View 6 RepliesI'm looking forward to reading and adding more to the community here. I've created a text based rpg. Next semester we are learning Visual Basic. I'm on winter break and I would like to get a head start on my learning. I've been working on creating some forms and message boxes. What is throwing me off, is that I have a good feel for doing coding so that I get functionality the will produce effects in a console. Coding the forms is a bit confusing for me. Is this something that others have run into? Is their some good primers for VB? I don't have my text books yet.

View 2 RepliesI have an application (.net 3.5 app) that depends on odp.net (11g). I had installed the odp.net on the production machine, i deployed my binaries. The program works fine, however it displays an error like this:This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.The machine has Windows 2003 R2 as OS. This error occurs on the catch Oracle Exception block of my code. The program is supposed to display a message box indicating the error. It works as expected in my development machine..
View 2 RepliesThe form has 2 ComboBox and 1 NumericUpDown controls. I would like to change value of NumericUpDown based on selection in ComboBox. For example:
ComboBox1 has three value. for instance, AAA, BBB, CCC
ComboBox2 has three value. for instance, DDD, EEE, FFF
The NumericUpDown should has range 0-6 sum of both ComboBox. For instance, if user select from ComboBox1 AAA and from ComboBox2 EEE the NumericUpDown should display value 5.
I have spent at least 6 hours trying to write a program that will send emails to a constant list of email addresses. I was trying to make it so all that I need to type is the subject, body, and "nickname". I wanted to use the same email to send the message every time (yahoo or gmail address), and the recipients to be a constant list of emails.

View 2 RepliesI create an app, with it when I click a button it opens a new form on a second monitor.
This works perfectly, but every first time the app start and I open the second form, on my primary screen (right side) I see the border of the second form. When I click the button again, the form is hidden, and when I click it again, it appears again but then the border is gone.

I am using VB 2008 express edition. How can I use progress bar with time? i.e.
Progressbar.value = Duration of the running the code
Progressbar.maximum = Maximum time of running
For example:
Timing4 = DateTime.Now
For Generation1 = 1 To Number_of_Generations
'MyCode
Next Generation1
Timing3 = DateTime.Now
Label8.Text = (Generation1 / Number_of_Generations) * 100 & " % Completed"
How can put this with a progress bar?

I am developing an application that prompts an user for doing certain tasks in a form. What i want is that a certain message should be popped for a certain amount of time and then close (probably say 2 seconds or so). I tried doing it with message boxes but they do not close on their own as they are designed to be modal (to wait for user command ). i do not want to display the text in a textbox of listbox. Is there a certain way i could do this.
View 4 RepliesI have the code below which works fine, however, if a mandatory field is not populated it prompts a message box, what I want to do is display ONLY one message box and show all the messages at one go, instead of one at a time. Also, I want the cursor to be prompting to the next mandatory field to be inserted according to the list.

Popup window / message for remaining time

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to time how long an operation takes in Visual Basic (VS 2008) but its not working. the code I have is as follows:
[code]...
this is in an OnClick event, so what happens is that the user can click a menu item, and it goes and sends any changes it has to a database, and pulls down any new changes to a local data cache. This operation takes time, depending on how many changes are on the server and how many are cached locally. I've thought about making this a background task, so it doesn't draw away from the main app while it's running, but before doing that, I'd like to get an idea how long the operation takes. Since I can't exactly do a progress bar, I figured using the stopwatch would tell me how many ticks/milliseconds would occur between click, and when the "total synced" message comes up, but every time i run it and do an update the message always shows 0 ticks/ms. I don't think it's accounting for the delay, just from start to finish. Is there any way to make it so it detects a message popping up and times off that?
I'm filling a FlowLayoutPanel with an array picturebox that depends of the number of files in a selected folder. The problem is that images appear stretched, and I want to keep the aspect ratio. Resizeimage is the resizing rutine and works fine. The clicked image wil be shown in a picturebox with a new sise (bigger).

I have added a timer control to a VB.NET windows form to have a message flash on and off between ticks. When I load the form I have the timer disabled. When i click on a command button, I set Timer1.Enabled to True so that the timer can begin flashing the message. The timer does not flash the message. I added a MsgBox function after where I turn on the timer. When the message box is displayed and I click OK, then the timer starts flashing the message. I turn the timer off later and that seems to work fine. I have tried the Timer1.Start() method but that does not work. Any thoughts on why the message box allows it to run but the form does not?

View 2 RepliesI have Visual Basics 2008 express and I tried to make a autotyper, so this is my
Button1: Timer1.Start
Timer1: Timer2.Start
Timer2: SendKeys.Send(Textbox.text)
Button2: Timer2.Stop
So it was my first try ever with VB and it kind of worked... Only 2 problems;
1. Button 2 doesn't really work, I have to click it really many times, then go to a different window, then click it really many times again, in the meantime it keeps on spamming
2. How do I make my autotyper press enter every single time after the textbox message was typed?
I'm having an issue with the startup of my build app with vb2010.Let me explain what the situation is at the moment.
I have a form and a splashscreen. I use the application events (startup event) to check if there is a network connection, if so the splashscreen will run and it will check if the database is available, if this is the case, it will copy the online database to the local ms access database.If the startup check of the network is false, it the user gets a message that there isn't any network available and the program will try to run normal, then when the user clicks the ok button of that message, it will check if the local database has any records. If so the splashscreen will run and the program starts normal (without copy the database, because there isn't any network available).The issue that I am having is, that when there isn't a network connection and the local database is empty, (I do get the message that the local database is empty), but the program still runs, while it should exit.Here is the code of the application event:
Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize(commandLineArgs As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)) As Boolean
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000[code]......
So that's how I want it:
If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!
