I am making a program that will put a black mask over an application (like a full screened game). This black mask will fade in and out, depending on certain criteria. Is there a way I can do that with VB? It's to help me dim my monitor without having to push anything.
View 3 RepliesI have a wonderful program which needs to be overlay-ed over my full screen directX game, the only problem is I can't seem to find any way of doing this with .net coding
things that don't work are, these are not overlays and will not work over a full screen directX game. I posted this so hopefully no one gives me that answer by mistake.
HTML
timer1.interval = 1
if timer1.enabled = true then
me.topmost = true
end if
the only thing I can seem to find is this example and source C# overlay maker however it's pretty old and it's for C# but maybe someone could convert it somehow to .net or something, I really need to find a way to do the overlaying tho been trying for months now...
My name is Orens Xhagolli and I am a between Beginner-Intermediate level. I am trying to create a little game with nice-looking and good options in Visual Basic.net. A good game needs to run in full screen. (Because the new directX is not suitable for my age (13) I don't want to use it and beacuse its a bit difficult to use it.) I read a few answers in MSDN forums but the full screen there doesn't take the entire screen ( The taskbar is visible ).
View 10 RepliesNow I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen. At the moment it's at the far top, left of the screen. When the screen size varies I want it will stay in the middle for all shapes and sizes. Like :
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 500px;"></div>
But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.
How do you get an application, using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 express, to run in full screen mode. You know what I mean, like a game would but an application.
View 2 RepliesI am making a web application in ASP.NET 4.0. For some reason I need to open a web site always in full screen. It is a tedious task to open a web site in browser and then toggle to fullscreen.Is there any way to open the browser (preferably IE9 or Google Chrome) in full screen programmatically?Can I put some code in the Page_Load() method of my default page that toggles the browser to full screen?
View 2 RepliesI have two timers in my application. One that updates some text label every 100 ms, and another one which makes the text scroll to the left. Both timers are working fine, however,if Timer2 is enabled i get some problems while playing fullscreen video in VLC. Usually the mouse dissapears when running full screen and leaving the mouse, but if my program is running (and therefore Timer2 is enabled) the mouse wont dissapear. If i go disable Timer2 theres no problems.. I just dont understand why it is only Timer2 that does this and why timer one doesn't affect VLC? Timer1 and Timer2's code is below
vb.net
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

I have a bit of an issue here. I made a "Colour picker" dialog in my program with which you can pick the colour at the mouse. It is a simple topmost form with an OnPaint handler used to draw a coloured border around the cursor:
It uses a transparency key to make the non-drawn parts of the form transparent.
It uses the following code to prevent the mouse from clicking through the screen:
Window.FromControl(Me).ExStyle(Window.ExStyles.Layered) = True
Window.FromControl(Me).ExStyle(Window.ExStyles.Transparent) = False
It sets Layered to True and Transparent to False. This works in Windows 7, but on a XP machine it fails. When moving the mouse the event does not go to the forms' event handler and you can just click through. For a screen region selector I simply made a screenshot, but I want the Colour Picker to remain updated. (just in case you want to get the colour of an animated control)
How can I get this to work on a Windows XP machine?
I have made quite a nice and tidy little game. Its based around space invaders and works quite well. however because i have finished my college project almost 2 weeks ahead of the assignments release date, my tutor has asked me to tweak my project and make it better.So far i have added a full main menu to the game and a full splash screen. I would like to add in a section for recorded high scores but have no idea how to attempt this at all.

View 2 RepliesBTW 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 10 RepliesI am having an issue with displaying a PDF in an iframe in asp.net. When the pdf shows up it is showing up without the Acrobat toolbar that allows the user to zoom and print.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a manually started screen-saver-esque program, and I need the "Black screen" form to be full screen, totally black and border-less.
I have so far managed to fix the last two criterea with changing the border style and form back color, but how do I make the form default full-screen?
The only settings I could find were things like "Manual" and "Center Parent". I'm probably just missing something obvious, but how do I make the form full-screen by default?
