View 2 RepliesI downloaded smallbasic which is great, I then wanted to go to the next step and use visual basic. What I want to do is load a picturebox with a random picture from flickr. In smallbasic this is a simple step eg
pic = Flickr.GetRandomPicture("mountains")
GraphicsWindow.DrawResizedImage(pic, 0, 0, 640, 480)
This gets a random picture with a moutnains tag from flickr and puts it in a graphics window.
I want to do the same in visual basic 2008. I can load a picturebox component from a know web location as follows; PictureBox1.ImageLocation = [url]
I have looked at some information on flickr and the code looks excessive going into details about authorizing etc. I want to use visual basic 2008 as I need the extra flexibility that it gives over smallbasic.
i am a complete beginner in VB, I need help for a very simple cards game that I am doing. I need to associate a random picture to a Picturebox every time that I click on a button. I can set the visible property to the picture, but it is always the same picture that shows up, and I would like it to be randomly generated instead, (from a series of card pictures that I have in a folder.)
View 1 Repliestrying to finish up some odds and ends of a game I am making.I have 9 picture boxes, and after the user picks one, i want the computer to randomly pick another, then the user and so on until all 9 boxes are full.This is what I have so far. It will let the user click a box with one character, then the user has to click another box and it fills it with the other character, but instead of the user having to click the second time, i want it to be automatically filled, unless it is already filled.

i am making a game in visual basic and when the picture box that you have to shoot resets, sometimes it resets off the form i use this code to make the picture box move randomly.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a number of images that I want to select a random number of and populate that number of picture boxes either dynamically or that already exist but can't think of the logic that would do it.
I considered dynamically creating them but don't know of a way to name them uniquely. I tried using pcbx& a variable but it didn't like that. Placing the image inside picture boxes that already exist, I couldn't think of a way to differentiate between them without what seemed excessive repetitive coding.
I have a picture box and I tell it to appear on a random location on another specified larger picture box.
here's my code:
Code:
Sub P2_AppleMove()
Dim P2ax As Integer = CInt(Int((P2Foodarea.Width * Rnd()))) ' sets the random area of the food
[Code]....
P2foodarea is a large picture box I created. I only want the apple to spawn on P2Foodarea, atm, it spawns on P1Foodarea which is very weird. P1foodarea is a whole other picture box. I even made new variables as you can see P2ax and P2ay, but it still doesn't spawn on P2Foodarea. I have even tried recreating a new picture box for P2foodarea
Still working on a very simplistic poker game and I'm struggling with getting the code to show my cards in picture boxes. I currently have 12 picture boxes set up on my form and when clicking the "deal" button I created on the form, I would like a random number to be generated from 1-53 and based on the number returned I would like a picture of a playing card entered into the picturebox. I would like this to happen in 10 picture boxes. So playing cards will be shown in the picture box on 10 of them and a the card back on the picture box 11 and 12. After hitting a second button, I would like the 11th and 12th boxes to display a card from the deck.
With all that being said my questions are:
1. How do I associate the random numbers with my playing cards? (I have my card pictures in a file on my computer.)
2. How do I get the picture of the cards into the picture boxes? What would the code look like?
3. I have a button to clear all the cards, but how to I program it.
I have a few problems i need to solve. Firstly, I am looking for a piece of code i can use to display a picture from a bank of pictures. It will work on the basis of generating a random number and loading a picture that corresponds to that number.
i.e. Dim RandNumber As Integer
Dim RandClass As New Random
RandNumber = RandClass.next(1, 10)
If RandNumber = 1 Then
Picturebox1.image = picture1
[Code]...
Secondly, can I then use subsequent picture boxes to display pictures from the same bank of images, without displaying the same image? Finally, I then need to be able to click the picture or a button beneath the picture to select it as an answer to a question and then the whole process starts again.
my form is connection to an access db ....called Quiz.db , it has 10,000 questions and answers , i want to click button and generate random question with correct answer , so ID# of record must be random on load and click next?
View 3 Repliesi'm trying to display a random messagebox that displays a message associated with a character. the character image displays and the user clicks a button to guess the character if it is correct, one of three messages should randomly appear that is associated with that character (there are 4 characters, so there are 12 possible messages total. 3 for each character) but as it stands now, the picture box on the form displays the character name so the user doesn't have to guess which button to push. i need to remove the name from beneath the picture so only the buttons have the name and the user is forced to guess and i don't have the messages randomly popping up. only a messabebox that says correct i added a message box in the code but i can't figure out how to randomly get the messages associated with the characters to appear?
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Dim currImageIndex As Integer = 0
Dim characterNames As String() = New String() {"Donny", "Jesus", "Lebowski", "Walter"}

View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a routine to work in vb.net which will cycle thru a datatable which contains the path to various images and display each one for a specified time. I am starting the routine with a timer control and the images are then displayed indefinetly.The problem is they don't display and then when the routine ends it shows the last picture in the pictue box. When I trace it, it is correctly getting the path of each image but the line "Me.picbox.Image = Image.FromFile(path)" doesn't load the picture to the display. IF I let the routine cycle once so that it ends, the picture box contains the last image.Is there something I have to do to force the refresh of the display? [code]
