Hi,all,i have projects written in vb6.0 to make it support unicode, but the richtext box have some problems in right to left layout and right to left reading order. I have tested some controls,but there is problem,like when input text mixed with ansi character,it will be in the wrong order. is there any other controls that can support unicode very well?any help will be appreciated,thanks!

AFAIK, no control supports Unicode rendering properly. It may be able to display Unicode characters, but not the complex symbols that are made by combining several other characters. In windows, you need to work with Uniscribe[^] to get a clear rendering. I am not sure how to call the methods in uniscribe from VB6.0.

Does anyone know the syntax to use timers in vb 2008? every 5 seconds i need to call a routine. If anyone can help it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
|

So open the ToolBox and drop a Timer on your form. Or were you thinking more along the lines of using one of the Timers in System.Threading or System.Timers?

Ha ha, I'm sorry I really was not specific in my question. That's my fault. In visual basic 6.0 I had a timer routine that worked fine, i would set mytimer.enabled = true and would have the interval = 5000 so it would run every 5 seconds. The routine that would run every time the timer would reach 5 seconds would call an output. The sub i wrote for that was simply:
Private sub myTimer_Timer()
call output()
end sub
This routine would run every five seconds using the timer. Now i am trying to do the same thing in visual basic 2008 and it uses something different than the Sub myTimer_Timer(). I think it uses the tick event. Well here is what i have so far and it doesnt seem to work for me.
Private Sub Form_load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)_
Handles MyBase.Load
OutputTimer.Enabled = True
OutputTimer.Interval = 5000
End Sub
Private Sub OutputTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)_
Handles OutputTimer.Tick
Call Output()
End Sub
Thanks

You also need to call the Start method on the timer or it will not start ticking.
OutputTimer.Start() in your case. Add this after you have set the interval.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

Ok thanks alot. I found another problem with my code where I completely skipped over my statements that enabled the timer. It works now haha. Thanks for the help and time, i really appreciate it.

how to use char.isdigit and char.iscontrol
to check whether entered value is number or not .
if textbox1 is blank then cursor should not go ahead means space bar in textbox1 will not allow the cursor to go ahead.
on which event char.isdigit and char.iscontrol works in vb.net.
i want to enter only numeric values in textbox1.
|
|
|
|

You can use it this way in KeyDown event:
If Not (Char.IsDigit(ChrW(e.KeyData))) And Not (Char.IsControl(ChrW(e.KeyData))) Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
'
'Show your message
'
End If
I don't use VB hence there might be a better way to write this.
It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

on KeyPress just use this code simple it will not let you enter any chars except numeric values
If (Char.IsLetter(e.KeyChar) Or Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar)) Then e.Handled = True

Hi Experts,
I am writing a code on key down event of gridview. when all the coloumn of gridview is filled and when i press F1 key code doesn't work but when i go to next row or previous cell and press F1 then the code work properly. But I want same operation without changing the cell or coloumn.
Please help me .
Thanking you,
Ajit

While Data Save, before updating to your DataAdapter, you have to send a command like a below..Select it's
FirstDisplayedcell and then update, your problem will solve.
MyDataGrid2.CurrentCell = MyDataGrid2.FirstDisplayedCell
MyDataGrid2.EndEdit()
DAD31.Update(DS31.Tables(0))

i m entering number in textbox1 only.
for that i m using
event
protected sub textbox1_keydown()
if e.keycode < 48 or e.keycode > 57 then
msgbox("only number allowed")
textbox1.clear()
end if
end sub
my problem is that still 1 character is entered using this code.
and i dont want any character to be entered in textbox but only the number is allowed to entered .and the cursor should not go ahead when blank textbox.plz solve my problem.

This code is crap, where did you find it ? Use Char.IsDigit and Char.IsControl ( the second, so that you accept keys like the arrows and delete ). Why would you clear the texbox, instead of just rejecting the key ? The keypress event has a Handled property you can set to true to reject the keypress.

This is a common problem. Break it down. First you need to know how many significant figures there are, then you read each and insert the right text. In fact, this is homework so often that there's plenty of solutions online.

Hello everybody,
I guess I could really use some strategic advice for this programming challenge: Despite having to handle several image frames with up to 12 MB each, I'm heading for optimum performance! Here are some basic questions that seem to be important in order to find the track, and I'd be happy to have some experienced comments on my ideas as well as possible alternatives... and of course additional "guru" hints and ideas 
One of the operations to programmatically do on a series of picture frames is a comparison of each pixel's value through the timeline of n loaded frames (where n should be "as many as possible"). Btw the picture files carry the pixel information in a UInt32 value with 10 bits each for RGB!
- I plan to read each pictures raw data into a 2-dimensional array of UInt32 first, and place the different pictures data into the third dimension of the same array. Is that construct a) useful for later picture transformation purposes, b) fast and c) safe enougth from the garbage collector to prevent me from memory allocation issues?
- Regarding upcoming memory issues (array size): How would I realize something like FIFO - i.e. that in a set of n frames the first frame is disposed when the n+1st frame is loaded?
- I read a bit about "cached bitmaps" which are said to boost performance, but all the information I could find was in C++  ... Is it possible to use cached bitmaps in VB, too? If yes then how would that be possible??? --> Although I guess I can't use them here (the source pic would most likely have to be converted to 8-bit and lose color detail information this way), some more information about this magic kind of bitmaps would be interesting anyway!
- Since a conversion to GDI+ standard bitmap might be too time consuming, I think I should only convert and display the data as bitmap (as far as I know I'll have to bit-shift, allocate memory etc. then) when it's really needed to see a result. Or is it the same, performance-wise?
- Would it make sense to think about threading in the context? Like letting one thread read the files and construct the array while another thread converts and displays the first picture?
It's a lot of questions, and I really hope for some hints from you to gain some security about "the right way" (programming-wise  )
Thanks ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) in advance

Hi,
here are some answers and some thoughts:
1. when performance matters, I stay far away from multi-dimensional arrays, I use one-dimensional arrays instead. A simple reason is the compiler needs to translate arr[i,j] into an address calculation that involves at least one multiplication and one addition, something like i*jmax+j (plus multiplying by the number of bytes per element and adding the base address). The next time through the loop, both i and j could have changed; when I know I am stepping one way, I can simply add a constant to the one index I have in a one-dimensional array. This wins every time.
2. If GDI+ doesn't help you in your most time-consuming part of the job, then stay away from it. A 32-bit pixel value that you understand (and GDI+ doesn't) is fine by me.
3. Storing several images into the next dimension of an array does not make sense to me, as it doesn't bring any advantage. You can keep several frames each in a separate "bitmap" arrays (not the GDI+ one), and hold these in any collection you choose, say a List. Or an array, but then it is an array of arrays, quite different from a 2-D array.
4. Assuming all images in one run have the same size, I would NOT allocate new large objects as soon as everything has been set up, instead I would reuse them; this avoids:
- out-of-memory situations and GC cycles
- possibly cache trashing
There are two possible disadvantages:
- you must make sure you don't confuse old and new images (letting them fade away and be collected is easier and safer);
- you don't get the array initialized to all zeroes (often not relevant in image processing).
5. So I would come up with a Frames class, that knows how to allocate frames initially, and can recycle frames that got freed.
6. I would absolutely apply some kind of slicing, so all the data of interest can fit in L1 and L2 caches as much as possible. So rather than performing operations op1 and op2 consecutively on an entire image, I'd rather do op1 and op2 on the top 10% of the image, then the next 10%, etc. This can dramatically improve speed for some operations.
7. I always avoid copying data. The cost of image operations can be expressed as the number of multiplications, shifts, adds and compares; these are necessary to achieve the functions you are after; copying data does not achieve a thing, so try and avoid it.
8. For performance, be aware of the difference between debug and release builds. Debug builds are hardly optimized at all.
9. In C++ you would use pointers; in C# I would consider using pointers. In VB.NET you are a bit out of luck. VB isn't very appropriate for heavy stuff, let alone image processing.
10. If you're really an advanced programmer, you would consider using SIMD (that is the vector extensions to the x86 instruction set, known as MMX/SSE/... ) for such tasks; that would normally take a lot of tedious native code, however could be controlled by a VB app. I once did a Java image processing app that generated highly optimized SSE2 code at run-time and executed it.

Thank you for the good ideas and inspirations which are valuable ! Unfortunately I'm not an advanced programmer (really  ) nor could I just switch to C# or C++, but still the task is there... so I'll have to give it a shot.
The Frames class makes a lot of sense - I already had started one, which also converts the raw data to GDI when necessary. There are still some funny results: e.g. it takes 557 ms - which I first considered slow- to read and prepare a 12MB file for display (including bit-shifting, creating the bitmap etc), while it takes 6318 ms (!) to read the same file into a pixel array and convert that for display using the exact same routines...
Do you by any chance have helpful how-to information or a link about the slicing you mentioned?

No. A Frames class handles with MANY frames.
A Frame class (without s) would handle the inner stuff of a single frame.
So a Frames class would be some collection of Frame instances, but not care about the internals of a Frame.
This is similar to a Form holding ListBoxes, however the Form doesn't do anything to the content of its ListBoxes.
Michael Schäuble wrote: some funny results
I can't comment, too vague. Performance can be very tricky, for many many reasons. A big one is: has the data recently been loaded in memory, so it still is in cache. Another is: does the code happen to be optimized (some .NET classes are, I would hope; your code may not, yet). etc.
Michael Schäuble wrote: how-to information ...about the slicing
No. It is very simple: try to do all required operations on a small set of data (a few MB at most) while it is in cache, before moving to the next chunk of data, since for most image processing, when done properly, fetching the data takes more time than processing it.

Hi all,
I am trying to create a Multi column Drop down list in VB.NET. I have tried to add an array to each data table row but was not able to get the array in the list, i only get the first value. ie. D1, D2.
Private Sub CreateDataSource()
' Populate using a DataTable
DataTable = New DataTable("Employees")
dataTable.Columns.Add("Employee ID")
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name")
dataTable.Columns.Add("Job")
Dim arr1() As Object = {"D1", "Natalia", "Developer" }
dataTable.Rows.Add(arr1)
Dim arr2() As Object = {"D2", "Jonathan", "Developer" }
dataTable.Rows.Add(arr2)
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.DataSource = dataTable
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.DisplayMember = "Employee ID"
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.ValueMember = "Name"
End Sub
How, ever the C# version of the code works fine.
private void CreateDataSource()
{
dataTable = new DataTable("Employees");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Employee ID", typeof(string));
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
dataTable.Columns.Add("Job", typeof(string));
dataTable.Rows.Add(new string[] { "D1", "Natalia", "Developer" });
dataTable.Rows.Add(new string[] { "D2", "Jonathan", "Developer" });
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.DataSource = dataTable;
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.DisplayMember = "Employee ID";
multiColumnComboBoxEx1.ValueMember = "Name";
}
Please give me some idea as to why it does not work with VB.NET.
Thanks
