Scrolling DirectX And 6 Layers In DirectX
I'm working on a game which involves scrolling as you move and I think 4-6 layers are required. I have a Ground tile, Ground2 (above ground), BGTile (above both grounds), FGTile (above EVERYTHING including you), and im not sure if your character counts. The screen is 10x10 with the size of a 32x32 pixel for one tile. i was wondering if anyone could help me with how to make SIX layers (i can understand 2, backbuffer and the mainsurfer) but not how to make 6 show up in different layers... and either going under or over you or going over one other layer or being under another layer, errr see, its complicated for me heh... could anyone help me out? i left out SOME details such as how to make the tiles show up (you click on map editor and paste into screen, ill describe for whoever would help me) in the proper areas. also i would like a 4x4 box (from the center) thats walkable without the map moving, then when u walk any further then 4x4... it pushes the map over by 32x32, and keeps going if you hold it down... i was wondering if anyone could help me do this in a.... heres the key word.... SMOOTH WAY? if you could, you could reply on here with your AIM or MSN and I can get to you or you could IM me (AIM below) I would soooooooo appreciate this and you could have some recognition in the Credits. This is an online game about to be very popular, i need to convert the bitblt 15x15 map by map by map graphics to DirectX smooth scrollable 10x10.

DirectX Ontop Of DirectX Help
Ok, let me put this in a way that won't confuse everyone...

Self-Typing
How would I make my program type things? Such as, going to another window (like Word) and typing things that I have told it to type in the code? Just wondering if this is possible, and if so, how.

Typing
Does anyone have a code that would actually type something in from a text box, for example, with trojans when you use the keyboard. (not that I have used a trojan before o.O)

Upside Down Typing
Hello. I have a very strange question: Is there any way that you can use a RichTextBox and when the user types, it shows the text vertically. Any Ideas?

With My Typing Game
i have got it set up like this

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = Asc("a") Then
If Right(Label5.Caption, Label5.Caption) = "a" Then
Label5.Caption = Right(Label5.Caption, Len(Label5.Caption) - 1)
End If
If Label5.Caption = nole Then
Label5.Left = 0
End If

and i am trying to make it to only deleate the letters if it is that leter it will deleate but the statements i have tried havent worked i am guessing because i recieved this code " Label5.Caption = Right(Label5.Caption, Len(Label5.Caption) - 1)" from this site and used it without realy understanding why the code worked just thinking it worked and it did but now i have no if statement for it to only deleate that letter

In Word: Allow Typing ,no Changes
I would like to have a document that a user can type but once info is entered changes cannot be made without a password. The catch is I need info to be entered constantly but not altered.

Formatting While Typing
Hello,

I'm doing a File Editor, where these type of files are some kind of language (A little one), but I want to do something similar to the VB IDE, while I'm writing the text I need to give different colors to the TOKEN name and the VALUE like a, here is an example that I want:

Code:
POSY = 1cm
POSX = 1cm
TEXT = 2cm®Here is the Text Value

POSX = 1cm
POSY = 1cm
POSX2 = 3cm
POSY2 = 3cm
RECTANGLE
I need to give colors to this text:

TEXT : Blue
2cm : Green
® : Black
Here is the Text : Red

How I can do this

I'm using a Rich TextBox

but if you have any different way doesn't matter please tell me how ??

Thanks
Mike

Typing Text...
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I want my program to type text outside of the VB environment... What I mean is, say I click on Notepad, then my program would start typing. By the way, I don't intend to use this for MSN or anything like that, it's a college thingy...

Typing In Listbox
Say I have a question,

In one part of my project I have a listbox that when you click in it you can type to find what you're looking for.
For example if I had a listbox with a lot of names in it and I wanted to find the name "Dulsey" I could click anywhere in the listbox and then type D U L and it will take me right there.

Now I have listboxes in other areas of my project that simply don't behave the same way. I looked at the properties and can't really find a way to control that. I know I missed something simple somewhere. Any ideas?

THanks

Thanks in advance,

Collection Typing

C = ocxCustom.CollectionOfTypes("KeyText").CollectionOfSubTypes("KeyText").Property3

Key Typing Problem
I'm using direct input to check what keystrokes are pushed, and if they are do something. Anyways, I have this code in a loop:

VB Code:
'Check for "np" If InStr(Current_Text_Position, Text, "np") Then Current_Text_Position = InStr(Current_Text_Position, Text, "np") + 2 SendKeys "{BS}" SendKeys "{BS}" SendKeys "no problem" End If 'Check for "nvm" If InStr(Current_Text_Position, Text, "nvm") Then Current_Text_Position = InStr(Current_Text_Position, Text, "np") + 2 SendKeys "{BS}" SendKeys "{BS}" SendKeys "{BS}" SendKeys "nevermind" End If

Etc.........

Anyways lets say I type, "nvm", it doesnt stop sending the keys "nevermind". Whats the problem?

P.S., I just noticed under where it checks for "nvm", it has np instead of nvm on the line below for the parameters for InStr. But the same thing happens when I type "lol" etc...

Find What You Are Typing
I have a usercontrol with the above code. It contains an array of lblEnum Labels.
I also have a richtextbox on a separate form with the myEnum UserControl on it. I want to, when the user types in the richtextbox, have a lblEnum on myEnum to change its backcolor and forecolor as seen in the below code if its .caption is the same as what the user it typing. (Im making something like the vb box that opens when you hit "."). Im using this code (The top is myEnum and the bottom is the separate form):

Code:
Private Sub richtextbox_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift as Integer)
myEnum.SendType KeyCode
End Sub

Code:
Public Sub SendType(KeyCode As Integer)
txtHidden.Text = txtHidden.Text & Chr(KeyCode)
txtHidden.Text = LCase(txtHidden.Text)
For i = 0 To lblEnum.Count - 1
If Len(lblEnum(i).Caption) >= Len(txtHidden.Text) Then
If LCase(Mid(lblEnum(i).Caption, 1, Len(txtHidden.Text))) = txtHidden.Text Then
For j = 0 To lblEnum.Count - 1
lblEnum(j).BackColor = &H800000
lblEnum(j).ForeColor = &HFFFFFF
Next
lblEnum(i).BackColor = &HFFFFFF
lblEnum(i).ForeColor = &H0&
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

But it doesn't work. Why?

Thanks

Touch Typing Tutor
How do you create a touch typing tutor program using visual basic, with a keyboard that has keys which light up when they need to pressed, possibly hands and an interesting graphic display e.g. a touch typing tutor similar in concept to http://www.flashtyping.com/

I really need some kind of tutorial that takes me through the process step by step with the code.

Thanks for any help that you can offer

User Is Typing A Message
hey,
I made a lan-chat program, and stopped at a point, you know the thing in Messengers
"User is typing a Message"
yeah, I want to make one like it, when I type a message to say at the other prog the user is typing....

I made a way and it worked....good, it was like this:
I added a timer, add this code to it:

Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If Label1.Caption = "Connected" And Text1.Text <> "" Then
Winsock.SendData "/000data"
DoEvents
End If
If Label1.Caption = "Connected" And Text1.Text = "" Then
Winsock.SendData "/111data"
DoEvents
End If
End Sub

when I connect to the other comp, label1 turns "Connected"
text1 is the place where I write.

and I added this code to the reciever:

Code:
If Left$(strData, 8) = "/000data" Then
Label3.Caption = "Sender is typing a message..."
Else
If Left$(strData, 8) = "/111data" Then
Label3.Caption = ""
end if
end if

as I said its good, but the problem is, I've added FILE TRANSFER, add with this code the file trans wont work because this keeps on sending info and it gets mix up with the file....
I deleted it and the file trans works great, but I need it
is there anyother way?

Typing Unicode Characters
Hello

I am writing a Macro for a MS-Word 2000 template and am trying to type a UNICODE character.

Character set number is 257.

If I hold ALT key and type 0255 (or less) I do get the character I expect. However if I hold the ALT key and type 0257 nothing appears. How can I add a unicode character to my Macro?

How To Prevent Typing In Combo Box?
I have a bunch of combo boxes I need to prevent typing in. They're pulling the data from tables, and the contents are managed in another form to prevent people from entering a bunch of junk. I'd like to prevent the users from typing in the combo boxes, but I don't want to lock them, as the users need to be able to change the values. Any ideas?

Text Appears When Typing
When I am coding in Access, it used to be that as I typed code, for instance:

Me.textfield

the available options would appear (pop-up) an I could select from them. Now it happens but only for a fraction of a second, then dissappears. I also noticed that after I type something, the cursor "jumps back" several spaces and since I end up with something like:

If Me.field=Ture

as opposed to

If Me.field=true

Any ideas?

Given a Data Combo Box [dcb].

Currently the user can write something in the text field or select one of the choices that are given in the combo box. I need remove the users ability to write text in the combo box so that the value that is chosen must come from the list.

You know the little cursor type thing that appears while you're typing..looks like a "|" and follows the text, well, if there anyway to get the coordinates of it, see i need it for a program where a picturebox is supposed to appear where you're currently typing, and this seems the only way. Does anyone know/have any code to do this?
