Creating An Alarm Clock Application Which Requires User Input To Switch Off The Alarm
May 21, 2011
i am creating an alarm clock application which requires user input to switch off the alarm. I have 3 comboBoxes on the form named day month year. when the user enters the correct date ( Current date) and click the button the alarm is deactivated. the code to check that the date entered in the comboBoxes is the current date.
I am trying to create an alarm clock. What the problem is, is that when I then the program where the default file is using wmp.URL="SomeWhere\In\A\Music Folder\song.mp3" I get this error: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown. When I that line of code it runs, but when the alarm goes off there is no sound. And having a alarm clock go off with no sound is not going to get one up. I do have wmp com control on the form.
i am creating an application that is like an alarm, for example an item in my listbox is "2010-10-24" and the date in my label is also "2010-10-24".i would like to pop a message that there is a due paper in that date.my problem is my code below, it does not find the item in listbox and the label equal. i wonder what is the problem,
I am new to VB coding so I'm trying some easy projects.I figured an alarm clock would be a good place to start. But I'm Having a hard time with the MP3 Part of it all.I want a pre-selected MP3 to start, when my timer2 is = to the time of day.But i Have never really used MP3's in any project. So dose anyone know how i would go about.
I would like to make an alarm clock application, however I am having some problems in the brainstorming phase.
My main problem is the fact that I dont know how to ensure the application will be able to calculate the time and thus set off the alarm. For example, when the application is closed, how will the alarm go off?
Ideally I would like to make this app a system startup item, so if the system is rebooted, the application will automatically relaunch - but again, I dont know how to do that.
If the system is sleeping, how can I wake it up? These kind of problems.
Another dilema I have, is if this application is always running, how could I have it go to my taskbar hidden icon menu (the right section of the taskbar next to the time).
I'm making an alarm clock whose form's backColor should change randomlly every 5 seconds. I am not sure as to how to do this. I'm using a timer so after the alarm clock's given time matches the current time, a song will be played. But I do not know how to count the seconds, or milliseconds that pass after starting time.
im new to the forums and vb. I decided to make a alarm clock and the basic functions work great. But I want to add a button that allows you to set the time you want to snooze till. The button stops the alarm but doesnt set it off. Basically it just does what my stop alarm button does well heres the code. P.S. The last button (button 3) is the snooze button

I'm opening a form like a "popup" as in an alarm clock.The problem is: I don't know if a modal form is open at this moment, and the popup form needs to be a modal (I think but not sure), so I have a potential (and not so potential) crash.
I am creating an application which requires user to enter some data using popup. There will be text boxes and drop down list which will be filled by the user. Once the user fills the required information and submits it using a button, the popup will dissapear. Can anyone direct me how to use Popup control to contain textbox, drop down list and buttons.

I'm tried creating an analog clock and I realized I was terrible at trig and gave up. So instead I'm just creating a digital clock. I'm having problems getting the alarm to go off. Lemme explain my layout, I have 3 comboboxes. 1 is for the hour, 1 is for the minute and 1 is for am/pm.

I just decided to recode my personal alarm program from scratch, new functions, ui etc and optimize it but I'm stuck on a part.
I have the option to start an alarm and set it to expire at a specific time, say in 2 days 5 hours 18 mins 10 secs. I was wondering what would be the best way (performance wise) to achieve this.
me and my thesis group is wanting to make an alarm that can be connected trough the usb port. how can we send data to the usb to make the alarm ring and stop ringing. we need it in vb.net.
I'm using access to replicate something that is very simple in excel. I have one "due date" column, and I want the cell right next to those cells to tell me if there are less than 15 days to that date. In excel is a simple conditional function, but I want to do it in Access because it looks better.I'm new to access and even though I've been reading some posts and forums I haven't been able to pull this out. I tried to program a macro with the following
Sub Alarma() [Alarma] = IIf([Fecha de vencimiento] - 15 > Date(), " ", "Faltan menos de 15 d�as")
[code]....
It shows the following error -> Compilation error: External name not defined.
So, it's not reading the "Alarma" field... how do I define this field? It's inside a formulary, and Alarma is the title (I downloaded a template from the internet and changed the titles so I wouldn't have to do it from scratch...)
I am creating a program that requires the user to click a checkbox and then select a date in a Date Time Picker Control. There will be up to 20 entries. I need to know how to take all of the dates entered and display on a diffrent form the latest date selected by the user from all the entries on a form. All the options will be training selected and when the last training item is selected and a date entered I need to be able to output the training completion date wich will be the latest date entered in the form.
If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show. For example: There is a textbox and the user puts in their name as Bob. Then the message box would be: What my main goal is, is being able to include the users input they type inside the textbox inside the message box.
How to capture when a user switched application windows. Basically what i want to do is for example is when EVER a user works inside Microsoft Word i want the CAP lock to be turned on. When they leave Microsoft word's app window and select a new app the CAPS button would turn off. Then when they return back to Word caps turns back on. I have code I found in another post on how to turn CAPS on, now i just don't now how to automatically capture application switches running all the time. My idea is to create a small app that can be minimized to the system tray then let it run and capture all thE app changes.

My winforms application will display 100 different names, and I will need the user to enter a number 1 through 4 next toeach name.I will then store this data.I know I can use the spreadsheet control,but is there something much simpler that I can use? Maybe an array of textboxes or a datagrid?
What do you believe is the best way to have the program find the same row it created for a "Punch-In" for a single user. To clear this up what I have is a data table with the columns: Employee Num, Date, TimeIn, Timeout, Lunchout, Lunchin. And what I want it to do is when you first punch in, create a row for the specific user, then find that row later on and continue filling out what they do next. (make sense?) I don't have a ton of the sql + vb experience and I am having trouble figuring out a way to do this.
