So I had this idea to make a virtual drum set and my school book doesn't have the answer for me and I haven't been able to successfully google this. The only things I need to know is how to add a sound to a picture box that will activate when clicked and how to assign a key on the keyboard to activate the sound as well.
View 14 RepliesI am very new to programming In Visual Basic 2005, and programming in general. I have been working on a snake game for my programming class. I have working version of the game that uses four buttons (up,down,left,right) to control the snake. What I want to do is make it so you can control the snake with the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of having to click the buttons.
View 6 RepliesI was making a program where it takes text from a textbox on one form, and places into a textbox on another form. If the first text I am taking says "test" Then the buttons code would be:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text
This works, however, if there were two textboxes in the first form, and I wanted this:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox2.Text
- this would not work because one of them will override. I wanted to know how I could send a key into the form just once. I have tried this:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & ("{ENTER}")
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox2.Text
I am trying to assign some letters to some buttons using visual basic 2008 or 2010 beta.What code would be used to do this: if the button 'a' is pressed the lets say button21 clicks.Sorry if this was allready in the forums, but i tryed allready like 4 methods and dont unterstand how these work.I know how to program in c++ and i am trying to move to vb.
View 6 RepliesI have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

I'm ready to start adding sound to a 3D game and I'm looking for a decent Free library.it would not require DX and be something like:
dim MySound as SoundLib.Sound
MySound = SoundLib.LoadSound("soundfile.wav")
SoundLib.Play3DWorld(Location.X, Location.Y, Location.Z, VolumeModifier, MySound)so far all Im finding is expensive, C#, old, or not .NET compatible.
I'm creating an application that will have 3 streams of audio. I can get 2 streams playing easy enough using DirectX AudioVideoPlayback and setting the balance for each Audio Instance. However, I need a 3rd Audio instance to play out of another output such as the Rear or Centre. An alternative would be to be able to select a different sound device in the machine to play the 3rd audio stream.

View 1 RepliesI need my program to 'listen in' for a specific sound.
View 3 RepliesI would like to be able to measure the frequency of a sine wave applied to the input of a "standard" Windows sound card system.I need to do this in near real-time (not by analyzing a wav file after the event) and I need to continuously measure every half-cycle of audio and store the results in some kind of buffer that I can read into a VB app. I have tried googling for this and it seems to be a very popular question but I have not found any really good answers. Does anyone know of a DLL that could do this? I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable sum for a commercial DLL if there is such a thing.
Another related requirement is to generate sine-waves - again this must be done in near real-time and it must be possible to change each half-cylce of the waveform. For example,I might need to generate a few half-cycles of 1500 Hz to be followed (with no break in the waveform) by half-a-cycle of 2300 Hz.
I need to get the decibel level of sound being sent to the sound card (not the actual sound level the speakers are instructed to emit via volume level)There is next to no information i can find on the net to even access sound data. Could anyone point me in a direction for this? The OS will be vista/7.

I've tried a few alternative libs such as DirectShow.Net, DirectSound, BASS.Net, QuickTime and OpenTK.Some of them do what I need to do, but they are either too difficult to use and therefore impractical or they are missing some other essential features such as Events which are required to make the rest of the application work. Would anyone oppose to me posting this same thread on other forums?I will of course post a solution if one is found elsewhere without advertising external websites.

View 2 RepliesI have a program which have to play a sound at a specific time in each day.Currently I made a timer with 450 interval and I put a code in it which check if datetime.now = mytime then it will play the sound.(the program runs in background)
It is working but the problem is that sometimes it doesn't play the sound. I think I didn't used a proper way to this.I have even tried checking datetime.now.hour & .minute & .second with mytime to make sure it does play it at the right time But I don't know why the timer sometimes miss it and the play sound won't be run.

View 1 RepliesI am building an image processing program. As part of this, I have a picturebox, set to AutoSize.
When I load an image larger than the size of the picturebox's container the box automatically expands and shows scroll bars. This is what I want. I can scroll the picturebox using the mouse to click on these, but I would like to be able to scroll the image using the arrow keys. This poses a couple of problems:
1) finding what properties to change or events to raise when a key is pressed. It is a property of the picturbox, or a property of the container?
2) dealing with repeated scrolling while the arrow keys are held. I know I can use keydown to detect that an arrow key has been pressed, but how do I continue to scroll as long as the key is held down?
