Randomly Select Which Graphic To Display On My Form?
Apr 26, 2010
Right so I have made a graphic of a coin being flipped. Heads is shown on one graphic, tails on the other. I wanna set it up so that when I hit go it will randomly play one of the two graphics on one of my forms.How easy is it to add a .gif file to a form that can play when told to? What is the code im looking for to help with me with what I'm trying to do?
Another thing I plan to achieve is also a random number generator that will display a number on a ball that rolls on to the screen. So the displaying of a number will be timed to show up when the ball comes in focus. I have some code that I have used previously to generate a number, but I wanna get the generated number to show in time with the ball rolling up.What are some wait commands to use in vb .net? This is the code I am using to randomly generate a number.
vb
Dim r As New Random
TextBox1.Text = r.Next(0, 150)
I have a class and I am trying to randomly select 3 items to display on a page (each item should be unique so that there is no repeating).I have some code that works(ish). The problem is that when I track the random numbers it takes about at least 50 attempts for the application to select a different random number than the one that was chosen the first time (defying the laws of probability).[code]
I am interested in making a program to randomly populate gym-exercises from a group of them that I will populate. For instance, I want to be able to check "triceps," and then have "triceps kickback" pop up from a larger group of exercises, and the next time I click it another triceps exercise will pop up.
I have started to create a player using VB.NET. Ive completed the import music functions and creating playlists and importing the playlists But now im wondering how would i go about creating a Graphics Equalizer to display the songs playing I dont mean a Equaliser with controls and such but more a visual display of the song playing much like the visualisations within Windows Media Player.
Also if i wanted to display a visualisation behind some controls , What would i use to achieve this ?? I think a picturebox if it accepts the type of file a Visualisation would be. My final goal is create a fully custom player which has a visualisation and shows track details in a custom environment.
I have a button called 'populate'. I need it to randomly select items in combobox1 when I click it. Here is what I have tried doing but it doesn't give me the desired results.
Dim sacostofsyscheckout As Integer Randomize() sacostofsyscheckout = CInt(CInt((1500000 * Rnd()) + 3000000))
The next step is I need to build a randomizer to randomly select a row and read the columns of that row into varibles.I have a working randomizer that can randomly pick a number between min and max values but what I don't know if how to select a row / How to find out how many rows are available and how to read the values into varibles.Am I right in declaring an Integer Varible then using:
AvailableRows = DDT.Rows.Count
Then use my Random Function to pick a number between 0 and AvailableRows
I have a form with one richtextbox and one button. The idea is that: Form Load: data read from text file into arrayButton Click: random number generated, then used to select the string whose index number matches the random number generated
My StreamReader is working correctly and I can create random numbers with no problem, but I'm stuck on how I can use this random number to extract the corresponding string. I keep get the error saying QuoteObject reference not set to an instance of an object.
My code is below: Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Dim questions(69) As String Dim i As Integer [Code] .....
Basically what i want to do is when a command button is clicked and it has run the code at then end i want a label to display one string out of many at random. How would i declare the various strings and then get it to display one at radnom
How long it would take to generate all of the numbers between 1 and X randomly. X=1,000,000 took 6 seconds, and for 10,000,000 took over a minute. Does that sound reasonable?
Experiment stopwatch start count = 0 do while count < x select a random number between 1 and X inclusive have i selected this number before? no-add 1 to count yes - loop stopwatch stop display elapsed time
I made the Do Loop UI un-friendly and ran this from the IDE using CTRL-F5. My PC is 1.8Ghz and has 2GB of memory. I am using VB 2008, .Net 3.5 SP1. Looking for work - Zip 65101 [URL]
I need to get a button to enter the applications subfolder and randomly select 1 file to be played in the windows media player COM which i have put in the form. I have tried creating a shuffling playlist but i cant get it to stop after one file is played (it just goes on shuffeling to another file, and i really do not want a playlist). I manage to create a batch file to be started to randomly pick a file in that folder, but when i do this the file is being played in the systems default player..
I'm trying to make a mini map for a 2d space shooter of mine; I've for the math down (I think) for when an item should appear on the mini map, but the problem is the graphic. As it stands, the graphic spills over the edge of the mini map graphic and disappears only when it's fully outside. I need it to crop the image, or at least not show it off the mini map graphic.I thought of using the sourcerect rectangle of the spritebatch.draw, but it seems to me that would only work for the right and bottom section, as I can adjust the size of the rectangle. I haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. Can the location of the source rectangle be changed in relation to the graphic that it is a part of being drawn so that I can use that to crop the left and top sides?
I have a VB .Net windows form application.On a button click I call a Function, say FunctionA ..and want to freeze all the controls on my main form and display a wait graphic, until FunctionA has finished executing.
My program is supposed to display a randomly generated sentence on the screen (something like a screensaver) Then 'wait' for a random period between 1 and 5 minutes before cycling through to generate another sentence. How do I do that?
I have drawn lines and boxes on a form programmatically. How do I programmatically delete one of them? Let's say I draw a line and then a box, (using button1). How do I delete the line and not the box? Or can I?
I am trying to create an application that will randomly select 14 "stations" (strings) from a list of 33. My thinking is that I have a for/next loop that randomly selects a number between 1,33 which is then inputted into an array (arrnumber) I then want those random numbers to then be used to call the Station name which is saved in the second array, and then for the selected stations to be populated into a listbox (potentially by storing those names selected in a new array?)
Various people have suggested either using a list (of t) instead of arrays, or a Dictionary(?) or perhaps even a database, though I am not all that confident with VB to be able to know where the best place to start with that is. So if anyone can offer any advice, pointers as to how I can link my 2 arrays (I am pretty sure I know how to make the array populate a listbox) I would be very much obliged.
Public Class Form1 Dim Stationid() As String = {"Cardiovascular Examination", "Respiratory Examination", "Abdominal Examination", "Abdominal Examination with Stoma", "Groin and External Genitalia Examination", "Cranial Nerves Examination", "Arm Examination", "Leg Examination", "Parkinson`s Examination", "Cerebellar Examination", "Speech Examination", "Hand Examination", "Elbow Examination", "Shoulder
So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer dim r as new random num = r.next(1,5) if num = 1 then elseif num = 2 then etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open. It brought me inside of the folder so I tried to open the game but there is no form1 there. It says the games name then .exe in the explorer-like thing in the top right?Also, how would I have a value or something in a label and access it from a button.
Example:This is in a label.
Dim number as Integer number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
How would I do something like that? I want to use that a lot as I did in a different language.
I have just about completed a .NET project to write a program to randomly select numbers for a Bingo caller. Over the last month or so Ive learned a lot about .NET but heres something that I consider to be odd and maybe one of you guys can offer an opinion.
One of the features of calling Bingo in a small local club is that callers often use little sayings to accompany certain numbers, I expect youve all heard of (say) All the sixes, clickety click for 66 or 5 and 9 the Brighton line for 59 etc. My little program gives an option to incorporate these with a prompt for the caller that can be edited outside of the program. One of these conventional sayings is used when a number is reversed 12 followed by 21 or 45 followed by 54 for example, when the caller might call (say) 1 and 2, one dozen, number 12 And the other way round 2 and 1, twenty one.
So, I programmed in a bit of code to detect this and to over-ride whatever might otherwise have been the quote with And the other way round and set about testing it. Ive been through literally dozens of full 90 calls watching for the occurrence of a reversed number, spent a few hours doing it, and not once has it occurred which is to say the least, unusual.
So, Im wondering about the Rand Function, could it be that it isnt possible for a reversed number to be selected? Just so you know, I randomly pre-select the order of all 90 numbers, I fill each of the 90 elements of an array with a random number first checking that the number selected hasnt already been stored, if it has, I just get the next random number (and check that too of course), but I cant see how that could prevent reversed numbers being selected, especially in light of the fact that frequently it's not the 'next' number that's used.
I designed a complicated graphic that draws on a Visual Basic screen. But how can I transfer the image to a bitmap or some other format that I can post on the Internet? I've tried the XAML editor in Microsoft Expression Web but people don't like downloading Silverlight, at least that's what they tell me.
Protected Overrides Sub LoadForm() MyBase.LoadForm() Try 'StartProcess might be causing an error (error msg is issue with loading config, which would be incorrect) StartProcess() [Code] .....
I can run this 100 times under the exact same conditions and it seems like 40 times it will crash with the following error: "Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'frmImportExport'."
It will either die on 'within StartProcess() Dim __Delegate As New _Delegate(AddressOf StartProcess) Me.Invoke(__Delegate) or Dim D As New _Delegate(AddressOf SOPERATION)
The form isn't being disposed manually anywhere that I see, and this code is being executed on formload. It's a subform that is to be displayed within a main form.
I'm making a program where the user can choose a question section and the program is supposed to randomly open one of a few forms that contain questions. However, I can't get the code right.
I am currently working on a project on Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, in which I need to move an image across the form from one end to the other without moving it in a straight line. I want to try and randomize the image while it moves in a general direction, but I am not sure how. I also am trying to get four images to do this, from top to bottom, bottom up, left to right, and right to left.
I need to draw several line-graphics on a form, then select and drag individual graphics to new locations. Is it possible for example to give each graphic path an identity when drawn, then select any one (via mousedown, whatever) and link it to the dragged mouse co-ordinates until released? MS Visio has exactly this ability - can it be done in .NET?
Basically, I'm not sure if I'm thinking along the correct lines when trying to break this down. The program is supposed to display the question "How much is _ x _?" with _ being a randomly generated number between 0-9 which I have in a label. The student inputs the answer and clicks the "Answer" button. If he gets it right, the label below outputs "Very Good!" and automatically puts a new question in the above label. If the student gets it incorrect, the output is "No, Please try again." and the student keeps trying until the question is answered correctly.
My method of thinking on this is that the random.object generator is input first so the question with the numbers are output in the first label. Then, under the Sub answer.button, enter the statements that will either check and refer to the above statements to get a new question or have the student try again until it's answered correctly. One of the other criteria for this is that I have to use a function for the calculation. Would the function statement, because it has to return a value, go before the answer.button code or after?
