I'm using Visual Basic 4.0 ( Unable to upgrade for reasons, to lengthy to describe )
and I'm having trouble generating sound frequencies. What I'm hoping for is to find
some sort of code solution or tips, advice on this.
A simple VB form, with a text box on it, a command button and the relevant code would be sufficient, thanks!
There are two main things I'd like to be able to do, but I'd be happy to come across solutions for either.
First;
I have an application that generates a series of numbers and then dumps these to a text file. The numbers are hertz fequency values to four decimal places. The text file will generally be comma delimited, in a format similiar to;
432.1298
256.9887
333.99
2445.77
and so on....
A text file may contain as little as eight numeric frequency values or up to three thousand.
What I want to do, is feed this text file of numbers into some sort of music generating tool, convert these numbers into actual musical frequencies and store these files as avi, mpeg, wav files, whatever. If I coudl do this in code without having to use a dedicated musical software program that would be great, but I'm open to other sorts
of solutions too.
I'd like to be able to set the time duration for how long each note in the file is played for, i.e. all note are played for 120 seconds, etc....
A 'nice' thing to do also possibly, would be to choose some sort of instrumental sound, like chimes, flute, etc as the instrument the frequencies are to be played on.
Secondly;
I want to specify exact frequencies for play back, NOT just preset values for specific tones, such as one base freq for a given note, its sharp or flat.
Want to play musical notes but NOT just on PC Speaker.
What I'm hoping to figure out;
-Allow any numeric value for frequency in hertz in the format of 888.88 as input into text box for VB application
-Value of frequency in textbox saved to a variable
-Variable passed to relevant routine or ocx component
-Routine or component plays back specific tone frequency on Sound Card (Not PC Speaker)
-Playback allows volume adjustment
I just need something basic and simple to play with to see if it will work for me, all I need is for the sample code to; Allow any numeric value in the format of 888.88 as input into text box
Value in textbox saved to a variable Variable passed to relevant component. Component plays back specific tone frequency Playback allows volume adjustment
==============
I've received a lot fo different tips and advice on how to do all this but nothing that meets all the requirements, i.e.
Hi,
I've seen your software online and noticed you were using something called MMTools to play sounds with.
I just need something basic and simple to play with to see if it will work for me, all I need is for the sample code to; Allow any numeric value in the format of 888.88 as input into text box
Value in textbox saved to a variable Variable passed to relevant component. Component plays back specific tone frequency Playback allows volume adjustment
I've listed some of the things I've already tried below and described why these won't work, and in summary they are;
BeepAPI
How to Emulate QuickBasic's SOUND Statement in Visual Basic
midiOutShortMsg and related
===============
Problem with MIDI;
Also, I love this method, but after reading all the info it looks like it won't actually let me specify exact frequencies for play back, only preset values for specific tones, such as one base freq for a given note, its sharp or flat.
Knowing how to do this is valuable in and of itself, I now can play back musical notes that sound a lot better than the PC Speaker sounds. Sadly this doesn't solve the problem I have though.... 
create wav file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following code works but won't let me specify exact frequencies, only tones
This generates a wave file (no clicks or ticks... just clear sound ):
(It makes a 1 second tone of 440 Hz)
VB Code:
Option Explicit

End Type
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Buff(0 To 44100) As Integer

End Sub
Private Sub GenerateTone(ByVal Frequency As Single, IntBuff() As Integer, Optional Amplitude As Single = 1, Optional SamplesPerSec As Long = 44100, Optional Startpos As Long = 0, Optional Length As Long = -1)
Dim K As Long, V1 As Double
Const PI As Double = 3.14159265358979
V1 = SamplesPerSec / (PI * 2 * Frequency)
If Length = -1 Then Length = UBound(IntBuff) - Startpos
For K = Startpos To Startpos + Length
IntBuff(K) = CInt(Fix(Sin(K / V1) * (32766.5 * Amplitude)))
Next K
End Sub
Private Sub SaveWaveFile(ByVal WaveFileName As String, ByRef Buffer() As Integer, Optional SamplesPerSec As Long = 44100)
Dim WF As tWAVEFORMATEX

WF.nSamplesPerSec = SamplesPerSec
WF.nBlockAlign = (WF.wBitsPerSample * WF.nChannels) \ 8
WF.nAvgBytesPerSec = WF.nSamplesPerSec * WF.nBlockAlign
Open WaveFileName For Binary Access Write Lock Write As #1
WaveWriteHeader 1, WF
Put #1, , Buffer
WaveWriteHeaderEnd 1
Close #1
End Sub
Private Sub WaveWriteHeader(ByVal OutFileNum As Integer, WaveFmt As tWAVEFORMATEX)
Dim header As FileHeader
Dim HdrFormat As WaveFormat
Dim chunk As ChunkHeader
With header
.lRiff = &H46464952 ' "RIFF"
.lFileSize = 0

.nSamplesPerSec = WaveFmt.nSamplesPerSec
.nAvgBytesPerSec = WaveFmt.nAvgBytesPerSec
.nBlockAlign = WaveFmt.nBlockAlign
.wBitsPerSample = WaveFmt.wBitsPerSample
End With
chunk.lType = &H61746164 ' "data"
chunk.lLen = 0
Put #OutFileNum, 1, header
Put #OutFileNum, , HdrFormat
Put #OutFileNum, , chunk
End Sub
Private Sub WaveWriteHeaderEnd(ByVal OutFileNum As Integer)
Dim header As FileHeader
Dim HdrFormat As WaveFormat
Dim chunk As ChunkHeader
Dim Lng As Long
Lng = LOF(OutFileNum)
Put #OutFileNum, 5, Lng
Lng = LOF(OutFileNum) - (Len(header) + Len(HdrFormat) + Len(chunk))
Put #OutFileNum, Len(header) + Len(HdrFormat) + 5, Lng
End Sub

This code works, but only allows me to generate sounds to the PC Speaker, which sounds horrible!
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function Beep Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal dwFreq As Long, ByVal dwDuration As Long) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Beep 432.8765, 1000
End Sub
================
=========================
This code works for MIDI, but doesn't let me specify exact frequencies only preset musical tones
==================
midiOutShortMsg
The midiOutShortMsg function sends a short MIDI message to the specified MIDI output device.
VB4-32,5,6
Declare Function midiOutShortMsg Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal hMidiOut As Long, ByVal dwMsg As Long) As Long
Operating Systems Supported

T = Timer
Do: DoEvents: Loop Until Timer > T + 4
midiOutClose hMidiOut
End Sub
----------------------

===============================
Again, this only works for the PC Speaker
A better beep
If you aren't satisfied with the standard Beep command (who is?) you can use the Beep API function instead, that lets you control both the frequency (in Hertz) and the duration (in milliseconds) of the beep. Note that you need an aliased Declare to avoid a name conflict with the VB command:
Private Declare Function BeepAPI Lib "kernel32" Alias "Beep" (ByVal dwFrequency _
As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long
The standard Beep command has a frequency of 440 Hertz and a duration of 200 milliseconds (more or less), so you can produce a short beep with a higher pitch with the following statement:
BeepAPI 600, 100
And of course you can even produce more complex sounds, when a simple beep won't suffice:
Dim i As Long
For i = 100 To 1000 Step 10
BeepAPI i, 20
Next

Everything you've provided examples for will only work with the PC speaker.
You'll get the greatest flexibility with DirectSound which is part of the DirectX SDK. The problem is you're using VB4. You REALLY have to upgrade. You've got to be the last person on earth using it. Let me demonstrate how far behind you are:
VB4 came out in October 1996, yes, over 10 years ago!
VB5 came out in April of 1997.
VB6 came out in October 1998.
Service Pack 6(!) for Visual Basic 6 came out in 2004.
VB.NET 2002 came out in, well, February 2002
VB.NET 2003 ...
and currently VB.NET 2005, which is about 1 year and half old itself.
VB4 simply has no support with any SDK's anymore. Any example code we give would most likely have to be rewritten because the language has advanced so far beyond what you're using.

DOUGT - Sound Working But...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I needed to be able to create wave sound files with VB 4.0. I received some code that would allow this to be done, but it only
worked for VB 6.0. With some helpful insight from DougT I was able to get it to work in VB 4.0. Am including this code below.
Dougs' "theory" turned out to be right on the nose.
I took his suggestions and made the changes and 'voila' out came a baked tone cake! Got a wave file that sounded just fine. File size about 87 kb.
So it looks like this will work just fine as he said right from the beginning.
It looks like there is still a hitch though. While the sound quality and ability to adjust it is indeed there, I'm still left needing to produce a series of these tones in one wave file. It won't actually work for me unless I can do this, I'll just end up with a whole bunch of really small wave files of one tone each, if you get my drift...
So the scenario is still, I have a simple text file that contains a variable number of hertz frequencies as numeric decimals, i.e.
234.7856 Hertz
432.56
256.01
542.1711
329.8888
etc.....
In some text files there may be only a dozen notes, but in some text files there could be hundreds.
What I intend to do is feed the text file of notes into the routine provided and use the routine to output to a wave file. So I can figure out how to set up my loops (I'm pretty sure), but the 'chunking' stuff is way over my head. Sounds stupid, but its simply the truth. I can grasp what the more complex parts of the code is doing concept wise, but it makes my head swim a little bit. I tried to figure out how to loop this on my own, thought I could loop the generate function, but it blew the stack. Also I could not join the buffs together to make a sequence of tones before writing them all to file.
So I'm stuck, ironically, with the solution in sight. I can see that the basic premise is sound, but I do not understand how to make it produce a wave file consisting of a series of tones from the input text file. I don't need to be spoon fed, but I also don't grok how to make a series of tones in the wave file..... Am I making sense?

IntBuff() As Integer, _
Amplitude As Single, _
SamplesPerSec As Long , _
Startpos As Long , Length As Long)
Private Sub SaveWaveFile(ByVal WaveFileName As String, _
ByRef Buffer() As Integer, _

and change the calling statements to include all the arguments. eg
Code:
GenerateTone 261.62, Buff, 1, 44100&, 0&, -1&
SaveWaveFile "C:\test_Wave.wav", Buff, 44100&
(The '&' after some of the values is to force them to be of type Long)

Hi,
I need to print Receipt(Bill) in VB.Net application. I created that Receipt using crystal report wizard and I put report name as myBill.rpt. My application has "Print" button. I need to print that receipt directly after clicking that "Print" button without using Crystal Report Viewer tool.
Is it possible? What are the coding I'll add to that "Print" button. Any one can help me, pls send me some sample code ?

Off course ,possible..
try this code in Print button's Click event
Dim myRpt as myBill<br />
myRpt .Refresh()<br />
myRpt .PrintOptions.PrinterName = "Path of the printer"<br />
myRpt .PrintOptions.PaperSource = "Printer tray"<br />
myRpt .PrintToPrinter(1, False, 1, 1)
hope it will work

I use vb.net to create project new website and it run completely in my client browser but when I move that project to my server and run in intranet the error is "Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'" in web.config (Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300 ) I don't know how to correct it. May I must install the other version of .NET Framework or not?
Thank you for your suggestion.

If your website is in .net 2.0 you need to have the 2.0 .net framework loaded and you need to set the properties of the site to be the .net 2.0 framework. Right click the web site select properties then go to the asp.net tab and make sure the 2.0 framework is selected.
Hope that helps.

I've tried to create website on server,but it still error. Yesterday I installed dot net framework version 2 on my server and restart the server but I observe that in the footnote of the error page it still show "Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300 " not show version 2 (version 2 is already show in admin page in control panel) Is it the cause of this errors?

I recommend doing your own homework. It tends to make it easier for you to do future homework, if you've built the foundation that your teacher intended.
If you do need to ask for homework help, try to make if of the sort where you ask a specific question and post code, not of the sort where you describe your homework broadly and show no sign of having given it any thought yourself.

Hello,
VS 2005
Strange problem with my visual studio.
I have typed datasets in the designer. I have table adapters that i have dragged from the server explorer. I have used these for the last couple of month. I have added queries, stored procedures, added and deleted fields in the table adapters.
Now, I added an extra column to one of my tables in sql server 2005. I right clicked the relevant table adapter and clicked configure, and included the extra column.
I build the program, but the changes to the table adapter does not reflect in the code. When I do the following: tableAdapter.insert() the extra column has not been included.
I tried this with another table adapter in the dataset designer by adding a new field. The same problem.
I used rebuild, i have deleted the table adapter and added a new one. I have restarted VS, and also restarted the computer. I have also opened the project on another machine. I have deleted the table adapter from the form designer and added a new one from the components tab. And still the same problem.
When I preview the data, the extra column is there. But not when I use it in code.
Can anyone please tell if they know about this problem and is there a way to solve it.
Many thanks if you can.

Hi Steve,
I have experienced a somewhat similar problem with datasets in VS 2003. Although I am still not sure how or why it happened, I managed to solve the problem by creating a new dataset with a another name and changing all references to the old dataset to the new one. So in your case for example you could delete the existing tableAdapter or keep it (same difference), and create a new one with the name tableAdapter1. Then just roam through your code and add a 1 where necessary.
Hope it helps,
Johan
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.
