How would I use a "for" (or other) loop to draw a bullet sprite in a unique direction from the center point?

--Liam

P.S. Where the PROGRAM checks if the spacebar is pressed is where a new bullet will be created.

Code:
Code: [Select]using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Net;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Storage;

namespace SupaShota
{
public class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
{
GraphicsDeviceManager graphics;
SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
Vector2 v = new Vector2(350, 250);//base point
Texture2D bar;//BARREL
Texture2D b;//base
Texture2D bul;//bullet

public Game1()
{
graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this);
Content.RootDirectory = "Content";
}
protected override void Initialize()
{
base.Initialize();
}
protected override void LoadContent()
{
// Create a new SpriteBatch, which can be used to draw textures.
spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
b = Content.Load<Texture2D>("base");
bar = Content.Load<Texture2D>("barrel");
bul = Content.Load<Texture2D>("bullet");
// TODO: use this.Content to load your game content here
}

MouseState MS;
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
// Allows the game to exit
if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
this.Exit();

MS = Mouse.GetState();
KeyboardState ks = Keyboard.GetState();
if (ks.IsKeyDown(Keys.Space))
{

}

base.Update(gameTime);
}

protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.CornflowerBlue);
spriteBatch.Begin();
spriteBatch.Draw(b, v, Color.White);
double an = Math.Atan2(MS.Y - v.Y, MS.X - v.X);
Rectangle r = new Rectangle((int)v.X + 50, (int)v.Y + 50, bar.Width, bar.Height);
spriteBatch.Draw(bar, r, NULL, Color.White, (FLOAT)an, Vector2.Zero, SpriteEffects.None, 0);
/*
*
* Here is where the "for" statement or such will go.
*
*
*/
spriteBatch.End();
base.Draw(gameTime);
}
}
}

Please tell me if I forgot to mention something.

Can some please tell me what this function does?

Function SwopIt(tmpDatum)
Dim dd
Dim mm
Dim yyyy
Dim tmpDate
Dim pos1, pos2
tmpDate = FormatDateTime(tmpDatum,2)
pos1 = InStr(1, tmpDate, "/")
pos2 = InStr(pos1 + 1, tmpDate, "/")
mm = Mid(tmpDate, 1, pos1 - 1)
dd = Mid(tmpDate, pos1 + 1, pos2 - pos1 - 1)
yyyy = Right(tmpDate, 4)
SwopIt = dd & "/" & mm & "/" & yyyy
End Function

Private Function MakeDate(aDate)
Dim dpart,mpart,ypart,tmpDate

dpart = DatePart("d", aDate)
If Len(dpart) = 1 Then dpart = "0" & dpart
mpart = DatePart("m", aDate)
Select CASE mpart
Case 1
mpart = "Jan"
Case 2
mpart = "Feb"
Case 3
mpart = "Mar"
Case 4
mpart = "Apr"
Case 5
mpart = "May"
Case 6
mpart = "Jun"
Case 7
mpart = "Jul"
Case 8
mpart = "Aug"
Case 9
mpart = "Sep"
Case 10
mpart = "OCT"
Case 11
mpart = "Nov"
Case 12
mpart = "DEC"
End Select

ypart = DatePart("yyyy", aDate)
MakeDate = dpart & " " & mpart & " " & ypart
End FunctionThere are actually two functions. SwopIt converted my local date (mm/dd/yyyy) to dd/mm/yyyy. MakeDate converted my local date (mm/dd/yyyy) to dd mmm yyyy.

Note: if passing data to the functions, be sure the data is dimmed as date. If you're hardcoding literals to the functions, be sure the enclose the data with # symbols. The results may surprise you if you fail to do so.



Thanks so much.
My suprise is, if i save the date as 05 Feb 2009, what i get on my display page is 02 May 2009.
Its really confusing me. I took over this code from someone and i have to make sure that our clients get the right information as the one that they have saved in the db.Quote

My suprise is, if i save the date as 05 Feb 2009, what i get on my display page is 02 May 2009.

I want to run a batch file while I am away from computer and at one time I need to press 'ENTER' on the keyboard (or to click somewhere PRECISE in the screen), is it possible to make the batch file 'press' the enter key or to program a way to click somewhere in the screen?

If not do you know any software where I could program this?You could edit the .bat file and remove the corresponding "pause" line from the code.There are no ''pause'' line in my program.

I want to know if it is possible to code the batch file for it ''press'' enter key.

I make the batch open a software and after it is open I need to press enter key to make it run and after I do a loop to make it run MANY times... I know how to make all the code except that press enter THING (or to make it click somewhere in the screen to run the software)you will need to create a small file- just press enter in notepad, and save the resulting file.


now, assuming you saved that file as "enter.txt":
Code: [Select]type enter.txt | yourprogram.exe

the enter in the text file will be USED by the program as standard input, and so it will act as if the user had pushed enter.

Hope this is what you need.

I'm trying to copy and modify this: authenticate with external SMTP mail server and send SIMPLE email using .bat but I'm doing a bad job here.

C:\>[emailprotected] -FROM [emailprotected] -TO [emailprotected] -TEXT "You have Email" -SUBJECT "You have Email" -SMTP smtp.somewhere.com -AUTH AUTO -USER pete -PASS 123456

But I don't know if I'm writing it correctly or I'm using it wrongly.

Why is there 'C:\>' ?

I think the REST is correct but I'm just guessing.

ThanksQuote

Why is there 'C:\>' ?

Hello Members,

I do not use Macros but recently I have tried to create a Macro in OUTLOOK 2000, It is a simple "Mail" macro.

I am try to create a Macro that will simply reply to an email message with a few sentences. Can someone help me create an "email macro" that simple automatically types a message in the "body" of the message. I spent most of the day on google, but the only macro I found was the one below. which only adds a message to the "subject" area.
I would like to add a message also to the "body" of the mail message as well, but do not understand to do it. Can someone please explain how to create a "mail" macro in Outlook 2000 for beginners like myself. Here is a Macro I found on google, but it only adds one line in the subject area: Thankyou all for your help., Ric

Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"
msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End SubYou might try using the body property in the mailitem class:

Code: [Select]Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Body = "Hello World!"
msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

Good luck.
Hello and thankyou,

This worked for me, I can't thankyou enough. Could you help me a bit further,

I also wanted to add back the "subject" line, so the macro would contain "both" the subject like and the "body". Could you show me what that code would look like and then I could paste it in.

P.S. The text that I am writing in the body, when I press the macro button, turns out to be "two long lines", is there any way to make the macro format the text as follows instead of two long lines:

Dear Personnel,

Thankyou for the opportunity to respond to your help desk position,
I look forward to meeting with you and your staff to discuss my qualifications.

Sincerely,
Richard (Is there anyway to format the text in the macro to look like this
paragraph, RIGHT now everything is put into just two lines
without any wrapping or FORMATTING. thankyou again ! rickThe key is to do the formatting yourself:

Code: [Select]Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"

str = "Dear Personnel," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "THANK you for the opportunity to respond to your help desk position," & vbCrLf
str = str & "I look forward to meeting with you and your staff to discuss my qualifications." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf
str = str & "Richard"
msg.Body = str

msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

Hope this helps.

The code is untested, but this should give you some ideas.Hello,

I tried to run the "code you mentioned" and I received the error
message "Compile error: Argument not optional".

a little yellow arrow was pointing to the very first line where is says:

Sub HelloworldMessage () which was all in "yellow color

Also the first "Str = "Dear Personel," etc

The "str" was blue. on that first line.

I didn't like to bother you, thankyou for your help, if you have time to
get just this one macro working that would be all I need, I would like
make my own macros but do not understand the help file that came with
the VBA, so I will read up on understanding how to create a macro with VBA.

If you would be kind enough to get this one macro working that would be
great, perhaps I am doing something wrong, I just simply pasted everything
into the Project where it said "this outlook session" as you mentioned before.
I then saved it, and then ran the macro, but received error. Thankyou again for your help. Ric
Forgot about declaring variables.

Code: [Select]Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim str as String
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"

str = "Dear Personnel," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your help desk position," & vbCrLf
str = str & "I look forward to meeting with you and your staff to discuss my qualifications." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf
str = str & "Richard"
msg.Body = str

msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

Not sure about this line: "Str = "Dear Personel,". The posted code shows no leading quote on Str. Quotes should come in pairs.

Basically you're creating a long string with well placed carriage returns/line feeds to make it look formatted.

Thankyou, Thankyou and Thankyou !!

It worked perfectly ! Exactly what I wanted. I appreciate your generous and
patient help, you've helped me more than I can say.

I'll be sending out a lot of resumes, and these macros will automate everything and save me a lot of typing time, macros are really quite incredible.

I tried to "Save the Macro" to a "Button" on the tool bar, by pressing "customize" on the toolbar. And although the "macro" button that I want to use stays there for the first session. Whenever I "reboot" or "close" the Outlook program.
IT COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS. I am using Outlook 2000, iS THIS A "BUG" in the program. I've tried saving the macro shortcut button to the toolbar at least 10 times, and the "button" on the toolbar is completely gone the next time I start up Outllook. Have you heard of anything like this problem.? Now that Ihave this great macro, it would be even faster to press a button on the toolbar to activate it, instead of going to "Tools >Macro>Macro.name Thankyou again. This will work on Outlook 2002, should be the same for 2000:

Create the macro

View==>TOOLBARS==>Customize==>New

Add new toolbar

Click Commands Tab

Click the name of the toolbar you just added

From the right panel, drag the macro name to the newly created toolbar

Note: the new toolbar is not docked. Try moving on to the Outlook toolbar if you prefer.

Good luck. Please try to keep your posts together in one thread. I cannot duplicate your problem with attaching the macro to a toolbar. Perhaps it is unique to Outlook 2000.

However, there are other ways of sending mail. The following script runs external to the Outlook application but still utilizes Outlook's properties and methods. Nice thing is the outgoing mail is preserved in your sent items folder.

Code: [Select]Const olMailItem = 0

Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oMail = ol.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With oMail
.To = "[emailprotected]"
.Subject = "Hello World!"

str = "Dear Personnel," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your help desk position," & vbCrLf
str = str & "I look forward to meeting with you and your staff to discuss my qualifications." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf
str = str & "Richard"

.Body = str
.Attachments.Add("c:\documents\resume.doc")
.Send
End With

ol.Quit

Be sure to fixup the To address and the path to resume.doc. Save script with a vbs extension and run from the command line as wscript scriptname.vbs

Then there is a command line program called blat. Finally, there is a scriptable object called CDO.Message. Neither of these two will automatically create entries in your Outlook send items folder.Thanks, I will keep my posts together in one string, appreciate your help,
I'm sure this will work FINE, and yes it might be just isolated problem with the button on outlook 2000, I would like to upgrade if Ican. Thankyou again for your kind help, RicHi,

Do you know of any good sites where I can download some helpful
Macros for my work. I've found out that "macros" are quite incredible
tools. Is there a site where I can download a variety of sample macros
that can do a variety of different useful tasks . Thanks , RicHi

I have been also studying for my MCP cert,, and have created over 35 separate
Word .docx and .doc study files, a mixture of both, most are word 2007
. I am trying to create a MACRO that will combine or append
all of these or at least most of them into 1 .DOCX OR .DOC FILE.
So I will have one large Ebook, so to speak to study from.

Can I have help to create a Macro that will Append all these files:
I have for example. Doc1, Doc2, Doc3, Doc4, Doc5, etc and I want
to combine OR append them into just one MAIN.DOC . or MAIN.DOCX file

Thankyou all, Ric

Hello, I am using Outlook 2000

Is it possible to Attach a regular .doc file with a MACRO automatically in an Email.

What I am trying to do is create a macro that will automatically write one or two sentences into the body of my message, and then automatically attach a "file"
which is in my "documents" folder called: resume.doc

Could someone show me a sample code that will do this ? I am sending out letters of job interviews and also must attach my resume, to the email. If a macro
can do all this that would be great.

I still have not figured out how to use VBA to program all this stuff into the macro,
but can someone send a sample macro code to do this.

The name of the macro might be : Job resume
The sentence in the body of the message: Attached is my Resume for review
The name of the resume file to attach is: resume.doc

Can someone help. Thankyou, RicTry using the attachments.add method:

Code: [Select]Sub HelloWorldMessage()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim str as String
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"

str = "Dear Personnel," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your help desk position," & vbCrLf
str = str & "I look forward to meeting with you and your staff to discuss my qualifications." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
str = str & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf
str = str & "Richard"
msg.Body = str

msg.Attachments.Add("c:\documents\resume.doc")

msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

You can fixup the file path to resume.doc if need be.

Good luck.
Speaking of Outlook, how will I set-up an outlook on my pc? I don't KNOW how to set up. Please help.Hi , The Macro you created to attach Files Worked perfectly, Thankyou again,
This would've taken me weeks to figure out. If you know of a good website where I can learn how to step by step create my own macro in outlook 2000 let me know.

Unfortunately, I still have the other problem, "creating a macro button" I did exactly as you MENTIONED, View, Toolbars, Customize, New toolbar,
Then I added a "macro" to the new tool Bar. I tried in 'Undocked" and also
"Docked" positions. When I closed outlook and started it again, it was gone,
Even the new listing I made in "customize" new toolbar was also gone, that
tool also disappeared. I do not know what I am doing wrong, I READ on google that several people had this problem. Am I doing something wrong here, should
I save the tool Bar setting somehow, I do now know where., but the same
disappearance keeps happening again. Anyother possible solutions to this problem. Thankyou, RicHi,

I just WANTED to add, also that even when I select one of the "default"
tool bars, which are "advanced" and "web" , They also disappear
when I restart outlook the next time. The only tool bar that stays
there when I restart is the "Standard" tool bar.

I'm unable to create a database application using visual basic 6 enterprise EDITION. When I put the address in the "DatabaseName" property of "Data" control and then want to select the table using "RecordSource" property, it says: Unrecognized Databse FORMAT. I'm using a .mdb Microsoft Access databse. I'd like to know why it is not working.
Thanks.What control are you using to link to the table?

You need to be using the ADO Data Control. The properties and methods are similar to the old DataControl.

Good luck. I used the MS ActiveX Data Object Control but it does not have "DatabaseName" property so where to ENTER the .mdb database name ? It just have recordsource Assuming you're up to date with VB and MDAC service, you need to make a reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library.

Both the RecordSource and the Databasename are properties. The Databasename field allows the user to visually find the database on the system. The RecordSource field will bring up a list of the tables and allow you to choose one.

You can also do this by CREATING a ADODB.Connection and a ADODB.Recordset from within the code. I usually do this as it allows more flexibility.

Another thing you might try is to create a DSN through the ODBC Data Source applet in the control panel.

Good luck.

I have a program that I want it to minimize it SELF then maximize it self 2 times using a loop how can I do this?

Tan_ZaQuote

I have a program that I want it to minimize it self then maximize it self 2 times using a loop how can I do this?

Well the code is not very important because it is just the very start of a new program right so then what happens next is that it minimizes it self, then it restores it self back into what it was when it started. This I think runs in the command line.

'cscript min_max.vbs' is how I run it.

If you still can't help me with that information I'll show the code.

hmm, that makes things a little worse meh I'll get used to it...
Perl looks like a better language to learn anyway.

Tan_Za

I have decided to START to learn a new programming language, which in this case if perl. I have got 6 numbers that get RANDOMLY printed on the screen and I want to be able to count how many times each number show up/get's randomly picked. My code is below of what I have done so far.

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# VARIABLES
@counter = (1 .. 200);
@numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);


for $i (@counter) {
my @numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
PRINT $numbers[int rand scalar @numbers], "\N";

}

thanks for help .I found everything from spyware to an ACCESS violation. In this context you may have an access violation in your code.

Is your code handling exceptions? If you're using Visual STUDIO or one of the Express Editions, this fix may help:

Did you try handling exceptions as they are thrown? (Under Debug | Exceptions ... and then pick access violation under WIN32 Exceptions).

How would I write a program to convert a wav file into BEEP Statments for C++? Is this even possible?What EXACTLY do you MEAN?

I have a program made in C++ where, when you press a key on the keyboard, it makes a different beep depending on the key you pressed.

You want to MAKE a .wav file beep?It would be theorectically possible to analyse different frequences in a .wav file and make different beep sounds based on this. However, this would be very complex and i have no idea how you would GO about it.

I made sure the file exists and I'm still getting problems.

If my knowledge of .NET is correct, "using" is used to specify what assemblies and classes you would like to use without qualifying their names fully; for example:
Code: [Select]Using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.*
the way your using it now, it would seem more appropriate to use the Dim statement, as in:

Code: [Select]Dim MyReader As New _
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser _
("C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Desktop\readertest.txt")
yeah, i guess that makes sense. I got my snippet from MSDN so it might not be express 2005 formatted or whatever. but that will make it read the file then?or maybe you can just help with all new code. I want to read text out a text file, and SET it as variables to be used later. the thing is I need like probably about 20 variables in the text file.Quote

I made sure the file exists and I'm still getting problems.

I made sure the file exists and I'm still getting problems.

How did you check?

i made sure it was there, and also I checked the path from the properties

I have written a code that is surpose to output questions from a file after that the program should input all the answers to an array then afterwards close the file. in implementation program the answers program should re-open to allow me to read the answers from the answers file and check whether they are correct or not.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS KEEPS ON GIVING ME THE SAME ERROR WHICH IS IN LINE 10 ("expected constructor,destructor or some kind of conversion before .")

if anyone has an idea on how I should GO about solving this problem COULD he or she PLZ reply. thanks in advance.

Hello all! I'm trying to make a program to where when a user inputs their name and selects a color of what they want their name to be will display within the program. But my issue is trying to get a image that is supposed to switch from on to off.

For example, I want the user to have to click on a light bulb to turn on and then click it to turn off...

But at the bottom it will state "Turn off the light, Danny." and when the user clicks on the "on light bulb" it will turn off and then the text will display as "Turn on the light, Danny", and then once they click on the image it will go back to the previous statement to turn off the light.

I'm having difficulties trying to figure out how to go about coding that part. I have everything else, but I'm stuck on how to get the text to change along with the image.

Any ideas?

If you need to see what I have coded so far, please let me know and I'll copy and paste it here along with a screen shot of what the program looks like. Do you mean a status bar? It would help to see what you have so far. Also, is this VB6 or VB.Net?It is Visual Studio .NET 2005 but I have it set for Visual Basic for the IDE Settings. I hope that makes sense?

Here's the coding I have so far.

Code: [Select]Public Class MainForm

PRIVATE Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub

Private Sub RedRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RedRadioButton.CheckedChanged
' Display the current text color and message.

MessageLabel.Text = "Turn on the light, " & NameTextBox.Text
MessageLabel.ForeColor = Color.Red

End Sub

Private Sub GreenRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GreenRadioButton.CheckedChanged
' Display the current text color and message.

MessageLabel.Text = "Turn on the light, " & NameTextBox.Text
MessageLabel.ForeColor = Color.Green

End Sub

Private Sub BlackRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BlackRadioButton.CheckedChanged
' Display the current text color and message.

MessageLabel.Text = "Turn on the light, " & NameTextBox.Text
MessageLabel.ForeColor = Color.Black

End Sub

Private Sub BlueRadioButton_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BlueRadioButton.CheckedChanged
' Display the current text color and message.

MessageLabel.Text = "Turn on the light, " & NameTextBox.Text
MessageLabel.ForeColor = Color.Blue
End Sub

Private Sub PrintButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintButton.Click
' PRINT the form in the Print PREVIEW window.

PrintForm1.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
PrintForm1.Print()
End Sub

Private Sub ExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitButton.Click
' End the program.

Me.Close()
End Sub

Private Sub LightOffPictureBox_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LightOffPictureBox.Click

End Sub

Private Sub LightOnPictureBox_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LightOnPictureBox.Click

End Sub
End Class

I have attached what the program looks like when it first runs, and when you PUT in your name... Now you will only see one image, because the other image is behind the off light bulb but.

[Saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Instead of using two image controls you could use just one and alternate the image that is currently displayed in it. You could then add a click event to the image control. Using a boolean variable you could check to see if the light is on. If it's off display the "light on" image and vice versa.

YAY ! Got this done allready

everythink its working now thanks for helping lol, that's the method I just described lol, didnt know you are talking about that well, it uses a form-level variable to flag when the thread should end. that was what I meant.

good to hear you got it workin.

what is this for? Just curious.Its should be a metronome, that used when you play guitar

In an Access database, I want the user to select a date using the CALENDAR control and have the selection POPULATE a date field rather than have the user type a date directly into the field. How do I ARRANGE for the calendar to open and how do I bind it to the date field?

Thanks for any assistance.I think i can HELP you, but what version of access do you have?Hi Cohen,

Currently, we're using Access 2003.

Does anybody know of, or would be willing to create me, a SET of software for windows to create a kernel?If you want to play with Kernels I'd play with Linux. As for creating a Kernel with a software for Windows, you will find yourself using a PACKAGE like Borland or MS C++ and if creating from scratch you will need LOTS of help. Its easier to modify the wheel then to reinvent it in the case of kernels, and Linux lets you do that without any worry about legality. Bill Gates doesnt like any competition / clones of his software and operating systems, so trying to reinvent Windows or DOS would be a lost cause and up hill legality battle. Closest Kernel yet to touch on MS territory that I know of is FREEDOS, and the only reason why this is not a major ISSUE for MS is only because they havent created a FREEWINDOWS.

If you want to make your own kernel I would learn C++ and Assembly Language.

As for myself I tweaked Linux Kernels with friends back in college and that was cool, but we were only able to make the slightest of MODIFICATIONS without breaking it. A kernel is a very sensitive object!Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering if there was, like, a kernel IDE or something. By the way, anybody, dosent video memory start at b8000?QUOTE from: helper on January 05, 2009, 11:17:59 AM

I have a batch file that copies files from a DESIGN file to a computer running an automated cutting machine. At present, we use XCOPY to copy over all existing files and ADD newly created files. I want to be ABLE to only copy to the cutter computer files with a newer date and newly created files. We change drill holes to notches on the cutter and do not want to lose that if the existing files did not change. Help.Welcome to the CH forums.

Have you tried the /D and /U options in XCopy? (XCopy/? at the command prompt to display).

Perhaps we'd be able to assist you further if you post your XCopy command line.Thank you. Yes, I will post the lines that are in the file now. Everything is turned off - I will post in the morning.Ok. here is the batch file.

:cutter 1
deltree /Y C:\ISO\Specials\*.*
XCopy \\Nesterfoam\Specials\*.* /s C:\ISO\Specials\*.*
XCopy \\Nest3\Cutterfiles\*.* /s C:\ISO\*.* /s /d
XCopy \\Nesterfoam\partordernesterfoam\*.* /s C:\ISO\partordernesterfoam\*.*
echo cutter files transfered
:cont
pause


The fourth line down is the issue.
I originally wanted to only copy over files in the cutter if the source file was newer than destination file. I can use the /d without specifying a date to accomplish this. However, the fourth line down is not working. I will VERIFY if Nest3 ans cutterfiles exist, but can anyone tell me if line four is in the correct order.?.
Help.please do not double post.

In qbasic 1.1, when I use an ON KEY for the arrow keys, for example:
Code: [Select]...
ON KEY(11) GOSUB up
KEY(11) ON
...
DO WHILE INKEY$ <> CHR$(27) 'Esc
LOCATE 1,1: PRINT response
LOCATE y,X: PRINT "*" 'qbasic, with the locate command, uses rows before column thus y,x
LOOP
END
...
up:
y = y - 1
Response = "up"
GOSUB checkxy
RETURN
...
checkxy:
If x > 23 THEN x = 23
IF x < 1 THEN x = 1
IF y > 79 THEN y = 79
IF y < 10 THEN y = 10
RETURN
When I press the up arow, it moves the asterisk up one row, waits for half a SECOND, and then the asterisk moves again, continuously up rows. How MIGHT I CHANGE this so that when I press and hold the up arrow it just moves my asterisk without the delay?

This has been a problem across Qbasic and VB.net for me for a while with different programs, and I've never worked it out...

Thanks,
BonesI found a solution for vb, actually, but not one for qbasic. Here's the vb one, as sourced from experts-exchange, http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/Q_20654594.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+repeat

Code: [Select]General Declarations:
dim x as integer
dim y as integer



Sub Form_KeyDown (keycode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case (keycode)

Case 37
keyleft = 1

Case 39
keyup = 1

Case 38
keyright = 1

Case 40
keydown = 1

End Select

End Sub




Sub Form_KeyUp (keycode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case (keycode)

Case 37
keyleft = 0

Case 39
keyup = 0

Case 38
keyright = 0

Case 40
keydown = 0

End Select

End Sub




Sub Timer1_Timer ()

If keyright=1 then x=x+1
If keyleft=1 then x=x-1
If keyup=1 then y=y+1
If keyright=1 then y=y-1

End Sub

This isn't terribly helpful for use with qbasic.... and incase anyones wondering why i'm using qbasic, its because my palmtop has MS-DOS 5.0 on it,

In june, I reformatted this computer. When I modified the startup items in MSCONFIG, i restsrted, and now, everytimne it STARTS, it comes up qwith a BLACK screen that says start windows XP, or start windows recovery console. I odn't think this is suposed to happen. It is an hp pavilion a1400e, if that helpes at all.

thx

Tick the box down the bottom to fix it that will prevent it from COMING up on start up again

Code: [SELECT]next_btn.on(RELEASE) {
_root.backgrounds.gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
}

why does it say that the first LINE has an extra character?and is that correct for ACTION Script 3.0?

I know this ISNT the right section..or i think so but it ACTUALLY is the right section..

I was wondering how i could attach COMMENTS on a picture, like a flash PIC, FIRST the pic shows hey, then, what up, then whatever....something like that.

If somebody could help me to do that I would be like really happy, the best day of my life happy... ;D Something like a tutorial?

Any examples?

I use Borland C++ 3.1 (because its small in size & gives everything a learner needs).I wanted to learn the MESSAGEBOX() so I wrote the following CODE:-

MessageBox(NULL,
"Message Box",
"Continue your ACTION",
"MB_ICONQUESTION | MB_YESNO);

How to find out what it RETURN, better if anyone gives the code.
Thanks in advance

I've been searching and searching codes to hide characters for a batch file password. Can anyone help? There are THIRD PARTY programs that can do this. A likely solution would be a C program, however you have the tools to do this yourself with a debug script:

Code: [Select]A
MOV AH,0C ;function flush buffer
INT 21 ;DOS call
MOV AH,0A ;function buffered input
INT 21 ;DOS call
MOV DL,AL ;store user input
MOV AH,4C ;function exit
INT 21 ;DOS call

RCX
14
N PSWDHIDE.COM
W
Q


The last line of the script is intentionally left blank. Save the script with a scr extension and from the command line run debug < scriptname.scr

The resulting file, pswdhide.com, can be incorporated into your batch file to mask input at the console:

Code: [Select]@echo off
set /p userid=Enter UserId:
:retry
set /p password=Enter password: <nul
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('pswdhide.com') do set password=%%i
if %password%==password goto next
cls
echo Incorrect password, TRY Again
goto retry

:next
echo. & echo You are logged in!

While all this is very entertaining, the password is hiding in plain sight. This is a definite security breach. Might be better to hide the password in a file, database or even the registry. While still not 100% secure, it should SLOW down all but the most determined hacker.

Note: if you put pswdhide.com in a directory on your path, any of your batch files can use it.

Good luck. thanks for replying to my mail, what am trying to do is to catch out the person who keeps using my laptop, i was told 3 simple batch files can help me, i have set the first but having problems with the password batch tho, i have a time log batch for when my start bar is opened, a program used batch working but the pass word batch is a bother Quote

Does anybody know how to disassemble a C++ .LIB or .OBJ file?you can use the dumpbin program to dissasemble a program.


DUMPBIN FILE.OBJ /DISASM > FILE.ASM
Is it built in(I DONT think so) or where do I find it?
oh... yeah. Not everybody has Visual Studio... DUH!


Here are a few I managed to dig up, Not sure if they'll work with OBJ or LIB.


Say- why do you want to dissassemble it anyway?Sorry, I was late.

So I have my command for drawing a line in GDI+ for visual basic .net

In this case I am drawing a graph and have a huge set of points through an array of x() and y() and this is one of my code lines -

scr_graphics.DrawLine(mypen, x(0), y(0), x(1), y(1))

The program works cool, but how MIGHT I make it so that it draws the line slowly, RATHER than it being instantly there? So maybe over a period of 3 SECONDS it draws the line?

thanks
BonesYou might try drawing the line in segments and using a LOOP to calculate the start and end points of each segment. By using the thread.sleep method you could introduce a delay between segments.

Good luck.

I have generated a GRAPH using java, but WITHOUT using any external packages like jfreechart etc. Now is it possible to add a zoom in/out feature, with or without using external packages? And how? I have GOOGLED a lot but not getting anything.

Simple graph using only java NOTHING special in that. Just how do I add a zoom in/out feature to it.

Could anyone help me detect collision between two graphical objects (a BULLET and a SHIP) [ ] in C.
A sample code is welcome.
Thanks
Please don't think this is my homework or something.
It is my personal interest.
2D or 3D

This article may help and even comes with some sample code.

GOOD LUCK. Presently 2D. Hey, thanks for the great link..
this reminds me of the nightmare I had with my kinematics program. Wasn't so much determining wether there was a collision (all objects were circles, so it was a simple distance test to see if they were closer then the sum of their radii, but rather the physics involved...

it was a great exercise, I guess- revisiting it now, I can hardly BELIEVE I spent so much time on it.Was it a nightmare or an animation?
Please explain..no- I meant nightmare as in pain in the @$$, not a dream.

Hi,

Recently, DUE to hardware changes, I can't USE my dos batch file anymore.
The only solution is to transcode the batchfile into another platform such as c++ but I don't know that language.
It's a short batch, used to search through a txt file and notify if the entered value is actually in the file.
Is someone willing to translate it or having another solution ?
Thx

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Hi, without knowing which OS you have it is hard to know which flavor of C++ should be used.

If your are using Linux, you should post on the Linux forum.

If that is all you need, C++ is a BIT of overkill If you have another option I'm listening.
The goal is to make a program similar to the one on top that works on newer hardware (palm / pda / blackberry ... whatever will do the job).
Most of those new gadgets don't work well using dos.OK, now I see whet you mean.
Some of the new hand-held gadgets use embedded Linux, but if there is no shell you can't do much.
So the word on the street is you program in java if at all possible. The is a lot of support for java and it is cross-platform. You can get better performance with C++ at the expensive maybe of less peer support.
And some say try JavaScript.
Then there are those who say write it in C.

Hi I am currently writing a program in C that is like an arithmetic system for kids. The teacher user can add,modify,delete questions from the question bank.so i have writen functions for all of these but the thing is whenever I GET to the delete function it stops running after asking the user the questions they want to delete. Like I press enter and then try one more time but it just gets stuck there no message or anything just stuck.I PERSONALLY think there is something wrong with the file openind and closing.
Below is the function, can ANYBODY pls help me and see what's wrong.

void delexpr(void){
FILE *fp;
int qno,i=0;
struct question buffer;

clrscr();
fflush(stdin);
printf("\n");
printf("%sDeleting an Arithmetic Expression from the Question Bank\n",INDENT);
printf("%s^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n",INDENT);
printf("\n");
showexpr();
printf("\n");
fp = fopen("question.dat", "rb");
if (fp==NULL){
printf("File Error!\n");
}
else{
printf("Please enter the number of the expression that you want to delete:");
scanf("%d\n", &qno);

for(i=0;i<numq;i++){
while(i!=qno){
buffer=bank;
}
}
}fclose(fp);
fp = fopen("question.dat", "wb"); //open the binary file q.dat for updating
if (fp==NULL){
printf("File Error!\n");
}
else {
for(i=0;i<numq;i++){
fwrite(&buffer,sizeof(struct question),1,fp);
fclose(fp);
}
}
TAB4;
showexpr();
TAB4;
printf("Expression Deleted!\n");


printf("\n");
}

bank is the array for the question bank and so is buffer but it is only a temporary one
and showexpr() is another function that displays all the questions.
Pls see if anyone can help me...I was thinking that maybe you are missing a #include for the fstream, but if it compiles it cant be that. Also looked at your bracers and all and I dont see any problem. Maybe someone else will point out what we are both missing here.

Ok I have been takeing a C++ Programming class through school. I am about 3/4 done with this class.

I Have made about 5 Different Text Based RPGs. What i wan to know is where do i start when it comes to makeing a 3d game. it doesn't have to be complex.

I want to know how to...
1. Load a level
2. Load a character
3. make the character MOVE around the level
4. What things i need to include in the code.

I am going to finish my programming class first because i know it will be more helpful to have a better understanding of programming before i start, but i still would like to know what i have to do to begin.

btw- I have tried getting books from the library, searching internet, asking my schools technition, but i haven't had any luck.

Please HELP!!!i did the same thing as you, did some text rpgs then began a 3d one. My advice: learn how to interface with DIRECTX or openGl first - it took me a few hours before i'd even managed to draw a 3d cube using GDI+, and then to interface with it (i tried to make it spin in various ways) i first had to learn about radians, because i know angles in degrees, then I had to learn some advanced trig functions, then the cubes ended up going WONKY, then i had to train myself to think completely differently to how I do at school with graphs because the x and y and z were inverted, and then after a week all i'd made was a cube you could walk through and turn around in.

Its a full time JOB making 3d games...

I need to know if its possible to send asm through packet small enough but still ABLE to relay information back to a remote server, and execute itself on delivery?Yes, it's called a 'virus'. Please explain why you want to know this. What do you mean by 'asm'?

sure you could send ASM through a packet. Of course the packet would then bounce off any firewall because there was no ACTIVE TCP/IP conversation, and even if there was, the receiving program will likely discard it.

This may come as a surprise, but computers don't unconditionally execute any foreign code that throws itself at any random port.

Yes, it's called a 'virus'.

I'd say a worm, since there doesn't appear to be any duplication ocurring.

Now, sending machine code, that's another thing.

This may come as a surprise, but computers don't unconditionally execute any foreign code that throws itself at any random port.

I am working on this program to calculate arithmetic questions but I seem to be havin some problem, I used typedefine to define an array and then when I use it as a function prototype it keeps on telling me that it is an illegal expression. I am posting the problematic part only the whole code is tooooooooo long like 600 lines!!!

#define MAXLEN 50

//the typedefinitions
typedef char mystr[MAXLEN];
typedef char exprstr[MAXLEN];

//the function prototypes
int precedence(mystr s); //to return precedence in terms of integers of the operator
void trimspace(char *s); // to remove the space in the input expression
void createinfix (mystr s); //create the infix expression based on the input expression
int isoperator(char c); //to check whether the CHARACTER is an operator
void dumpexpr(expr ); // display the expression for debugging
expr *convert2postfix(expr ); //convert the infix to postfix
void push(expr, int *, mystr); //push an item onto the stack
mystr *pop(expr, int *); // pop and return an item from the stack
void enqueue(expr, int *, int *, mystr); // enqueue an item to the queue
mystr *dequeue(expr, int *, int *); // dequeue and return an item from the queue
void initialexpr(expr); // initial the expression array with null strings
void copyexpr(expr,expr); //copy one expression to the other
float evaluatepostfix(expr);

The problem is with the funtion mystr*pop(expr, int *); in compilation it keeps on telling me that it is an illegal expression I just don't know what is the problem with this thing...would somebody please help me it's really starting to get to me!!!Oh and I am using lcc win32 compiler if that's any help!I have no idea what you are doing! But if I needed an function that I can not defile in the language, I would write it in machine code and put it in a library, or something like that.
Hint: If compilers bug you, don't use compilers. Write in some High Level thing that you can debug line by line. Like maybe Delphi or java or something like that. Why TORMENT yourself with C or whatever you are using unless it has an interactive debugger. Also called Interactive Development Environment. You type something and right away it shows you what is bad and what is good.
And don't do 600 lines and find that it does not work. Crunch it down to maybe 50 lines of code and test it and put it into your own library as a proven function. Number 1 I have to use C because that's the language I learned and I would totally have to rewrite the whole thing if I use another compiler or whatever. And yes I am checking the whole thing bit by bit by breaking the function and it is working just the real thing won't go any further because it is stuck at this error!!!THANKS for the advice anyway Sorry I can not help you. Can you get an Interactive C program that will show you just what is wrong? Or, do you have a 'lint' program that will nag you about your logic and structure?
A general rule is first get it to work, then make it better, faster and smoother.
Using pointers is a real chore. How about writing the program so that you use an index rather than a pointer. Or PASSING value instead of pointers? Yeah pointers are better. But index and value is easier to debug.
Also, you are using #define. That's OK, but you can get by WITHOUT it and ome C compilers can choke on it because it can not do the replacement in some cases. Instead, use a global integer and set its value in the main() part of your code. Yeah, not true blue C, but easier to debug.
What I am saying is make the code so simple and dumb that even your grandma would understand it. You can do it, just keep it simple. An even when done that way it is still smaller and faster than a high level language.
OK,I don't know what I am talking about. I just know that when you try another route, things start to work.
And I still that that you should put as much as you can into a library once it has been validated. And turn on all the debug tools of the compiler. Also, do you have some similar code that compiles perfect? Is it the compiler you always use? Are you one a new version of the OS? Does the compiler require something odd for the OS you are using? Just a thought.
Hope you get it, Maybe somebody else has an idea.

I think this is in the right section. I used VBScritp before and I was wondering if there is any way to make it so if you hit a BUTTON it can open a batch file or another program?VBScript can run an external APPLICATION through the Script Shell OBJECT:

Code: [Select]Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run(Run COMMAND, Windows STYLE, WaitOnReturn)

Example:

WshShell.Run "C:\Ad-Aware\Ad-Aware.exe",,True

Tying the button to the script is determined by where the button is.

Need more info.

okay, so the thing is i'm fairly experienced with Macromedia Flash... except for the actionscript. i have only the faintest skills of its syntax and application.

now take for example a PIN number: you need to push a combination of four digits in the correct order to pass. this is almost exactly what i need done with my flash 'game'.
i'm in the midst of creating a flash game type of thing for my website, and to enter the website you first need to click the four buttons in a particular order like its some sort of PIN.

ASSUMING the instance names (and order of clicking) are respectively button1, button2, button3 and button4, what is the actionscript i need to achieve this "PIN number" effect? I've used a password field which COULD be UTILISED as something similar to a PIN format - it just records the digits in one box in a preset order:

var myPassword:String = '1234';

submit_btn.onRelease = function (){
if (password_txt.text == myPassword) {
gotoAndPlay();
} else {
gotoAndStop();
}
}

password_txt is the instance name of the textbox I used. HOPE it helps some.thanks, pcwizard;; studying ur post is giving me a greater understanding of actionscript.. but unless i can enter digits in ur password_txt field by clicking buttons, a password field is no use...
thanks anyway pcwizard

okay, heres my idea:

if you go to my website, all that seems to be there is a brick WALL. the only way to enter the website is to click a select four bricks in the correct order.

that is how i related it to a PIN number;; the clicking four buttons in the right order part. all i need is the actionscript to make that work.

If i were to PARSE a file multiple times at one TIME, or multiple times THROUGHOUT a SESSION, what would be the most efficient WAY?

..and another hurdle to overcome!

Hi Everyone,

I am using the following code in my VB build:

DIM myProcess As Process
Dim myProcessinfo As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\processname")
myProcessinfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
myProcess = Process.Start(myProcessinfo)

myProcess.WaitForExit(360000)
If Not myProcess.HasExited Then
myProcess.Kill()
End If

Everything works ok, the process runs and if it hasn't ended within 6 minutes it's automatically stopped.

Now the problem!

As i'm using the WaitForExit command the whole build does just that - it stops, dead.
I have a progress bar and a flash advert that both stop dead in their tracks until the process is finished - not good!

Is there any WAY I can get VB to wait until the process has finished before the next step commences, RETAIN some control that prevents the process from hanging and also have animations still play?

TIA guys.I've always found the DevX site to be a good source of information. The article is multiple pages so be sure to read the whole thing.

Good luck. Duly noted - and set as homepage!!

Many thanks.
