I'm planning on creating a game on visual basic where the player goes through multiple levels to be able to clock the game, sort of like in the game 'Dooooooors'. How do I make a continue button where the players progress is already saved? What is the code? Would I be able to make it so that the gamer can only access the levels that they have completed, they can't play the unlocked levels yet.
View 2 RepliesWell I am trying to make a 2 player game but both players can't move at once unless they tap the keys (can't hold the key down or the other person can't move). How would I fix this as well as being able to go diagonally.Would this work?:Declare a bool value for each keypress below the public class thingy. Then use keyup to turn the bool off and keydown makes it go on. Then for the first player and second player I check if they are on and if they are than go to that direction...I think I would need a timer for that part but I dunno...

View 10 RepliesI have the following problem:
I've got 3 lines
If I click the "next" button
Line 1 shall be highlighted
Then I I click ""next" again
[Code].....
a for i = 1 to 3 to loop within the Button1_click makes i directly 3 of course so line 1 and 2 will not be highlighted.
I am not allowed to use a msgbox in between cause then it would be easy, cause I would wait until "OK" would be pressed...
How can I make this for i = 1 to 3 loop work and highlight the lines 1, 2 and 3, one by one after pressing the "Next" button?
I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it.

I have managed to automate the following page: https://post.craigslist.org/atl/S/msg/none/x and even click the "Continue" button, but I noticed that my vb 2008 program is creating an infinite loop and tries to click "Continue" buttons on following pages. I only want my program to click the continue button once, fill out more data on the next page and then click another continue button on a later page. But I need the following code to end on the first page before I can continue coding for the following pages so that the web browser doesn't go crazy.Here is the code that I am using and not sure if this is called an infinite loop, but that is what it seems to be doing:
theElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("button")
For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
If curElement.GetAttribute("value").Equals("Continue") Then[code].......
I have code that just runs and runs, and I'd like it to stop and take a rest. I want execution to wait for a mouse event and then continue. I can't just put the code to be executed after the event directly into the Click handler, because many different sections of code need to stop and wait for the event. I'd like the code to stop, wait for the Click event, then continue. I tried the test code below, but it pretty much hangs the program during the Do Until loop; I can't even press Button2. [Code]

This is what I have so far for the following scenario: I want to have it so that if a users clicks submit without checking a check box from one section it throws up a dialog box that makes the process loop and give them a chance to check a box. The process wont continue until at least one check box is checked. The same thing above goes for my radio buttons as well. Here's my code:

I'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.
Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?
It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.
I am looking to create simple application that means that when the 'Print Screen' button is pressed, the screenshot is not just sent to the clipboard but saved to the desktop in either JPEG or PNG format.The application will run at startup so that the 'new' print screen functionality is there but the interface of the app is opened manually.(the app interface includes simple options such as choose where file is saved.)
View 4 RepliesI have a datagridview with contacts on a form with clients. The underlying table for contacts has a field for Contactnumber. This is a identity column so its new number is generated by SQL Server.
I add a row and when I move to the next record on the form, the form �nd the information in the datagrid is saved to the database. So far, so good. The problem is: when I move back and try to delete that newly made row I get an error about concurrency.
It's logical actually, the record is saved, but the dataset of the datagrid doesn't yet know what the new contactnumber is. Apparently it's not information that it gets back automatically from SQL Server.
How can I make the dataset know the new identity of the row that is saved to the database? I use a simple da.Update(dsVerwijderingen, Tabelnaam) to save the changes to the database.
