I have a small problem, When i Start Debugging my program a lot of windows popping up such as: Watch 1 - 4, Memory 1 - 4,Autos And Registers. What should I turn off to make them stop popping on debugging?
View 4 RepliesMy program starts a lengthy background operation in a separate thread, and the main thread makes the ProgressBar start scrolling. My question is, how do I tell the main thread how to know when the background thread has stopped, so it can turn off the ProgressBar?
View 8 RepliesWhen I end my app by pressing the stop button in visual studio, is there a way for that event to trigger some exit code? I'd rather do that than include a visually distracting quit button.
Better still would be to program some kind of key sequence, eg control + q to trigger some quit code so my app can exit cleanly. Is this possible? I wouldn't know how to program a key shortcut but it might be handy.
I wrote the following code to build a basic game that makes two cars race (randomgenerator) and let the user pick their bets on the end results. I've gone terribly wrong somewhere in that my cars only race halfway then get stuck behind the start line and the programme keeps repeating the beeping and the messsagebox.show and adding results to the 'incorrect' box.
The only way to terminate the application is to hit 'stop debugging'.

This is a rather odd problem i am running into I currently have a web page that i am adding hyperlinks to that when clicked will open a file (usually Word file though there are some Excel files). Here's the problem. When debugging all of the files do open properly, however, files labeled .doc, .docx, or .xls all end up stopping debug mode when they open. I have .docm files that open properly and do not stop debugging. There isn't an error thrown anywhere just a forced stop of debug mode it seems.
Has anyone ran into a problem similar to this? I have only tested locally but i am unsure if it will cause problems when putting it on the test server. I'm still not quite done with the rest of the page so i was hoping to stop this behavior before completeing the project.
Well, I've read (and learned) that the finally block doesn't always execute its code (even apart from pulling the plug).FYI For more information, see try catch finally question

When I go to Debug my program (F5), the program will load, until I click on the form with the main part of code in it, and then the program freezes, although it doesn't lock up because as soon as I press stop debugging/ task manager end process, it closes fine.
I will attach the zip of the program here. The form that it freezes on is "Black Ops". Edit Due to the forum not accepting my .Zip file (Invalid file type), I will upload it to MediaFire. Download link (445kb): Click Here
I have a simple program that runs in the background and when the user presses a certain key will take a printscreen and pop up a save file dialog to save an image. But sometimes the save dialog is not appearing because it loads buried under other pre-existing windows, which have to be minimized in order to find it. Is there any way to force this dialog to be on top?
View 11 RepliesI created 3 timers, i want each timer to take turn start which means timer1 stop then timer2 start, once timer2 stop timer3 start. But my code seem to be running together once i click the play button.And is there any ways to easy control how my picturebox move? Because my code for controlling it movement need to keep finding the correct number for it to move.

Out of curiosity, is there a way i can make a program stop or pause for a period of time (which i would choose) before continuing the code WITHOUT a timer.I think I've seen this done before, but I'm not positive.Also note that I'm talking about a forms application (not a console app if that would be any different.)

I am trying to make the textbox.text turn italic when textbox.text = "" using:
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
TextBox1.Font.Italic = True

However, it says Property 'Italic' is 'ReadOnly'.Also, I am trying to turn the font color to red with a button, and turn it back to black with another.
Right now I can add background music in my program by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Music_3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I can also turn it off and change the music by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Another_Music, AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?
I was wondering if their was a way to for me to turn off events and then turn them back on in my program or just queue them up until i am ready for them to be excuted. Kinda like how a OS turns on and off interupts. Is this one of those general programming no-nos?

When I call the save dialog object to prompt the user for a new file name, sometimes it does not appear as the active window, it is occasionally popping under all the open windows, and you have to minimize all of them back to the desktop to find it. What sort of problem would cause this, and is there a way to force it to the front?

View 9 Repliesi'm working on a game where when your character (in a picture box) collides with anthother charachter (also in a picturebox), the character disappears. i want the computer to generate characters as you play. I'm trying to figure out how the computer will know if the player character has collided with a computer generated character. as the computer generates characters it puts their names in a list box. what i'm not sure how to do is pull the names out of the list box and have the computer check the location property of the picture box with the name that corresponds.
