I am trying to use a power meter to track the progress of my program; this will be for my use only and will be removed later. I would also like to display the percentage run in the meter. I already know what the start and end points will be for the meter. What do I need to search for? I have been looking and haven�t been able to find anything that suits my needs yet. I am running VB 2005.

I am trying to track the progress of a meter in a flash window and click when it reaches a certain point. I am currently using getpixel() to "watch" a single pixel and when it changes to green, perfrom a click. Problem is i have to "watch a pixel" about 20 pixels left of the intended target and then click. Reason, when the program has realized the pixel is green, it clicks, but this has not been as accurate as needed. Sometimes it clicks to soon and sometimes it clicks to late.
Before you suggest using DIBS, i didn't use it because i am loading a 1x1 screenshot and watching that pixel in a loop. I figured since i was continously loading a new bitmap via getpixel that dibs would not be any quicker. The way i read dibs is that if i was loading a bunch of pixels it would be faster because it goes ahead and loads into an array.Is there another way to monitor a meter in a flash window?

I'm trying to make a program where you can keep track of your progress through various projects your doing. I'd like to have it so they can add a new project via the text box/button and then when they click on that project from a listbox or something(still trying to figure out the best way) it shows the notes they have typed etc. I know how to make it so its saved when they exit and all that good stuff but I'm not sure how I would do everything else.

View 14 RepliesI am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

I am having an issuse with weither i should make 15 different fourms or just make 15 text boxes three for each round plus creating something that would add the doubles and triples I do not know what to use for a code, I have just started programming. this is what i have tried to do.
CODE:
I have created a little program that helps me keep track of tons of data by inserting it into sql. I created 5 forms and all 5 can insert data at the same time, but mostly just 1 of these is working continuously. I have noticed that the program will run, then at random times it will stop responding (can't minimize/click on anything/data entry stops), and the only way to stop is to kill the task. I can't even click in the debugger to set a break point when it happens, and setting breakpoints before debugging is useless as the program could run 2 hours and stop, or 10 minutes and stop. 5 forms, they open different excel files, insert data into sql, and repeat.
View 5 RepliesI want to make a program that will track Do Not Rent (DNR) People.I'm a intremediate vb6 programmer and have not coded in a long time.I do have and wanting to do this on VS2008 professional in VB2008.I did a simular program from a vb6 book about 12 years ago. it was a address book that i changed a little to add some things I needed it to keep track of, and it saved everything in a text file.I want to know what the pros and cons are for using a text file? xml file? or a data base?the data i be keeping track of will be vital statistics as name, state id number, id type, ect. and a picture of the id from a scanner or import from a .png, .jpg, or tiff image.If i use a data base file either Access 2007, MySQL, or SQL 2005/2008 file, do i need to have Office, MySQL, SQL 2005/2008 programs installed on the the computer im doing the programming on? do i need to have the above programs installed on the target computer?i do not think a txt file will work for me because of the picture i want to keep with the data not seperatly. So to make it a little more clear I want to be able to add, append/update, not to be able to delete a record, and be able to search the file for a record.I want to be able to navigate the records or file with first, previous, next, and last. each record will be showed seperatly.I would like to have a STATUS (lol thingy) that only my wife or I can change but let my employees be able to enter the rest of the information on there own. the STATUS Levels will be like 1st warning, 2nd warning, 3rd warning, DNR, and Rentable at our discression. I want it to only allow changes to status if they have the proper password. so i do not know if this also elimates txt files or xml files as an option.and when the wife, my employees or I make an entry I wanted it to add the time and date with the comments we entered in with the initials of the person whom entered the data. so i was thinking i will need to have security levels in my program and give each person a password so the program can fill out most small data itself.
if i do decide to use a database file to store the data, picture, and employee information can it be done with 1 table, or should i try to seperate the data in seperate tables? should i use one to one or one to many? I do not think one to many would be the best solution? it been like 12 years since I did any database programming in school and it was dBase3. If u think it be best to use multiple tables could u give me an example as to how to seperate the data.The client info would be like a address book with a picture and a comment box that will automatically add a date/timestamp and the users initials with a space between every updated or appended entry., and the employees would have there login in name and password, and initials.I was thinking of making a wizard to enter the data in for both employees and the DNR's as for people changing the date on the computer and entering info so to make it look they entered data on an earlier date I was thinking of having it log onto the internet time server and setting the date/time of the computer in the background as it loads up.
I want to create a program that will keep track of the amount of (network/internet download) data that has been received, but I have know idea how to go about doing it.Where would be a good place to start with this type of development? Or could some one give me example code that will get me started.

When the send Invitatin button is clicked, the name appears in the checked listbox. This counts as an invited person.When an invited person confirms that they will be attending, the user will check the name in the checked listbox. this counts as a confirmed person.
What I am having a hard time figuring out is the codes! What would I declare my integer variables to hold the count of invited persons and the count of confirmed persons? And how would I code a loop to check if the name enetered in the name textbox already appears in the list box, if so, display a message telling the user that this person has already been invited?

View 1 RepliesI'm at a stage with my first real program where I'm putting some effort into the UI.I'd like to have a "meter", of "velocity" type, you know the ones in vehicles.I'm thinking of having an arrow that I've drawn in Illustrator pointing in a specific angles depending on values it gets from a database. i'm thinking of having on arrow pointing straight up, and two similar ones, only being diagonal in the picturebox (to the left and right respectively), thus enabling me to resize the picturebox and stretch the image. However that's not a pretty solution is it? Is there a way to place the arrow at an angle inside the picturebox, or the picturebox itself?
