I can't make it < because thats not logical, can't make it = becasue that doesn't work, can't make it > becasue then it will only bounce back once. Is there another variable I could use?
i was wondering how to make subs and functions run simultaneously. For example, if i make a box move from the top to the bottom with a sub called move(byval e as label)
which takes say 3 seconds to move from top to bottom and i have
move(lblfirst)
thread.sleep(500)
move(lblsecond)
how would i make it so that it moves 500 miliseconds after the first one start to move, not 500 milliseconds after the first one finishes?
I tried application.doevents with a looped sleep and raiseevnet, none is working.
Have attached the code so far and would like to be able to rotate my car sprite through 360 degrees and have it move in diagonal fashion.
View 19 RepliesI was wondering on how i can make multiple global hotkeys and have them show message boxes just so i can learn and expand from there. Like have one be ctrl + alt + F1 and the other be ctrl + alt + F2.
View 1 RepliesI used different backgroundworkers to instantiate some 'heavy' forms thinking that it will reduce the time to instantiate them if I did them at once but it looks like I am wrong since it is still taking about 43 seconds to load all of them. Am I missing something or do you have a tip on how I can speed up their instantiation?
View 15 RepliesNot wanting to hijack 45minutes thread, I thought I might spawn a thread of my own based on his question.
PlausiblyDamp was kind enough to provide some generic code, which I have modified and attached.
I have made a few alterations mostly around removing random objects, as the game in question (Space Invaders) has a set amount of aliens and set starting positions.
As a start I have limited the UpdatedPostion to horizontal movement as the aliens only go side to side unless they hit an edge.[code]...
I am creating a GUI that monitors the entered application and if the application crashes the GUI starts the application back up. Problem is to run this application (WoW Private Server) I need 3 running applications. Is there a way to shell and wait 3 applications all at once. OR if i was to create a separate console application who's only job was to start the three applications at once how would I pass the application variable?

We are looking to design a security application that does the following on laptops:If the ethernet adapter is used (cable plugged in) disable/block all other network connections (wireless WIFI, mobile broadband (PPP), virtual VPN adapters etc)When ethernet adapter is not being used again, all connections allowed.We have looked in the WMI a lot but there are no good ways of doing this. Only disabling the network connection is not secure enough because most mobile broadband applications try to re-establish the connection. This should be an application that works on all laptop vendors without any user interaction (such as choosing interfaces etc..).
View 3 RepliesI'd like to allow the user to select up to an entire column of cells and type and/or paste a single value that would then change the value of all the selected cells in the DataGridView to the value that was typed or pasted. I understand this is probably two separate answers, but perhaps if there is a way to set the contents of the clipboard with the value typed, I was thinking it may work well to identify both things I want to do.

I have been using the My.Computer.Audio.Play method for sounds in my program for a very long time, but now I have reached a point where the program needs to be able to play more than one sound at a time. What is the best (and preferably simplest) way to do this?
View 8 RepliesI want to play multiple sounds simultaneously from My.Resources in Visual Basic 2010. I have tried:My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.SoundName, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have also tried using multiple Windows Media Player controls, but that also didn't work.The first sound is cut off when the next sound plays.When searching around the internet I found people suggesting using 'DirectSound', but there are only tutorials for DirectSound in VB 6.0.

I'm writing a program which gets the time and date from forums which only show "x hours ago" on the main thread list.What I do is get a list of threads, open their print version and fetch the info.I'm currently using a single webbrowser, because there's no control array anymore. This makes the proccess very slow.Is there a way to open all the threads' print versions simultaneously?(BTW, I'm using DOM functions like GetElementsByTag, so I'll need to get the page's "Document" object.)
View 8 RepliesI have three listboxes with vertical scroll bars. I'd like it so that when one is scrolled, so are the others. However, I can't seem to find a "scroll" event. I tried this:
vb.net
Public Scrolling As Boolean
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDown

It works when you click and drag on the listbox area where the items are, but not when you click on the scroll bar!
Consider I have a shared function:Public Shared Function CalculateAreaFromRadius(ByVal radius As Double) As Double
[Code]...
If I have two or more threads in the same vb .net app and each of them calls the shared function at the same time with different RADIUS, will they each get their own AREA? I want to know for each call to the function if it is using same local variables or each call creates new instances of local variables?Will the answers to above questions be same If I have multiple (2+) single threaded apps and they all call the function at the same time with different RADIUS value?
Using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008, I have created a Windows form with multiple tabs and questions. Each question has an associated drop-down listbox that the user will eventually click on to enter his or her response. My client has now informed me that she wants to change the standard responses in each response box. There are well over 100 drop-down listboxes, all with the same items, and they all must be changed.
I originally inputted the items using design view. Would someone please tell me if it's possible to edit all of these boxes in the design view simultaneously? When I control + click on more than one box, the Edit Items option that is normally available disappears. Is there a way to do it in code in a manner that would save back into design view?
I've created a two-worksheet template in Excel - the first sheet is for pretty charts, and the other sheet is for the data that drives those charts. I've written a vb.net 2005 app that can dump in all my data on the second worksheet, and the chart worksheet updates perfectly.I would like to do this report several times over in the same workbook. (So the tabs would read 'Person1 - Chart', 'Person1 - Data', 'Person2 - Chart', 'Person2 - Data', etc.)
My solution was to, for every person this report was going to be run for, copy the chart template, and then copy the data template. The problem is that every chart template that is created points to the original data worksheet. How can I set what worksheet each chart worksheet is pointing at?
I have two unrelated databases and I need to pass data back and forth between them.

View 1 RepliesI have to make a bouncing ball game application. all the code is given to me except for code to move the paddle left and right, and code to start the game. i have to write an if...then statement in a keydown event handler that tests whether the user presses the s key. i then have to add an elseif statement that tests whether the user pressed the left-arrow key and whether the paddle's horizontal position (rectangleX) is greater than zero. if the paddle's horizontal position equals zero, the left edge of the paddle is touching the left wall and the paddle should not be allowed to move farther to the left( i am not sure how to do this part). if the conditions are true in the if then statement, the paddle's x-position should decrease by 10. then i need an elseif statement that tests whether the right arrow key is pressed and whether the paddles x-coord is less than the width of the form minus the width of the paddle. if it equals out the paddle should not be allowed to move farther right. if both conditions are true the paddles x-coordinate is increased by 10

Option

When I run or debug the code, it asks for the First Number and then just completes the running of the program without asking for the second number and uses some random number. The console.readline() doesn't work either, the console window just disappears.
So i am working on a GUI for a game (just some messing around in VB.net tho) and i came across the following problem. The board of my game consists of a 70*35 grid of RectangleShapes on which i can move around. When i start my program it renders the board from right to left on the screen and i have serious lag when i try to move around on it. I know you'd normally use double buffering to reduce flickering, but that didn't do anything (unless i'm doing it wrong).
This is my code:
Code:
Dim player As Player = New Player
Dim board(70, 35) As RectangleShape
#Region "Initialisation"

I am creating a game which has a simple score system which I don't understand why it isn't working the way I want it to. When loading the game the User starts with 10 credits and for every time they run the game it costs 2 credits
This is my code for this below
Dim intCredits As Integer = 10
Dim intGamesPlayed As Integer = 0
intGamesPlayed += 1
intCredits = intCredits - 2
It has no errors but it doesn't take away the credits each time the game is played besides the first time. So when I run the game it will go to 8 credits, and it will stay on 8 credits even if I run the game again.

I am creating a points system for a game, this is the code I have but it isn't working as I want it to.
Dim intScore As Integer = 10

The user will start will a score of 10, but everytime they click the button the user should lose 2 points off the score. But my code above that doesn't happen, when the user clicks the button it only happens once leaving the user with 8 points throughout the game.
