VS 2010 Move On From GDI+
Sep 12, 2011
I am working on a little football simulator along similar lines to the Football Manager games. For those who aren't familiar with what they look like, here is an image. So yeah I just have little circles running around on the field. Things are fine but I hate the fact that GDI+, as far as I can tell, is pretty much entirely CPU driven. I mean I am trying to make a video game here and it seems like a waste of the graphics card. In terms of performance, it can be smooth but at other times is choppy.
In another thread I asked about multithreading (which I kind of have the hang of now) and when I run a bunch of tasks in the background the GDI+ performance goes right down, I guess because the CPU is being heavily taxed. I guess I could make sure there isn't much background processing from the game when using the GDI+ but I still don't like having the animation so CPU dependent.

I have very much a noob at coding for VB. I was wondering if i can make it so if u click button1 it will move your mouse to a location. Buuutt if its possible. Smoothly, not super fast the mouse is magically at your location.

This is actually not really a question about vb, but about how to make a code.I'm making a RPG game and I want to make my character have "normal" movement. The problem is actually when I just hold down one of my movement keys (a, s, d, w) my character will jump out of the screen because it's going to fast. here is my movement sub:
Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
'MOVEMENT'

It is very easy to move your cursor to a specific coordinate but my question here is how do you move your cursor to an image? Now what this would involve doing is importing an image so the program understands it, then finding that image on your screen (maybe through RGB colors). How exactly do you do this? What is the procedure?
Say I want to import this image: Now I want the program to find that image on the screen (THE START BUTTON) and then move my cursor on it.
so cursor.position = new point(the image)

A new journey, A new problem. As I downloaded VS2010 Today, there's a new UI, New Code, new problems.
Now I looked for a code that seemed to work for the VS2008, I found the one .Paul made, but it sure didn't work for me. Is there anyone who managed this on the new 2010? Please tell me.
If there were any confusion what I really wanted, I'll explain.

I am trying to make a shape move in a rectangular route clockwise. Right now I am only able to make the shape go right, down, left but not back up again. Whenever I try to make the shape return to its original position, the shape moves back up at the wrong place.

Public movingright1 As Integer
Public movingdown1 As Integer

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?

so 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

I'm using the following sub routines to allow the user to move treeview nodes up/down:
Public Sub MoveNodeUp(ByVal Nod As TreeNode)
Try
If Not (Nod.PrevNode Is Nothing) Then
Nod.Parent.Nodes.Insert(Nod.Index - 1, CType(Nod.Clone, TreeNode))
Nod.Remove()
[Code]...
Is there a simple way to keep the moved node selected after the move?

I'm doing a maze using VB10. its about moving a PictureBox between LineShape lines using buttons to move it. the problem is, can I make the picture not to move through the LineShape? if so how? or should I use something else other than the LineShape and another question can i save the progress of the maze and come back to it later? if so does it require using a database to save the location of the PictureBox?

What is the best way to resize & move a form using just VB commands? I have a form that I need to set the Height and Top props, problem is that takes two calls and there is a noticable flicker. I tried using SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout, DoubleBuffered, swaping the top and height calls around, etc, but nothing seems to help. The test forms only have one small listview and one or two buttons.

I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.
