Visual Basic :: Random And Sequential Slide Show

Slide Show
I am having trouble making a simple slide show using a timer. I set my interal at a second and set enabled as false till i hit the command. I saved my pictures under a common name (Bpic in JPEG) on my E drive. I think my code to call the pictures is incorect. Any help would be very appreciated. So far my code is this:
Dim counter As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Timer1.Enabled = True

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("e:\" & bpic & ".jpg")

counter = counter = 1

End Sub

VB Slide Show
Guys I'm trying to program a slide show using VB 6.0.

I'm using a picture box to dispaly the images and a timer control to to set the interval of the pictures. I also want a vertical scroll bar to adjust the speed at which pictures are displayed.

I know I should probably is a array to accomplish this. I have 10 pictures I want to use for the sildeshow. My problem is i really dont know where to begin.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I am brand new to programming and need all the help I can get.

Slide Show
I was wondering if there is a way to display multiple pictures in a single form. I have 24 pictures that I would like the user to be able to scroll through using the arrow keys on the handheld. I want to try and minimize the amount of work I have to do. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this without placing 24 pictureboxes on the form and changing the focus. Example code would be appreciated since I am very new to VB and eMbedded VB.

Slide Show Or Animation
I am going to integrate a slide show or animation type demonstration in a program that i'm making. The demonstration doesn't have to be smooth animations because it's more of a slide show than a smooth animation.

What is the best way to present this? The following is a list that i've thought up. Please choose the best one or give me your idea for the best way in terms of system resources and whether it's hard to do.

Imagebox control and just update with pics

Making A Slide Show?
How can you make a slide show with a bunch of pictures without having to refer to the file path? Is there a way you can put the pictures in an array of sum sort?

I have cut and pasted a picture into a Picture box control. But I would like to have a bunch of pictures you can view by just clicking a button. Does anybody have any ideas?

I am using jpg files.

I wrote a Macro in VBA code which will be repeatedly run when the PowerPoint goes to the slide show model. TO do that I used a Do ... While True loop. But when I exit the slide show model, the macro keeps running and will give a run-time error. Is there any way the VBA code can find the PowerPoint has exit the slide show model? Thanks a lot!

Is There A Way To Tell When A PowerPoint Slide Show Actually Starts?
I’m using the following code to run a large PP slide show. There is a finite amount of time between when the program gives the command to start and when the show actually starts (2-3 minutes in my case) I would like to play some background music during this time. Is there a variable that I could monitor to determine when the show actually starts? Or maybe some other method of doing slide shows with VB that would give me that capability.
VB Code:
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)Private Const RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED = &H80010001 Sub RunSlideShow(ByVal S As String) Dim PPT As Object Dim Pres As Object Dim SSW As Object Dim State As Long On Error Resume Next Set PPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application") Set Pres = PPT.Presentations.Open(S, False, False, False) Set SSW = Pres.SlideShowWindow If SSW Is Nothing Then Set SSW = Pres.SlideShowSettings.Run End If State = SSW.View.State Err.Clear Do While (Err.Number = RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED) Or (Err.Number = 0) DoEvents Sleep 1000 State = SSW.View.State Loop Pres.Close PPT.Quit Set Pres = Nothing Set PPT = NothingEnd Sub

How To Create A Slide Show With Pics From A Folder
Hi,

What I want to do is have my aplication to scan a folder, get all the images that are in it and display them on a picturebox, and as the user presses the Left and Right Arrows, it will run through the pictures (like the Picture Viewer in WINXP). When the user presses the right arrow, it will go forward, left will go back the list.

How do I do it??

Thanks,

Delay Starting Slide Show In Powerpoint
I use pcAnywhere to remotely control another computer running a Powerpoint presentation 24/7. When I disconnect the pcAnywhere, it turns off the Powerpoint presentation as well.

Powerpoint uses macros which uses visual basic.

I want to be able to activate the macro, which will turn on the presentation. I need to have enough time to disconnect the pcAnywhere program. I need a delay of about 15 seconds or so.

Sub StartShow()
'
' Macro recorded 2/19/2007 by DHW
'

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
.ShowType = ppShowTypeSpeaker
.LoopUntilStopped = msoTrue
.ShowWithNarration = msoFalse
.ShowWithAnimation = msoTrue
.RangeType = ppShowAll
.AdvanceMode = ppSlideShowUseSlideTimings
.PointerColor.SchemeColor = ppForeground
.Run
End With
SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.PointerType = ppSlideShowPointerAlwaysHidden

End Sub

Any ideas?

Looking For Suggestions On A Simple Slide Show Program I Wrote
I created this slide show program last year, but over the last couple days I started updating some of the features and fixing some problems with it.

I'd like to hear some of your opinions on it. Let me know if you find any problems with it. If you think that a new feature should be added then let me know and I will see if I can integrate it.

I just spent the last hour adding comments to it. If you see any of the code and want to copy it then go right ahead. Not that any of it is that great. If there is something that I do in the code that is horrible or inefficient then tell me and I will fix it.

Thanks.

PcAnywhere Turns Off Powerpoint Slide Show Upon Disconnect
My idea didn't work after all. A script was developed that tells
Powerpoint to run a slideshow 15 seconds after it is told to
run. This would allow time to "disconnect" pcAnywhere, with the
hopes that the slideshow would not stop running as well. The
slideshow ends up running, but not in full screen mode.

Something else has to be developed. Such as a script that when
started opens up Powerpoint, then the file, then starts the
slideshow, then makes adjustments in the settings. This must be
possible.

Can anyone come up with a way to do this?

Starting A Slide Show As The File Opens.. Vba Powerpoint

Random Or Sequential??
Hi there,
My program writes a list of URL's to a file and then retrieves them every time my program starts. My program then populates the URL's into a listbox.

Am I best using random or sequential file access??

Many thanks

Jordan

Random Or Sequential
which is faster? better?

i figured random access was better because you could reference an item by its position in a file-- read and write over that position. but you lose the ability to compact the file down-- like in sequential everything is just one long string-- with random if i dont give it a length the line is padded with spaces or whatever-- i mean is there a way to make random access files more efficient? like is there an issue with me writing a sting *5 and then replacing that string with a string*8 for example? the problem is not all strings will be the same length..

i guess im just looking for some direction with this issue.. lol if i made any sense at all..hehe

A File Random Or Sequential??
Hi People,

I need to pick your brains, I am designing a program at the moment and i'm a little stuck, I am a newbie to Visual Basic 6.

I have a file which looks a little like this:

15/03/2003,47,28,4,25,38,24,11
12/03/2003,33,16,6,37,40,41,25
08/03/2003,32,5,8,6,33,41,15
05/03/2003,23,8,3,34,46,12,24
01/03/2003,29,31,45,44,22,24,35
26/02/2003,38,5,40,34,18,45,22
22/02/2003,30,19,42,33,38,44,31
19/02/2003,35,10,1,4,28,17,32
15/02/2003,32,4,20,48,49,44,27
12/02/2003,35,18,17,12,30,20,49

As you can see each line has commonalities, i.e. the first part is always a date, then 7 random numbers. What I need to do, is i need to know how i can access this file and write to it, in a form of some kind, I need to see what data is already present in the file.

Any ideas.

Random Or Sequential-access Files?
Well, I am in the long process of making a chat program and I have a server and a client. The server will have a list of all the registered users and certain info about them, such as: name, password, ip, local host name, etc. Every time that someone new registers I want the info to be added to the end of the file. And when I start the server, I want to load all the info onto a list. But here is where I am stuck. Should I use random-access files or sequential-access files? With random access, I could just load each record and put it in the list with the split command and what not, but when I load each record and I make my For loop, what number do I go to, how do I know how many records there are in the file? Thanks for any help...

Searching A File - Binary, Random, Sequential?
I've got a project to do and I need to search through files. I've done this a few times before, so I know how it works with text files, but the file I'm working with is not a text file.

Although I can open the file with notepad, and see the text that I need to extract, I still can't get to it through VB. The text I need to extract is mixed in with various symbols like below:

^%*((%#^images/astro/pack_in.jpg!#$$%*(

The problem is that the symbols above are still text symbols, but the symbols in the actual file cannot even be copied and pasted here.

I'm hope I'm making sense here, and that someone can help me out.

Thanks,
Hicks

Converting From Sequential To Random Using An Access Database
Ok, here's my migraine, I've done the coding to this application to access sequential files, I'm further down the road on my course and I have been given a pre-designed access database incorporating all the sequential .DAT files, I've gone through my books and over examples and I still can't grasp the conversion process. Does anyone know of any sites out there that might be able to help me? or maybe a tutorial? I could even attach the files (its a small app) if that might benefit me. I just desperately need understanding on converting all the WRITE, READ, INPUT into ADO style commands.

Thank you

Show Random Stored Number
I have a button and a text box, I want it so when they click the button one of the group of numbers I have stored in it will show.

So lets say I have theese numbers as an example: 32154, 76783 and 11215, I click the button and than the number 76783 comes up, so I click the button again and I get 32154 I click again and I get 11215 and I click again and I get 32154 again since it only has those 3 groups.

I was thinkin maybe variables? and sum how set it to randomly show? I dont know howto exactly, I am sure it has been done before though.

Random Refresh Of Drawing Surface Causes Background Color To Show
I'm using directdraw7 to display my game. I'm having an issue when the game is windowed.

My render chain works like this: back buffer->front buffer (associated with picturebox)

I've just noticed that occasionally - say, once every ten seconds, the picturebox that I'm blitting to will 'refresh' and re-paint itself... displaying the background color that is normally behind the game graphics.

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Alternatively, I suppose I could use the BltToDC function, and draw directly from the back buffer to the picturebox... is this slower than the normal process?

Slide Bar
Is there some kind of equivalence to a slide bar in VB 6? I'm trying to zoom in on a graph that's in a picturebox and it needs to be periodic, not at all once. thanx.

Getting To The Next Slide In PowerPoint
I have seen several instances of code that allows you to advance to the next slide in PowerPoint, but all of these instances require that you be in Slide Show mode. I am looking for a way to advance to the next slide while outside of the slide show so I can then have visual basic delete and modify objects on the next page, which doesn't work if you are viewing the slide show. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Slide Form
Hi all,
How I do to slide a form in a screen?
As the start menu in windows?
I need to put a command button, and when it's clicked, a form apears sliding, as a start menu....

Slide Effect
Using a timer control and a text box control, how could I create a slide effect for text shown in the text box, similar to the <marquee> effect in HTML.

Actual code would be good.

At the moment I am using the Mid() function with an integer, that tracks the leading character each time, the timer runs.

Code To Go To Next Slide
Does anyone know the code I could add to a command button to move to the next slide in power point?

e.g/
After entering data off in a form in slide 4, pressing commandbutton_8 and being able to enter the dat into slide 5 then.

Any help appreciated as I am fairly new to code.

Add A Slide Module To The VBE With VBA
I would like to be able to programmatically create a PowerPoint Slide object in the Visual Basic Environment. Since this code will need to reside within or be activated by the slide, I would like to know how to programmatically add a Slide Module to the Visual Basic Editor. I already know how to add code to an already existing Slide Module from a remote application, but not how to add the actual Module. I thought that by adding a new slide the corresponding code module would be created. Below is the code I use to add code from another application. Trying to use the Add method ends with no results; no error or Slide Code page.

Code:
objPPTApp.VBE.VBProjects("PPTWeb").VBComponents(1).CodeModule.InsertLines(1, strCode)
