Say I have a string like this:
"Hi My Name is {Robert|John|Wayne} and I like the color {blue|green|yellow}"
How do I select a random word in {Robert|John|Wayne} and {blue|green|yellow}?
I've got a simple little bit of code, to fill 33 Picture boxes with red, green, yellow, blue or system.control randomly. (System.Control should be more likely). Here is what I have at the moment:
[Code]...
Using VS 2008 vb.net how can I change the color from green to yellow to red as my values decrease? Actually the logic is easy but my color isn't changing.
progressbar1.forecolor = color.red -- This is not working
I have three HScrollBars(for the colors red, green, blue and maximum to 255), a picturebox(to see the output color) and a textbox which gives the color in HTML output. For example: 0xE60000FF >> This is a red color.I know I first should make a code and paste it here, but I really don't have any idea how.

View 4 RepliesI would like to load a GIF file, and start with the first pixel and check to see if that pixel color is closer to Black, Red, Green or Yellow, then take what ever color it closest matched to and output that color as a number, 0, 1, 2 or 3. So just for a small example a 5x4 GIF would be converted to something like this: 0112223322220111332?

View 3 RepliesI want to make a random word generator. Like just the words that I type in the script though. Could anyone please give me the code?
It would just be a simple word that appears in a text box. But in the script it puts one of the random words i tell it to every time you click the button. I know lua 5.1 scripting a little. I'm only 13 though. So as you can imagine I'm no mastermind at code.
button1 function onclick
print word.math;random(word1,word2,word3,etc)
My current task that I am working on is a word generator. I want my program to generate words that I have selected such as mammal, amphibian, arachnid, insect. Random generates or puts one of those words in a text box in my VB program. I can only find code that generates the strings such as a single letter but not words.

How is it best to do this?
So what I'm trying to do is not so much generate a random word but pick one from a collection. I was thinking on generating a random number since that is very easy, then picking a word acording to the number generated. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

I just want to select 1 random record from my database for example in my table1 i have a,b,c,d,e,f,g then everytime i click the button in my program it will output randomly between a to g then i can add another record from my database and if I make it a to x it will randomly choose between a to x, the random doesnt have any conditions.
Right now i've found some codes that will be very useful but i cant modify it so it will be connected to my database.

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a program that will randomly select a loadout(weapon, perks, etc), but the user enters their current level to get the loadout. This is important because certain guns unlock at certain levels, so i don't want someone getting something they can't use.
I'm not sure what the best way of approaching this is. All i can think of is either getting a random item, checking if the user's level is high enough then if it's not high enough do it again.

View 1 RepliesI need to have two pieces of software, made in vb where one encrypts the contents of a .txt file, and the other decrypts it, and then picks one word at random and displays it each time a button is pressed, but never displays the same word. Or, if there was a way to hard code it into the program as there is only 5 words that would be better.

If I have say 5 numbers: 1, 29, 53, 95, 103 What would be the VB.net code for randomly selecting a number of those 5.
i.e) The random number has to be 1, 29, 53, 95, or 103 and has to be randomly generated.
I've tried using the Int(Rnd() * 104), but I do not know how to make it choose only these 5 numbers!
