Button Click Event - Vibrate Windows Mobile Phone?

Sep 10, 2010

I have searched many forums, including this one, and can't get this to work. I am working in Visual Studio 2008, using Visual Basic. I want to create a Button Click Event that vibrates my phone. I have tried over 20 different code ideas and none of them are clean of errors when I build my project. All I want is a simple vibrate when I click a button, nothing dramatic in the lines of varying the vibration or anything like that. Here is my Button Click Event code, what do I put between there to make this work?

Private Sub btnMode1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMode1.Click
End Sub

Sql - CommandTimeout Seems To Have No Effect Queries Still Timing Out After 30 Seconds?

Sep 8, 2011

Our production database as grown to a size where several of our longer running stored procedures are taking more than the default 30 seconds to complete. I've programatically set some of the CommandTimeouts on the command objects but the calls to the store procedures still appear to be timing out after 30 seconds.

Here's what I did:

In web.config set this property

add key="CommandTimeOut" value="180"

Added this to the top of my class that needs the timeout set:

Dim COMMAND_TIMEOUT As Integer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CommandTimeOut")

After creating the command object set the timeout property on the object.

cmd.CommandTimeout = COMMAND_TIMEOUT

Unfortunately my stored procedures still seem to be timing out when they take longer than 30 seconds to execute.

Display Progress Similar To Debug.writeline On Windows Form?

Sep 28, 2011

I have a procedure that loops through the directories/subdirectories on a file server and sets the permissions. Procedure is called on a button click of a form.

I need to display on the form which directory is being processed. Similar to if we use the Debug.writeline which writes to the output in Visual Studio. I tried using a ListBox but it only displays the last one and only displays the last one once processing is done. I want to be able to display each directory name as it is being processed.

Psuedo code as follows:

For each dir in L drive

setPermissions(dir)
'display in ListBox dir name
lstProgress.Items.Add(dir.Name)
Next

TBPF_INDETERMINATE Status Has No Effect In .NET 2.0 On Windows 7 Taskbar?

Apr 15, 2011

I have a very weird problem. I have a VB.NET 2.0 application that takes advantage of Windows 7 taskbar button progress features, i.e. displaying certain progress and application state in the Win7 taskbar button.Everything works just fine - I can set and update progress, I can set the button to paused or ewrror state, I can set it to No progress. Everything works, except MARQUE (Indeterminate) mode. This is a total mistery, whenever I set state to TBPF_INDETERMINATE (value of 0x1), it simply changes back to NOPROGRESS type, i.e. it removes all progress inidcation from the taskbar button and sets it back to its default state - no animated marque is ever displayed!

I have read documentation on MSDN -[URL] tried various combinations like setting progress to 0 and then calling set state to indeterminate; or like setting it to normal first and then to indeterminate - nothing works. It's a total mistery - and there is no clue in the documentation as to why it is failing...

Here's the code:The API implementation:

<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
Public Structure RECT
Public left As Integer
Public top As Integer

VS 2010 Make An Opponent Move Randomly Without Jumping?

Mar 1, 2012

so my goal is to get a picturebox to move in random directions and smoothly (like a character moving straight in a game) without using thread.sleep and me.refresh (and also without animation atm). Would anyone be able to guide me on how to accomplish this?The reason I want to do this is because when I need to use like 3 threads to move 3 different things around smoothly my computer slows down too much.here's my code now without all the other subs used to place the random code in it's own thread. There's a lot of other code too so I can't really post the entire thing:

Private Sub random_movements(ByVal e As Integer, ByVal speed As Integer, ByVal ctrl As Control)
Dim location_x As Integer = ctrl.Location.X

I am in the making of creating a database desktop application using VB.NET. I want my UI to have similiarity the same as Microsoft Money. By this, now I want to make all my textbox to behave this way :

flat will have no border, or if it's still if the mouse hover on it, the border will get emphasized.That's all.I recognize that in TextButton, we have FlatAppearance, so we can tweak all Button to behave like this. But the same is not happened for TextField.

Make A Large Grid Of Buttons (24x20 Or Similar) Using Winforms?

May 7, 2012

I'm making a seat booking system in vb.net (WinForms) and I need the user to be able to select the seat they wish to use and for it to change colour (so they can tell that it selected).

I began to try using buttons, but 480 buttons seriously slowed down the load time for the form. I then tried a data grid view with buttons in the rows/columns, but couldnt make that work properly.

Would it be worth trying to use 480 picture boxes and change their background colour? Or would that just slow the form down the same way as 480 buttons?
