Read A Saved Wordlist File And Using A Timer Insert Words From The Word List At Random Timed Intervals?
Mar 6, 2010
I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.

I have a piece of hardware that is controlled via USB.There are 8 LEDs on the output byte. One LED per bit.I like to toggle the outputs based on selection of checkboxes and given frequency entered in TextBox.I inserted 8 checkboxes to allow me to select the desired LEDs to be on.I select the checkboxes to select the required LEDs.The checkbox gives me the byte value. XORing the byte value with 255I can see them toggling very fast. I have a while loop to blink forever until I click on stop button.The stop makes the seq=false and this should stop the blinking but it keeps going.How can I insert desired delay of flashing frequency in my output routine?How can I stop on demand to change pattern without exiting the program.

Is there a simple way to insert a specific word between 2 or more words that of course have spaces?I'm doing if and next and if and next.I have 200 columns of programming for something that it may be simpler to make.So, p.e with the word "and", "Hello world" will be "Hello and world" or p.e. "Hello nice world" would be "Hello and nice and world".Words can also be like "Hello nice world"(doesn't show here,the spaces are "hello nice world" .I don't mind the spaces between to be only one but the words must be separated with the key word and space before and after.

I would like the autocomplete list of a textbox to be the words that the user has previously typed and saved. For example if they enter "dog", "cat" and "fish" I want the autocomplete suggests to show these three options. So far my Code only shows the last user input. I expect there is an easy solution as I am new to all this, but I can't seem to find it on my own.

I am trying to get a random word in VB and was wondering if it was possible to do this through the internet some how? For example If there was a website that literally just contains random words (anything over 100 will do) and I could just select a random word from it? I can create random letters and numbers but I want a word that would be in a dictionary.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Btn5vowel.Click
Dim rand As New Random
Dim alphabet As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 200
alphabet = ChrW(rand.Next("A"),to ("z")
It is giving me that the expression must be expected. I have to choose and display the fifth vowel from the list of 200 random words.

I recently had some problems with the performance of the Word object model. In an add-in that I wrote for Word I need to parse through all the words of a document and replace some of them or ask the user for the ones that have multiple replacements. I know that it is faster to ask Word for all of the document text content at once and then process it and put it back all at once again, but this is not suitable for my add-in because I need to have access to the range objects that represent the words that have multiple replacements so that I can somehow mark them in the document and present the user with a tool tip from which he can select the replacement he wants.
So for the moment the single great speed improvement that came in my head was multithreading since most people already have dual core or better. The problem is that all the things you find on Google say that multithreading in Office is a very bad thing to do.
So is there any one who managed to do this in a manner that worked in most of its usage? By this I mean if it also worked on other PCs then the development one?

I am making a program which generates Tambola Tickets. The program reads a list of movie names from a file and it randomly selects x no. of names per ticket and writes those names to a file.
For e.g. imagine there are 24 movie names. The program has to print 10 tickets and each ticket will habe 12 names.
I have written a program which does that but I think my random no. generator is repeating a few movie names pretty frequently.
plus I have to ensure that no one ticket can have a name repeated.
Dim NoTickets as Short = 10, Total as byte = 24 ' total = total movies in array
' Duplicate is function that ensures that no number is repeated
' MovieList is normal array with movie names

I have created a windows service and I have two different timer variables in there. 1st one fires off every 5 seconds and then does whats it is required to do. The second one fires every 30 seconds.
I make sure that when the function are getting executed I disable both the timers and enable once the function is complete.My problem is my second longer (30 second ) timer never fires only the first one is firing. I had created this service 3 months ago and it was working fine till now. But now I do not see the timers work properly in a simple windows app i created to test their workings.

I want to generate random numbers at regular time intervals. I am putting the random generation in a loop which works when a button is clicked. But since the Timer itself is a control, I don't know how to do it. I tried putting the timer in a module so I can access it inside the form.
But the following error occurs:
"Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".
When I doubleclick the timer icon the code appears as follows.
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

I've got 2 seperated programs.
One is a program where you can select a product and select how many of them you want. Then the total price wil be displayedin a label. And the list of selected products will be saved in a .txt file.
The second program is an Edit program. The user can edit his selected products. Here he can change the total of a product.So if he had selected 1, he can change it to three or something. When the user clicks the button Save. The changes will besaved in the same .txt file and the total price will also be changed and displayed in program one.
Program one is compleet.Program two has problems and here i need your help:- the user can't make a change in the numbers, seems that the textbox is read-only or something. How to solve?- Then when i click save, the changed must be saved in the .txt ( i can't test this yet because no changes can't be made)- the total new price must be showed in program 1 (i think i programmed this well, but can you take a look)
Here is a part of my code of program 1:

I need to have two pieces of software, made in vb where one encrypts the contents of a .txt file, and the other decrypts it, and then picks one word at random and displays it each time a button is pressed, but never displays the same word. Or, if there was a way to hard code it into the program as there is only 5 words that would be better.

I need to pull a random word from a text file in my resource folder (visual Studio 2010) and then have a user enter a letter to see if it is in the word. Yes, Hangman game. There is more, but right now I need to pull from that text file for a start. I know what I have is not even close to right under "Get Word Button", but I'm kind of confused about the process.
