for my biology class, i made a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" clone, and a hangman game. Got an A on both... but then again the teacher was kinda oblivious to all the bugs in the programs.... let's...

Sorry it's been a while; school has been a bit much... :D :p

I guess that would work, too, linux, but what if the user REALLy needs to get to another program? ALT+TAB wouldn't work then, would...

Well i'll be! It does work! ;) Thanks.

Is that considered "true" full screen? Either way, i will use it. Thanks again!

I don't think that would work because the taskbar would stay on top of the form.

Yeah, but that wouldn't be full screen. I actually want it to fill up the screen like a game would, or like powerpoint does when you run the presentation.

What would need to be done in order to make an application go full screen? this means NO task bar, or Title bar. I did find a small bit of code (a while back), but it didn't work. Any ideas/solutions...

Umm, i don't know... :D I guess i could make "my own" media player within my program, but that won't be as fun... :)




I still don't think i am getting my point across. I want to have...

Ok, and how would i do that? :s

Thanks for the help so-far, and the fast replies!

That isn't quite what i meant. I don't want to make my own media player, i want to manipulate already existing programs, like media player, paint, notepad, etc. I want to actually be able to...

How would one control an application (Media Player) from the program being created in VB? To sum it up, i would like to control media player (Microsoft Media Player 11) from my program. When i say...

What? :confused:

How would onw send a message to another program? I googled it, but it came up with stuipd text messaging. I want to send a false message to another program. Something like sending Windows Media...

Umm, this is the VB.NET forum, right? :D Yes, yes it is for vb.net

... Ok then, does anyone know how to generate a single tone on the sound card?

How would one go about generating a set of tones (frequencys) on the sound card? What i mean by this is, how would a person generate tones at the same time? (I.E. 62hz, 100hz, 432hz, and 1000hz at...

I am sorry, but i don't follow...:-|


I was able to run the code without having the "= New ConsoleKeyInfo" there.

Ok, i figured out what the "theKey = Console.ReadKey(true)" does (that is why my code didn't work. I didn't use the "(true)".

Anyways, i still can't quite figure out what the purpose of the
...

Thank you! ;)

Now could i have you explain how it works? :)

I understand how most of it works, just not these two parts;


Private theKey As ConsoleKeyInfo = New ConsoleKeyInfo
........

It is a console app. I know how to do it in a windows app (gui), but not in the console.

Bummer. I just read a few posts on other forums, and they all said that it can not be done. :(

Is there a way i could catch the key press from a WinAPI message?

I just want to catch a single key press, and make it do something. I want it so when a key is pressed, nothing is displayed on the screen (as console.readline() does...)

I just want a silent...

I am using Visual Basic 2005 express (.net)

1) How would one get a SINGLE keypress in the console? (the equivilant to INKEY$ in QBASIC)

2) crap, i forgot my other question! Oh well. Chances...
