View 6 RepliesI need help creating a application that converts inches to feet and vice versa, this problem comes based off of this application I had to create to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa--below is the first application. I get the basic idea of how to start, but Im having trouble with what I should put to start the conversion, what variable? Everything I'm putting in is coming up as error.

I am attempting to make a unit converter that converts between km, m, cm, miles, yards, feet, and inches. I have a textbox that is used to input the value to convert followed by a space and the units (i.e., 56 km) and a second textbox where the user types what unit they want to convert to (i.e., cm). When converting, the output will be displayed in the second textbox. (I know this is complicated, but this is the way it is to be done). I am doing this using sub and function procedures and If blocks and Select Case blocks (i.e., keeping it as simple as possible).

View 5 RepliesI am trying to figure out this problem for my class, and I can't even decide where to start with it. The question is: Create a Project to compute your checking account balance.Form: Include radio buttons to indicate the type of transaction: deposit check or service charge. A text box will allow the user to enter the amount of the transaction. Display the new balance in a ReadOnly text box. Calculate the balance by adding deposits and subtracting service charges and checks. Include buttons of Calculate, Clear, Print, and Exit.This question has me stumped, I dont know where to really being, this is how I decided it should work in my head, let me know if theres an easier way.They choose one of the three radio buttons and to the left of that is a text box with a submit button under. They type in there deposits and hit submit after each one, and then do the same for service charges and checks. Once they are done they hit the calculate button, which displays it in a readonly text box.

View 16 RepliesI've read many articles on how to create transparent labels but it seems to me that my particular case is not covered. Very simply I have a label placed in the upper right part of the form, which in fact is part of the menu strip. The label displays some info to the user but I wish it were transparent. I've tried various methods including
lblAct.Parent = mnuMain '(or Me)
lblAct.BackColor = Color.Transparent
lblAct.BringToFront()
But cant get it to work. How I can make that label in that position transparent?
I've been working with System.Drawing for awhile and like to think I have a good handle on it; I've created classes that draw grids, write text in gridboxes and rectangles, convert rectangles to circles, fill areas with color, etc. What I don't have is any sense of artistry at all, and I don't have the slightest clue how one would use System.Drawing to draw a rectangle and then color/slope the edges so that it looks like a System.Windows.Forms.Button would, or how to make it look like it's inset deeper than the surrounding Form, like setting a Panel's BorderStyle to Fixed3D.

Make a folder, based on an input file - example :
You have a file named Movie1.avi on your desktop, u open up the program (that I want to make) and then simply drag drop that file into a box area, and then the program will create a folder, with the same name as the input file, but without the extension (folder name Movie1) and then automatically put that file into the folder it just created.
The new folder will be created in the same dir as the input file.
Multiple file support - is NOT needed.
I know how it will be done, but I don't know the code..
I am trying to create a report that will give me the area of multiple polygons on a layer. There will be an unknown number of layers and polygons. I was thinking I could use a multidimensional array with each row holding the layer name and the area of that polygon then loop through and separate the layers and sum the areas. My problem is that in all the reading I�ve done on the subject I�m not sure of how to initialize the array.

I need to take a minimum and maximum value from the user for length and width using an array(s) and display the square feet of all values. Since the values can be any number the array(s) size cannot be defined. In my form I have 4 text boxes (MinWidthTextBox, MaxWidthTextBox, MinLengthTextBox, MaxLengthTextBox). I have been able to take the text from each text box and initialize 2 separate arrays with those values, however I am completely lost on how to get the square feet from each element. In other words I don't know how to do this:
WidthArray(0) * LengthArray(0)
WidthArray(1) * LengthArray(1)
WidthArray(2) * LengthArray(2) etc. etc.
I don't know if that is possible or if I am over complicating things.
Here is the code I used for my arrays:
Dim WidthArray() As Integer
Dim LengthArray() As Integer
Dim MinWidthInteger, MaxWidthInteger, MinLengthInteger, MaxLengthInteger,
[Code]......
In each For loop I can output the elements to a listbox for text and it works but again I have no idea how to multiply each element to one another to get square feet. Should I be using a multidimension array instead?

I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height.

View 5 RepliesI started learning vb 2010 over the internet for about an a week and got stuck on this assignment that I got from the internet
1.Add one textbox so the user can enter a distance measured in feet. Add labels as needed.
2.Add a button control which when clicked is converts the feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meters), accepting floating point values and preserving them (no integer conversions) and display the output as shown next. 1 Points
3.Display the conversion result using a MessageBox (not msgbox) using this format: x feet is y meters, where x is the value entered and y is the result of the conversion to meters with up to 2 decimal places only. Then show an extra line of "Would you like to start another distance conversion?" and make the No button the default in the message popup and display the question icon.
4. If the user chooses Yes, cleanup the controls as in the Reset button. 0.5 Point
5.If the user clicks no, ask in another MessageBox if the user wants to quit.
6.If the user chooses to quit, close the window, otherwise no action is required.

I want to print the form, so it needs to always be the same dimensions (4" by 6"). I saw some examples for previous versions of VB, but nothing that works in VB10.
What would be the easiest way to have a NumericUpDown control showing a double quote " after the value? It's to represent a distance in inches.
