View 5 RepliesThe current application that I'm working on requires showing the album artwork of the current song playing in iTunes. I have the itunes reference and all of that. I can control iTunes fine. But I can't seem to find a way to display the album artwork of the current song play.
View 30 RepliesI are trying to write a small program for iTunes using Windows COM. We are able to talk to iTunes and create popup boxes that show the current track, and a few other small things. However, when we try to set this info to a Label for example, we get:
InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Label1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
The program then hangs and locks iTunes from closing. I believe the issue is the event handler I have created, which I know very little about. We are using VB 2010, so that may change some things. We followed a rough example from a forum post HERE. If you scroll down the orange text, you will see a reply right after by Will Hughes with a "Handles iTunes.OnPlayEvent". If I add this to the end of my event handler, I get:
Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. Not sure if its important to the issue or not, but I found it curious. Our code is shown below.

I'm using the iTunes library control to figure out the current song playing in my iTunes, but theres 1 annoying thing... everytime I load my program it now automatically starts iTunes. Is there a way to use the control and not have it launch iTunes with my program? Or a better way of getting the current iTunes song without using the iTunes control?
View 3 RepliesI use this connection:
Dim connetionString As String
Dim cnn As SqlConnection
connetionString = "Data Source='" & txtHost.Text & "';Initial Catalog='" & txtDatabase.Text & "';User ID='" & txtUser.Text & "';Password='" & txtSenha.Text & "'"
cnn = New SqlConnection(connetionString)
cnn.Open()
cnn.Close()
How I read to SQL using "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY rand()", select a random column and send the value "User" and "Password" of this column to Label1 and Label2.
I want my code to do something that will require a bit of time. I want to be able to send an update to a label regarding the progress of the process during the length of the process, so that the user will know how far the progress has gone. Unfortunately, the label is only updated at the end of the process. I try to simulate it with a simple code below, where the label should be updated from 1 to 10, but it is only updated at 10, rather than 1, then 2, etc until 10. It does not help to show only the end!

The coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware or something stupid. So the project I am doing is associated with iTunes. iTunes allows people to have one library. There is another way, but it is very confusing to some people, and very unreliable. So my project is that I will allow people to have multiple iTunes libraries on one computer. So the problem is this. In order to have an option to choose your library, I gotta make sure that iTunes is not running. So this is the script:
Code:
Private Sub CheckAndCloseiTunes()
retry:
'Custom class that includes the function to safely close iTunes
[CODE]...
So when I use the Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) code, the form becomes unresponsive.
Have a label on a form which I want to show run time status, and have a code module which stores some functions. How do I send text from code module functions to this label on form?

I was wondering if there is an easy way to analyse sound that is sent to the speakers (just before it's played). For example when playing a song in winamp or windows media player. Or is it easier to write plugins for those programs to form an interface with your own program?
View 2 RepliesAnyone played with LinearGradientBrush? I'm using it to plot some chunky text with a gradient fill on a picturebox . Say I want the text to be full yellow at the top (255,255,0) and full red at the bottom (255,0,0). What I get is a light orange shade at the top of the letters and a dark orange at the bottom. I never get the full range of shades. I would prefer to have say 10% at the top of each letter plotted with the full starting colour, then the gradient, followed by the bottom 10% plotted with the ending colour. I hope that makes sense. Obviously I'm using MeasureString to get the height of the text and I've played with making that value larger and smaller but it didn't seem to help.I have seen references to SetBlend Triangular Shape and WrapMode which look interesting, but no examples of how these would produce the effect I'm looking for.
View 7 Repliesi make a simple winform application with AxWindowsMediaPlayer and timer.
My objective is about to make the application play the clip with interval (that's why i use timer)
When AxWindowsMediaPlayer finish playing the first clip, everything's okay. But when it begin playing the next clip. It CAN'T HAVE FULLSCREEN MODE. I have to double click the control manually to have it fullscreen. I use vb 2005 in 7 ultimate.
Here is my code

I need to adjust the volume of this audio clip to make it blend with other system sounds (also played from My.Resources). I've tried looking this up in the help screens and found nothing. Is it possible to do?

I have mp3 database (access). I want to filter table and show 100 most played songs. There is a field "PlayCount" which is increased every time the song is played. I know how to use TOP clause, but there is a problem when I want to sort results in descending order by "PlayCount" .here is the sql query:
SELECT TOP 100 * FROM Database ORDER BY PlayCount DESC this query returns 120 results. If I use "TOP 200" it will return 278 results. But everything works fine if I use ORDER BY Filename.
I am using the WindowsMediaPlayer. I disabled the Controls , and created my own. I want to use a Trackbar to slide throug the media being played.This works, for moving

LenOfVideo = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.duration
TrackBar2.Maximum = LenOfVideo

But i need the trackbar to track of the position of the video while playing.It stands still now. I need it to be updated.

im working on a little app for my self, to make my life a little more convenient. I have some media keys on my laptop, and I would like to use them with itunes while it is minimized. I found a app that did it for me a long time ago, but cant seem to find it now. But I would like to try my hand at my own, and I've managed to do so, but, my app has to be in focus for it to work. is there any way to still detect when these media keys are pressed while my app is out of focus?
View 9 RepliesI want to make a program that detects the note that is being played in front of the microphone. I am testing the FFT function of Naudio, but with the tests that I did in audacity it seems that FFT does not detect the pitch correctly. I played an C5, but the highest pick was at E7.I changed the first dropdown box in the frequency analysis window to "enchanced autocorrelation" and after that the highest pick was at C5.
View 3 RepliesI have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

View 2 RepliesI was just thinking if there is any component which monitors sound output. My intention is to recognize a particular sound coming out from my soundcard. I know its an issue about the driver of my sound card but is there a way I can get atleast noise level coming out of my speakers and maybe draw a graph and detect the peak at when the sound is played?
View 7 RepliesI need to get a button to enter the applications subfolder and randomly select 1 file to be played in the windows media player COM which i have put in the form. I have tried creating a shuffling playlist but i cant get it to stop after one file is played (it just goes on shuffeling to another file, and i really do not want a playlist). I manage to create a batch file to be started to randomly pick a file in that folder, but when i do this the file is being played in the systems default player..
View 2 RepliesIm trying to capture the audio played on my laptop. so i have searched the internet and found a source code for doing exactly that. the problem i have is that my audio device is not listed in the dropdown box (see picture) but it does when its run on windows xp (im running windows 7 x64) the goal of this application would be to capture my friends radio stream and save the individual played mp3's to a loction on my hard drive.(yes i have permission) i have included the source code so perhaps some 1 could have a look at it.

View 2 RepliesSo I'd like to have it so that on the form load it plays and animated gif, then after that gif is done it hides and then shows a different picturebox. How would I be able to do this?

If ui1Textbox.Text.ToUpper = "FOOD" Then[code]....
I finally finished all my labels and textbox codes for this button.But now I have to code it so that I will be able to click the button and it will calculate all the wrong and correct answers in the labels and then finally place the percentage score in the uiScorePercentagelabel. What I dont understand is how to calculate all the different labels as one and then show the percentage right in the appropriate label.
