how I could have an object bounce back when it collides with an rectangle shape. There are multiple rectangle shapes and I don't want to do it all seperately for each one.
View 1 RepliesI am making a lunar lander game that randomizes the terrain for each new game, so each game is different. For my game, I am creating a graphics object that draws a closed curve for the terrain of the game. I am trying to then detect if a picture object collides with the graphics object.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI hope the question makes sense, anyways. I'm looking to know if in VB.NET, when we call an object's constructor, is there some kind of a reference that points back to the caller? I'm interested because of a corner case where I want the object being created to first be able to validate the existence of some data in the caller before it allows itself to be created. If this validation fails, I plan on throwing an exception. This corner case will never happen at runtime unless the object being created is used improperly by a programmer. The object being created is not inheriting the object I want it to validate, so I can't do anything with the MyBase qualifier.
It's bit of a "future-proofing" issue that I have a (bad) habit of doing. Not critical -- I can always leave stern comments behind as a last resort. Wanted to know if this was possible.
I am working on a program that has bubbles being generated at the bottom of a panel and rising to the top I have all of that worked out but am having trouble figuring out how to detect when a bubble collides with another bubble and then seperating these two bubbles.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to create some custom shapes for MS Office which we can use in house.
For example I want to create a shape named "carton box" which have three - four default places where user can add some text. It is same as other shapes or I would say just like shapes (line, flowchart, arrow etc) in MS office 2007.
Is there any way to create and reuse such a new objects, also if user don't have these shape in their toolbox and get a document which includes these shapes; he should be able to see it (defiantly in read only).
Background - I am a .NET developer and also having small knowedge of MS office development in .NET.
In VB.NET, say I have a function Public Function Foo(ByVal currentShape as Shape) Instead up passing in a Shape object, I pass in a subclass of Shape called Square like such: Dim square As Square = new Square() Foo(square). Do I need to convert my Square object to a Shape object before passing it in? If so, how do I do this?
View 4 Replies1. I have created a moving object (which is a button) in a form (rectangle box) called "Enjoy Button" and it moves when
2. A specific button named "Start Timer" is pressed...When the "Start Timer" button is pressed,
3. The "xTimer" event is called and the button moves in a rectangle box and bounces of the walls...=animation
4. However, i need to write a For..Next Loop in the
5. "For Next " Button= a button named for next
6. And also put a counter in the loop to control the animation time..
7. The loop should stop at a certain time, and the object too should stop at that time,at a new location
This is what I have so far
Private Sub ForNextButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xForNextButton.Click, xTimer.Tick
Dim MyTime As Integer = 5
Counter = 1000
For Counter = 0 To 1000
xTimer.Enabled = MyTime * 1
' Move the button for a set amount of time
' Exit the loop
Next
How can I constrain the bounds of a rectangle object, which is controlled by a mouse, so it cannot be drawn outside a PictureBox? It is kindof a standard lasso control, the user can click and drag and it will draw a box from the initial click point to the mouse's current location. The starting point is at (rectX,rectY), and the box is drawn to the bottom right using rectDimX and rectDimY (to set the width and height) to see how much of a change has occurred with the mouse. Basically, its what you get with a click and drag on a Windows desktop. The issue here is that the rectangle is able to be drawn outside the PictureBox it is being drawn on, and the next part of the code attempts to reference this location, and then fails with an OutOfMemory exception. This leads me to my second question:

I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?
I'm using e.graphics in the Me.Paint event to draw a string in the form. There is a rectangle shape with gradient in the form, and the string is supposed to be drawn on top of the rectangle shape. However, when I run the program, the string is drawn under the rectangle shape, and is therefore invisible... How do I fix this?

I have a need for a button to take the user back to their previous page.Because of how this page is accessed, the only way to do this is with javascript using history.back()
This part works perfectly apart from the fact when a user goes to click a button on the page they have gone to back to, I get the error that Request.QueryString is not supported in this context.I'm guessing the Request object is lost when javascript is directing the user to the previous page.I cannot use Request.UrlReffer either because the the nature of the back button. (it causes a loop at times).
