I have a program that has a large weather map which is 1920 x 1080 resolution. The start location is (0,0). I want people who use smaller resolutions to be able to see the whole map. I would like to create a button that allows me to shift the form down or right say 10 pixels each time the button is clicked. How would I do this?
View 1 RepliesHow would I make my form unmovable so you cannot drag it to move it? I also need to know how to make it always start in the same exact spot. I don't know why but it changes spots even thought the location is set: 0,0
View 3 Replieswe have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?
View 2 RepliesSo i want to change the location of my form so that it pops up in the lower right corner of the screen.
Form1.Show()
Form1.Location = (New Point)
Inside a module I have the code:
Public frmClue2 As New frmClue
So I have a new instance of frmClue. Inside my main form I have the code:
frmClue2.Owner = frmClue
frmClue2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
frmClue2.Location = SecondaryScreen.Bounds.Location
frmClue2.Show()
The code works except for setting the location. The location is initially set to {X = -3 Y = -3} and it will not change. I have tried to set it to new Point(1440, 0) and that does not work. One interesting thing I found was if I declared the new instance of the form locally inside my main form rather than in the module, then the initial location is set to {X = -1 Y = -1} and I can change it no problem. However anytime the code leaves the main form, the instance disappears hence why I declare it as public in the module. I used the same code to create a new instance of the main form as well and there are no problems.

I'm really interested in programming things for games (NOT cheats, more or less things that make the gamer's life easier) and most of my ideas end up relating to an OCR, but I've got no idea where to start making one or how to make it at all, really.
I did a quick google search but all I could find were libraries to convert bitmaps and such to strings, which is not what I want. The game I'm making this for specifically is browser-based, so unless I were to take a screenshot there wouldn't be much to work with since there's a ton of text in addressbars and such.
The main focus of my OCR is to allow automatic PIN entering for banks in the game (PINs are used for security purposes, but lazy people don't like entering them). There's a keypad on-screen with 9 boxes, each with a number, but after every click the numbers change positions inside the buttons and they also switch positions with other buttons (note that the buttons stay in place and do not change color or anything).
