VB Help

[narzy]

ok so I want to make an annoying program because I am bored. I want to make a picture box move (scroll) from the top of the form to the bottem then back to the top and down again in an infinate loop. here is what I have on the picture code... just need to know how to get the location to move

Dim varloop As Integer
Dim iloop As Integer
Dim ilooptwo As Integer
PictureBox1.Location(what goes here?)
For ilooptwo = 1 To 3 Step -1
varloop = 1

For iloop = 1 To 24 Step 1
varloop = varloop + 1
Next iloop

Next ilooptwo


give a bro a hand 😉

I got it
<marquee direction=up loop=infinite>

this is visual basic, an application not a website.

That's one of the properties for it - can't remember the name - click on the box and properties on the side you can see a bunch like height, width and the vertical position and the vertical position is the one to manipulate.

 

[narzy]

ya, it doesnt like you using varibles in the properties box.

 

[StageLeft]

But the properties box will tell you what the property is called like verticalposition and then:

picturebox1.verticalposition = 500

to set it in code.

Don't forget to refresh the box, or else you won't see any changes until the end of the procedure.

I made that mistake when I was programming a simple slot machine. Took me a while to figure out why the slot face goes directly to the final fruit instead of 'spinning'.

Sorry if I had vb in front of me I could see what's up but alas I don't 😉

how?

Isn't it picturebox1.left to control the horizontal position and picturebox1.top to control the vertical position?

Yeah, that's what I thought also.

Something like picturebox.refresh

What version VB are you doing?

 

[narzy]

.net

 

[Shelly21]

Ok, to refresh the display it'd be

object.refresh()

Where object is the name of the object that contains PictureBox1.

From looking at your code, you have to do it after every change in the position to be able to see it move.

Eh? I can describe what I'm doing right now, maybe that'll help.
