View 2 RepliesI'm trying to simply center the label text in the middle of my program.I put the label control in the center of my form. It starts out blank. Then, it receives input from the return values of MySQL commands being sent out to a server.When it receives the message, it displays like this:
|-------->
.. with the "|" being where the label starts.I'd like it to center the text like this:
<-----|----->
Is this possible. Hopefully I explained it clearly. I had no success with the text align property or modifying the anchor property.
Is it any way to make my program start in the lower right of the users screen? Above the clock you know.

View 1 RepliesSo i am working on a GUI for a game (just some messing around in VB.net tho) and i came across the following problem. The board of my game consists of a 70*35 grid of RectangleShapes on which i can move around. When i start my program it renders the board from right to left on the screen and i have serious lag when i try to move around on it. I know you'd normally use double buffering to reduce flickering, but that didn't do anything (unless i'm doing it wrong).
This is my code:
Code:
Dim player As Player = New Player
Dim board(70, 35) As RectangleShape
#Region "Initialisation"

How can i make a full screen form, with no borders stand in the middle?

I am using 2010 express, and when I try to use it to open a program that I had made with 2008, it will open and it will allow me to debug the program, but neither the designer nor the code will show. It is just an empty space in the middle of the screen.

View 8 RepliesI need to start and then minimise/normalise an instance of On Screen Keyboard from my app:
PID = Shell("explorer C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe",AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
seems to launch it okay but how can I then "find" it and minimise/normalise its window?Also, would it be better if I launched it differently? I've tried missing out the 'explorer':
PID = Shell("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
but this says "file not found"...

I should I do so that when a program is run, it automatically checks for conditions. If true, it will continue opening the form but if false, it opens another. What I've done is it goes directly to one form and if false it will close the form using me.hide() and loads a form using Form1.show(). Problem is, if the condition is false, both forms will open. What is the right way to do this?

View 10 RepliesI have created a program that saves and opens a custom filetype that I have created. In windows I have associated this program with that particular extension. What kind of handler do I need to tell the program what to do when it is started by double-clicking a file that it is associated with? As of right now, the program starts, but of course it doesn't know what to do with the file that started it, so it does nothing. I searched with no luck, sort of hard to choose keywords.

I am trying to launch a program using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:Program FilesFrets on FireFretsOnFire.exe") but the program always fails - the program generates an error log - so its obviously trying to start - ive included the log text but i doubt it will be useful.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FretsOnFire.py", line 45, in <module>
File "GameEngine.pyo", line 23, in <module>
Yet it runs fine when double clicked? why i can launch it from explorer but not from my code

View 4 RepliesI'm getting a really strange error. I have a program that needs to run a thread on startup, and for some reason when I do myThread.Start() in Form1() it will crash with "program is not working" (But only on Windows Server, not on my local machine!). However, if I put the same code under button1_Start() it works no problem. What gives?
EDIT A little extra information: In my thread I have a line of code that uses invoke
Invoke(new Action(() => richTextBox1.AppendText(string.Format("Updating {0}..
", DateTime.Now))));
And for some reason the crashing goes away after I make the thread sleep for 2 seconds before it starts executing. Am I using the right method to execute code on the app startup?
