Oct 4, 2009I was just wondering if there was a way to send the button value of a button on a controller to the controller. What I mean is, if the xbox 360 controller was a windows form, clicking the mouse on one of the buttons would be like regular button presses, and then the button.performclick for that button would also press that button. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Gamepad Support - Get Code For C# ?
Dec 2, 2011Well I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition & I have already coded support for buttons & sticks for the most part basically(I can't detect the two different triggers as two different values so I can't know when one is partially down when ones pushing in the other stick or letting that one go) I can't detect the guide button....also I can't make the controller vibrate...
Is there a way to solve this? I don't want to download C# express edition or visual studio trial & xna just to try & get code for C# which may include code I don't know what I need to copy(+translate to vb) or classes/functions not available in the Visual Basic language.
Can anyone help me so I can make this from VB? I want them to be able to use the buttons to move around the user interface(not a game), the guide button to be used to bring up a menu to turn off the controller & such like that & vibration feedback so they are sure when they pushed a button & an action was carried out for example....
---My last post was moved off-topic telling me to post in the xna forum but I don't want to build this using xna game studio or C# language that you must have installed to use xna game studio....I need this code for VB.NET if it's even possible to do at all, reccomendations to use XNA/C++/C#,F#, etc...these will be ignored as I don't want to have to download & install XNA or the express editions for all the different coding languages just because one thing in my own isn't turning out easy for me to work with.
If i had the money for visual studio this would be no big deal but im a single developer basically(all the coding for the program) & don't have enough money for the tool that could allow me to easily make a project using any language I want without having to download & install all the express editions seperately & start them up seperately when I want to work with certain projects.
Register Gamepad As A Mouse ?
Mar 10, 2009I want to use a gamepad as a mouse/keyboard in a online pc game. Im using a program called Xpadder to allow me to work the mouse/keyboard, but it wont work in game because it simulates the mouse. The game blocks the dll file that allows you to manipulate the mouse/keyboard, so that they can prevent bots.
So what if somehow i registered the gamepad as a mouse? So that its not simulating a mouse, it is a mouse.
If i could fool the pc into thinking it is a mouse then when they game receives inputs from it, the game would accept them because it also thinks its a mouse.
How would i do something like this?
I suppose i would have to make a mouse driver that worked with the gamepad? But i dont know how to do any of that stuff...
Playing Sounds (.wav, .mp3, Etc) From Gamepad Input
Nov 22, 2009[URL]
I just got back into VB since being, at best, a hobby programmer with VB6. Wow, so much has changed since then, so I feel like I am starting all over again.
After much hunting and searching, I found that great code sample that shows the input from the game pad/joystick. (Finding visual basic 2008 and gamepad input information isn't easy!)
Now I want specific buttons to play a random file from a specific folder.
The application runs on a Netbook, which is a bit light on resources. I would prefer to play WAVs and MP3s with something that's less resource intense than windows media player. (Perhaps its very easy to do so from the code level. I've noticed WMP is so loaded with visualizations and so forth, its hard to turn all that crap off)

Office Automation :: Excel Process Continues Running (.Net Framework 3.5, VS.Net 2008, .Net 2008)
Apr 15, 2011I'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.
Code:
''' <summary>
''' Exports data from a datatable to excel.

VS 2008 Visual Studio 2008 Randomly Crashing When Simply WRITING Code?
Oct 25, 2009i'm running Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition (latest service pack ... 9.0.30729.1 SP) on XP Pro SP3 with .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1 I have a rather large project I've imported from Visual Studio 2003 (Standard).The project compiles and runs just fine ... my compiled program itself never crashes.
But while I actually have the code up in the IDE, and simply adding/deleting code the whole IDE will randomly crash (usually without warning) and I loose my changes since last save.If/when I do get some hint of why it crashed, I get a window about illegal whitespace or something.... but that's rare ... usually it just crashes without warning and the whole IDE completely shuts down instantly. just deleting/adding a character is enough to trigger it maybe once every 30 minutes.
This is on a computer that is otherwise very rock solid .... no other program ever crashes, etc.

VS 2008 Validate A Groupbox To Make Sure Radiobutton Is Checked - VB 2008
May 12, 2010Is there a way to validate a groupbox with a couple radiobuttons in it to make sure that one of the radiobuttons is selected?
Heres why I need this. I need a user to be able to select their class rank out by way of radiobuttons in a groupbox. When they click submit, I need to validate that atleast one of the radiobuttons got selected and if not display a messagebox.
I got one reply early of:
If myGroupBox.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton).Count(Function(rb) rb.Checked) = 0 Then
'There is no RadioButton checked in myGroupBox.
End If
Is there any other ways other then that? Preferrably a more 'dumbed' down way? This is for just an entry level VB class, I would prefer not to use something of that nature if there is another way.

Aug 5, 2009I have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.

COM Object Handling Differences Between 2008 Express And VB 2008?
Jul 15, 2009I recently created a very simple project in VB express 2008 to interface with a COM object from an external vendor. I then downloaded the VS2008 90 day trial and found that the identical code in a VS2008 project results in a COMException error "Object is out of scope". Is anyone aware of any differences in how the two packages handle COM object interfaces as I have run out of ideas. Both projects have identical code and all the references are the same. The CreateObject() method correctly creates the object, but any attempt to access methods inside the COM object result in that error. I can even open the VB 2008 Express project inside VS and it still generates the same error.
Here is the code - the vendor dll in question is from Siebel v8.0.0, you'll notice that I have commented out most of the code that comes after the error. Creating a watch in the debugger on the siebApp variable sees it correctly created as {System.__ComObject}type SiebelHTMLApplication. I first tried this by creating the Property Service for variable siebSvcs, but after I started experiencing the COMExceptions, I reverted to using the most basic method inside the COM object I was creating.
