View 16 RepliesI have a splash screen set using the Application Framework. In my main form, I check for some conditions in Load() event of the MainForm and display a MsgBox if some of them fails.
But the problem is, the MsgBox comes below the Splash Screen.

I made an application that need some time to load. Therefore i want to use a splash screen with a progressbar.
I found some tutorials on how to create a splash, but they are just fake splash screens. They just set the interval at 25 seconds so the application has the time to load. Think thats very annoying if you have a fast computer that could load the application much faster then that. And what if you have a real slow one and the application needs to load longer then 25 seconds.
Is it hard to create a splash screen that only shows itself for the time the application needs to load? And how do i do that?
I would like to create my own custom login screen for windows xp, so instead of typing my password, just put my finger on a fingerprinter sensor and my app will read the fingerprint and see how it is, then make the login itself.

View 3 RepliesAt the moment my problem is when the function is called If I run it without line 3' MsgBox("bfdbfbniu") the x & y aren't being returned, however when I put a msgbox they are? I don't understand why it would work with a textbox, in comparison to without one. I honestly think the msgbox() should have no effect;
'If CPU is second
If count4win = 1 Then
MsgBox("bfdbfbniu")

I am learning Visual Basic 2010 and I am working on a space combat program for my own education and amusement (a simulation of the Honorverse space combat system). I have a routine to add ships to the enemy ship roster and then place them randomly on the viewscreen. When I step through the sub with the debugger, it works fine, but when I run it without stopping, it wants to place all the objects in the same place on the screen. It's actually assigning 2 random numbers pertaining to the size of the viewscreen and assigning those numbers to GameObjectScreenLocation through GameObjectWorldLocation.X and GameObjectWorldLocation.Y. The objects are fully initialized to 0 in their constructor, FYI. Code is below:

I've recently been working on a simple media player (following some guide and using my small brain ). I have created a simple playlist, with load/ save ability, add remove track and play and all the normal bull . However I was wondering if I could get some help making it more advanced: How do I create my own track / volume sliders - and even a custom 'screen' to play visualisations / movies? how do I create skip buttons (the ones on the media player controller don't work :@)? I know how to make a button skip a track (I think), but how to I make it skip to the next track in my playlist box? [code] I have created a context menu for my playlist, with buttons such as play, add and remove, but I want it so that when I right click on song the code activates on the song I right clicked on. At the minute whatever song I right click on it still runs the code on the song that selected not the one I right clicked on.Also my playlist, displays the whole file location of the tracks, how to I make it display only the tracks name.Also I have an open dialog control, I know how to set a filter, but how do i set it to filter more than one extension.please note that most of this code is from various guises, and I have simply edited it and merged different codes to suit my needs.

View 3 RepliesMy objective is to have a splash screen that displays a status and steps a progress bar. I have created a custom splash screen form with all the controls that I require. Note: This form has not been designated
as the splash screen in the application settings. I tried that earlier and it got me nowhere. On the main form's load event I show the splash screen. All that seems to work. What doesn't work is getting an update to the splash screen. Actually the function gets called and the label control text gets changed
(I think) but the splash screen never shows the update. I have tried to refresh the control and the form itself but that doesn't work. After spending all morning on the search engines I tried using a delegate but that doesn't seem to

I'm using the SplashScreen template. I've added the code in various places. Either the code will delay the splash screen from showing, then it flashes up for half a second, or the code will do nothing.
