First let me say yes this is for homework and no, I DO NOT want an answer in code. A simple nudge in the correct direction will suffice.Basically I am attempting to roll the dice with the roll button and then display the number of times a number shows up with a bar graph.

My probelm, sometimes messagebox.show method don't show messagebox on screen. It will appear in task bar but we have to click it to show it on screen (looks like it is hanged but messagebox is already there in taskbar so click it to show message "success" then click ok to close the messagebox). then only we can click "ok" to close it. without clicking it my "in progress" window won't close. sometimes messagebox will appear with no problem.
I am trying to write a program in VB2008 Express. I originally wrote it in excel, but I want to add some features and make it a standalone executable. the program is ideal for a spreadsheet application though.
essentially, there are two input tables. each containing about 6 columns and maybe 10 rows. I assume that could be handled by arrays. the output would be a continuously updated table of output based on calculations using the data from the two input tables. the output table would be about 4 columns by up to 1000+ rows, and would need to be recalculated and displayed each time any data in the input tables has changed.
first, are arrays sufficient to handle this? would databases be more appropriate?
second, what's the best way to display a long list of output, that has a user defined length and is continually updated. it would also be nice to have the ability to click on an individual cell (or value) in the output and have more code executed.
is there a way to incorporate a spreadsheet like tool for this as a backend? I want to make sure i'm using the most efficient approach before i invest too much time.

View 1 RepliesI have a task to resolve, it is regading extracting characters from a long string to the console, the extracted text shall be reformatted and saved into a CSV file. The string comes out of a database.
It looks something like: UNH+RAM6957+ORDERS:D:96A:UN:EGC103'BGM+38G::ZEW+REQEST6957+9'DTM+Z05:0:805'DTM+137:20100930154
The values are seperated by '.I can query the database and display the string on the console, but now I need to extract the Keyword 'ORDERS' for example, and lets say it's following 5 Characters. So the output should look like: ORDERS:D:96A then I need to extract the keyword 'BGM' and its following five characters so the output should look like: BGM+38G:After extracting all the keywords, the result should be comma seperated and look like:
ORDERS:D:96A,BGM+38G: it should be saved into a CSV file automatically.
I tried already:
'Lookup for containing KeyWords
Dim FoundPosition1 = p_EDI.Contains("ORDERS")
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition1)
Which gives the starting position of the Keyword.I tried to trim the whole thing around the keyword "DTM". The EDI variable holds the entire string from the Database:
Dim FoundPosition2 = EDI
FoundPosition2 = Trim(Mid(EDI, InStr(EDI, "DTM")))
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition2)

View 1 RepliesI have a problem regarding bill printing on roll paper. My printer is Epson LX-300+II, my roll paper is about 3" width, and is used for printing bill/invoices for the customers. The number of items varies.Whenever I finished printing the bill, the printer throws out/ejects the paper, as long as about a letter (11") size. Whatever the ways to achieve this, I just want the printer stop printing/ejecting after the last line, then i can tear off the bill for my customers without wasting paper.
I'm really wondering someone out there could help me.. I have worked hard for this, and searched in internet, but it seems that there's no applicable and clear solution. If the solution is in VB, please give me the code to implement this, or give me a very simple example application.I cannot make a custom size in my printing preference.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a VB project for use on a touch screen so I require buttons that when pressed load a different image (the selected version of the image) ie. I know how to do this in HTML and CSS for use in web pages but am struggling to find out how to do it in VB.I have an image (looks like a button) that I want displayed in my form window and then when the image is clicked I want the image to swap for another image so to the user it looks like they are pressing a button.Now the standard windows button in VB (ie when you drag a "button" from the tool box) does this but I can not replicate this using my own images.

I 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?

How do I make it when you type in a number above or below 1 and 100 the messagebox comes up? I can only make the msgbox come up after Ive clicked the button, how do I make it automatically come up when I try to click anywhere else?
