Right now im trying to build a tile creation program for a c++ game project im doing in my basement. and for this tile creation program im using visual basic 2008 express (9.0), but not having much more experience than the complete web browser tutorial with direct sound project im at a loss for knowing how i can make image box's appear on the screen when and where i click. i do already have it showing where the user clicked, and i do have saving stuff accomplished, so i was wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem, or show me a link that can help on the matter.

thx

while we're still in this thread and its still near the top of the forum, is there a way to make visual basic write to a new line upon saving, maybe an escape sequence? or a different function other than writealltext? in my stupidity i already tried the newline escape sequence for trying to write to a new line(the \n)

the issue is that the fstream library in c++ will be reading the file untill it gets to the end of it, and it will be much harder to make it loop a certain number of times rather than have it simply get a line and go on with life, so if anyone could tell me if this is possible and/or/both how, that would be awsome >:D lol, thx

Code:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(Application.StartupPath & "\test.txt", FileMode.Create)
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs)

sw.WriteLine("This is line 1")
sw.WriteLine("This is line 2")

sw.Close()
fs.Close()

vbCrLf or vbNewline

VB.NET, so it would be System.Environment.NewLine.

can you not just write the binary character for a new line into the string? Is it CHR$(13)

But there's two aren't there? Carriage Return + Line Feed. Is one 13 and one 14. Can't remember which. :confused

Let me consult my ascii wall chart...


... ok
13 = Carriage Return
10 = Line Feed

You might need to add them both in this order.

The intellisense/help popup for VB.NET's MessageBox function gives you an example of using Chr(13) & Chr(10).

But you only have to type about 4-6 of them and it's more immediately understandable.

People most always write out the whole name when writing to others, but in practice, you will usually never write out the namespace, just "Environment.NewLine". But yeah, it can be pretty cumbersome at first. Luckily I have ReSharper, so I never have to memorize what objects are in what namespaces. :P
