    - Screen Recorder how to Ok, so I have been looking all over the net looking for something that should be very simple! A screen recorder. Every one that I have tried just doesn't fit my needs. They either don't work period, are incompatible with Vista - program has stopped working, or creates a 4GB file after 30 seconds (that being FRAPS). So needless to say, out of the 2 dozen I've downloaded none work. The best I was able to EVER get was 4 FPS. So I though I'd create my own, however the best I can do is a screen shot capturer. I did search the forums first but nothing really helped me. Does any one know of a good place, or script that I can work with I though about making a background worker capture about 10-15 fames a second, but that equates to about 45MB a second plus what ever Halo PC-CE takes. Any help would be great. Thanks a million for any info. Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero? Visual Studio Express Editions

    - Move to cell in previous row? ReneeC, Thank you for the code. What i am not sure of is how do i tie this to a button click event What i am doing is using the button click to move a cell in one direction (up,down,rigt or left) With the following code in my button click event i can move to a new cell, but i need to move in a direction. Me.MaintableDataGridView.CurrentCell.Selected = False Me.MaintableDataGridView.Rows(0).Cells(0).Selected = True I am trying to mimic excel where i can tell it to move one cell by the following: Activecell.Offset (0,1).Select These are the coordinates it moves based on the current location.(in excel VBA) I want the literal movement. (1.go to the next cell up, 2.work with the cell, 3.move move down 1 cell) etc... I want to do this in a loop code (that part i know what to do) i just can get the move to work. Me.MaintableDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor =Color.Yellow Me.MaintableDataGridView.CurrentCell.Value = "" So in the end can you tell me how to directly tell it to move up Thank you Jeff Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

    - multiple do while statements for a datareader Hey Jack, There's nothing like being in DB hell, I feel your pain ;o) Okay, Let's get the dumb stuff out of the way: Are you sure SELECT * FROM Player WHERE status = 5 actually returns rows The Status field is a numeric datatype The action you're seeing looks like you're hitting an empty dataset. I'll keep looking at the code but please check these things out. REVISED: I think I've got it.

    - How do I create an xla formatted file using Express? Hi Dave, Well i don't have a lot of experience with vb6 but i am guessing that what you are looking to do is to "print" to excel. You want to take the data and place into excel, is this right And i guess you are using excel 2007 if you are looking for an xla file If you are wanting to use your file as an addin for excel then i can't help with that and you may need to look at the vba or visual studio tools for office (VSTO) forums for more help. I can however help you with excel automation but i have to say that i have no experience with using dlls. So if you can give some more details on what you are trying to accomplish that would help. And be very specific. ReneeC is right, solitaire may be more help to you on this one depending on what you want to do. Jeff Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

    - Date Format - Globalization Hi Andreas, Thanks for your reply. I work on ships and learning VB is a very satisfying "off shift" hobby. As a source, I'm using all the nautical charts on board to learn about writing a database programme (adding and deleting records). When the Hydrographic office release a new chart they always print the print date on the back of the chart in the format "yy/dd/MM" and this is the format that's officially used for charts on any ship! So while I agree that it is "user choice" for style, in this case it's the "yy/dd/MM" format that is the official format and I just want to keep with it. Any help will be greatly appreciated………..!!!!

    - Randomize with same value; why is sequence different? VB help says: "Randomize uses Number to initialize the Rnd function's random-number generator, giving it a new seed value. " ... then says " Using Randomize with the same value for Number does not repeat the previous sequence." I find second statement a bit counterintuitive given first statement. Probably I'm missing something obvious but would be grateful if anyone could explain why the previous sequence is not repeated.

    - how can I disable default membership and roles behaviour? Hi Folks, Im having some issues with visual studio express and its built-in membership and roles functionality. Mainly, I want to turn it off (or at least use a database besides sql server). In my begginer mind, it seems that what I want to acomplish should be a simple matter. Here's my situation: My WebServer: WIN2003, IISx, .net 2, (no sql server) My dev machiene: winxp, .net2, visual studio express. My problem: Visual studio, by default, creates a .mdf file (sql database) to store membership and roles (and perhaps other information). This seems to be happen automatically. I dont ask for a mdf, it assumes I need it. My webserver doesnt have sql server, so all my apps crash when run on it. My question (two part): a) Can one disable visual studio's inherent desire to create the .mdf file b) How Many Thanks Jeremy Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

Using the free Express edition, can I access a COM method inside a DLL provided from a 3rd party (Mercury/TD API) I have already registered the DLL using regsvr32. The TD API documentation from Mercury is quite sparse. Basically I have a DLL file with COM objects inside and the API doc lists the various objects and methods I can access... But can I do it using this free Express edition of VC++ And if so, how.. can someone give me an example of referencing that DLL file and invoking a method in sample C++ code Much appreciated, since I'm a "newbie." -Andrew Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

    - How to use the DataReceived event which was defined in a module. Bruno Yu and VickyJoe I don't think that the answer from nobugz, which Bruno Yu quote, is correct (#2). The short story: DataReceived fires when the number of received data exceeds the threshold level. Any further events from SerialPort are disabled (by means of a lock on the underlying SerialStream object) until the eventhandler returns, so there will never be more instances running at the same time. Therefore, you will never receive zero bytes (bytes received by a previous instance). The long story: Read at least the chapter "Serial Port Events" of this description: http://www.innovatic.dk/knowledg/SerialCOM/SerialCOM.htm . This describes the exact receive sequence according to Kim Hamilton, who is the one, who has programmed SerialPort. VickyJoe You cannot expect the DataReceived event to fire faster than 50 mS! The event is handled on a thread pool thread with lower priority than the UI thread. Why do you need it so fast Anything above 115.2 kbit/s requires a better UART, but below that speed, you will have no problems if you do it right. I know that when you put SerialPort in its own class (or into a module) you need to do something slightly different to make the DataReceived event to fire. I think it has something to do with making a new SerialPortEventHandler delegate in the class, but I have never used SerialPort that way so I cannot give you a precise guidance, but maybe Bruno Yu know what to change when you put some code in a module.

    - Assigning variables to their own sub procedures to be called to work in a "formula" type sub When i see threads from students i am usually confused as to why these questions aren't explained in the class. I am thinking that either they are explained and something is missed, which i can understand, or they want to see what you can come up with on your own. Do they give you assignments just to see if you will find the answer on your own Or are they expecting you to work together as a class outside the classroom to figure it out Or do they give you a book and say have at it I am just curious because sometimes it seems like variables should be a high priority in the classroom. What kind of program can you make without them. Could you explain how they teach you students. What do they teach you first Either way the problem seems to be where you have declared the variables. Did they go over variable declaration with you The key is to declare at the form level or class level. If you don't mind explaining some of the class to me then i will give some more help than just little hints. I know the forum community doesn't like to do people's homework for them but i will give you more help than many will. I believe that sometimes you have to see it to learn it. Books don't cut it for me. I have to see some code and be told what it does and then i can change and combine with other code to make it work for me. edit -------------------------------- I see there was some help given while i was writing my post I would still be interested in how the class is taught Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

Re: Visual Basic Express Edition NotifyIcon mouse position always zero?

nobugz

Yes, the NotifyIcon Windows message handler fires any of the mouse events with the mouse position hard-coded to 0,0. Educated guess as to why: it gets the mouse coordinates relative from the Tray window. Since the shell doesn't let you find out where the icon is located in the tray, Windows Forms can't calculate the mouse position relative from the icon's upper left corner.

An excellent way to blow of steam like this is to report this at Product Feedback. They can't fix it but at least somebody else would find your insight very valuable.
