VS 2008 Draw Rectangles, Then Putting Them In VARIABLES?
May 16, 2009
I don't really know how to explain this except that I want to draw a bunch of rectangles in a LOOP, then I want each rectangle to be put into an array. To be more specific as alot of people keep telling me to be....I am making a robot, that can move left or right from below the screen, the robot is a rectangle with a barrel in the middle of it. The robot can shoot bullets, but as I understand I have to draw the bullets from the code. So far I have the functions written down to get started and I have tried all the drawing methods, and none of them will do what I want.
I have an automated electrical tester, I want to create a type of map file so that way the user can select a subset of devices to test. So basically I want to create a type of grid that the user will be able to highlight specific rectangles in the grid so that way the tester knows to test only those specific locations. To start I want to create a 4X4 grid and each individual rectangle in the grid will contain some coordinate information. Does anyone have a tiny example of how I can draw a 4X4 grid, or any thoughts on the best way to do this? The real final map I will be making will have over 50K devices.
My aim is to draw single pixels and rectangles on any web browser.
I ve been thinking alot about this and I think I that there might be 2 ways to do this:
1) Send message api maybe?
2) Direct 3d hook with C++ (Although this is quite complicated)
So my questions are:
Btw the use for it is to detect a certain pixel on the webbrowser and draw on it.
Don't ask why since it is quite complicated and I know also how to use Send message api and I once managed to program a direct 3d hook (but for a 3d game which was based on direct x SDK) with C++ although im not sure if it will work due to webbrowsers dont work with directx.
I have two rectangles; a character and a block. The character is suppose to jump onto the block and then either jump off it or walk off it. I am really getting frustrated with this because I cannot get it to work.
I want to be able to click and drag the mouse over the picturebox to create a selection area and I want it to snap an image to each place on the picturebox that it can. So if I have it set to snap to 50 pixels, and I select the points (50,50) - (100,100) I should get back 4 points: (50,50), (50,100), (100,50), and (100,100). The thing is though, It can't loop through every single location.
Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.
[Code]...
As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.
vb.net Function GetSerial() As Boolean Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand
[code]....
When I put the code into the onbutton click it seems to work fine. But when i put it in the above fuction and start the function i get this error:
Error:System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Serials at System.Data.ProviderBase.FieldNameLookup.GetOrdinal(String fieldName) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.GetOrdinal(String name)
How do i put "" quotes in a string because the string is defined with " and " i want it to be something like Dim TempString As String = "Test="Test"" but how do i get the "" inside the "" if you know what i mean.
putting a blurred background on my form in Visual Basic 2008. I know how to make a transparrent one, but i needed to make it blurry. I have searched for: "making background blurry visual basic 2008" but nothing useful came up.
I'm developing a new programme that uses multiple table to store Orders placed via my website, on the form that i have created i have a Combobox that displays the Point of sale name. what i need it to do is when the record is updated in need the Point_of_sale_ID value that matches the name from the Point_Of_Sale table to be put into the Point_of_Sale_ID field on the Sales_Order tableI have added the Foreign Keys for the fields, but i cannot find any help in regards to this, i mainly wor with PHP but have taken on the new challenge of VB & ADO.Net, i have rear several book on the subject and have produced several single table programs but am now stuck!! [code]
I'm currently grabbing all files in a folder and displaying them into a listview. Below is the code I'm using:
[Code]...
If you look at the "For" line, you can see that pulling all files with an extension of .txt. There are some files that I need to pul with different extensions. I tried just doing "*.", and it would grab the files with not extension, but not the txt extension.
So, I wanted to know if there was some way to just pull all files or specify more than one extension.
OK, SO i have this program that outputs all the servers on a specific game. It outputs it to a text file. HOWEVER, There is a lot of annoying spaces. This is kind of hard to explain, so ill try to explain it. This is what The text file looks like. [Code]
As you can see, they have these annoying spaces. What I want to do: 1. Get rid of the spaces, BUT KEEP A SPACE BETWEEN THE IP AND THE PORT. 2. After the spaces that are bad are gone, I want the program to output each single IP AND port To its own text Box. It doesn't matter is the textbox of the IP and Port are separated, It can just be one textbox with the IP and port, with a space between them. Thats about it. I have the GUI done, and the rest of the programming, all I need now is this. Reformat without spaces > output each separate line of text to a separate textbox > TYTYTYTY
PS, is there a way for VB to send a command to the command prompt? Say, I wanted it to open a CMD box and send ipconfig into that box, what would that be?
I am trying to have different types of rectangles. I thought something like this would work, but Rectangle is not a class.
Public Class xRectangle Inherits Rectangle End Class
What I wanted this for was to remove a selection rectangle from an existing drawing. I have all of the objects to draw stored in a list and I am trying to remove the selection rectangle without removing the object it is covering.
I have made considerable progress on a game I am making, but one of the fundamentals of it relies on collision detection. At the moment, I am using Rectangle.IntersectsWith() to check "collision" between two PictureBoxes, but I don't want everything all square (graphics, etc). So I set about adjusting regions and have ended up with a circular button (from the MSDN example). What I'd like to know is this: Is there any way I can check intersection between any two OBJECTS, not just rectangles? As in, if the rectangle intersects with or is inside the circle in any way then how do I check it programmatically?
Lets say that I've got the coordinates of two Rectangles, they could be right next to each other or have space between them. I need to draw a PolygonHotSpot around the two rectangles (so it will only cover the two rectangles and the space between them). I've come to find that I have to give the coordinates a clockwise order around the entire polygon, rather than around each rectangle (which works fine for a single rectangle).
So given a list of coordinates, is there a way to get them into the order that I need for there to not be any gaps in my PolygonHotSpot?
I have a bunch of rectangles simulating players for a football game I'm designing. I want to find out how many "players" are in between two points on the field. I have a start point (a defender trying to locate the ball carrier) and endpoint (the ball carrier). I need the number of other players in between those two points (I have all of their coordinates as well). The more traffic in the defender's field of vision the harder it will be to find the ball.
I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.
I need some help calculating physics after a collision, sort of like rigid body physics but just for rectangles, I don't need them to rotate but only to know the x and y speed they leave each other and the angular velocity etc. the collision with the walls work fine since all I'm doing is reversing the speeds of the rectangles (which is probably the wrong way of doing it) but unfortunately this does not not work for the two rectangles colliding with each other, so can some1 lead me in the right direction as to how I can go about calculating this.
Redrawing rectangles on a Form? I have a problem repainting my form, I'm creating a "Bouncing block" Type of game , the Ball as a PicturBox, the Bar as A Picture Box And the Breakable "Targets" as An Array of Rectangles created in my forms Paint event using "e.Graphics.FillRectangles(Brush, rectsF)". It Looks a little like this:
Top of my Form(in the MainForm class): Dim Brush As New SolidBrush(Color.Red) Dim rectsF() As Rectangle
I have a DataGridView (not data bound, not editable) that displays a bunch of data. I want to draw rectangles around some of the blocks of cells to set them apart visually. For example, I want to draw a red border around the block of cells from row 3 colum 2 to row 6 column 3 so that there is a red rectangle around the 8 cells.I've found how to paint rectangles around individual cells or rows, but I can't work out how to do it for a block of cells.
