We are trying to let a hedgehog walk from behind a bush, towards the other side of the screen. The code we are using is:
dim hedgehog as integer
imgHedgehog.left = 11520 - hedgehog
hedgehog = hedgehog +50
It does move on the screen to the left, but the problem is that the picture keeps flashing while it's moving, so it's like its extremely bad quality.
I've got an app that I want to have an MDI with. It functions fine, but there needs to be a control panel off to the side of it to drive the child documents' creation. I have two problems with this.
First, if I add the control panel to the side of the form, it just overlays the MDI portion of the form and the children will spawn behind it. I can more or less manage the positions of these children, but the problem comes when I want to minimize the children, they minimize behind the control panel and I don't know how to move them. So I need to shrink the area they can move around in. I've read in places that you can use the splitter object, but that never seems to cooperate with me and only wants to move to the extreme left or right of the parent form. How can I reduce the area the children get to interact with? I've tried creating a MDI Panel, but VS has a fit with that.
Second, I've got a datagridview holding the data that will spawn the child forms. This is working well, but even though I've set the rows to be not resizeable, I can still make them grow or shrink during run-time (not programmatically). How do I stop this?

View 4 RepliesI'm making a shell for a computer system this shell is going to be distributed with lots of different computers.The shell is designed to replace the standard windows look (not important but anyway), and as such, i need a way of allowing the user to change the screen resolution to what their monitors/display adapters can support. I'm looking for a way to call all the supported screen resolutions into a combo box.Preferably with the x and y values as separate variables, but that's not a major thing.

View 3 RepliesI have a ScreenCapture class that allows me to capture the content of the screen by specifying a X Y value of the top left and X Y value of the bottom right corner of a rectangle. This all works fine, however the problem that I have is that I want to capture the content of a panel on a form, the panel obviously has a location X and Y which gives me the top left position and I can use the width and height propoerty of the panel to determine the bottom right position. The problem that I have is this obviously gives me location of the panel on the form and not the screen. The other problem that I have is that this form is a MidiChild for another form.
So basically what I want to know is how can I get the location of the panel but as a screen position?
how I would be able to print the entire portion of the screen which the form occupies,Basically, my problem lies in that the way I print now will properly print the form's buttons/labels/textboxes etc. But it will not print the WebComponent AxChartspace that I have added to it. So basically my form is partially blank.

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

View 13 RepliesUsing graphics paths for designing...but am getting an error when trying to add a shape to : _shapelist.add(createshape())
It says : Value of type 'system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath'
I was wondering if I could elicit some tips on how to procede with an interface design approach.That is. What is a good way to go about establishing a "work area" where one can have multiple "floating forms" in this area.Can you have a form which occupies the entire windows desk top and the other forms "float" in this space? the "floating" forms would need to interact with each other where pressing buttons etc on them would affect other forms on the "workspace") Or what would be a good way to start accomplishing that? Or is there a better way to get the same effect?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
Is this where i would post a picture of my interface and get feedback on changes for easier use? If not is there someplace on this forum or any other forum to do this?
View 1 RepliesSo I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.

View 9 RepliesLong time since I was active on this forum, but I recently picked up VB.NET again. I'm working with VS 2010 Express now, and I want to create a little app that resides on the side of my screen (about 40px wide), to collect data.
I've seen this program, Trillian, 'docking' to the right side of my screen, thereby making the maximized size of all windows just as much as the space left of the application window. In other words, even if I maximize other programs, the Trillian application stays visible at all times, on the right side of my screen.
Now I was wondering, is there any similar effect possible with VB.NET?
