I use the Magic Mouse, it's fantastic in OSX but more so because of MagicPrefs which extends the multi-touch gestures its capable of. I'd like to know if its possible for me to write drivers for the Magic Mouse in VB? to extend it's functionality. Or would this be better suited for C++? I don't even know where to start.

If you know of any good websites or anything out there that would get help get me started that would be great.
Trying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?

If I put this code in the form, the mouse will be moved once. I want it to "freeze" the mouse at the point that its moved at. If I put code in timer (which it is now), the mouse will keep searching for the color, so the mouse moves around like crazy. How do I change my code so that it will "freeze" the mouse once it finds the color? [Code]
View 11 RepliesI have a Richtextbox and I would Like the user of the program to be able to drag and drog the richtextbox in other specified places in the program.
I have this very basic
Private blnLifting As Boolean = False
Private Sub richTextBox4_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox4.MouseDown
[Code]....
Firstly its very inaccurate. I want it so the Richtextbox moves with the mouse and not after the mouse. So I want a smooth drag and drog.
So I don't know if this is the wrong code for something that I want perfect like that.
Secondly I dont know if its possible but I would like it so the box can only be dropped in certain area's in my program and if there is a box already occupying that space, It goes back to where it was before.

View 35 RepliesI have defined a class which inherits PictureBox-component.In this class I have a mouseClick and mouseDoubleClick events overridden.On mouseClick the image is selected. Now if user click it again, it is delesected.The mouseDoubleClick event starts the video which this picture is pointing to.Now the problem is that when user doubleclicks the pictureBox it actually calls the mouseClick-event twice (select-deselect) and does not call the mouseDoubleClick-event. How can I define it so that if mouseclicks are done as doubleclicks then doubleClick-event is called, not the click event twice?

My question, is it good for performance to declare public constants to hold 1 & 0 and use them in such above checks instead of using real number?
In general, if i use value like 8, 9, "", "$", etc... in just two different places, should i declare constant for it?
I should convert some code from VB to C#. Given following lines of VB work (I think only because option is not set to strict):
Dim someProp As SomeType
Try
someProp = CType(SomeInstance, Object).SomeProp
' ...
Due to late binding, this code is possible under VB. Of course, following won't work under C#:
SomeType someProp;
try
{
someProp = ((object)SomeInstance).SomeProp;
// ...
How could I formulate something similar under C#?
For my project, I need to develop an app, which will have MS-SQL db with 4 tables
a>FileHeader
b>FileFooter
c>Extension
d>Detail about the file.
This is all to do with the Magic Numbers, or File header and footer, found in all files. The first 4-byte and last 4-bytes.
Example:
Suppose a word DOC file when read using this app should return and match the values
D0 CF 11 E0
So, how can I read the files using vb.net, fileIO, FileStream/StreamClass/FileReader? I just need to open the file and read the first 4 and last 4 bytes of any given file. And then it should connect back to the SQL database and lookup for the matching values from the tables as I had mentioned. And return a match found or not found.
The goal in this assignment was to create a Magic 8 Ball that would display answers via array.Here's what I got down so far, now I apologize once again, I forgot most of the stuff so I don't even know if it is REMOTELY close to what it's suppose to be
Public Class Form1
Dim ArrayRes(7) As String
Private Sub btnASK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnASK.Click

I'm designing a 3 x 3 Magic Square, where the 3 x 3 tables are made of up three adjacent list boxes. Upon starting the program, the 3 x 3 square consists only of the character "?" to represent a variable that has yet to be defined. The user will input through text boxes and button presses the characters 1 to 9, replacing the highlighted undefined "?' with the desired number. I'm required to include a Function procedure that can, at any time scan the 3x3 table and return an integer value of -1 if an undefined character "?" is present, a value of 0 if the rows, columns and diagonals do not sum to the same value, or the sum common to all rows columns and diagonals.
To start with I defined a 2D array and undefined.
Dim mSquare(2,2) As String
Dim undefined As String = "?"
Then I used a Sub to set the 3x3 table as undefined which I did not show to save space. Next I used a Sub to update the highlighted characters, allowing only one list box to be selected at a time and which I hope also assigns the the values to the array as they are updated. I removed parts of the code so this post isn't too big.
If lstCol2.SelectedIndex = -1 And lstCol3.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
lstCol1.Items(lstCol1.SelectedIndex) = input
txtInput.Text = ""
End If
For i As Integer = 0 To 2
[Code] .....
What I'm stuck on is the Function design. I'm trying to design something to scan the array, and give back an integer depending on the results, which are to return an integer value of -1 if an undefined character "?" is present, a value of 0 if the rows, columns and diagonals do not sum to the same value, or the sum common to all rows columns and diagonals.
I'm currently trying
Function checkSquare(ByRef mSquare As String) As String

At the moment I keep getting the error "Public Readonly Default Property Chars(index As Integer) As Char". I keep getting an error like this even using a single variable and defining each j individually, and I'm wondering if its possible to pass arrays to functions or do I need to do something else. Is what I'm trying to do even possible? I did a longer method in which I just check all the entries individually but I'm hoping there is a more efficient way. Its my plan B for now.

View 6 Replies"First of all please TURN OPTION STRICT ON.I make no apology for the capitals - I consider it that important.When you do you will see that you are still using HorizontalAlignment instead of ContentAlignment.VB is converting from one to the other for you.Although that works fine here there are many cases when it will not be what you intended and can cause some very hard to find bugs.Under Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | VB Defaults Set: Option Strict ON, Option Explicit ON, Option Infer OFF".I did do this but it showed no errors, so I placed 'Option Strict On' at the start of the code, it then showed HorizontalAlignment with the squiggly line. I did edit my code to show this but I think you must have read it before I did. All other suggestions I will note and from now try to implement.Using "magic numbers" in the code is not good practice and makes maintenance difficult.Declare all such numbers at the top and use the names in the code.Is this what you mean? Const SpinTime As Integer = 500
Now when ever I refer in code to SpinTime it will always be 500..Change the NumberOfBoxes to 10 and run the app.In mine, to change boxes to 10 I needed to alter the code in 5 places, in yours 1 place! Talk about proof of the pudding etc.Now to my question, in the program when the start button is clicked and the five random numbers are displayed I have to stop and restart the program to generate five more. So I thought I would create another button 'Reset' this I did and all worked but it seemed a waste so I then just kept the start button in place and changed the text to Reset eg [code] This is fine the one thing I can't figure is how to replace the five numbers that were removed so that it is picking 5 from 500 every time. Now I'm at the end of all this writing I have it! just comment out the line 'Numbers.Remove(Number).
i'm running Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition (latest service pack ... 9.0.30729.1 SP) on XP Pro SP3 with .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1 I have a rather large project I've imported from Visual Studio 2003 (Standard).The project compiles and runs just fine ... my compiled program itself never crashes.
But while I actually have the code up in the IDE, and simply adding/deleting code the whole IDE will randomly crash (usually without warning) and I loose my changes since last save.If/when I do get some hint of why it crashed, I get a window about illegal whitespace or something.... but that's rare ... usually it just crashes without warning and the whole IDE completely shuts down instantly. just deleting/adding a character is enough to trigger it maybe once every 30 minutes.
This is on a computer that is otherwise very rock solid .... no other program ever crashes, etc.

I have a project to make a "3x3 magic square" and I'm not quite sure how to begin. A magic square is a 3x3 table of 9 values where the sum of the values along any row, column, or either diagonal all add up to the same value.I have to use listboxes to create a form displaying a table of 3 rows and 3 columns whose elements can be individually updated. The solution should have the following features:
- a procedure that initializes a Listbox to hold the value "?", representing the value "undefined", in each of its locations. The number of locations should be provided as a n additional parameter.
- a procedure that will update the contents of a listbox by replacing the currently highlighted entry with a value provided as a second argument. The program should at most have at most one entry among the listboxes highlighted.
I am trying to use a Function that returns an integer value: -1 if not all the elements on the table contain values, 0 if the rows/columns/diagonals don't sum up to the same value, or the sum common to all the rows columns, and diagonals is returned if everything is alright.The user will enter a 3x3 set of numbers. The program will monitor the status of the table as values are entered and displays the status in a textbox that describes if a magic square currently exists. If not all the entries have been made to the table, then the textbox should display a message indicating so.
I came to a company that already has a fully grown project... but coders that worked here before me didn't follow conventions and didn't use parametrized SQL queries... as a result there is over 1000 places in a very huge project that can possibly be vulnerable to SQL injection...
I need to find a solution that will automatically detect if there is an SQL injection in the code. So, for example there is a form which allows user to enter comments regarding a product, which will be sent to database on submit... how can we make sure that a user didn't enter a harmfull query instead of a normal text?
Is there any advanced code/regular expression/magic that can detect if this text contains a piece of SQL query instead of normal harmless text? I will accept any links, pieces of code in any language or even commercial software that will do that for me.

I am very close to finishing this function, what I am trying to do is a for loop which:
1) Grabs the value
2) saves the value in an .xml file for later use
Currently when I use a for loop to feed in my function I overwrite the hiddenFields.xml on every pass, instead of adding to it.
Calling function:
vb.net
For X As Integer = 0 To postingHiddenFields
Dim hiddenFieldsReturned As String = functionDealWithHiddenFields(HTMLResponse, postingHiddenFields, X)
Next
[Code] .....
So basically on every pass of the function I'm overwriting the values instead of adding to them.
Do not care to stay at these forums when criticized by other members.
