Visual Basic :: Sending Shape To Back During Run Time?!

Moving Shape Back And Forth
For some reason I am not getting this today. I need my shape to move left + 12 then when it reaches 3756 move backwards. Here is the code I have so far what am I missing?

[vb]
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

S_Ball.Left = S_Ball.Left + 12

If S_Ball.Left >= 3756 Then
     Do Until S_Ball.Left = 12
          S_Ball.Left = S_Ball.Left - 12
     Loop
End If

End Sub
[/vb]

Sending Data Back And Forth With Php

Sending Back And Forth To Forum
Hi. I've recently been working on a program that supports a forum. It does a load of stuff to help users there. Anyway, it was put to me about pulling off the following situation.

A user hits Reply to Thread on the internet. On that page is the usual post screen, along with a link that opens up my program. In my program they can type up their post, do markup validation and preview or whatever they like. Then, they would hit a button which would send the post content back to the original Reply to Thread screen, so they can happily hit Send knowing everything is OK.

I'm not asking for a full explaination, just some direction on what I might need to use, and specifically the location of some FAQs that I could read up to learn more about this stuff.

I've never done anything involving the internet with vb, so be kind.

Sending Active-X To The Back
I am using an active-x control on a form and want to put a shape control on top. Is there anyway to send an active-x to the back? Zorder and right-click / send-to-back do not work with active-x controls.

Thank You
Ron Robertson

Sending All Command Buttons On Top To Back
I have a form with command buttons on top of each other. When a user presses a button, I would like each command button on top of another to be sent to the back. I have to use for each statements becuase the total number of command buttons is unknown, as the user can move stuff around and put stuff on top of other buttons. I tried a bunch of things with zOrder, but nothing seems to work. Anyone with a basic idea of how to do this please help! Thanks in advance!

CGI Programs - Sending Back Pictures

DHTML App; Sending File Back To Server
Hi there,
I've created a DHTML app (an application) whose *.dll is going to output all the values from the fields of the webpage to a comma-delimited text file.

I have a module handling all the writing of the text file...my only problem is I don't understand enough to get the text file to write back to the server. I've gotten it to write locally to the end-users machine but I need to text file back on the server.

I'd use ASP for somthing like this but management is insistent on using DHTML with a VB backend.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How Do I Set The Time Back To Midnight?
I am writing some SQL scripts in SQL SERVER7.

Having used Oracle PL/SQL for my entire career, I am in the process of having to learn quickly.

I've done okay, but I can't figure out how to set the time component of a datetime to midnight (that would be 00:00:00.00 right?).

What I want to do is specify a date (for example GETDATE() or GETDATE() - 1), BUT I need the time to be midnight so that I can then add or subtract time from there.

Can someone write me a sample line that I could try out.

I'm really at my wits end......

Thanks,

How Can I Save In Run Time Back To Access?
hola gurus

i have my program working now:
got the form + an ado connection to open
the user can pick something from datacombo1 - that filters datacombo2
then pick from datacombo2 - that filters the datagrid
the correct fields are displayed on the datagrid

i've switched all the edit commands on for the datagrid + the user can change cell values at run time.
i dont know how to save them in run time back into the database though.
the program uses the cell values for calculations and if these are not updated then there's no point in having a datagrid!
i have an "ok" command button on my form for when the user is done editing the cell values... does anyone know how to save the edited information back into access? (i have only two tables on my database but they are related, if that has anything to do with anything)

thanx a bunch

How Can I Clear All Val. In A Form So Next Time It Opens All Values Are Set Back To 0
I have an order screen that is on a from but I want it to be able to close after an order is taken and when it opens back up to have everything cleared and set back to 0 or "".

I know I can do that by doing a form.hide and form.show and setting all my textbox's back to "" and clearing my listboxes...
But I was hoping there would be any easy or better way to do this since I have about 30 things in it that will need to be cleared...

It's an MDI Child fom if that helps called frmOrder

Is There A Way I Can Time A DesignMode Session, To Revert Back To NORM, In 5 Minutes?
Is there away that I can execute a timer when I switch to the design mode and have the timer set for 5 minutes to revert back to the regular Mode? I'm going to have the macro attached to a tool bar button. I've written such a code before, but can't find it. I remember how to do most all of that, including switching back to normal mode, but I NEED THE CODE, to switch to Design Mode.. My way of getting back to norm, is not real pretty, to think about, but it works just fine. - As I said, I just need to know how to get in, with code. - It is fine with me, to switch to the design Mode, with the DesignMode tool bar button, if you know of a way to have a timed return to normal, that is triggered by that action. I know how to run a timer as a seperate action, that will revert me back, but the problem with that is, I might forget to trigger that proceedure, as I won't be forced to.

The resaon that I need this, is so when I make a quick code modification to a users workstation, I won't have the possibility of getting caught in a DOWN MODE, cued by me forgeting to switch back to the normal mode. - instructing my user's on how to, is not full proof, as a few tend to forget how, and end up loosing considerable time with their tasks. (stuck in a mode(ha, ha) of being too embarrassed to ask for help.

Form "sending To Back" Without Me Telling It To
I have a problem I can't figure out. Sometimes when I click certain buttons, all of a sudden the form I am working on will be sent to the back of all other programs on the screen. I don't even know the function to do this, so I doubt I'm specifically telling it to do this. Any idea why a form would lose the focus/be sent to the back without telling it to?

Thanks,
Dallin

Making A Server; Sending On Time??
Ok, I am making a server, and I want to PING a client every 5 minutes if they havnt already send data witin that time frame. I have 300 set as seconds to send because 300 seconds is 5 minutes. The code I'm about to paste below doesnt work right. I had it almost working and then I let my friend mess with it and he added a listbox (which I dont want there). Anywyas, this only sends PING after like 4 and a half minutes, not 5, the timer interval's are 1000 and there is also a Timepout timer there to close the connection if the client doesnt respond to PING.

Code:
Private Sub tmrPing_Timer()
On Error GoTo EndError
Dim intCount&

For intCount = 1 To wsk.ubound
List1.Text = intCount
If List1.ListIndex <> -1 Then GoTo EndError

If Val(Format(Now, "MMDDYYHHMMSS")) - Val(wsk(intCount).Tag) >= 300 Then

List1.AddItem intCount
wsk(intCount).SendData "PING" & strPacketEnder
AddToLog "Server sent PING To " & wsk(intCount).RemoteHostIP
End If
EndError:
Next intCount

End Sub

Private Sub tmrTimeout_Timer()
On Error GoTo EndError
Dim intCount As Integer
For intCount = 1 To wsk.ubound
If Val(Format(Now, "MMDDYYHHMMSS")) - Val(wsk(intCount).Tag) >= 360 Then
wsk(intCount).Close
AddToLog wsk(intCount).RemoteHostIP & " has timed out. Socket closed"
Unload wsk(intCount)
Else
End If
EndError:
Next intCount
End Sub

And this is where I remove from list if data is recieved (I still dont like my friends lsit idea, I think it cna be done with just the wsk's tag):

Code:
List1.Text = Index
List1.RemoveItem List1.ListIndex
wsk(Index).Tag = Format(Now, "MMDDYYHHMMSS")

Set A Time Out On Sending A Message (Resolved)
Hi all,

I have some code that sends messages over the network for me. It works great but when it trys to send a message to a computer not on the lan it hangs for a couple of mins. Is there a way I can get it to only look for that pc for a set time?For example about 5 seconds. The code is below.

Code:
Public Function BroadcastMessage() As Boolean
'sends instant message and returns if sent or not
   Dim yToName() As Byte
   Dim yFromName() As Byte
   Dim yMsg() As Byte
   Dim l As Long

   yToName = Recipient & vbNullChar
   yFromName = vbNullChar
   yMsg = StrMessage & vbNullChar

   If NetMessageBufferSend(ByVal 0&, yToName(0), ByVal 0&, _
        yMsg(0), UBound(yMsg)) = NERR_Success Then

     BroadcastMessage = True

   End If

End Function

'Requests message to be sent
Private Sub SndMsg()
   Dim x As Boolean

   x = BroadcastMessage
   If x Then
      'MsgBox "Message Sent"
      MessageSent = True
   Else
      'MsgBox "Message Not Sent"
      MessageSent = False
   End If

End Sub

Thanks,

Network Game, Real Time Sending
How do I send the "REAL" (possibly a time since the game was loaded) time that an event is triggered over an LAN network so as to update a score and see who triggered the event first?

Game Explaination:
A circle image shows on screen, the one to click it first wins a point. Sad, yes, but it is my first network game and I don't want it to be complicated.

Sending File Chunks And Chat Messages At The Same Time
Hi,

Is it possible to send file chunks and chat messages at the same time over a single winsock connection?

I was thinking that I could add a specific label before each file chunk or chat message before it is sent, so the receiving program could use the split function to get the label and determine what to do with the data depending on the label. For example, a file chunk would look like "CHUNK" & "|" & chunk. While a chat message would look like "MESSAGE" & "|" & strMessage. While a program is repeatedly sending file chunks to another computer, how would I send a chat message string in between the time a chunk isn't being sent?

Are there any other methods of sending file chunks and chat messages at the same time over a single winsock connection?

Sending Update For Time Field To Access 2000
Hi

I have a database in Access 2000 that has a field for hour (type is Date/Time). When I read this field, all is well but when I try to update a line or to enter a new line, the field gets the time 00:00. Even if I don't change anything, it still happens. This field is defined as DateTime in the dataset table and as DBDate in the Update command that was created automatically by the wizard.

If you have any idea, please help

Making A Shape Follow A Shape

Back To Back Dependent Stored Procedures
I have two stored procedures that save data from an online credit application to a SQL Server 2000 database. The first procedure saves basic application data to an application table and outputs the application ID. The second procedure uses the resulting application ID and saves applicant data to an applicant table. I am using two tables since any one application can have two applicants (i.e., primary and co-applicant). The applicant table is the "many" relationship to the application table's "one" relationship.

The VB.Net code that I use to call the stored procedures is as follows (note: this is after I have set up the database connection and all the parameters, etc.):

' Execute the first stored procedure to save application data to the application table.

cmdApplication.ExecuteNonQuery()

' Obtain application ID from above stored procedure (paramAppID) and fill a declared temporary variable (tmpAppID).

tmpAppID = CInt(paramAppID.Value)

' Use the tmpAppID variable as the application ID for the second stored procedure.

Dim paramAppID2 As New SqlParameter("@AppID",SqlDbType.Int, 4)
paramAppID2.Value = tmpAppID
cmdApplicant.Parameters.Add(paramAppID2)

' Execute the second stored procedure to save the applicant data to the applicant table.

cmdApplicant.ExecuteNonQuery()

' Close the database connection.

conApplicaiton.Close()

If there is a problem saving data to either the application table or the applicant table, I want the entire transaction rolled back (as though it were never done).

************
Given the above scenario, what is the best method for rolling back the transaction upon failure? Please provide an example. Thank you in advance.

************

Note: I have seen the VB.Net "Try..Catch" method. However, I am not sure of how to rollback the transaction upon failure.

Playing Mpg/avi Files Back To Back Seamlessly
Can anyone please tell me how I can play mpg (or avi it doesn't matter)
files in VB and also how to play two different mpg files one after the other
seamlessly so you can't see the join?

I want to create lots of animations in mpg or avi format of a spinning coin.
The coin will have a number from 0 to 9 on the face. As the coin spins it
will show a different number each time a face is presented to the viewer. I
am going to do this by creating little animations in Cinema 4D then use VB
as a random number generator and have the program select random numbers and
spin the coins to show a different random number from 0 to 9 each time it
goes around. Obviously as I will have 10 mpg files, each one an animation of
a spinning coin with numbers 0 to 9 on them I will need to play each one,
one after the other, without there being any delay in-between each file.

Can anyone tell me how this can be done, or if indeed there is another
solution?

Thanks,

Mike

I Want My Data Back Data Back Data Back, Ribs.
The program i'm making is a data entry tool for a database.

How To Convert My GMT Time To U.S.Central Time And Daylight Saving Time
How to convert my GMT date and time to Central Standard and Daylight Saving Time.

For example I have GMT Time as:

02/29/2004 1:00:00 AM

I want as:
02/28/2004 8:00:00 PM

When I give date aswhich is falling under daylight saving time)
04/08/2004 1:00:00 AM

I want to get as 04/07/2004 9:00:00 PM

How to do that and how to determine wheather it is falling under daylight or standard time.
It should not do based on my Computer date and time though. If it is then it is going
to calculate everything based on daylight saving time because right now I'm under daylight
saving time.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Shape
