I want to control the "My Cafe Pro" application using vb2008 as the front-end. The main function of "My Cafe Pro" is a time logger. The server can control all the clients connected to it (e.g shutdown). I want to control "My Cafe Pro" that even i don't actually open it. For example, i want to create a time code using the vb2008 program, i only click one button and bang!, the code was created on the "My Cafe Pro" application.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing some VB2008 code to control four 7-seg LEDs I bought from Velleman. They came with some example code in VB 5.0, and with instructions telling me to input 5 bytes at a time in the format Chr$() & Chr$() & etc. for the rest of the 5 bytes. When I try to do this using VB2008, it rejects the $ sign, so I've tried it using the Chr() format, which VB2008 allows. However, it doesn't work. Is Chr() the new version of Chr$() or are they different entities? In sending data to the LEDs, I'm using LiveComPort.WriteLine() as my command. (My serial port is called LiveComPort) I also tried it with LiveComPort.Write() asthe command. I know that my serial port and the LEDs are working, because they respond to the demo program provided by Velleman.

Super newbie here and I recently signed up just to address my problem. Please help me convert or at least tell me what to do on the following code to my vb2008.I saw this listing on a website and I like its simplicity. It was written in vb6.
here's the snippet:Design the form. Create a Command Button named as Command1 and copy that and paste it 11 times. This will create a control array.Then assign the text naming it 0-9 plus (.)dot and they are under one control array. Likewise create cmdOperator control array for the operators Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide. One button for equals and one for clear. All in all 17 buttons. 1 textbox serves as input and output.
Sorry if I'm in a rush here( I am already) but vb2008 its hard for me to learn control array. I have read a few post awhile here dealing with arrays in vb2008 but I'm overwhelmed with info and confusing for me to grasp the idea.

I'm working on a game for school, and having a bit of trouble getting keys to control movement properly. When I press down the correspondant arrow key to move the picturebox, it moves the picturebox once, then stops, waits, and then starts moving again continuously (like when you hold down a key in a word processor and it stalls for a bit before repeating the character).the code I'm currently using to move the picturebox is (moving it left as an example)

Here is the spec:
The client is prompted for their name and a personal reference number. If the application is successful then this number becomes the loan agreement reference number. If the applicant has a credit rating of 14 or more points the application is rejected. If the credit rating is less than 14 points then the client is prompted for the loan period (must be equal to 12, 24 or 36 months) and the amount required.
The cost of the loan is 6% if required over 12 months and 8% if over 24 months and 12% over 36 months. This is added to the loan. The applicant's net monthly income and total monthly outgoings are taken into account. If the monthly repayment is more than 25% of disposable income (net income outgoings), then the application is rejected. If the repayment is less than or equal to 25% then the loan is granted and a form is produced and printed with the relevant information, including the loan and repayment amounts.

View 5 RepliesWhat is the correct way to find the client area of the webbrowser control, WITHOUT the scroll bars ?
Any area/rectangle I get from the control seems to give me the entire control size, including scroll bars wether they are there or not.
I have tried detecting whether scroll bars are present and finding how wide they are to subtract from the entire control width, but have found no reliable way to acheive this.

View 2 RepliesI was studying visual basic 2008 and had reached almost 60% of it when I was told that my course curriculum included visual basic 2005. I will now have to reinstall visual basic 2005(.net framework 2) instead of visual basic 2008(3.5 .net framework). I was wondering- will it be completely different vb2005 and vb2008? I really wanted to stick to vb2008, I was getting the hang of it. Also, I was wondering, can I run my application vb2008 in .net framework? Is there any way around? Also, I used advanced installer to build a setup file for my application? Now the question is will the other computer(the one which will install from the set up) need .net framework of 3.5(since I built apps in vb2008)?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a VB2008 multi thread application working that connects to a local server program using sockets. Server requests for this particular system can be more quickly handled by a number of connections, so I've written some code to run any number of data request threads that I choose. The problem that I'm having is that the data returned from the server is getting mixed up and is often returned to a different thread/socket than the one that requested it. Other than that, it seems to work okay. If I use just one thread, then the system works as it should. Pls. see incuded code, which is heavily edited to remove all the other fruit salad. Is there any way to set up the sockets so that data returned to the socket/thread that requested it?
