Can you post an example?

I tried My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys.

You're misunderstanding what I'm trying to do.

I had aready done what you suggested and it works fine with Windows programs and the Command Prompt - for example, if I assign ENTER to Button 1 on...

What I am trying to do is use a USB GamePad to control old games like MAME and Tomb Raider (that didn't support pads and joysticks) using DirectInput (DirectX 9).

I can run my app and open the...

But there used to be examples of managed DirectX for VB .Net. DirectX SDK 9.0b had them. Do a search on the web and you will find dozens of people trying to figure out DirectInput for VB .Net.

I'm curious as to why there are no longer VB .Net examples with the DirectX SDK. Does Microsoft not want anyone using VB .Net for creating applications and/or games that use DirectX? In fact, the new...

I find myself adding a lot of commentary to my code. I think that it's way overkill but since I've never done any VB .Net programming professionally where other programmers would working with my code...

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and programmed the menu to change dynamically based upon the note order in the note cluster. It turned out it wasn't all that difficult since I already had all the...

Below are a couple of screen caps from an app I'm writing for guitarists.

On the left is an example of how you use the track bar to select a new note when creating an alternate tuning. In this...

I need all of the menu items on the context menu hidden before it opens. During the contextmenustrip .opening event a sub is called that determines which menu items are visible. There are 14...

The context menu only displays choices based upon the track bar value. It turns out that there is a bug somewhere in determining the choices to display so perhaps the context menu is firing on the...

Sorry. It's .Net 2.0 (VS 2005) and a ContextMenuStrip.

I have a track bar with a context menu. When the form first loads, when the user right-clicks on the track bar the menu doesn't appear. It takes a second right-click before it does. Anyone know why?

So after spending hours trying to figure this out, I went to the old tried and true method of pulling my head out of my backside. Wow! I could actually I see my code now and realized that I was...

I'm having a problem with setting a ListBox's SelectedIndex from a sub.

I fill the ListBox with 8 items during Form_Load(). Once it's loaded, I select the index for the listing I want selected:

Ok, after a "duh" moment, the answer seemed pretty obvious seeing as how VB .Net practically tells you what to do. Here is the solution that appears to work:
PictureBox1_Click(Button1,...

I have a series of PictureBoxes and if the user clicks on one of them, it highlights (changes color). Only one can be highlighted at any given time. I have a button that resets the images to their...

After much searching here and on the web, it turned out that I'm not the only one who needed to be able to play individual midi notes. It also turned out that as far as .Net is concerned, there isn't...

When aligning tabs along the bottom of a control, why do they not orient properly and have their highlight bar on the bottom? It's looks stupid to have these tabs along the bottom that have no border...

Ok, maybe DirectSound isn't the way to go. If your sound card is working then receiving input and playing output is already being handled by your sound card's drivers, correct?

Then isn't the real...

How do you go about programming real time wave form analysis?

I would like to write my own software guitar tuner/intonation tool. It seems like I should use DirectSound's full duplexing functions...

That's the difference between a programmer and someone who can program. :)

The original code has been edited to implement JuggaloBrotha's suggestion.

Public Function TileImage(ByVal tImage As Bitmap, ByVal xTiles As Integer, ByVal yTiles As Integer) As Bitmap
Dim x, y, xCtr, yCtr As Integer
Dim sImage As Bitmap = New...

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I originally learned to program with VB4 using a Sams Publishing "12 Easy Lessons" book. For the most part, I have no real issues except that I'm certain I'm not coding in anything even remotely...

A couple people have reported that when running my application (a landscape generator) Windows asks them if they want my app to act like a server and accept incoming connections. There is absolutely...

For some reason I cannot edit the original post to mark it as resolved - the Edit button is not available.

In any case, notice this line at the end of both versions of the CreateVertexBuffer()...

Thanks, but DirectX seems to specifically want System.IO.Stream.

I'm trying to take the image from a PictureBox and use it as a texture on a 3D Object in DirectX 9. For whatever insane reason, Microsoft has deemed that you cannot create a texture from a...

In the following code (using DX9), why would creating an index buffer result in a StackOverflowException?

They are theme files for PocketPC/Windows Mobile. I want to write my own app for creating these themes but I cannot find any info on the structure of the .tsk files.

Now that I have my 3D landscape viewer rendering in an acceptable fashion, I'm stuck on displaying the mesh as large as possible within the view area; like a "fit to screen" kind of thing. The...

I have figured out something that works but that doesn't mean it's a particularly good solution. I could post the code to the sub but it wouldn't exactly help anyone else because I'd have to go into...

Where can I find info of creating .tsk files?

I have a vertex and index buffers. I can draw my mesh in a picture box in shaded, wireframe and point cloud. All of that works. The problem with the shaded mode, of course, is that it's just a black...

Thanks. I can see it now that my head's out of my [Removed by Mod].
