Normally you would move a program around by dragging the bar at the top of the window, agreed? How can you change a form in VB to move around when dragging anywhere on the form apart from a button?
View 17 RepliesI have made a borderless form, but i still wish to be able to drag it around the screen.
But i dont have a normal background, ive got an image that covers it. I wish to be able to drag this overlaying image around the screen. Ive found code examples that allow you to drag the form, but you have to acctually drag the form.... Not the image (i couldn't adapt any of them)
Is there a way to move form by pressing and dragging a mouse on any part of the form ?

View 3 Repliesso my goal is to get a picturebox to move in random directions and smoothly (like a character moving straight in a game) without using thread.sleep and me.refresh (and also without animation atm). Would anyone be able to guide me on how to accomplish this?The reason I want to do this is because when I need to use like 3 threads to move 3 different things around smoothly my computer slows down too much.here's my code now without all the other subs used to place the random code in it's own thread. There's a lot of other code too so I can't really post the entire thing:
Private Sub random_movements(ByVal e As Integer, ByVal speed As Integer, ByVal ctrl As Control)
Dim location_x As Integer = ctrl.Location.X

View 4 RepliesIn an earlier post today [URL].. jmcilhinney in post #9 says,Quote: If you're going to use a DataSet at all then there's no reason not to use a typed DataSet. I would not recommend dragging items from the Data Sources window directly onto a form but that is not a requirement of using a Data Source.
I was wondering what is the down side of dragging items onto the form. I don't mind doing the manual programming, I would just like to know the reason I'm doing it.

I have a file in foulder named "realmd.***" when i choose my options from the boxes it must put what i selected into the file (The file is a normal txt file with the ext *** only), it has to pull the "wowlocation" and "wowreagon" from the DB, when it does that it is able to pick the right thing to put on,There is only 3 Values, US, EU and WTN, each will have its own text to put into the file, how would i Open that Specific file and then write the values i choose?
3. How do i make a Image Launch a Program? (The location of the file is in the registery, basicly "wowlocation/wow.exe" ?
4. I have a Status Image, i have a spasific IP, I need to check if its responding, if not itll change a image to down.png and if its responding itll change the image to up.png, picturebox name "statusimg"?

View 1 RepliesI want to make a login system for my program, and i want it to pull the list from an ftp as an text document. (Lets say its ftp.notarealftpsite.lol)
The text document will be arranged like this:
user:pass
ipwn:not
ilolz:yet
and i want the program to search for the provided username and password in the list and switch to form2 if its found, else it will throw an error at the user.
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.

1. When i inpute the month, it doesnt input it, it just makes the combobox on the website smaller for some reason

Im learning Visual Basic 2010 on my programming class and we reached the part of file handling. Here i tried to make a simple program that can create a text file with the content of what i type on the textbox, basically i create the file if it doesn't exist, and if it already exists i append the content to it. Once the file is saved i can read it using the "Open" button. Unfortunataly, whenever i try to create the file, the compiler gives me an error saying that it cannot modify a closed file, although i've followed up the execution instruction by instruction and i can't find the error.
