I've got a project that generates a sql query and returns the results. I want to place a time/counter on the form that shows how long it takes to return the query from the server. Basically to count up in seconds from 0 while that sub is executing. Would threading be the best way to do this or is there another way that I'm missing?

I have recently started creating a basic game however i am having some trouble creating a time counter. Basically what i want is a counter which is a label displaying say "05:00" as in five minutes. Then when the level is started i want it to count down to zero and make my game over label visible.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently writing a countdown timer on vb 2005, with the following characteristics: When I press a button and the timer is running, it adds time to the counter, for example, if the time is 2:30 and I press a button, and the period to add is 1:10, the new time would be 4:40. The window is always on top of every other window, and is active even though it doesn't have focus. When the time's up and i press a key, in this case Esc, the application closes, otherwise, it just continues. [Code]

On one particular page of the website, there are 21 questions each with a scale of 1-5 where the user selects one radio button for each question in the table. The survey is being coded in VB.NET. The data submits to an SQL database. All the radio buttons are similarly named, so only the number changes for the question [Code]

View 2 RepliesI am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time. I was thinking about bubble sort through an array, but since I am determining lowest to highest based on numbers = runner it just sounds more confusing. The code to determine second is not that efficient, I know there is an easier way. That is the part where I am stuck.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to complete a time program for a class that I am currently taking in which it's supposed to utilize a Tick Method. Essentially, the Tick should be incrementing the time by one second. The problem is that I don't know where to place it. The book I have doesn't go much into this, just the code. I have also placed the timer in the Designer, set enable to True and set the interval to 1000 milliseconds. This is the code I found for the Tick Method

how to write a program to get the Sunrise & sunset Times?
I know only VB 2005 or 2008.
The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.

How do I get my form to display a simple digital counter? I have a "record" function on my program:
Private Sub Button13_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button13.Click
mciSendString("open new Type waveaudio Alias recsound", "", 0, 0)
mciSendString("record recsound", "", 0, 0)
End Sub
I want to have a simple digital counter display while the program is recording. That way the user can know how long the audio is so far while recording. Then when the user is done recording, the timer will stop.
I would like to know how I can read a number from a text file then multiply that figure by one and write that back to the original text file, I'm trying to make a counter to keep track of how many times my forms are executed.

I looked at "How do I place an image with a mouse-click in Javascript?" but it had a small snippet of Java; immensely larger than my knowledge of Java. And that is the closest I've come to finding an answer in the past week. Here's what I would like to do (don't know if its even possible):
I have a panel and a toolstrip with 3 buttons. Each button represents a different image. I want to click on a button (once) and then move into the panel and everytime I click the mouse button it drops the image where ever I clicked. This only ends when either I click back on the same button or one of the other buttons. I do not want to drag an image into the panel each time. In other words the button stays depressed and the event/action stays active.
I have this code sample from a book I'm reading which looks to be incorrect:
Imports System.Diagnostics
Sub Main
Dim pc As New PerformanceCounter("PerfApp", "Clicks", False) 'excepiton here
pc.Increment()
counterLabel.Content = pc.NextValue().ToString()
End Sub
There excepion message I get is: The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly. I looked for a property to see if I can set it but couldn't find one.
Most of my experience in Visual Basic programming is in VBA. I'm currently trying to build a VB.NET Windows application that basically consists of a form that has one button and one label. When the button is clicked, the label should serve as a "counter" that counts from 0 to infinity until the user closes the window with the "x" button. I do this by putting a loop with a sleep statement in the onclick sub. The loop iterates the integer that is displayed in the label and does a "Me.Refresh".The problem is when the window loses focus. When it loses focus (when I click off of it), the counter stops. Even when I click back on it, the counter doesn't resume.
View 19 RepliesI have been trying to place a form inside a panel. This has been achieved by[code]...
In the IterationForm, I have values being calculated and displayed as and when an operation is being performed.
In the panel it shows only the blank form. I need to have those values displayed as well.
I have tried using MDI parent with my menustrip1, same thing, that is the form being displayed without the values.
I posted this in the "Reporting" section someone knows of some event that takes place AFTER a CR is completely done loading. Here is what I posted in the "Reporting" section.
I have multiple forms where I use a background worker to perform my code while my main thread displays a "Please Wait" dialog box. I have tried to do this same thing with my crystal reports but it gets through all of the code and closes my "Please Wait" box then opens the report viewer. The problem is, the report continues to load after that point but its through with my portion of the code. I assume the CR itself is retrieving information. How can I display something letting people know that it is working. I tried using the "UseWaitCursor" property of the ReportViewer but it shows the WaitCursor all the time if I do that.

The Splash Form opens and closes fine, but no controls (a text box and a graphic, on a panel) appear on the form. I knew I was probably missing something (this was far easier than anything I found searching), but at least the form opens and closes. The app actually starts with a SubMain, which is only used to control how it opens with it's registered file type.
I have a small non mdi form with only 3 controls. The user can select a name of an animal on a listbox and a thumbnail picture of it is shown on the picturebox. There is also a tton.The tooltip on the thumbnail is quite important as left/right click do different actions but for some reason the tooltip will not display unless the user clicks the form.
