Operate Movement Of Animated Image Using Sensors
Jun 22, 2009I was thinking is there anyway VB2005 can be done if I create an animation( car) such that its movement can me opearted using another external component(example a sensor).

Does somebody know where i can get Microsoft's status indicator bar animated image that has a progress bar on it that when it reaches the maximum it goes the other way round.
You can find a small version of it in :c:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7VS2005ImageLibraryVS2005ImageLibraryanimationsstatus_anim.gif and it is called
"Indeterminate status indicator bar".
I can't really figure out how to extract frames and what not from an animated image stored in a picturebox. I made a post earlier similar to this matter. But now I must ask how it is that you work with GetFrame and SetActiveFrame.

View 4 RepliesWell after coding a very basic image viewing application all seemed well. All animated .gif files played beautifully, all .png, .jpg, .bmp, etc, initiated well. However I've now, for some unkown reason, hit a snag. The animated .gif files still play, but they crash after a few seconds of play. Providing this error:

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use a VScrollbar and a HScrollbar control on a form to move an image around inside a picture box.This does not involve autoscroll.I am having no problem with the small arrow buttons at the ends of the scrollbars (which generate small increment/decrement ScrollEventTypes) or with clicking on the scrollbars (which generates a largeincrement or largedecrement ScrollEventType).However when I drag the scroll bar back and forth, it does not generate any activity even when I release the scroll bar.How do I enable draging the scroll bar to produce a parallel movement of the image.[code]
related but minor problem is that the scroll event seems to be triggered twice, once when I click on the scroll bar and once after the click event. the first call does not generate any change to the image because the scrollbar value has not yet been changed so it is not a huge problem but seems an unecessary loop to me. Anyway to avoid both handling of the event (pick a different event that is only handled when the scrollbar value is changed?). Why is the scroll event handled twice per mouse click?

I am writing an industrial control front-end that has some "fancy" graphics to indicate the states of some machinery. For example, I indicate that some heaters are on by showing red wavy arrows emanating out from a picture of a heater. I accomplished this by creating a class that inherits from PictureBox and using a timer to advance the images:
Public Class AnimatedPictureBox
Inherits PictureBox
Private WithEvents Timer As New Timers.Timer
Public Property Interval As Double
[Code] .....
My question is "Is this an alright way to go about this or is there some obvious better way?" I'm not too good at programming and am worried that having several of these objects with their embedded timers taxing the CPU. I went with animated GIFs for some other animation stuff, but here, I wanted to be able to handle image formats that can handle a larger palette than a GIF (if that makes sense). In other words, when I tried to save some of my animations as GIFs, the image quality took an unacceptable hit.
I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button.. Now where i click that button the other text boxes are filled up with the data from database thru web service.. what i want is while all text boxes are being filled i want to show an animated loading gif image till data loading is completed in all the text boxes.. i have tried to use image picture box but while data is loading gif image is displyes but in static mode.. cant see animation... i think this is because data loading and animation both are done thru one UI thread..

1 how to work a robot with vb ?
2 how do i recieve input from robot sensors ?
3 how do i send output commands to the robot ?
4 can you refer me to sources about the above ?
5 can vb interact with the software tobotbasic ?
6 is there a vb procedure for recieving text strings from another software that runs at the same time as a vb application ( like a revese getkeys()
7 can vb send commands to a robot via bluetooth if so how ?
how to incorporate a PIC with VB.
I`m trying to find out the steps needed to achieve that, i`m i correct?
1) i need to find a PIC that is suitable for my project (to handle wireless motion sensors)?
2) I need to write the code for the PIC? (does the manufacture of the PIC provides an environment to write the assembly language?)
3) Then i need to write the vb code?
4) Finally to use a serial port to create a communication between VB and PIC. Also are their any all ready made PIC`s that can support VB code direct without the need of writing the assembly code?
I just wanted to know if visual basic 6.0 or Visual Basic 2010 can be programmed to create a system that uses both smart card reader and sensors (photoelectric sensors) and be recorded their information into a information management database for date and time log.
Example:
1. A personnel will have to tag their smart card to the smart card reader. It will then be checked from the database and approved if their record is available in the database.
2. He will then have the access to enter and take a particular stuff from a rack (which has the sensor) guarding on each item on the rack. If the personnel take the item. It will then be logged into the database for the 1. personnel I.D, 2. item position on the rack, 3. time and date when the item is collected.
Question:
1. What hardware are needed to incorporate all this (smart card reader and sensors to database)? a controller perhaps? terminal for all the sensors?
2. What software to create the information management database so an authorized personnel may check the event history? also software to incorporate with the sensors? will it have to be on separate software or all can be done in the package given in VB6 or VB2010 or an additional software to be used?
3. Does MSComm Control have any relevance on this subject? All i know is what it does (vaguely) and no idea how to implement it.

If I typed in "Dim X as Integer" in a text box, I figured that I could just use If TextBox1.contains to make vb.net dim it. However, how would, if I typed "X = 3y * 9" in the text box, actually calculate that and print it in another text box?

View 1 RepliesI'm using a Microsoft Word form template to create objects in a form programatically, so depending on the information read by the program from the template.
So, I've got some fields where I store formula data for the form, in which I specify that the value for that field is obtained by multiplying other fields in the template. So I store in the string something like this:
"Text1.Text * Text2.Text"
So I need to convert these string values into variable calls to actually operate these values.
I'm writing a simple function to verify if a given user or group exists in my domain, here is the code:
Dim ctxDomain As New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain)
Dim upX As UserPrincipal

if I pass a user the function works well if I pass a group the function return always false, why?
I have an interface that i have declared some of the basic internal functions, subs, properties, etc. This interface is then implemented into 3 pre-defined classes. These classes are end-use classes so they dont get derived or inherited elsewhere. I am trying to create a generic shared class that can operate on each of these 3 predefined classes and potentially more as long as they implement the interface.

I have a program that I need to operate functions based off of hotkeys.One of the most important things I need to be able to do, is hit Escape at any time and end the program.Remember, the program form will not be up, it will be a number of any other applications, I need like a global hotkey or something.

View 9 RepliesFirst part of a huge block will contain some text. That block is not always visible. it will be visible when the user is inputing a control. It is drawn in a bitmap image which will later be a part of the final image of the form.The second part consist of several small bitmap images most probably will contain a letter. These images will not change but there position will keep changing by time. These images will be free to move even beneath the huge block (If visible).I used a timer with 1 sec. interval to redraw form, but when the block is visible it keeps flickering because the timer clear the form and redraw the block.
I tried to use different container for the block like the PictureBox but when the small image goes beneath the block it just disappear.The block color code is "Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Black)" I tried lower Alpha components and that didn't make any difference.My explanation is that the background of the picturebox is not transparent. If I'm right how to make the picture box transparent?
