how would I change or even scroll the screen?
ex.You click a button and it takes you to a whole other form(different buttons, pics, etc.)
ex for scrolling. Adventure game-You walk at the top of the screen and your guy goes up. Maybe it would be easier to have the world move around my guy but 2 playwer woudn't work well with that.
Since the map image is bigger than my screen resolution 1280 x 1024, a horizontal scroll bar is shown. I use Location x and y to place icons, but the problem is:placing an icon at location (0, 0) when the horizontal scroll bar is at left-most position is different from when the horizontal scroll bar is at right-most position...If I move scroll bar to x-axis(right) 10 thenplacing an icon at (0, 0), should be (0, 0) but it is placed at (10, 0).n this case, is there any different approach?
View 1 RepliesI've encountered problems with programming a Guitar Hero game (Frets on Fire) because I just started visual basic, but I know a lot still. I am almost done with button pressing and picking and I can easily get the buttons to scroll, but is there a way to program the buttons that scroll along the screen by using a midi file, like in Frets on Fire. I just don't know how I can get the frets (buttons) to correspond with the song without spending hours programming one song by hand.

So I've gotten a lot of help from this forum for this incredibly large, incredibly pointless application I'm making right now.I need to be able to have people type in, say, the name of a city. Then it will display a table of Name / phone number.So I need a table that can change for each "city name", and can scroll down. I know I'll most likely have to save it to two variables for each "city", I'm already set up to do that. ( Variable Name, Variable Phone Number) What I don't know is how to... print the data into a table, or make two text boxes that will scroll simultaneously.If there is a way to attach a scroll-bar to two text boxes, that would be my preferred method. If I have to use a table, what would the substring and code look like to change:[code]
View 9 Repliesi have a textbox with hexadecimal values and i would like to use the slidebar/scrollbar to change the values (increase/decrease) then save the final values to a text file. To prevent the program from writing to many times to the file, i decided to use a timer. As long as the user still making changes or controlling the slide/scroll bar the timer will re-load (5 seconds). When the user is done modifying (no more dragging or clicking on the arrows) at that time the timer already expired, then the value get recorded to the text file.

I am making a color box that changes color when the user presses on the scroll bars.I have 3 scroll bars for RGB I have bars' properties set to min:0 and max:255.The following code does not give me the gradual change in color when pressing on the scroll bars. I keep getting a solid red, solid blue, solid green when pressing scroll bars.
Private Sub HScrollBar1_Scroll PictureBox1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(red:=255, blue:=0, green:=0)End Sub
For each bar I've changed the code color respectively. anyone show me how to get the colors to display on the picture box gradually instead of in one solid strike?
I am currently working on a VB.Net program where there are two parallel multiline text boxes like this.

I would like that when one text box is scrolled, the other is scrolled as well. I was wondering if there was a Scroll event that could trigger the change the position of the scroll bar of the two text boxes.
I have a tab control with two tab pages. One page has the auto scroll enabled since there is to much content in the page. The middle mouse wheel doesn't scroll the scroll bar; I have to actually click and hold the scroll bar and drag it down to scroll. Is there a property to allow this?

The problem is that this works perfectly if I use the left and right arrows and it also works perfectly if I use the scroll bar's slider SLOWLY. If I scroll using the slider and move it quickly then the scroll gets out of sync.The small change and large change are both set to 1 and maximum is set to 8
I have a DataGridView with a panel above it, that contains a group of textboxes above each column. My DataGridView has a horizontal scroll bar. What I want to do is when the DataGridView scrolls horizontally, scroll the panel with textboxes above it, so they stay aligned.I tried handling the DataGridView's scroll event, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
View 1 RepliesI am loading several command buttons into it (one in each grid box). I have the panel set to autoscroll. When TableLayoutPanel is set to AddColumns, all works well. However, I dont want horizontal scroll, I want vertical. When I set TableLayoutPanel to AddRows, a vertical scrollbar will not appear.

I've been using Me.AutoScrollPosition and have come up with code that is satisfactory but I haven't been able to always leave the vertical scroll position exactly as it is and just move the horizontal scroll position to the left limit.

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

View 2 RepliesI am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
