I am writing a program in VB express 2008 which I want to be able to receive input from an xbox controller as well as activate the rumble on the controller. I am using the XBCD drivers for the controller [URL].Basically I want to say "the further forward the thumbstick is pushed the more the controller should vibrate".
View 6 RepliesI have made a small program that reads the input of a joystick/GamePad and passes it on to a serial port. It works great I can see all the buttons pressed ect ( in a textbox). But When I minimize the form and press some buttons they are no longer passed on to the serial port and not shown into the textbox?
View 2 RepliesWhat I am trying to do now is design a program that will play 4 different sound files depending on the position of a joystick. I am not looking for any kind of gradient to be involved. Any kind of forward position should play the file associated with "forward". Any kind of left position should play the file associated with "left". And the same for "back" and "right".

View 3 RepliesI try to find the example for reading data from USB Joystick using VB2010 but I couldn't. .
I found some but all were VB6.0.
Do I need to install DirectX or which component should I use. I can read data from mouse and keyboard.
My objective is to, instead of entering in the data manually into the text boxes, I want to read in a textfile. The Calculate button will contain the code to read in the file and assign it to the appropriate textboxes. Save the separate file in the \bin\Debug folder.
The text file just needs to have 3 integers on 3 separate lines.The code I posted works without and errors, but.I am having some trouble integrating the Stream Reader.

1.25<A< 3.56
2.45<B< 9.87
I failed to read the equation using textbox. Is it there are other ways that can use to read equation input A+B?I am using VS2005 and VB.Net. I really new in this programming using VB.Net.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a program using Visual Basic that will allow the user to add links to web pages (such as www.google.ca) to a list in the program and make it so that they do not dissapear once the program is closed.
So to get into more detail, I have a text box, a listview, and a button. When the user types a link into the text box it needs to be put into an array (called "addlink") and then when the user presses the button, the link is typed into the listview as an object.
Then if the user clicks on that object in the listview, it will open up the browser using the WebBrowser command. How do I set the text in the textbox to an array once the button is clicked?
Specifications:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
Software: Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express

1) Is it possible to input text into a .dll and then read it with some similar code.
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "
eadme.dll")
For Each line As String In lines
Msg(line)
2) categorys inside a dll.
For example if the "line" string equals to car then find the category black and display it's contains. I would like the .dll to all contain this information. Both the car and the category. All i want is the main .exe to read the information.
Does anyone have an example of use of a joystick in VB .NET or know where to find one?
DirectInput or not...it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to use a USB joystick within my program. I don't care how I do it.
What i want to do it be able to read the input of a pin on the parrallel port. I want to supply a constant voltage to the pin and when that voltage drops i want to jump to another procedure.

View 3 RepliesWith my datagridview I have column for datetime. I used the following for format.
Mydatagrid1.Columns(3).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "dd/MM/yyyy"
But the problem is it's getting input like MM/dd/yyyy and after pressing enter it's changing to dd/mm/yyyy style. So is it possible to read input like "dd/MM/yyyy".
My problem is i want to input a fraction a textbox, and receive the value or allow the application to read "/",.

I'm working on a project where I have to send data to the serial port through a radio modem onto a servo controller. Everything works fine but since I use a timer to detect joystick changes (directX). Even if I don't touch the joystick, because of the timer it still sends data thru which is killing my battery on the receiver side.

How to access Joystick in VC++ 2005
View 1 RepliesWhen I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.
I am reading text from a file (*.TXT) 1 line at a time using streamreader. As I read that input, I am looking for specific starting and ending character strings ("<" and ">") . When I find those strings, I would like to select the characters between those string and have it set to BOLD and BLUE before appending that input line to the contents of a richtextbox.The only way I have found to do this is to first append the input line to the richtextbox then use the richtextbox.selection (color and font) methods to change the text.

I've been trolling for a long time now and have decided to register as I finally have some time to start jumping into VB. The last time I coded VB, the current version was VB 4. I've been out of programming for a good while now and considered myself a beginner (tutorial example coder haha).
My question is: Where is a good place to start learning VB.NET?
I know it's an often asked and answered question - but let me give you a bit more information so more specialized replies might be given.
I'm in INFOSEC/COMSEC and would like to (eventually) develop a program that contains a DB of information that is read by the application and saves input information into a DB (encrypted) as well. The program will be a 800-53 C&A control assessment program; used for tracking system compliance for federal information systems. I would like to be able to develop such a tool to make my life easier at work instead of using Excel spreadsheets to track everything.
I would like to learn:
- Input / Output methods and validation (for secure coding)
- Read/Write DB Encryption (RSA or other 128-bit) for user input information
- Ability to generate PDF reports from the primary keys and data sets from the above DB
My goal is to create a program that allows a user to install the program, setup a 'master' account that a serial/key has been generated for - that master account is then allowed to create new projects (progress saved in DB). A project asks the user certain questions pertaining to information systems and takes the input and saves it into the DB (encrypted). When the assessment is completed, I would like the program to be able to generate a PDF report from the DB (from a layout template I created).
I have a VB 6 SP6 application that uses DirectX 7 to interface to a USB joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).The application works under Windows XP Pro (32-bit).I've got Visual Studio and the application running under Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32-bit).
I've calibrated the joystick under Windows 7.The VB 6 application does not find any DirectX 7 joystick device to connect to.Otherwise, the VB 6 application works (GUI, embedded video, serial channel, Ethernet connections).The VB 6 application must be accessing the dx7vb.dll or it would crash.The joystick disc did not provide a driver.I installed the latest joystick Profiler vendor software from the Web.This is my first attempt to use Windows 7 as a platform.I'm not sure what to try from a Windows 7 perspective.
Is it possible to Intercept a Game's forcefeedback message wich was sent to a joystick? WM_???
I only need to intercept that message, nothing more.
i've read about hooking (wich is illegal??), but its very difficult, and i do not know the c++ language, but i know vb very well.
