View 6 RepliesDoes anyone know why my text isn't changing? When my main form's "logging in" screen appears, the text is supposed to change as it makes changes to the main form. I did this by having a timer start when the form loads and as it ticks the actions are performed and the text changes. The timer's interval is 1,000.[code]By default, loadingtxt says "Logging In As (Username)". However, the text just remains as this instead of changing. Is the timer's interval not big enough or something?

View 1 RepliesI am createing a console application and I was wondering if there was a way to display text like a computer was typing it itself. In further detail, if i wrote the line,Console.writeline("pie")console.read, and then i started the app, it would type each letter a quarter second or so apart, not just display the text. So it would first display p, then a couple miliseconds later it displayer i, and then e.

View 9 RepliesI am making a gradient colored text tool for a game I play where they use a 3 digit number as an RGB color code before text. Making gradients by hand is tedious, as to do a gradient you type one letter at a time with an RGB code that changes by 1 in front of each letter.
example: "^090H^190e^290l^390l^490o" Would be a color gradient for Hello
I have a user input text into a text box and choose up to 6 colors. The colors then are assigned RGB values, only instead of 0-255 they are 0-9. (So they look like this 000=black 999=white 090=green, etc.)
I have figured out how to do this, but now I need to place the RGB values in front of the users text while only changing one of the RGB numbers at a time.
So if the color values are 090 and 900:
"090 190 290 390 490 590 690 790 890 990 980 970 960 950 940 930 920 910 900" is what I would like generated with the users text spaced evenly between.
I have no idea as to how I would go about putting three digit color codes between the users text or how to change the color codes one number at a time. I could try to do this on my own but it would be sloppy and probably a lot more code than needed (I have a feeling I should be using a loop or something like 'for each')... It's been awhile since I opened VB!
I need to work with multiline textboxes. I am currently developing a web application that was started by someone else. The only problem I have is the text in my multiline textboxes is going to the next line before it needs to. I have played around with settings, removed the textboxes and added them back, and I am still having the same problem. When typing in the textboxes, the text moves to the next line after pressing the space bar.
View 6 RepliesI'd like you filter some results in a grid, and i want the user to be able to type a value into a textbox, and then the grid will be filtered by that value. I don't need help with the grid or how to populate it. My question is in regards to the textbox; How can i tell when the user has stopped typing so i can automatically load the grid? I thought about doing a refresh automatically in the TextChanged event, but that seems silly since the user could still be typing more characters.

I am making a game similar to Final Fantasy (anyone ever heard of it?), and I want there to be gauge like ATB (Active Time Battle), like there were in the later games. The ATB gauge is a gauge that controls when a character can act, whether it be attacking an enemy, or healing. The gauge is only used in battle. So can I change the color of a progress bar's...progress? The green part that's fill(ing)? Because the ForeColor property doesn't change that color.

View 4 RepliesBut can we change the colour of a Progress Bar to another colours depending on it's value.
For example:
When the value is between 0 and 40 it's colour turns red. And when it's 40-80 yeallow and 80-100 Gree.
I don't wanna do it by changing it's theme. all the ways I read will make me change the theme.
