Randomly Pick Images To Load Into Picturebox
Nov 16, 2009I'm working on creating a very simple dice game for class (not for gambling purposes). The users has already entered their total amount of money, and are are able to wager for every round. We were supplied with 6 different picture files to represent the 6 sides of the dice. It will be located in the C:\Temp folder, and after the user clicks a play button, the form (frmDice) will appear, which has two pictureboxes(pbDice1 & pbDice2) located on it.

VS 2005 Choose Randomly From User List?
May 18, 2010I'm relearning VB.net just for fun, so consider me new at this. I'm trying to write a program where the user can input a list of names or numbers, and the program will randomly pick one of those names or numbers. So far, I can get it to randomly generate numbers based on what I put in the code, but I don't know what I should use for the user to input the data, and how to code it so that the program will pick from that data.
View 3 RepliesChange The Background Randomly From A Selected List After A Certain Amount Of Time?
Jan 16, 2009I am trying to change the background randomly from a selected list after a certain amount of time. I have the array set-up and I have it picking a random path (ex c:images est.jpg). I found in the registry the background image settings. I tried setting the registry key to the path but it seems like there is more to it than that because it doesn't change it. I also saw where it stored the file and tried changing it but again it doesn't change it. The funny thing is if I go to display properties afterwards it shows the correct image just doesnt set it. If I then click a different image and go back to it then it sets it. How can I make it update the background?

Create An Application That Will Randomly Select 14 "stations" (strings) From A List Of 33?
Mar 3, 2012I am trying to create an application that will randomly select 14 "stations" (strings) from a list of 33. My thinking is that I have a for/next loop that randomly selects a number between 1,33 which is then inputted into an array (arrnumber) I then want those random numbers to then be used to call the Station name which is saved in the second array, and then for the selected stations to be populated into a listbox (potentially by storing those names selected in a new array?)
Various people have suggested either using a list (of t) instead of arrays, or a Dictionary(?) or perhaps even a database, though I am not all that confident with VB to be able to know where the best place to start with that is. So if anyone can offer any advice, pointers as to how I can link my 2 arrays (I am pretty sure I know how to make the array populate a listbox) I would be very much obliged.
Public Class Form1
Dim Stationid() As String = {"Cardiovascular Examination", "Respiratory Examination", "Abdominal Examination", "Abdominal Examination with Stoma", "Groin and External Genitalia Examination", "Cranial Nerves Examination", "Arm Examination", "Leg Examination", "Parkinson`s Examination", "Cerebellar Examination", "Speech Examination", "Hand Examination", "Elbow Examination", "Shoulder

Use .next (random Numbers) To Randomly Select Something From A List Of Numbers But It Can't Repeat The Number?
Aug 16, 2009So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer
dim r as new random
num = r.next(1,5)
if num = 1 then
elseif num = 2 then
etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open. It brought me inside of the folder so I tried to open the game but there is no form1 there. It says the games name then .exe in the explorer-like thing in the top right?Also, how would I have a value or something in a label and access it from a button.
Example:This is in a label.
Dim number as Integer
number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
How would I do something like that? I want to use that a lot as I did in a different language.

Can't Pick Horizontal Scroll Bar
Dec 9, 2011I'm using VB in Visual Studio 2010
When I resize my form at run time (border set to sizeable) .Net automatically adds scroll bars.
I can pick the vertical scroll bar ok but on the horizontal scroll bar it always shows the resize cursor and so I cannot pick it.
Is there some way of controlling the zone within which the resize cursor is active or the active width of the border detection?
