Build A Very Simpe Minigame In Which The Player Has To Pursuit And Catch Certain Figures On The Screen?
Sep 14, 2009
Here's my situation: I'm tryring to build a very simpe minigame in which the player has to pursuit and catch certain figures on the screen. This figures are currently showed as images on PictureBox wich i pass ByRef to some classes where the movement subrutines are. I have all the graphics in PNG, with transparent background, format and they look fine on the background, but when 2 or more of this figures are over the same place on the screen every PictureBox covers the underlying figure, so all i can see is one figure over the background.I was wondering if theres a way to solve this... Maybe using more powerfull libraries or something like that.
I'm currently trying to write a really simple game on which the player has to pursuit some figures on the screen. Since i'm just writing the prototype version i'm using a Panel wich i redraw 1000 times per second. Now, i want that every level is similar but not the same as past level, so i created a Level Class that contains the game objetcs of Player Class and the Figure Class, wich are the ones that have all the movement subrutines. So, with a Timer, 1000 times per second, i get the input from a joystick, pass it to the player objetc and update the position of the figure object. All this stuff is reported to an internal Panel that every level object has, wich i refresh and then pass it ByVal to the panel that the player actually sees. The problem i have is that after the first level ends, when the second level starts running, i can see the last frame of the fisrt level flashing behind the figures and it makes the game run a bit slower after every level. I tried keeping a copy of the inicial state of exterior panel and use it to clean the one i'm using on the levels but it didn't work...
I m selecting the folder & playing all the files in the media player, of that folder. As u know folder contains all types of files including text,zip,image & so on.So I want that when URL that is assigned to Media Player is .txt,then i assign any default image from resources.I do not want to check extensions-Currently I m checking the extension of each file before paying but i dont want dat.
Public Class Form1 Public Ext_bmp As String = ".bmp" Public Ext_jpg As String = ".jpg"
I have made a program that loads all the songs on my computer into a listview and plays them at random (at least that is what I want) right now I have them moveing to another list and removeing them from the current list so that none are played twice but I can't figure out where to put the code to make it wait until one song stops before starting the next song. is there a media completed function or something that I'm missing?

I,ve been making this DVD Player everything is fine all the codes are fine but I can't put Full Screen on my DVD Player. I have been trying to work it out for a while but can't seem to do it. I have this button that says Full Screen and I'm trying to work out how i can click on the button and the dvd player goes full screen.[code]
I have one issue with screen resolution. I want to know if is possible in my VB app to catch the moment when the resolution of screen are changed with a mesage. For example i have now the resolution 1920x1080 but when the user change the resolution to 1024x768 i want to catch this moment to change my controls size in app For Now in my app i get only the current resolution:
I've managed to implement a formula that helps me to get the closest tile's distance that meets my requirements. The only thing is, I can't retrieve the actual tile for some reason... Tiles are named "Items" also. Here is my code:
[code]...
It puts green squiggly lines under ClosestItem and gives me the error: "Warning 2 Variable 'ClosestItem' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime."
I'm using Windows media player to display movies within my vb.net application - which works fine. But I have noticed if I double-click the movie it expands to full screen, which I don't want. I want it to stay in the window where I put it. I cannot find a setting that affects this,
I'm a beginner VB.Net programmer using VS 2008.I'm planning a new winform project whose main form should look more or less like this:
[Code]...
The user can either choose from the Main Menu (by clicking an item) or enter the item number in the textbox. For example, if the user clicks DoSomething3 in the Main Menu (or alternatively enters 3 in the textbox), another form will be opened and hide the main form.What would be the best way to implement it?Specifically, I would like to know how I make so that choosing from the menu and entering a number in the textbox fire the same event.
With that I have 2 forms, 1 main form (with all the controls and it should contain a preview screen of what is being displayed on the second form.
And a second form (with a windows media player component).
Now the main form should have (as told) a preview screen of what is shown on the second screen, I want to know if it is possible to have is as the windows 7 taskbar thumbnail (when preview the mediaplayer).
One of the things my VB.NET program does is play video files using the Windows Media Player component that comes with VB. My program also switches the WMP component to full screen but once in a while the form will be on top of the full screen video. I am hoping that you fine and knowledgeable folks cat this from happening. The problem occurs when the next video file is played automatically. I'll do my best to post a bit of code but since I don't have much of an idea what might be causing this I'll just have to guess. The project has gotten quite large over the years I've been writing it and if any more code ito post any or all of it, though I'm sure no one would like to go through all 1771 lines of it.
Private Sub WMP_PlayStateChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent) Handles WMP.PlayStateChange If Stopping = True Then
I have looked all over the internet to find specifically what the title says and i cant find anything that will work and is what i want, it's mostly all vb6. so even more specifically i am creating a program that captures screenshots of the "axwindowsmediaplayer" control at what ever frame or part of the video it's on. i also noticed that there is a command in the little menu when you type in "axwindowsmediaplayer.capture" i don't know how to use it?
I have an application that is currently playing videos through the windows media player control from a website. I want it so that a button I have created, when clicked will make the wmp control full screen.
I've made a small game that lets the user move a picturebox around with arrowkeys. The monster picturebox is moved towards the player and keeps growing while you are "alive". If it touches you, you lose.
How to improve my code. Im the worst ever at OOP programming. The main reason is i dont understand how i can pass variables between subs/functions e.t.c. I've read up on overloading operators but i dont feel that i can grasp it. If someone has any comments or any simple examples on improving my ability i wouldnt mind hearing them ^^
This is what i have now. Attached project (with "graphics") without .exe files and all code is also below. Also an image of what it looks like below.
I want to build an app that closes itself everytime someone uses a screen capture software. Is that posible?I know many of those screen capture softwares are made on Visual Basic.And I wonder if is posible to detect a common component of those kind of capture applications.Because, I do not want to update my app every time a new screen capture software appears.
I am creating a splash screen for my vb.net 2005 app (.net 2.0 framework). I would like to include the build date and time on the screen without having to manually enter it myself everytime I do a release.
I have a "ClickOnce" application and on the Splash screen I display the Version. I am also displaying the "CreationTime" (see below) that I thought was when the Build or Publish was done. Today I realized it is displaying the date/time when the application is actually installed on the PC. How do I pull the date when the this version was compiled, Built, or Published? I really do not care which -I just want a constant date the sticks with that version. I'm using VB 2005.
I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try Catch ex As Exception End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.
The following code causes a "Warning" that Variable is used before value assigned.How do I restructure this Try/catch to eliminate error on the myreader.close command in the Catch part? Code appears to work fine but I dont like Warnings. [code]
i have problem when i click a ADD button, there is one null value in the textbox .. so the try catch statemnt is to catch that null value error but after that the catch is success but the button click never stop excute the statemnt till the end of the button event.
I have this scenario: in a Sub I have a Try...Catch statement.Within that Try..Catch I call another sub.In that 2nd sub is also a Try...Catch.(see below for example).Now if an exception occurs in the 2nd sub's Try...Catch, which Catch gets excecuted? The 2nd one, the 1st one or both?
How can I add a loop to this sequence to make the program give a total of the figures in the domestic and international columns when the word "ALL" is typed into the month textbox,instead of a number. The domestic total should go into the domestic textbox, the international total should go into the international textbox and the total of the domestic and international should go into the companytotal textbox.
'Basic Info: 'Month Domestic International '1 100,000 150,000

I need to catch log4net exceptions (its own exceptions not app exceptions logged by it). I wish there's a way of doing it this way: [code] I have this code implemented and there's no errors in compilation but i force log4net to have an error (pointing to a non existing database in the config file) and nothing is threw.I've tried the listener aproach: [code] and it's writing the errors to log4net.txt, the forced ones i mean.This last aproach has a couple of drawbacks: it won't append every error to the file, if the error is the same it doesn't write it, i can't get the listener to write every error to that file, only one (I don't know how to fully configure the trace listener, it might be that). Thus it won't append the date and hour to every line wich is a necesity for me. Finally i can't give structure to it (xml). Even if the listener work i need to use the try/catch aproach, since i'm using ExceptionHandling from Enterprise library to log the errors in my app.
Does anyone know why the domestic figure is showing up in both the domestic and international textbox? And why the totals of the domestic and international figures keep coming out to zero? [Code]
