Create A "touchscreen" Computer?
Oct 1, 2010
so I was watching Iron Man when an amazing idea struck me. What if I could use my webcam and my hand to create a "touchscreen" computer. My thought was to have a glove with two dots on two different fingers, red for left click, green for right click. I'd then use my webcam to track where my finger went and move the mouse to the corresponding point and when the red dot got closer (bigger) it would left click there, when the green dot did it would right click.
I think the general concept would be simple just the coding would be quite difficult. I already know how to access the camera and display it's image I just don't know how to do any object tracking. I've been looking for some code or tutorials but everything I've found is in C or C# and I can't program in those languages.

I am running a VB app that I developed in Visual Studio 2008. This app runs on an XP machine with a touch screen without a keyboard plugged in. I would like to add a popup numeric keypad for the user when a data field is touched. Can anyone tell me what is needed to create the keypad?

I need to come up with a way for a user to select multiple non-consecutive rows of a DataGridView from a touchscreen. Using a mouse & keyboard I would just Ctrl-Click on the rows I want to select, but I dont have that option with a touchscreen.

I'm about to lose my mind. I'm trying to make a touchscreen overlay for our crappy POS software at work. It is a simple DOS program. I had built an autohotkey script and gui but I just didn't like the look and lack of advanced menus. All I want is to replicate the CONTROLSEND ability of autohotkey. I tried the autohotkey.dll but I have no idea how to add it to my project. I was hoping VB2010 had something built in that can send a string of keystrokes to the DOS program underneath. I have searched all sorts of forum posts for a SIMPLE snippet of code. Seems anyone seeking this is out for nefarious purposes though, and little help is offered. If you worry about this please PM me so I can prove to you my good intentions.
Let me repeat, all I want is a simple snippet of code that when a button is pushed, a specific string (characters and function keys) is sent to a specific out of focus dos box.

I'm developing a GUI for a touchscreen, so when user wants to scroll he/she uses their fingers. Now the thing is that the scrollbar width (with the vertical scrollbar) IS adjustable but the button stays the same height and isn't sufficient for a finger. So the question is : Are the buttons in the scrollbar allso adjustable in size/dimensions.

I am writing a GUI application to run on a touchscreen device using VB.NET and WPF--it must be full screen at all times, like a kiosk app; the window must not be able to resize or move in any way. The window contains a ListBox that users can currently scroll through by dragging across the list. The problem I'm seeing is that when the user drags across the list, the whole window moves a bit, exposing the desktop underneath, then springs back into place once the user stops dragging. I have not been able to figure out how to keep the window stationary while still allowing users to drag across the ListBox to view all list items. Here is a somewhat simplified version of my code:

This isn't really a VB specific question. It's .Net in general... if you have ideas in another .Net language, let me know... I know most of the .Net languages (I don't know that foxtrot or what not weird ones). Furthermore this isn't a 'I don't know the method on some class I should be using' kind of question, it's a design/problem solving kind of question.I'd like to know how you'd approach the problem with in the boundaries set.

Is there any way to use VB 2008 to create an app to work on a computer that does not require .NET 2.0+? If there is no way to install .NET on the target computer, is there any way to write the app in such a way that it works on the computer?

i want to create an enhanced login screen for a windows vista computer. On my laptop i am able to scan my finger to login instead of using a password. This fingerprint scanner is a program/process on my computer. If this program is able to detect a finger print being scanned and then act accordingly on the login screen, even when the user has not logged in yet, then what i want to do is possible.
All i want to do is create my own security/login screen, perhaps mine can replace the default windows vista one on my computer.
So here are my main questions:
1. How do i make my program/process run on the login screen, before the user signed in? (So i may use my own login program)
2. Depending on the anwser to question 1, how do i replace the default login screen?

How do I create commands that allow a group of adjustable voltages to be provided outside the computer, via the usb, serial or paralell ports, etc to control devices connected to the computer?
As a former electronic technician and developer, I have several useful projects I would like to develop.For example, I just received a celestron digital microcope and I am interested in developing a speciman stage the microscope can be placed in which provides a from 4 to 8 adjustable led's located above the speciman and more below the speciman so the lighting on the specimen can be adjusted in a variety of ways so hidden features of the specimen will be revealed when viewed from the microscope.
how to send the commandsf rom the computer to outside devies for further processing is my primary concern into a port to accept these voltage commands since I am behind on current technical advances in the electronic field.

After scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?

I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

I have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.
