Maze Game - Send Cursor Back To Start When Button Releases
Jun 15, 2011
I am making a maze game like the one shown in the how to, I recently discovered that if you hold the right mouse button a you can go through the wall. Is there a way to make the mouse lock and not move when the user trys to hold the button down
or
When the user releases the button it resets. Like in the web browser with
If e.KeyCode =
Keys.Enter
Then
e.SuppressKeyPress =
True
WebBrowser1.Navigate(ToolStripTextBox1.Text)
But with the mouse button when it releases send the cursor back to start.

I've got a function api_request which takes API method as an argument, and returns XMLTextReader.
Shared Function api_request(method As String) As XmlTextReader
request_text = method & ".xml"
url = "[URL]" & request_text & "&access_token=" & token
Return New XmlTextReader(url)
End Function
I call this function from different places to make request to site API and depending on the method results are parsed very differently. So in each method I have something like this:
Dim s As Xml.XmlReader = api_request("users.get")
While s.Read
If s.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then
If s.Name = "user" Then
[Code] .....
As you may see, I have the code ElseIf s.Name = "error" Then error_handler(s, "user.get"). This is because when error happens, server always returns something like this:
<error>
<error_code>4</error_code>
<error_msg>Incorrect signature</error_msg>
</error>
This is parsed in error_handler Sub, and depending on the error following actions are chosen. This code works, but I have to check if I encounter error like that ElseIf s.Name = "error" every time, though all the methods call the api_request function. Is it possible to check for error in api_request function before returning the Reader? The problem is if I start reading xml there, and there isn't an error, I can't anyhow position the Reader to the start.

I have a game that I am trying to make for school, but I am having problems getting just one button to start the game and using the same button to end the game...there is a seperate button to quit the application, but all i can get it to do is to change the text on one click, then it will not do anything else when you click it again. I have searched all over the internet and it seems that no one knows how to use only one button to do this, there are tons of things posted about using two buttons to do this. I am really starting to figure out that VB.net is a POS, I would rather use Java or Ruby or something else.. Can anyone give me some help? I am not asking anyone to do my homework for me, just to help me figure this out, so that I know how to do it myself. Also, is there a way to play music in the background while the application is running, like an mp3, and then when you end the game or quit, the music shuts off?

i've created a hangman game (Fully working) but since you can only "play" with one phrase (10 letters) it gets boring fast. Basic the current game works by on form load i define the slots (10 string which each hold a letter) and give them there letter. then the user type in a text box and if the textbox = any of the slots then the lbl repasenting that slots changes its text from "_" to the letter.
Anyway what I would like the button to do is when the user presses the start button a random number is generated. The program then looks into a textfile and based on which number is generated it takes a certain line (10 characters per line in a phrase) , moves them into the slots and the game starts. Is that possible to code or it too complicated. The textfile will be in the applications folder (words.txt).

I have this problem every so often in VS2010. What will happen is I'll be working along and run the program then stop debugging. When I get back to text editor to change something the cursor will be stuck. It won't let me move it with the arrow keys and I can't type anything in. I can move it with the mouse but when I do that I still can't type anything in at the new position. The only way to get this to go away is to close out VS2010 and restart it again.

I need the cursor to appear in my text box when the program is started so you don't have to click on the box to start the input. I have been trying tons of different things, including the .focus() command and "selstart" and no matter where I put them, they don't put the cursor there when the program is started. So I guess my question is what code do I use and where do I put it so that the cursor starts in the textbox for input.

Using VB 2010 Express
My program writes text to a multiline textbox. After the input is finished, the cursor is at the end of the text. I want the program to position the cursor at the start of the text so that I can see it.
MSDN suggests:-
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
I believe the cursor is now repositioned, but I cannot see the start of the text. How do I scroll back automatically, refresh or whatever so that I can see the start of the text?

Is it possible to open another app without losing focus of the current foreground app? I have a program that will open another app and test something on it then close it, and reopen it again and repeat. Can this be all done in the back while i am typing away on another app in the foreground without getting interrupted by the new app opening and changing focus?
i dont want the new app open minimized or anything, just quietly open in the background.
I tried using process startinfo.windowstyle and that doesnt help much.

I have created a maskedtextbox to do a simmple validation >L99999. My problem is when the user clicks on the empty box the cursor stays where they clicked it, not at the beginning of the box as it would with a normal textbox. I have found some suggestions but these all seem to affect the way the cursor moves within the box rather than just changing the start position. As far as the end user is concerned the box should behave just as any other textbox but with validation.

We've set code to fire certain valves on the timer but once it gets to the last valve (checkbox) I'm not sure how to reset the timer to start back at zero so that it refires the sequence.
Here's the code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Timer1.Tick

I have a program that requires a string. The string is 20 characters long. The string also have to be split into 2 words the first word is 12 characters and the second is 8. If the strings is not 20 characters long I get an error. I wanted to know how can I get the program to start back over and let me enter another 2 more words if the string is not 20 characters long. At the moment after I get the string is not 20 characters long error it continues to read the rest of the program but I want it to stop after an error and let me start over from the beginning.

I have an existing WSDL which returns information to remote devices using SOAP. However, I'm writing a new app with Android which doesn't support SOAP so I can't use the existing WSDL and have had to code a new app which looks for a querystring from the Android app and returns the data in a JSON packet. I've coded the module which receives the data okay but I'm unsure how to send the data back in JSON forma

I know there is an option when you right click a control you can bring it infront of another control and stuff, but....
When ever I draw a line in my vb.net script using
myGraphics.DrawLine(pen:=myPen, x1:=1, y1:=1, x2:=e.X, y2:=e.Y)
I want to know how I can make this line appear over a Panel, Label, and other stuff... like Bring to Front in a way.

How can you simulate keypresses and releases? I know you can essentially hit a key with Sendkeys.SendWait, but how can your code press and hold q, for example? I essentially wish to be able to call something like press("q") and release("q"). The effect would be the same as physically holding them down.
