Interface And Graphics - Randomly Generating Circles
Mar 1, 2009
I am trying to randomly generate circles at the top of the screen, but it doesn't seem to be working. I want it to generate five balls, but it only generates one, and it's in the same place each time. [Code]

I'm working with a random number that generates a price for a house between 1 and 100 dollars (obviously very realistic).
Dim Housecost As Integer = (Int((100 * Rnd()) + 1))
My problem is that I put that number in the public class which does generate the number but only once. But I need the number to be re-generated every time a button is clicked. Now I would put this code snippet in the buttons Sub but there are 3 other subs in the code that call for that randomly generated number and the only way that I know of that allows all the subs to read this random number is to put it in the public class. So how do I put the number in a place where all Subs can read it and can be called to re-generate when needed?

How long it would take to generate all of the numbers between 1 and X randomly.
X=1,000,000 took 6 seconds, and for 10,000,000 took over a minute.
Does that sound reasonable?
Experiment
stopwatch start
count = 0
do while count < x
select a random number between 1 and X inclusive
have i selected this number before?
no-add 1 to count
yes -
loop
stopwatch stop
display elapsed time
I made the Do Loop UI un-friendly and ran this from the IDE using CTRL-F5. My PC is 1.8Ghz and has 2GB of memory. I am using VB 2008, .Net 3.5 SP1.

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.

I'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

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?

I'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.

So 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.

I load my picturebox with a jpeg. If I put my DrawObjects() sub into picturebox paint event.When ever a picturebox.refresh or picturebox.visible = true (vb.net seems to draw my DrawObjects() first, then load the jpeg Image over my drawing - erasing drawing) Is there a way to get the picturebox to redraw the jpg image first then draw on it, in picturebox paint event?

I'm considering working on a video encoding framework. Essentially a program to re-encode a video file from one format to another, using codecs which are widely distributed. (Codecs commonly found on the average PC.)Emphasis would be on reformatting - rescaling, cropping - in a visual environment. Is vb.NET a good environment for such an application or would it be wiser to look elsewhere?

I'd like to be able to graphically represent a position in a 3D graph and be able to rotate the grid to match a certain perspective. I've looked for tutorials online, but they all mention how to import or create common file types. I don't want or need to do this. I just need to know where to begin. I have the DirectX SDK, but I'm not sure where to start with it and need some direction.

I've been having some trouble with a draw subroutine in a project I'm working on. The last time I did anything like this in VB, drawing on a form was as simple as calling the Line() function, so I'm not clear on a lot of these things. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub drawBox(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles btnDraw.Click
Dim blueBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Blue)
Dim i, j As Integer
[code]....
The code is just meant to draw a grid of small squares across the form, using the centers() array, which is set up elsewhere. My problem is that I can't figure out how to call this sub. If I use Handles Button.Click or Mouse.Move or something like that, VB returns an error saying that Draw and Mouse functions are incompatible. I can't call it normally, because I don't have values for sender and e.

During form design and after placing a scrollbar on the form, I ran the debugger and found that the center of the scrollbar was transparent. After playing with this a bit, I managed to stop the transparency by changing the key to bright pink as I have nothing with that color. Can the transparency key be disabled?

I have inserted a form into my project that a friend sent over. The form works but if I add more controls to it they are not displaying.
The controls are all there in the <form>.designer.vb file but are simply not displaying when I run the form.
I have looked around the net but can find no reference to a similiar problem.
