I've added a setup and deployment package to my project. When I go to install it the first screen says "Welcome to the setup setup wizard." Obviously, that doesn't look right. I want to change this, but can't figure out where that setting is. How to rename that setting so that it says "Welcome to the Wonderful Program setup wizard" instead?
View 6 RepliesI have textboxes and lables (e.g. displaying changing filenames etc) which I hope to display the latest value when a program run.But the fact is, I found content of such textboxes and lables are not updated when the program run (under debug mode) although I'm sure that I've issue such command as textbox.text="xxx" or label.text="yyy" etc.What should I do in order that the textbox and lable can always display latest value when a program run?

How I make SetUp for program in vb.net with local database(data base which include in visual studio.net 2008) to make it work in other computers which not have the visual studio 2008?
View 7 RepliesI'm creating setup using VS2008 and I can able to create. The problem is the setup location is always c:program filesdefault company name.
I can rename that while installing. but, how can I change default company name while creating setup.
I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.What I am trying to do is:Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office) Emulate key-press "Enter" Paste text and hit enter again Emulate key-press CTRL and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top). Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy) Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot Repeat for next text in database.I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.
View 1 RepliesI am in process of writing a setup program that will reside in a USB stick.After inserting the Stick the VB2008E program starts (dont know how) and guides the technician to do certain tasks. As a part of this She/He needs to run a Setup.exe that resides in the same USB stick.
1- How do I define the drive letter of this USB stick.
2- How do I run the x:Setup.exe program without exiting the VB2008? The install process should begin after click of a button.
3- Would Autorun work on USB drives to run the program automaticaly?
4- How do I compile to make a single EXE file at the end?
How to set up a Chart using the new MS Chart control. I want to be able to populate the data via SQL because the user will be able to dynamically change the values via drop downs. The format of the data will be the same (Qty, Time Period) but the Focus of that data will change. I'm honestly not sure where to start, I can draw the chart but I have no idea how to populate it with data via code so it can be changed dynamically.

Can I have Two basic Questions about Setup Project deploying -
1, After I put company's logo at startup installation, there was still text shown up "Welcome xxxx setup.." together with the logo, how to remove it and display company's logo only? Also, if using text display and the text is too long, how to return to next line?
2, If I setup more than once, I was told to remove the first one using Add/Remove program in Control Panel before setting up new program. How can I use a dialog like "Overwrite the existing program"?
I'm trying to build my first program and I've run into a few problems with SQL. I have a database with customers and employees (among other things) and I'm trying to set up a basic login screen. Users log in with their EmployeeID (primary key) This part deals with logging in for the first time. It checks the database for a user with that ID and grabs the password. If the password is not empty / null, it shows a message box and stops there. If the password is empty/null it is meant to confirm and then update the new password. This is where my understanding ends. Debugging shows the error is definitely in the SQL update, but I can't see any errors...

View 2 RepliesWell in some games I want to make, I want to be able to move or change the screen. I will just post examples of some of the things that I would like to do.
ex. Like in an RPG game where you go inside of a building
ex. Press a key and a menu comes up
ex. Click a button to change the screen to a different part of your game( in a restaurant, click a button and you got to the kitchen)
ex. Scrolling screen as in an RPG or adventure game
ex. 2 player split screen where they both have scrolling screens
I was thinking I could achieve this by haveing more than 1 form but you can only see 1 and it switches between them but I doubt I could do that.
I am a novice programmer and would like to create a program that will divide the user desktop screen into 2 sections such that one bigger section of around 90% screen size is left for user to work with other windows that when maximized should not ovelrap the other 10% section which will hold some other information that will always be static on the user's screen.I am using vb2008.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a difficult time converting a Windows API call that works fine in VB6 to run in VB 2005 (Windows XP with SP2 in both cases). I reduced the problem code down to its core which is below. I'm trying to change the screen resolution with the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx call; the idea is that on entering the program it shifts to high resolution and at the end it restores the original settings. I left the restore part out because I get the same error. Which is "An invalid parameter was passed in.This can include an invalid flag or combination of flags." I'm trying to use exactly the same parameters, but somewhere in the conversion process from VB6 a fatal change crept in. My guess is that it's either in the ByRef/ByVal or Short/Integer/Long alternatives, or in the conversion of the Devmode structure which included fixed-length strings (OK in VB6 but not allowed in VB.NET). But all my fiddling so far has not produced a solution. I got the same error code back in VB6 when I tried to set a display frequency that was not supported at the resolution I requested, but even leaving the values unmodified (in effect setting them to what they are now, with no change) gives the same error. Any ideas? So far as I can tell, there is no alternative to the API to accomplish this goal; would be interested to know if I missed it.

View 2 RepliesI wanted to make a screen recorder (not screen capture) program, but I am not entirely sure how to get it started. I have seen many videos and things on how to make one, but all of these just take multiple pictures and then don't compile them into a movie file, and I don't want to take many pictures (unless that is the only way possible.) I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have looked at the Windows Media Encoder, but I can't seem to figure out how to use/implement it (yes, I have downloaded and installed it.) Maybe I can use some kind of ActiveX control?

I want to know how to change the form to well another screen. Example:In the popular mcdonalds flash game you can scroll through varius screens such as the restaurant, the farm, etc. You can still play the game though and it's not just a picture. Another example would be a pause/menu screen where you could interact with it. Could I use more than one form but when they play the game they can only see the first one? Then when a certain event happens it changes to the other form or something?

View 2 RepliesI am working on a application which is basically a screen designer. I have implemented the form designing capabilities using IDesignerHost and other interfaces. In my application user can pick a component from toolbox and drop it on the designer screen and can configure the properties from property window. I have my own set of properties which gets populated from database. Screen designer is working fine but the problem occurs when user changes some properties from property window. Say user changes property 'Width' then I change the width of the selected control in designer but the problem is SelectionOverlay shows the old size. When I select another control and select old control again, SelectionOverlay(resize handlers which appears around the control) shows properly. How can I tell the SelectionOverlay that the size of the control is changed.
