Getting Keys To Control Movement Properly (VB2008)?
Feb 11, 2010
I'm working on a game for school, and having a bit of trouble getting keys to control movement properly. When I press down the correspondant arrow key to move the picturebox, it moves the picturebox once, then stops, waits, and then starts moving again continuously (like when you hold down a key in a word processor and it stalls for a bit before repeating the character).the code I'm currently using to move the picturebox is (moving it left as an example)
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then
Dim x, y, x2 As Integer
[code]....
how to remove the delay and head straight into the consistant movement?

I had a post about how to disable monitors, but someone suggested just making it not possible to leave the primary screen. This was obviously a good suggestion, but im not sure how i would accomplish this.
I need to prevent the user from entering the ctrl, alt, delete, escape, and windows key. I also need to prevent the mouse from leaving the primary screen.
My program is a security login system. It requires a username and password to close, and i want to make sure that it cannot close unless the user supplies the correct username and password.

I'm writing some VB2008 code to control four 7-seg LEDs I bought from Velleman. They came with some example code in VB 5.0, and with instructions telling me to input 5 bytes at a time in the format Chr$() & Chr$() & etc. for the rest of the 5 bytes. When I try to do this using VB2008, it rejects the $ sign, so I've tried it using the Chr() format, which VB2008 allows. However, it doesn't work. Is Chr() the new version of Chr$() or are they different entities? In sending data to the LEDs, I'm using LiveComPort.WriteLine() as my command. (My serial port is called LiveComPort) I also tried it with LiveComPort.Write() asthe command. I know that my serial port and the LEDs are working, because they respond to the demo program provided by Velleman.

I have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.

I got this timer tick function: Private Sub controlTick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Label2.Text = (Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Control) End Sub
That is supposed to make my label say "True" if I am currently holding down the Control key, and "False" if I am not.But, how come my label is always "False"? What is interesting is that if I press the Control key at lighting speed a bunch of times I can see for a fraction of a second "True", but immediately turns to "False".
Timer ticks every 50ms.

I'm making my own winforms button, mainly to be able to control more aspects of a regular button. So far, I've figured out how to control the looks of the button properly, but now I need to implement the changes I've made. I can draw what I have so far, but it flickers even with double buffering...
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal pevent As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint(pevent)

So far I just want to get my gloss working.I'd also like to know how to control some of the more tedious properties of a button, such as corner radius and how I can make the flatstyle of the button "Flat" all the time without the option to change it (this is so that I don't have to worry about borders and stuff).

I wrote a program for a stopclock with button control. The button control is to start and stop the clock. How can I use the arrow keys, instead of the mouse click on the button, to start stop the stopclock.

It only recognizes that a control key is pressed. How do you use LControlKey or RControlKey?
Code:

I was just wondering today if it's possible to get an IE8 browser control for use in VB2008? I noticed that on one of my systems (running vista) that I only have the IE6 webbrowser control, but on my Windows 7 computer, I have the IE7 control? Can anyone explain this and tell me where to get the IE8 webbroser control?

I want to control the "My Cafe Pro" application using vb2008 as the front-end. The main function of "My Cafe Pro" is a time logger. The server can control all the clients connected to it (e.g shutdown). I want to control "My Cafe Pro" that even i don't actually open it. For example, i want to create a time code using the vb2008 program, i only click one button and bang!, the code was created on the "My Cafe Pro" application.

I'm trying to control him using the arrow keys.
I've already tryed using the case key event handler, but I must be using it the wrong way, because VB 2008 express (what I'm using) produces a bunch of errors("Type expected" as well as it won't work). This is what I've tryed:
Private Sub GameField_KeyDown(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
Select Case E.KeyCode

If a tab is highlighted and you hit the left/right arrow key, it goes to the previous/next tab. I want to remove this functionality. I only want the user to be able to change tabs with the mouse click.

Super newbie here and I recently signed up just to address my problem. Please help me convert or at least tell me what to do on the following code to my vb2008.I saw this listing on a website and I like its simplicity. It was written in vb6.
here's the snippet:Design the form. Create a Command Button named as Command1 and copy that and paste it 11 times. This will create a control array.Then assign the text naming it 0-9 plus (.)dot and they are under one control array. Likewise create cmdOperator control array for the operators Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide. One button for equals and one for clear. All in all 17 buttons. 1 textbox serves as input and output.
Sorry if I'm in a rush here( I am already) but vb2008 its hard for me to learn control array. I have read a few post awhile here dealing with arrays in vb2008 but I'm overwhelmed with info and confusing for me to grasp the idea.

I am trying to created a simple media player program. I have a Windows Media Player control on a form (renamed it wmp1) and a listbox that creates a list of filenames from a given folder location.When i click on a filename from the listbox, i set the wmp1.url to the filename in the listbox and all is good as the wmp1 control automatically plays the file chosen form the listbox.

I am trying some Uiculture change functionality. In that I need the name and text of controls in a form to change the culture. I got some Demo project and it is in C#. I tried to make the same functionality with the C#.net and Also using VB.net. But the below mentioned code returns control name with an underscore as prefix. But I don't want underscore. Code is actually written in Class library. It works perfectly in C#.
Code is written below
Dim fields As FieldInfo() = form.[GetType]().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly Or BindingFlags.NonPublic)

I am looking for a code snippet which opens a image, creates a clone of this bitmap in memory disposes this opened image so that all handles are closed.
Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation)
Using Block also doesnt work.

I have created my own web browser by dragging the web browser control into a form using Visual Basic 2008 in order to host my ASP.Net pages. However, it is a requirement of the project I am working that users should not be able to use hot keys, especially print screen, ctrl P, ctrl C, and ctrl V. There are no other controls on my form, so how can stop users using these keys, but only in this browser? Further, my asp.net page uses an iframe tag to show a word document, and again, I need to stop them from copying and pasting from the word document into another word document through the browser. Can I stop them in my browser in app stack?

so I've begun developing another little rpg like game w/ visual studio 2010. I'm trying to have the arrow keys control a little square in the form but I've searched all over the internet and haven't found too much useful info. So first thing's first, how can i make a key perform an action, and then, if you know how, what code do i use to make it move the square on the form.
