High-Score Table : Sorting Values From 2 External Text Files?
Mar 7, 2011Program : my game is a frogger port, you make the frog cross the road until you run out of lives. When you die, you are asked to enter your name and the name is appended to the end of file called names.txt, the final score is appended to the end of a file called scores.txt.Using the System.IO functions, i read the contents of each text file, and load the contents into two separate strings (one for names, one for scores. These two long strings are then broken down using Split() command, transferring the pieces into an array. (again 2 arrays - one for names, one for scores). The contents of both arrays are then loaded into 2 listboxes, 1 for scores, 1 for names.
Problem: i can sucessfully load the contents of both files, and display them side by side - but i want to re-arrange the scores so that they are in descending order. While doing this, i need to make sure that the player name matches up with the score - so the order of the names being displayed would have to be changed aswell. After spending many, many hours trying to do it myself i have had to give up - i'm clueless. My first issue is converting the score array into integers so that the array could be sorted, the second problem is then sorting the names so that the scores and names match up.
VS 2008 : VB Won't Run External .exe
Jul 23, 2009I've been working on a program and the final step in it is to run an external exe. This particular exe is a video game exe. What happens is the code will run fine, the game starts up, and right when the screen blinks to go into the game, the game stops stops. I don't even get to the logos in the beginning.
This game in particular is Star Wars Battlefront II, and I'm trying to run the main game file (BattlefrontII.exe). I've tried TONS of ways to try and get this work.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Extracting An Image From An External Application?
Aug 18, 2009I'm hoping someone can provide me with some help in regards to this, here's a quick overview of what I'm doing: I'm using user32.dll API on a 2 second timer to detect which window is open, FindWindow(), once I've found the window I'm looking for, I use FindWindowEx() to get the child window of the previously found one.
So I've got my window which contains 2 items. An image, and an Input box.
2 questions (Minor, and Major)
Minor: Is there a better way to monitor when a particular window opens?
Major: How would I extract the image that is held on the form? And then insert text into the input box?
Note: The image is variable - it's polled from a website.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Setting Focus To An External Textbox?
Mar 26, 2010Essentially what I would like to do is press a button, this then triggers a code to focus on a certain program, focus on a certain textbox and input the text from the clipboard not via pasting.
Now I have been able to achieve all of the above fairly easily except for one crucial component, focusing on the desired component. This program is essentially to automate some data entering for users via hotkeys, therefore I can't simply simulate tabs as it will not always be in the same position. So now comes the question, how do I focus on specific textboxes/controls in other programs?
I've been able to find huge walls of code with no explanation beyond "this is a concept". However no documentation or relevant examples.
