Play Sounds From User Specified Buttons + Save Settings?
Nov 20, 2008
For an application I am building, I need to have the user specify button labels and be able to click on them to play a sound they specify. I would like them to be able to specify the number of buttons, the label for the buttons, and the sound file to be played. I would then like the user to be able to save those settings. How do I go about doing this? Also, how do I get the file they've opened's name to show up in the title bar of the app?

I'm trying to save my radio button settings in My.Settings...
At the moment I save the setting in the CheckChanged event for each radio button like this:
Private Sub Option1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Option1.CheckedChanged
If Option1.Checked Then
[Code]....
But if I close the program completely and reopen it, the settings will have changed back to the default settings

Is it possible to play two or more sounds at the same time (i.e., one plays in the background and one plays a sound effect) and if so, how can I do this? I am having problems because it is cancelling one of the sounds out when the other starts.

I want to play system sounds with .NET code in my app - no problem if I want to use Beep, Asterisk etc as I can just use: My.Computer.Audio.Play SystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk)But what if I want to play something like 'Menu Pop-up'? This sound is off by default in the Windows Default Sound Scheme, but if the user has set this sound up to do something then I want to play it.The user could have assigned any wav file to this action so I want to find which (if any) sound they have assigned and play it. Compatibility with Windows versions back to XP is also essential.

I am developing a chat application in asp.net using vb.net. In this, if a user receives a new message from other users then I want to play a sound to let him know that he received a message. I wanted to play some .wav files.

me and a partner need to play sounds when certain events occur, however, every method we try..
My.Computer.Audo.Play("file.wav")
or?
Sound.PlayWaveFile("file.wav") from this class: http:[url]....etc they all don't work
They do NOT throw any exceptions, they just dont play the music, the test demo of the Sound Class works like a charm, its just not working in our project..same with My.Computer. Audio. Play.what could we have done to make it so that we can't play sounds from our application?
PS: this problem occurs on all of the computers we test it on, yet the normal sound-playing methods seem to work on all of those computers when they are implemented in other projects.. its just not working in these instances

I know how to access and play the system sounds using vb.net, and I also know that using the registry to save users' settings isn't ideal, however, The details of my project are rather long and drawn out, so I'll skip most of them Basically my program is loaded onto several computers on our network. The entire purpose of this program is to sound various alarms on different dates and times. Apparently I am to set up the program so that the different alarm sounds can be configured through Windows' control panel.
I can add the program into the appropriate part of the Registry in order to make that happen. The problem is reading the the information back. Under the name of the app, I have four different subkeys, each with the name of one of the alarms. Under those keys are two other subkeys, .default and .current. How do I get the sound from .current to play? For some weird reason I get null returned any time I try to read the key that I created.

I want to play multiple sounds simultaneously from My.Resources in Visual Basic 2010. I have tried:My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.SoundName, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have also tried using multiple Windows Media Player controls, but that also didn't work.The first sound is cut off when the next sound plays.When searching around the internet I found people suggesting using 'DirectSound', but there are only tutorials for DirectSound in VB 6.0.

I am looking for a way to play the usual MIDI sounds in a VB program. Similar to the beep program (ie console.beep, leading to timer1.start etc.)but instead of an annoying bleep, have a MIDI sound (like a flute, violin, clarinet, etc.). Is this possible in VB 2008?

I am using the following code to play sounds in my VB.NET application: [Code] now this works fine for any sound file. However there is a second sound file (sound2.wav) which I want to play sometimes too. I want sound2 to have priority over sound1, however if I play sound2 using this method and then sound1 also plays a second later, sound2 will be canceled for sound1 to play.
So I'd like to know if there's a way to either play both sounds at once, or to check if sound2 is playing before I play sound1, and then only play sound1 if sound2 is not currently playing.

i have a button in my application that starts a function to play sounds.But when the function starts a have a problem that my application stops working until all the sounds are played. Then a want to display a waiting screen to show the status of the current application. To this i thought to create a new thread to open the waiting window and then show the messages.
But i have a problem that when my thread finishes, it closes the waiting screen. I tryied to put a loop inside my thread, but this crashes my aplication until the loop condition is satisfied.

I'm trying to save a collection of key/value settings in my application's "user settings" (they're column widths), but while I see no errors, when I run the code (in the IDE) my collection in "My.Settings" is always nothing at startup. I do a "My.Settings.Save" when the application exits, and barring the "serializers not found" errors in the IDE, no other errors occur. When I run my application as an exe, it behaves the same way..

I'm trying to create an app to launch at start up that will ask you what applications you want launching, or if you want all your favorite app's to start up etc. But before I go any further, I think its crucial to know how to save settings that a user has entered (such as program location and name in this case) so that he/she doesn't have to enter them every time at start up.
So far I have just made this, can anyone tell me how I would get it to save the settings entered?
Code:
Option Explicit On
Module Module1
Dim name As String

How do you save settings for a DataGridView? I'm making a game, and I want the user to be able to save their settings in a datagridview, and have it opened when he/she looks at the records form again.
I know this is what you do with a textbox, lets say:
My.Settings.Username = TextBox1.Text
My.Settings.Save()
But how would do that with a DataGrid View?

I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.
