Hello I want to create a windows form application program that can create games something like Gamemaker or Klik & Play (butt less advanced) with D&D "Drag and Drop" events and actions.

I realize that this is a very popular subject, especially amongst budding developers. The drive to create games may be the reason you started working with Visual Basic in the first place. After stepping through a few samples and getting the hang of working with user controls on a form, it may be very tempting to start to throw some PictureBoxes and a Timer on a Form and start to implement some game logic. Seems easy enough, right?
To some extent, this is a true statement.You could start to do this and it would be easy enough¦ at first. But when you begin to try to calculate collision and animate or rotate your sprites, you may start to run into some difficulty. And attempts to circumvent the problems often lead to even worse issues.This can cause an endless spiral of misery which could leave you thinking VB just isnt meant to make games!
The initial problem that most people face is the desire to use a PictureBox (or any other control) as the logical Sprite¯ container for the elements in the game. It makes sense since the control appears to provide a lot of the required functionality already and its easy to extend it with more properties as needed.
The issue though is that Windows Forms Controls are designed to be drawn statically“ that is, they arent meant to move around in real-time. You can of course move them at run-time, but this is normally an on-demand operation (something which occurs because the user just took an action like clicking a button or menu item). Attempting to move controls in real-time puts a heavy strain on your application and can cause poor performance quickly.[code]....

View 2 RepliesI have just begun using Visual Studio to create a windows form application in visual basic. I have a chart on the form, and I would like to be able to right-click, copy the chart and then paste in,say, Microsoft word. At the moment I have created a contextmenustrip which appears when the user clicks on the chart, but I am unsure of the code necessary to actually copy the chart and hold it until pasted into a different application.

I want to create a table in my windows form application using VB.Net.
The table's rows and collumns are filled dynamically based on a selection in a drop down list. Each row in that table would have 2 textboxes, 1 combobox, 2 checkboxes, and 1 button.
I am aware of DataGridView and TableLayoutPanel -DataGridView - I do not like the appearance so I don't want to use it...Also it is not very flexible with checkboxes and buttons
TableLayoutPanel - Will involve many lines of code. Also handling the checkbox and button click events is not very flexible
Do i create a windows form application or which one do i choose? Here is the instructions. For this assignment, you will create a Visual Basic.NET application to manage personal assets. A screen shot of the desired UI is shown in the following image. You can also download a running example of the completed project and the required database, ITP400_IP2_A.mdb. be aware the example program does not necessarily demonstrate all of the functional requirements, and it is intended only as an example. You are responsible for meeting the listed requirements. Please refer to the following information for the complete requirements.
Requirements
* Fields in tblAssets (These are in the database table and should be displayed on the screen.)
o fldAssetID, long integer, primary key
o fldAssetName, string
o fldDescription, string
o fldDateAcquired, datetime
o fldCost, single
* Perform the appropriate steps to create a connection to the sample database. Be sure to select the option to copy the database to your project so it will be automatically included in the project.
* Perform the appropriate steps to display the detail view of the fields on your form. Be sure to include a functional BindingNavigator on your form.
* Do not allow the user to resize the form.
* Format the Cost field as currency.
* Add a standard pull-down menu to the program with the following structure:
o File (Save, Exit)
o Navigate (First Record, Previous Record, Next Record, Last Record)
I've search the net in order to create a custom control but nothing I find is worth looking at, The main thing I want to do is create a skinengin via DLL and import it in my vb 2010 then using or creating some sort of skin builder where I can create a full setting file which contains all the details of the customization regarding the Form(Look, Feel and the controls such as a menu), I have used Iriskin and multiple apps doing this for me and when a user installs my application they still recieve a message about buying the registered DLL file, I would like to create it completely from scratch.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to create a back button for a Windows Application to go from one form to it's previous form.
I know how to go to the next form, just can't figure out the other way.
We have a Windows Forms application that needs to run on an ASUS EEE PC on-site. The application displays some data on the Form, and processes some data in the background. It is connected via Serial Port and USB to some custom electronics at the location. We could have used a regular 8051 microcontroller for processing and displaying the data, but since we added a barcode scanner along with a database into the equation, we needed a chip with an OS, so we went with the ASUS EEE PC minimalistic machine option, with Windows XP installed, and the platform used for coding the application as VB.NET and SQL Server.
We have two user logins created on the Windows machine - an admin login, and a limited user login. What we require is that when the employees manning the on-site location switch on the computer, and login into their limited user login, instead of displaying the desktop and exposing normal Windows functionality, the machine should directly start our Forms application, and not allow the user to quit or close or minimize the application in any way, but should only display our Forms application in full-screen mode. The Forms application should have a button which, when clicked, exposes the Windows Shut-Down dialog so that the machine can be shut down when not in use.
the project contains access database file i want to make a setup of my windows application .
View 6 RepliesI'm Using Visual Studio 2005 and Mysql Database to create a windows application. The datagrid displays all the records. Since I don't know how to directly update from datagrid, thats why I have used textboxes for the respective datagrid fields. A load button is provided which on clicking puts the data on the respective textboxes. The data can be edited in the textbox. Problem is that I can't save this edited or modified data back into dattabase.
