I just got back into VB since being, at best, a hobby programmer with VB6. Wow, so much has changed since then, so I feel like I am starting all over again.
After much hunting and searching, I found that great code sample that shows the input from the game pad/joystick. (Finding visual basic 2008 and gamepad input information isn't easy!)
Now I want specific buttons to play a random file from a specific folder.
The application runs on a Netbook, which is a bit light on resources. I would prefer to play WAVs and MP3s with something that's less resource intense than windows media player. (Perhaps its very easy to do so from the code level. I've noticed WMP is so loaded with visualizations and so forth, its hard to turn all that crap off)
How can i capture my input that is electric guitar using directsound through microphone port and can i detect the frequency of that captured sound?

I know Microsoft released a managed version of direct x long ago but It seems Out Dated now. I've heard about XNA but on their website it says it is used for windows phone and the Xbox
Which is currently the best and fastest equivalent to Direct x for Vb.net ?

View 2 RepliesWell I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition & I have already coded support for buttons & sticks for the most part basically(I can't detect the two different triggers as two different values so I can't know when one is partially down when ones pushing in the other stick or letting that one go) I can't detect the guide button....also I can't make the controller vibrate...
Is there a way to solve this? I don't want to download C# express edition or visual studio trial & xna just to try & get code for C# which may include code I don't know what I need to copy(+translate to vb) or classes/functions not available in the Visual Basic language.
Can anyone help me so I can make this from VB? I want them to be able to use the buttons to move around the user interface(not a game), the guide button to be used to bring up a menu to turn off the controller & such like that & vibration feedback so they are sure when they pushed a button & an action was carried out for example....
---My last post was moved off-topic telling me to post in the xna forum but I don't want to build this using xna game studio or C# language that you must have installed to use xna game studio....I need this code for VB.NET if it's even possible to do at all, reccomendations to use XNA/C++/C#,F#, etc...these will be ignored as I don't want to have to download & install XNA or the express editions for all the different coding languages just because one thing in my own isn't turning out easy for me to work with.
If i had the money for visual studio this would be no big deal but im a single developer basically(all the coding for the program) & don't have enough money for the tool that could allow me to easily make a project using any language I want without having to download & install all the express editions seperately & start them up seperately when I want to work with certain projects.
I want to use a gamepad as a mouse/keyboard in a online pc game. Im using a program called Xpadder to allow me to work the mouse/keyboard, but it wont work in game because it simulates the mouse. The game blocks the dll file that allows you to manipulate the mouse/keyboard, so that they can prevent bots.
So what if somehow i registered the gamepad as a mouse? So that its not simulating a mouse, it is a mouse.
If i could fool the pc into thinking it is a mouse then when they game receives inputs from it, the game would accept them because it also thinks its a mouse.
How would i do something like this?
I suppose i would have to make a mouse driver that worked with the gamepad? But i dont know how to do any of that stuff...

I have an xbox 360 guitar hero x-plorer controller and I was wondering if anyone here knows how to handle the event of a gamepad button press in the xna framework.
View 4 RepliesI was just wondering if there was a way to send the button value of a button on a controller to the controller. What I mean is, if the xbox 360 controller was a windows form, clicking the mouse on one of the buttons would be like regular button presses, and then the button.performclick for that button would also press that button. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I have a maskedtextbox that i want to limit character input in it but i can't manage to figure it out.The date type is "yyyy-mm-dd" and the mask is "1300/00/00" (it is not gregorian calender, it is persian )In the TextChanged event i am changing the bindingsource filter.Because of this i don't want the user enters invalid date. For example the user enters 9 in here : "1300/90/00" i want to prevent this from happening before TextChanged event occur. (the place isn't important i just want to stop user from entering an invalid month or day)I have tried the KeyPress event but i don't know how to detect where in the textbox user is entering a character.
Note that i know already how to validate and i have a code for that but the TypeValidationCompleted event occur when user does all changes and leave the textbox.
How do I change the keyboard inputs when a button's held down.Example: When SpaceBar is held down, if letter Q is typed P will the input instead.

im writing a program for counting the cash in a till.i have most of it worked out through research on this site and others. im trying to code a text box that allows the user to enter any amount between 0 and 9999.99. I have everything working except restricting user from entering more than 2 digits after the decimal. I could leave it as is and the currency format that im using will automatically round the input to 2 decimal places but this creates a problem if the user accidentally enters an extra digit and the program rounds up. for example if the user intends to enter "23.34" but accidentally enters "23.345" the program will round up to "$23.35" which will cause a problem in the end calculations.here is the code. if someone could explain what i need and where that would be great.

In this case, children includes all the Parent elements and all of the Child elements. What's the best way to grab only the direct descendants of <Root>?
Should I write a LINQ query that selects elements where parent = <Root>? Or is there some built-in method I'm missing that can get this for me?
EDIT: I had some confusion between XElement.Elements and XElement.Descendants. As Ruben Bartelink pointed out, XElement.Elements will give me exactly what I was looking for.

View 4 RepliesI have developed a custom DirectX UI library equipped with everything from buttons to a gridview. I need a screen-layout editor of some sort. It just takes too long to do it by hand, whether through a config file or hard-coding. I could spend a month or two developing a DirectX editing utility, but I don't have a month or two to spend on this. I could possibly justify a week.
Some requirements:
I need to be able to create a new screen I need to place controls such as buttons, textboxes, and containers/windows/etc throughout the screen I need to adjust properties of these controls (Name, Text, Width, Height, Parent Container, etc)
Some of my ideas include:Using VB.NET's form editor... setting up forms and translating the form's control information into game screens.Setting up a web-based editor (seems like this would take more than week... wouldn't it have to be flash based?)Setup a VB.NET win32 editor that allows placement of .NET buttons, containers, etc that correspond to my library's buttons, containers, etc.Is there a best way to handle this?
here's my problem.. i'm using a gridview control, and then i put a select column on the grid. My questions are, how to retrieve the data on one of the field in the gridview and then it will direct me to the another page.. (see example below)
[Code]...
once i click the "select" on the gridview, I will direct to another page(ex, Default.aspx) and then at the same time the value on "LastName" field of the corresponding row which i selected will display on the another page(ex, Default.aspx)
I am creating an application that creates scripts to move a mouse and to click where a user wishes to via pre-programmed code and to also press keys where required. I have the code to move a mouse and to manually click anywhere. What I am after is to detect when a mouse button is pressed and dragged and when keys are pressed.
I see that there is the following
MouseButtons.ToString
To detect when a mouse button is pressed, and have it looping in a timer. Is there a better way to do this? I would rather not use a timer. And is there a similar routine to detect which keys are pressed?
I have a datagridview that is binded to an database file. I also have a group of textboxes that are also binded to the same database. I wanted the user to add new inputs from the textbox to the datagridview. I tried using the code
