Joystick Movement Display
Jun 18, 2012
When I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.

Does anyone have an example of use of a joystick in VB .NET or know where to find one?
DirectInput or not...it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to use a USB joystick within my program. I don't care how I do it.

I am writing a program in VB express 2008 which I want to be able to receive input from an xbox controller as well as activate the rumble on the controller. I am using the XBCD drivers for the controller [URL].Basically I want to say "the further forward the thumbstick is pushed the more the controller should vibrate".

I'm working on a project where I have to send data to the serial port through a radio modem onto a servo controller. Everything works fine but since I use a timer to detect joystick changes (directX). Even if I don't touch the joystick, because of the timer it still sends data thru which is killing my battery on the receiver side.

I have a VB 6 SP6 application that uses DirectX 7 to interface to a USB joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).The application works under Windows XP Pro (32-bit).I've got Visual Studio and the application running under Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32-bit).
I've calibrated the joystick under Windows 7.The VB 6 application does not find any DirectX 7 joystick device to connect to.Otherwise, the VB 6 application works (GUI, embedded video, serial channel, Ethernet connections).The VB 6 application must be accessing the dx7vb.dll or it would crash.The joystick disc did not provide a driver.I installed the latest joystick Profiler vendor software from the Web.This is my first attempt to use Windows 7 as a platform.I'm not sure what to try from a Windows 7 perspective.

I have made a small program that reads the input of a joystick/GamePad and passes it on to a serial port. It works great I can see all the buttons pressed ect ( in a textbox). But When I minimize the form and press some buttons they are no longer passed on to the serial port and not shown into the textbox?

Is it possible to Intercept a Game's forcefeedback message wich was sent to a joystick? WM_???
I only need to intercept that message, nothing more.
i've read about hooking (wich is illegal??), but its very difficult, and i do not know the c++ language, but i know vb very well.

What I am trying to do now is design a program that will play 4 different sound files depending on the position of a joystick. I am not looking for any kind of gradient to be involved. Any kind of forward position should play the file associated with "forward". Any kind of left position should play the file associated with "left". And the same for "back" and "right".

I use DirectInput to control a joystick. Now I use a timer to continuously runs a sub
Private Sub timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
UpdateUI()
End Sub
Public Sub UpdateUI()
' This function updated the UI with
' Joystick state information.
[Code] .....
The problem is this is not very efficient. Now I would like to know if its possible to trigger a sub as soon a button D-sub of analog stick is pressed/moved. I've seen the following:

I try to find the example for reading data from USB Joystick using VB2010 but I couldn't. .
I found some but all were VB6.0.
Do I need to install DirectX or which component should I use. I can read data from mouse and keyboard.

Using VB on a graphics screen I want to have the cursor move on a grid as opposed to every pixel. I believe I must hide the cursor and then draw it myself over the background, but I do not understand how to do this.

Im working with my project. I have a device called PIR (Passive Infrared Resistor), capable of detecting any kinds of movement. When the device reached the maximum limit of movementthe red light will turn on. The output of my device is -5v. I want my program to respond when my device detects movement

how to get VB to detect mouse movement, clicks and keyboard presses. I am creating a screensaver program that does not intergrate with the windows screensaver.
The reason I am doing this is because I am trying to invent a screensaver that people can use their custome pictures to see with password protection for their PC when the screensaver facility has been disabled on a domain.

I have a picturebox (X=1200,Y=800) and there is an area in the picturebox starting at (X=32,Y=32 and is 256x256 in size). I want to keep the mouse pointer in that area for awhile.
Is there a command in vb that lets you do this? If not, can you restrict the mouse to one control?

With 11 shapes moving around it really looks good, but doubling the load causes the flicker to be noticeable.I have double-buffered the control that does the drawin

I've made a program where a picture of a bee buzzes around the form in random movements (using random number generator code) and have put it in a while loop so that whilst the bee is visible on the form (hasn't flown off the sides) it moves randomly:
While (picBee.Top > 0 And picBee.Top < 725) And (picBee.Left > 0 And Timer1.Enabled = True)
Application.DoEvents()
For i = 1 To 3000000
Next
picBee.Top = picBee.Top - 2 + 4 * Rnd()
picBee.Left = picBee.Left - 2 + 4 * Rnd()
End While
So far the bee does stop moving when it meets one of the four edges of the form but I need to code it so when the be reaches the edges and stops a message box appears declaring the game over.

Ok, so I'm making a simple breakout game, using picture boxes as I didn't want to bother installing picture boxes.Every movement works perfectly fine; the pad moves correctly, the ball bounces right. Except when I move the pad while the ball is moving.If I move the pad while the ball is moving, the ball moves at the same speed as the pad, which is 10 times the speed of the ball.Well here's the movement code.
Code:
Public Sub Movement(ByVal Movement As String) ' Handles movement
If Not IsPlaying Then Exit Sub

if its possible to have mouse events like mouse movements, mouse clicks and so on in a specific window only. I'm not sure if you understand this so ill give you an example.
Okay lets say i want this program to only click within a window like Firefox or windows media player only. So that means if i minimize the window it will still click inside that window while its minimized, and i could continue doing other things while its clicking inside that window.
