would work and it does not work:
Dim picLight(2) As
Boolean
For intX

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.

View 4 RepliesI'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.
Most of the code examples I'm finding show some predefined set points for Off, Low, Normal, Medium, High, and Very High like this:
Public Enum Volumes As Integer
OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459
[Code]....
OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.
