VS 2010 - Slowing Down Animation Sequence?
Feb 29, 2012
I'm trying to animate a game piece by using a picture box where the x,y location is changed as the image changes (cycles through a walk animation sequence). This all works fine, however it's too damn quick. I've tried slowing it down using a simple:
for z=1 to 1000000: next
While this works-ish there must be an easier way to slow down code....is there? On a related matter: Why does picturebox animation look so crap compared to combining images in the paint screen section? My picturebox seems to flicker every few frames.

I have a loop in my program that iterates at the start about 20,000 - 25,000 times per second. By the end of the loop, the iteration is down to about 6000 per second. [Code] The Alphabetize function merely returns the string with it's Chars in abc order. Can you see any bottlenecks or any reasons for the slowdown?

So I got this program to generate me some data and I want to show that data to a label.
If I don't do a display I can generate about 20,000 data per second, but if I do, I get about ~9,000 data per second.
PS. Since the generating logic in is a thread, I have a function that does the displaying to the label.

this is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.

How can I use a timer function to animate a form's width being smoothly expanded and contracted on the click of a button. The resultant effect that I'm looking for is exactly what happens when you run windows native calculator
1.Windows + R key. Run: "Calc"
2. Change the views from View option between "Standard" and "Scientific".
I've tried declaring two subs, using width += ## and width -= ##, but that doesn't output what I want, it just messes up things..

I'm using a KeyPress event in a VB form to move a game character around with keys. There are obstacles being moved every timer tick event. But if the player holds one of the movement keys down, the objects moving on timer ticks stop moving.

For a school project I need to create an application one element of that it puts 14 names into a random order, I figured the best way to do this was with an array and a for/next loop (it cannot repeat the names) each name would be declared as a string with the name of the variable being a number between 1,14. Then there would be a text box relating to each index of the array, I am sure you get what I mean. However, my for/next loop seems to be getting stuck and causing the application to halt and I cannot seem to work out why.
Here is my code.
Public Class Form1
Dim iNumber As Integer
Dim arrNumber(0 To 13) As Integer
Public Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code] .....
I have yet to write in the section which converts the random numbers into the names, as I discovered this error whilst debugging the for/next loop.

Visual Basic 2008/2010 - How do I automatically click buttons in a sequence?I have about 15 buttons that automatically goto a website, then it clicks on certain links and does save as page. They are working beautifully, now i have to automate this process. already have a code in place to wait for the website to finish with each button so i am not sure if i can still use a timer to complete this process?

I write in VB2010, the software should work with the external hardware via RS232, the thing is when I send a command to the external hardware I have to wait for a reply from the device that command was received, just after I got the answer I want to continue send another command, I have a long sequence of commands i'm supposed to send, but I need to know for sure that the commands were received before I go on to the next command. I did the following code, but I think the code is not effective, because sometimes I do not get an answer and then the whole sequence commands destroyed. Maybe you can help me optimize the code?

I'm trying to write a function which obtains the sequence_number by counting the records in a table that fit a particular criteria and if the result is 0 or nothing sets a variable to 1 but if the result is 1 for instance, the variable will be set to 1 + 1.
This is the code i'm using but i'm not getting the correct result when results are actually returned. For instance, if the result of count is 1, i want "seq" to equal 1 and total (which represents the sequence # assigned to the next record which is entered with the same plan and date) would therefore be 2 which is the result of seq + 1 (i.e. 1 + 1)

I would like to add an effect where a panel sweeps out of the way to make room for another panel. This is sort of like a sliding effect, and I think at one point in time this could be seen on Apple's website under their product pages. I came up with some code, but it isn't working.

The class Random is out right defective. It always produces the same random numbers in the same sequence. Things I have tried so far is every kind of seed you can think of as well as Randomize. The result is that I always get the same random numbers in exactly the same sequence.

Currently, working on my chess program, I am trying to show a bunch of chess variants in a picture box but i have come to a forked road of either making all the images collectively into a Gif animation using fireworks, or using the timer to shift them one by one.

(non-coding request)Okay, I have my client, my server, and my map editor...a 2d online game, and yes it's written in VB.NET.I have had a lot of trouble finding anything to do with adding an animation layer something that will flash with a timer to appear as if something like fire is animated. I have a lot done so far and I kinda want to stick with VB.NET working with this.
I'm not really looking for code here, but maybe an idea of "how" an animation layer plays into a map editor and client...specifically what is needed.Running this through my head I believe I am going to need a timer on both the map editor and client, showing and hiding the animation layer...but I don't think it is that easy, and am hoping someone here has an idea of the logic of how this works. I'm almost certain that the timer doesn't go on the server to control this, but am probably wrong.
