Chike
MemberIf the S in the original code it was not noticed so far because this code is seldom used, only when a bounce or reddot is needed.
LOL the hex tip might have saved you some time but I need to inflict some hard time on you too ๐
I suggest changing flash to be UInteger ,
You would get compilation error when the high bit is set (negative number) so just add UI (like &H80000000UI)July 23, 2013 at 1:17 am #186001cyberpunk

The S was there originally but yeah I suspected that if I were to set it up to highlight someone every second the samething would happen but was no real need to test that theory out.

Yeah, I half suspected that too lol. And I understand most ppl come in here expecting you to do it all for them. I wanted to learn VB all along this was a means to that end, but yes i had a need for a mic timer too but I definitely learned more doing it sorta by myself granted not from scratch but still, I really value the lessons learned more than having a timer. but I do have fun coming up with ideas and making them work.

July 23, 2013 at 1:41 am #186000MemberYes I saw the original code, and not only the S is there but MEM_RELEASE is declared as short.
The return code is assigned to result, I wonder how Autopilot have’nt noticed it.Flags. Read between the typos.
Mosy flags are passed as DWORD which is an unsigned 32 bit integer(I stand corrected), that is UInteger.
A value like Which has it’s high bit set will cause compilation error, so just add UI at the end of the constant to fix it. e.g.const some_flag as uinteger = &HA0000000will raise error, so declare it
const some_flag as uinteger = &HA0000000UIJuly 23, 2013 at 2:08 am #185999MemberSo we can add to the list of things I learned today:
That bugs will more than likely occur in our codes no matter how good the IDE are or how much we try to keep them out. thanks again Chike, learned a lot.

MemberI think this project is over with new paltalk
November 19, 2013 at 11:38 pm #185997February 6, 2014 at 12:48 am #185996MemberFor the record, I am still using the timer with the new version, and even added an automatic volume control feature for those with really loud mics or really low mics. Unfortunately I was only able to interact with the main windows volume which if lowered too much for a loud mic it effects the audio alarm for my timer. But I had decided to flash the window when the alarm goes off as well so it is not the end of the world. I couldn’t figure out how to interact with the Paltalk room volume control. Any ideas on how to interact with the Paltalk Chat Room volume would be appreciated. I couldn’t get the handles of the volume control with API SPY as that you have to click on the icon before the control box is shown.
Anyway, I want to thank Chike, and Auto, and Departure, and loco for all the help they gave to get me this far. I learned a great deal but still have a long way to go.
February 6, 2014 at 1:00 am #185995MemberActually this project works well on the new version of Paltalk, I even added a new feature that will lower or raise speaker volume based on a preset setting for those ppl that have really loud mics or really low mic. I got tired of adjusting it myself. Unfortunately I have to do this auto-adjustment using the main windows volume control which can effect my alarm if I had to lower the volume too much. The only good thing is I decided early on to also flash the window when alarm was triggered and display the amount of time the speaker has gone over time. But this feature would work better if the volume adjustment were done using the Paltalk Room volume controls. Any idea how I can find the handles of the the room volume control? I tried API SPY but since I have to press the speaker icon to bring up the volume control I can;t get the yellow dot thing to work on the actual volume control.
At any rate, what I have works but I know it would be wiser to adjust the Paltalk volume instead of the main Windows volume.
I want to thank Chike for all his patience, and Auto and Departure for all there suggestions and teaching me the basic rule is to break the task into really small steps, and loco for making the all of this possible. Without all of your help I would have had no chance at getting this timer working and learning VB. I have a lot to learn like enumerating windows bu I still want to thank you guys for all you have done!
