Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""
It plays fine? the file paths are the same including the extra "" but it just refuses to play. I need the top one because i have many movies in a treeview.
Heres my code
Private Sub watchNow_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'get the position of the selected node
Dim i = movieTreeView.SelectedNode.Index

How can you make a play button play/stop toggle? Currently my button plays a file in WMP but when I click it again, it just restarts the file. I would like it to toggle on and off, play and stop, not play and pause.

I have a workbook from an external party (let's call it wb_Client for reference purposes) containing two embedded combo boxes. The combo boxes show up in the formula bar as =EMBED("Forms.ComboBox.1",""). It seems that these combo boxes have their own name because in the spot where you normally see the cell ID (e.g. B14), I now see names. Combo box 1 is called "cmb_Fruit", and the second combo box is called "cmb_Country". Both combo boxes have drop down lists. The first combo box has the choices "Apple", "Orange" and "Pear". The second combo box has the choices "UK", "US" and "France".
Normally, if I open wb_Client (simply by double clicking on the file) the values of the combo boxes are "Apple" and "UK" by default. Suppose that, for example, cell "B10" represents the unit price, and that this number is 0.80. Next, if I change the combo boxes to "Pear" and "US", cell "B10" updates to 0.50. And the 0.50 is what I am interested in.
I only need this process to be automated. Thus, using my own workbook and some coding, I need to open wb_Client, set the value in the drop down list of combo box 1 to "Pear" and in the drop down list of combo box 2 to "US". Maybe I need some code to update/calculate the worksheet, and then grab the value from cell "B10". So the main problem is how to set the value in the combo boxes. How do I do this?
I Have a lot of numerical interval, never overlayed and not necessarly contigous, like this: 1-10, 11-56,90-134. how can I determine if a given interval, for example 45-90 is completely external to the other intervals?
View 3 RepliesI am embedding an xsd file into my console program so I can use it to parse XML files into a datatable which I then will parse and process into a text file and into a database. I have embedded the file and can access it by going to My.Resources.LinerTester. This will return a string, but in order to use it on the Dataset.ReadXmlSchema method I have to convert it to an XSD, otherwise I get an error saying invalid characters. How can I take the embedded resource and convert it to an XSD file? I know the XSD file works fine, if I read it from a location on the hard drive it will process the XML files into a dataset just fine, so the file itself is valid.
View 5 RepliesI have a DLL of a VB 6 Project that has one class and a form. The form is called from that class when its constructor is called. I made a DLL from the project, add that DLL is in my .NET project references. Now when I call that class DLL it gives the following error:
Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {4E44E1A1-391D-4846-B733-2618249FE35A} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 800a0196.
Which means the form is not opening.

Is there any way to include an entire directory structure as an embedded resource? For example I have a file system folder with files and other folders inside of it. I need my application to recreate that directory structure and all files. If this can't be done, I suppose I could zip the entire directory tree and include the zip file as the embedded resource, but I would need to extract that zip file to the file system without 3rd party tools, and I have to use the .NET 2.0 Framework so I'm not sure unzipping capabilities exist.
View 4 RepliesI'm having problems running a swf file from a url.This is my code (Very Basic)
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub AxShockwaveFlash1_load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxShockwaveFlash1.Enter
Dim swfLocation As String = ("http://pinger.com/textfree/textFree_web.swf")
[code]....
As I said it's very basic at the moment. But I discovered by going to [URL] and look at the source that if I remove the flashvar tag I get the same result as i'm getting in my program. So I thought, hey I need to add flashvars to my script. I first tried it in the property window but that didn't work. The field stayed blank when I clicked away. Then i tried it by using code to set the flash var, still no luck.The goal is to embed this service into a program i'm developing so clients can send and, most importantly, receive text messages with a valid phone number.
this possible? if i use a resource in ym app to download it to a folder when running
