When i press W, i'm creating a dynamic picturebox of a bullet but i have no clue how to make it move to the target.I can create myself a picturebox and call it picBullet1, but what about bullet 2, 3,4 etc? what should i read/learn?
View 3 RepliesFrom the dynamic form I added. I realized that I can't get a gif animation to run in the form's background. So I thought I'd give it a try by embeding a picturebox on the dynamic form, but it's not working hence why I'm here.
So on my main form (Form1) I have 2 buttons, openfiledialog, and a picturebox. When you click button1 you browse for the an image to display in the picturebox, and when you press button2 as you can see from the code below. It'll open a new form, but what I want is to have the picturebox displayed over the whole form, but also play the gif animation I selected from my main form via Form1 onto the dynamically embeded one, but in the picturebox. Now I can't use it as BackgroundImage so I'm using it as just an Image, but my problem now is I'm unable to move each borderless form, and am unable to close each as well.[code]....
I would like to bind a DataGridView to a different LINQ query every time (in order to reuse the same form/DGV for different queries), like this:

when adding picture to dynamic picturebox from my.resources in .dll a duplicate semi functional picturebox is added too, behind the picturebox i intended to add. has anyone seen this happening before or can provide any insight into this?
View 1 RepliesOk, so I have a new challenge for the D.I.C. Heads. I'm making a simple little game using VB controls. I know it's not the best idea in the world but it'll have to do for now!
Here is whats happening. I've created a class that inherits the PictureBox control that I want to use to place my game pieces on the playing field.
Dim pbArmyUnit(0) As ArmyUnit ' ArmyUnit is a Class that inherits Picturebox now I create the playing pieces at runtime as needed and append them to the array. Player currently buys the units and places them on the playing field.
[Code]...
On a side note how can I look at a stack of pictureboxes all created at runtime to determine whats at a particular location? Example. I move my army unit over top of the picturebox that shows my forest. How can I tell what picturebox I just moved on top of? does that make sense? I don't need code for this just directions on looking at the right info so I can figure it out.
I am creating my terrain at runtime as well since it's randomly generated. and I'm basically making an array of 192 pictureboxes with the appropriate terrain image as well as some other modifiers. Just like with my armies above I've inherited picturebox and created a terrain class array, this way I'm able to add my movement modifiers etc, directly to the picturebox I place on the screen. It's these pieces of terrain that I want to be able to check before allowing the unit to move into them! to get movement costs etc.
[code...]
In particular the MetadataProviderFactory Line... I can't quite seem to figure out how it should look in VB.
I am adding items to a context menu strip from a list of items in a database when my form loads. This all works fine until I come across the issue of 'How do I react to the user clicking on one of these menu items?'
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to work out how to change the content of a picture box using a context menu. The idea is that the user would have a choice of three images which are saved in the resources file to change the main picture on the form. Is this possible?
These are the few options that I have tried from looking around on the net:
Private Sub ButtonImage1ToolStripMenuItem_Click
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles ButtonImage1ToolStripMenuItem.Click
PictureBox1 = (My.Resources.button1)
End Sub
[Code] .....
None of these have actually worked.

View 1 RepliesI have a SQL database which I'm running a query against to return a list of names - eg using "select names from table"I would like to add all of these names to an array so I can use them later. To do this I would need to use a dynamic array as the number of names returned could be anything.Apart from first running "select count(names) from table", getting a value and then Redim'ing the array on the count is there another method I can use.I've seen there's a dataset row.count? Can I somehow use this?

I'm making a new design for my website, but I want to keep the old one and possibly switch between the two.
Unfortunately, I've changed the content on the Master Page (luckily I have a backup).What I was thinking was to keep separate master files for each theme, and then just determine which one to server based on which stylesheet is loaded.
The only way I can think to do this is to keep a "settings" file on the website that has a "stylesheet=1/2/3/4/etc" line. Depending on the number there, the server will serve the correct master page.
Alternatively it might be easier to do something similar, but instead of serving a whole different master page, set a specific stylesheet to use.In both cases, I need a little help with actually doing the work on the server. I can read a text file (even encrypt/decrypt a file before and after it gets read for security), but actually giving the server the instructions based on what is read is where I'm lost.
I have an array filled with values from Excel cells. Each of the values is a concatenation of two things separated by a pipe, like "Machines|MachinesCode"
I need to, as I fill this array, strip out the pipe and everything in front of it so that the array being filled is only filled with the "MachinesCode" part of the cell value, but I haven't had much luck finding how I should do this. Each cell is dynamically filled and will never have a set length, so I can't set a trip by a particular number value of characters in the strings.
This subroutine is what I'm using. I am filling array FieldArray with another array (ExcelArray) currently holding the concatenated values.
Public Shared Sub PopulateFieldArray(ByRef FieldArray() As String, ByVal iFieldCount As Integer, ByVal ExcelArray(,) As Object)
Dim iIndex As Integer
For iIndex = 1 To iFieldCount
FieldArray(iIndex) = CStr(ExcelArray(2, iIndex))
Next
End Sub
But I don't know what to wrap around the CStr Excel array to cut off the pipe and all values before it while I fill FieldArray.
We have a GUI that displays a radio selection box (3 options) that are the three sites where our hospitals are. We need to dropdown located on the form to fill with only the locations based on the selected radio option.
Here is the code behind we have so far (sorry, VB)
[Code]....
For the record the Location dropdown is currently databound but its a static SELECT statement which brings us all the locations but we'd prefer it to be cleaner if it only returned the locations based on Site. We are using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition for development.

I have done this in Php with a function before. I just don't know how to do it in VB.I have a character sheet creator for a game I am making. What I am wanting to do is write a single function, where in you click on a button and it will pass the text box name (so that it knows which text box to edit), as well as the value inside of the text box (to make sure that the new character stat ceiling is taken into account).
Private Sub Button_Click
AddtoValue(Textbox1,stats)

Essentially, I need to know what to put for noidea, and noidea2, like, byval or byref or what?
I am attempting to set up a datagridview that is dynamic based on user input. The user input is a start and end date. The start date defines the first column the next column is the next date... until the end date (x-axis). The y-axis is technicians and the fields will show the assignment for the technician on that date.
All the advise I am seeing on datagridviews is to create a property methods to provide the information for each column. for example:
Dim 12-Oct-2009 as string
Dim 13-Oct-2009 as string
[Code]...
How do I create a object data source that allows me to populate the data grid? I want the column headers to be included as a string in row 0 of the multidimensional array. The amount of columns will be dynamic with a minimum of 1 and maximum viewing of 100 days based on what dates are selected in the start date and end date fields.The input dates will be used to generate a query to a database that will populate the multidimensional array.One solution I see is pick a start date and have a set number of dates and code for set number of columns (100) in a row and then set the names of the columns dynamically...ahhhh code repetition!
I am not sure how else to do this but looking for a more suttle way.I am using this to create a simple scheduling tool to see resource schedules by date. There is an unmoveable end date so initially I will need to look ahead 100 days but as the end date gets closer, I will have fewer and fewer dates. So eventually the end date will be that start date.
I am currently working on a game that I want to add squirrels running around at random for me to kick off the form.
Ex..
picturebox.location=200,200
And I set a new location for it, as 5,5, how can iIget the picturebox to move to that coordinate, a few pixels at a time until it gets there, so it looks like my squirrel is running to that location?
I am creating a vending machine that has moving items. My issue is making a certain picturebox move left/right to a specified point, then down to the " Item return" label. I'm using a timer to make the items move. I just cant figure out how to get this item to stop then go down then stop again.
After that I'll display a message telling the user the item is ready. How would i get the item I moved to go back to it's original place?

View 9 RepliesI have a form with a picturebox and I want to be able to drag the picturebox up and down with my mouse. I'm currently using a trackbar to move the picturebox up and down like this[code]...
View 9 RepliesI've created a form with a PictureBox on it and would like to dynamically create another PictureBox on the form while the program runs (to the left of the static one). I've written this code:
Dim temp As PictureBox
temp = New PictureBox
temp.Image = StaticPictureBox.Image
temp.Visible = True

When I run this code I can detect that the temp PictureBox does get created. However, it is not rendered onto the form. It seems like it's there but is invisible.
Private Sub TrackBar1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Trackbar.ValueChanged
txtYears.Text = Trackbar.Value
End Sub
This is the code for the trackbar. At the moment as the user moves the trackbar it inserts the value into the textbox. I want this to work in reverse also. user inputs value into text box, trackbar moves.
I know it is possible as my professors program does this.
My page has a drop down whose values are dynamically populated. Based on which item is selected, a number of TextBoxes are dynamically created during runtime.The user then fills in information into the textboxes and clicks a submit button.After postback from the submit button, I need to again dynamically create the TextBoxes during Page_Init (BEFORE LoadViewState) so that after the ViewState loads, my Button_Click event can save/do whatever with the user input. PROBLEM is, I cannot recreate the textboxes based on the selection in the dropdown, because the dropdown hasn't been "selected" yet by LoadViewState.SO, how can I read from the view state, create my textboxes, then let the viewstate populate the textboxes, and then the Button_Click will use the values??The one thing I've attempted is to override the LoadViewState function so that I can read from the view state, create the boxes, and then load the viewstate again. This did NOT work, because the debugger never seemed to hit my overridden function.[code]
