• MauriceR Voice Recognition

  I've been reading a lot of web pages that tell you how to do voice recogntion things, and all of them say to select the Microsoft Speech Recogntion component thing, but I can't find it! Where is it, and can someone point me in the direction of a good article on how to do voice recogntion things in Visual Basic (Unless someone wants to list the code here, but I doubt that. ) Thanks! You need to install the speech sdk 5.1 or .Net Framework 3.0 but you can use both with visual basic express. Thanks, Kyle. You told me what I needed to know. I'll tackle the coding later, I just wanted to find the component selection thing. I have the SDK AND the .NET framework V3, so I should be okay. Thanks again every ...Show All

• mthompson125 Need To Create Search Bar For Database

  Greetings, I am completely and utterly amazed at the lack of information on how to create or employ a search bar. This is the one simple attribute that has made the internet what it is today. Nearly every program I have ever used has a search bar which, when data is entered into the textbox and the search button is clicked, it returns matching criteria. However, I have searched (Imagine That) Google, Yahoo,LearnVisualStudio.net, MSDN, and Help for three days on how to create such a simple procedure and have found nothing. What I need to do: I am creating a database where I have all my Employees Information which includes columns: [Employee Number], [Emloyee First Name], [Employee Last Name], etc.... I have created the database and ...Show All

• Dlloyd Search Function

  Hi First off, i'm completely new to visual basic. I have a basic access database for making orders for a made up company and I have made an Order Form.

• nazdrug06 Drop Down Item Mouse Hover

  I am using a context menu in a text box, and have a menu item called 'Quick BOM' - when the user hovers the mouse over this, a drop down menu for 'Quick BOM' opens that is dynamically created from an SQL query that populates this according to the part number in the text box. This all works fine. The next function I want to add is for an event to be called when the user hovers the mouse over the new drop down menu that will allow me to do further analysis of this part number (such as recall a description and place in a label field). There is a DropDownItemClicked event, but what would be most useful is a 'DropDownItemMouseHover' type event. Any suggestions on how to create such an event - the menu contents will change ...Show All

• cmfairbank Trialware timeout

  What is the best method to make an application timeout after a given amount of days since install our use unless the product has been registered Thanks take a look at the shareware starterkit, it should give you a few pointers http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/starterkits/default.aspx Cathal You could use a registry key and read in that key to see howmany days, hours or startups are done. Or you can make a file if your program firsts starts up. Encrypt this file or write into it in something that isn't directy readably by a text editor. Both methods work but are really easy to 'crack' if you don't protect the data inside well ennough. ...Show All

• danni123 How do I copy bitmap data to a buffer?

  I have an application that displays some images using PictureBox. There is a requirement to toggle between colour and monochrome or grey-scale versions of the image, so I've created a class derived from PictureBox that contains extra bitmaps that hold the various versions of the image, and then when the user switches between them, I just assign the relevant bitmap to the PictureBox. When the image is first loaded, the application generates the monochrome and grey-scale versions from the loaded colour version. This is where the problem lies. For each version of the image, I make a clone of the original, and then loop through X and Y, using GetPixel and SetPixel to change the colour based on a conversion formula. That also works ok, b ...Show All
