I'm trying to make a Form pop up at an random place (given in a textbox). Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
Form2.Location = Textbox1.text
Form2.Visible = True End Sub
Yes i know it doesn't work. What I really need to know is how to make the txt understandable for the system.drawing.point.

cn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:valid.mdb")

View 5 RepliesI am a grade 11 student in high school and am struggling with a project in my computer programing class. in the project we are to create a mario game, where you have 2 pictureboxes (the player and the enemy) one picturebox, the player, is moved using the keypad, the goomba isn't moved at all. the object of the game is to 'kill' as many goombas as quick as possible. I need to make the game so that if the boundries of the player intersect witht he boundries of the goomba, the goomba will move to a random location.
I can't get the goomba to move to a random location, here is my code. I highlited and bolded the part of the code that I am having the prolem with.

I am practicing using the drawing commands, and have gotten a grass background and black happy face that moves around the background.It's a 10x10 grid of 50 pixels.I want (at the moment, when i press enter) it to generate a random number of trees (15 ~ 25) at random locations on the background. The program doesn't freak out about anything, and the variables seem to be right (using stop commands) but it's not drawing anything. Here is the code for the "GenerateTrees" command I have for when I press enter.
Private Sub GenerateTrees()
NumberOfTrees = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 15
For i = 0 To NumberOfTrees - 1

View 7 RepliesDoes anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

[code] I am trying to place random numbers into labels, but the process that i am doing is taking way to long, just wondering if there is an easy way around this? I also need to know the answer to the sums that get placed into the labels and then check that against the answer in the text box.I have looked all over the DIC forums and nothing meets my queries.Please help, this is just a quick program for my son so that he can get some sums into him.

A fiend of mine and myself are working on a simple game of tic tac toe and we can't for the life of us figure out the computer part. Can you guys help?
What we want to know is, if the label has X or O in it and therefore is occupied then the computer should place at random an X or an O in an empty label.
I would like to place a form inside of a form, how would I do that?It would be like photoshop, where the tools form is inside the main form, or the filter form is inside the main form.
View 9 RepliesLike I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.

I have a function called DieRoll. In the function I have the following setup.
Dim objRandom as New Random
Dim intRoll as Integer
intRoll = objRandom.Next(1,7)
Return intRoll
Everything works as expected as far as generating a random number (1 - 6) is concerned, except for one problem. If I have a series of calls to the function one after another, the numbers come up the same. Is there a way to make sure that each call to the function is much more random?

here's my code:
Code:

P2foodarea is a large picture box I created. I only want the apple to spawn on P2Foodarea, atm, it spawns on P1Foodarea which is very weird. P1foodarea is a whole other picture box. I even made new variables as you can see P2ax and P2ay, but it still doesn't spawn on P2Foodarea. I have even tried recreating a new picture box for P2foodarea
I need a check that will see the location of the edge of the form. An example would be (for what I am trying to do) is, when a form is moved, the main form will get bigger depending which border and which way the second form is going.So basically I need some way to make Form1 get bigger if Form2 is near the left border or near the bottom border.

View 3 RepliesFor some reason, a certain Form in my project will change it's size all on it's own right after I call it. It's usually with small forms in the one I'm having a problem with is 95x25 pixels. The only thing on it is a Label with some text in the middle and this code
Public Class MessageForm
Private Time As Integer = 25
Private Sub fadeTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles fadeTimer.Tick
Time -= 1
[Code] .....
As you can see the Form is meant to be a small pop-up that disappears on its own, like a balloon tip. Anyways I just added it to my project 5 minutes ago and as soon as I tested it out by displaying it with Form.Show(), it randomly changed to 123 by something else during runtime. I checked all the Form properties for any kind of resize properties and only found AutoScaleMode which was set on font, but set on None made no difference. Like I said I just added this form and have no code affecting it whatsoever in my entire project except for Form.Show and the code on that form. For the moment I'm just resizing the form on it's own Load event, and that seems to work, but I'd like to know what is causing this random form resize.
So as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
