Hi Rod,
It is a CIS 108 and 213 courses where the 108 is Visual Studio 2010 and the 213 is the C++ course which does not rely on visual Studio...
Yes, it is an on-line course but next semester I could get the class room version of the next stage in the 108 version. The next step for 213 is still on-line.
If not a local person you would be paying over $2000 to take those courses. But supplying you with the homework assignments probably would be all you would need.
I have the e-books for it and have to copy and paste the pages one at a time. Once that is done then go through, (forcing me to read it,) to put return keys in lines for they did not copy the book and edit it. Also the 108 visual Basic did not do page numbers so when copying you have to insert the page numbers in it by locating the text box header at the top of each page and look at the actual page number at the top of the screen.
I could send you all the information and I could send you a copy of the book once it is all copied and edited.
Chip had given me the reference manual he found and thought he did not have.
I can also send you a zipped copy of that as well. I am using the free Visual Studio Express where when you register you are given a lovely Microsoft IP tracker or you can not register for the software. Forcing you to pay for it if you do not want to be track; I think...meaning they might still track you.
All you give to them is your Microsoft account email and password; which all you do is give or get an hotmail address, or use your email address and a new password just for that account, the rest is just filling out checkboxes for there marketing department; just uncheck those things like sending you emails and such.
The on-line course is self study. There are discussion groups but little help is given there, I just help them instead. Once in a while a good hint comes along there.
Having the book, reading the chapters and doing the questions at the end is all you do and the rest is who to ask; maybe some one on this chat group or the other App one.
Since this is all about Visual Basic and the tools.
So, stay tune, I just finished up to assignments and got a 100% again on the C++ and the professor like how I used the random number generator to make up the test data.

Hi Bruce,
Sorry there’s so much of a struggle going on for you, my friend; it seems unfair, but I suppose “unfair” is the short definition of “life,” eh? Grin. Having dealt with large institutions in my academic and vocational endeavours, I can sure understand your experience of the climate of apathy regarding accommodation: man, the blindness of the sighted world leaves them bumping into walls of consciousness. Smile. But I’m getting the warm and fuzzies to hear you shaming them, which their egos need. High five! Smile.
If you don’t mind, can you tell me the name of your course, where you’re taking it, is it online or on-campus, and all the details about it; sounds like something I’d love to suffer through – well, at least, I’d love to read the course syllabus. You see, if you saw my post on the scripting list, I’m looking for info on getting greater control of the Window sound system; so, the more info, the better. Smile.
Well, I’ll let you go for now, Bruce. Yes, I have been wondering how you are dealing with the course; it’s tough competing in the sighted world, since for everyone in that world, no one is blind. As I said, though, I’m glad you’re being such a sharp thorn in their side, and getting your needs met. Smile.
Hang in there,
Rod :)

Hi Rod,
Yes, does not college do that to you?
C++ is straight forward and can avoid the IDE. So far 100% on that course.
The Visual Basic is the most time consuming for it takes time to stop it from suggesting things and error messages; even though everything is shut off, supposedly...but I can use it's text editor now as long as I keep the errors down.
Now, this week I got into groups and the text book does not tell you how to get radio buttons into the group, or any control, just drag and drop...
So, when reading the reference manual on Visual Studio, (not provided in the course,) there is just one sentence inside the chapter on controls that mentions, "Selected group" that makes the radio button get inserted in it's group when the tool box is opened up afterwards. I spent all yesterday morning to try and get it to work and finally yesterday afternoon I found it in another book not offered nor mentioned in the course..."The Visual Basic Studio 2010 Reference Manual"
I had mentioned this to the professor and she still took credit off for it, then I sent her an email and she referenced the book and I copied back and said, it is not mentioned there at all...
So, as always, sighted people are given the options and we have to fight for them.
Anyway, I did get it right and was re-writing the project using it before the professor mentioned it in an email she sent around 6:30 last night. I had already finished and tested it. The radio buttons do show up, but hard to read the text because the image of the radio interferes when using the mouse, but there all there. Tabbing of course goes directly to text only so you can easily read the radio text.
The instructor wanted 2 columns where each is a group with radio buttons in both lists...
The only hard part is figuring out what is really being said and it is always a good idea to get more than one source for your information because sooner or mostly likely later you will get the answer.
The fun part about going to college.
Thanks Rod for thinking of me.
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Many thanks for the encouragement, and for your programming support, as well. I’m feeling pretty good about what I’ve accomplished thus far, and I’m just going to coast a bit, until I find something to study a bit more about. How’s the course you’re taking going? Are you still in it, or did it take more out of you than you could give?
Take care,
Rod

Hi Rod,
Congratulations, I understand what you are feeling because the Windoweyes VB platform makes it easy to write useful code and I do mean useful code.
If you wanted to look into some other ideas in using voice codes I had written 2 dialog boxes, one for each of my games, Trek and Battleship. I also made my own Include or external file to include script inside both dialogs to upload stuff for using the Windows SAPI stuff that I made into a class that an object can be made from.
I have an option in my Cuckoo clock program to also make voice/sound files which you may also be interested in.
You could download those scripts and study them. At the bottom of each code in the .vbs file is a procedure for extracting files and making a sub folder as well if you need to do that in the future. Along with how to run an external .exe file; which is the games written in Python.
Enjoy the new coding environment for VB is easy to use, at least inside the GW Micro environment.
sincerely
Bruce

Hi everyone!
I would like to let everyone know about a landmark event for me – the creation of my first app with an actual dialog box, namely, RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0!
The last dialog box I created was 22 years ago, using WordBasic, which was part of Microsoft Word 2.0. Back then, I had sight, and I designed a dialog box an the code for printing odd and even pages of a document because, at that time, this feature did not come with this version of Word. Anyway, the dialog box I designed worked great, but, alas, went the way of the dodo bird, since upgrades made all my work pretty irrelevant. But, it had been fun, and gave me a boost of confidence.
Well, warp speed 22 years into the future, and with GW Micro’s UI Design app, and with the wonderful help of Chip Orange and his amazing classes and examples, I finally got the chance to design another dialog box, learned how to write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little dialog into one of my apps. See the app in action yourself by downloading RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 using AppGet, or use this URL:
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Apps/App_Details/?scriptid=1388
I have also updated my RodMasterVolumeControlSuite to version 2.0 to include the update of RodMasterVolumePresetRotator, and the URL is:
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Apps/App_Details/?scriptid=1389
My sincere thanks to GW Micro for their wonderful screen reader, Window-Eyes, for their essential app designing tools like WE Script Framework and UI Design, and a heartfelt bear-hug to Chip Orange, who has been a mentor in my quest to use my PC to its utmost potential as a servant of humankind!
My best to everyone in their personal quests, and have a restful weekend!
Cheers,
Rod Hutton

box, learned how to write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little
dialog into one of my apps. See the app in action yourself by

Hi Rod,
It is a CIS 108 and 213 courses where the 108 is Visual Studio 2010 and the 213 is the C++ course which does not rely on visual Studio...
Yes, it is an on-line course but next semester I could get the class room version of the next stage in the 108 version. The next step for 213 is still on-line.
If not a local person you would be paying over $2000 to take those courses. But supplying you with the homework assignments probably would be all you would need.
I have the e-books for it and have to copy and paste the pages one at a time. Once that is done then go through, (forcing me to read it,) to put return keys in lines for they did not copy the book and edit it. Also the 108 visual Basic did not do page numbers so when copying you have to insert the page numbers in it by locating the text box header at the top of each page and look at the actual page number at the top of the screen.
I could send you all the information and I could send you a copy of the book once it is all copied and edited.
Chip had given me the reference manual he found and thought he did not have.
I can also send you a zipped copy of that as well. I am using the free Visual Studio Express where when you register you are given a lovely Microsoft IP tracker or you can not register for the software. Forcing you to pay for it if you do not want to be track; I think...meaning they might still track you.
All you give to them is your Microsoft account email and password; which all you do is give or get an hotmail address, or use your email address and a new password just for that account, the rest is just filling out checkboxes for there marketing department; just uncheck those things like sending you emails and such.
The on-line course is self study. There are discussion groups but little help is given there, I just help them instead. Once in a while a good hint comes along there.
Having the book, reading the chapters and doing the questions at the end is all you do and the rest is who to ask; maybe some one on this chat group or the other App one.
Since this is all about Visual Basic and the tools.
So, stay tune, I just finished up to assignments and got a 100% again on the C++ and the professor like how I used the random number generator to make up the test data.

Hi Bruce,
Sorry there’s so much of a struggle going on for you, my friend; it seems unfair, but I suppose “unfair” is the short definition of “life,” eh? Grin. Having dealt with large institutions in my academic and vocational endeavours, I can sure understand your experience of the climate of apathy regarding accommodation: man, the blindness of the sighted world leaves them bumping into walls of consciousness. Smile. But I’m getting the warm and fuzzies to hear you shaming them, which their egos need. High five! Smile.
If you don’t mind, can you tell me the name of your course, where you’re taking it, is it online or on-campus, and all the details about it; sounds like something I’d love to suffer through – well, at least, I’d love to read the course syllabus. You see, if you saw my post on the scripting list, I’m looking for info on getting greater control of the Window sound system; so, the more info, the better. Smile.
Well, I’ll let you go for now, Bruce. Yes, I have been wondering how you are dealing with the course; it’s tough competing in the sighted world, since for everyone in that world, no one is blind. As I said, though, I’m glad you’re being such a sharp thorn in their side, and getting your needs met. Smile.
Hang in there,
Rod :)

Hi Rod,
Yes, does not college do that to you?
C++ is straight forward and can avoid the IDE. So far 100% on that course.
The Visual Basic is the most time consuming for it takes time to stop it from suggesting things and error messages; even though everything is shut off, supposedly...but I can use it's text editor now as long as I keep the errors down.
Now, this week I got into groups and the text book does not tell you how to get radio buttons into the group, or any control, just drag and drop...
So, when reading the reference manual on Visual Studio, (not provided in the course,) there is just one sentence inside the chapter on controls that mentions, "Selected group" that makes the radio button get inserted in it's group when the tool box is opened up afterwards. I spent all yesterday morning to try and get it to work and finally yesterday afternoon I found it in another book not offered nor mentioned in the course..."The Visual Basic Studio 2010 Reference Manual"
I had mentioned this to the professor and she still took credit off for it, then I sent her an email and she referenced the book and I copied back and said, it is not mentioned there at all...
So, as always, sighted people are given the options and we have to fight for them.
Anyway, I did get it right and was re-writing the project using it before the professor mentioned it in an email she sent around 6:30 last night. I had already finished and tested it. The radio buttons do show up, but hard to read the text because the image of the radio interferes when using the mouse, but there all there. Tabbing of course goes directly to text only so you can easily read the radio text.
The instructor wanted 2 columns where each is a group with radio buttons in both lists...
The only hard part is figuring out what is really being said and it is always a good idea to get more than one source for your information because sooner or mostly likely later you will get the answer.
The fun part about going to college.
Thanks Rod for thinking of me.
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Many thanks for the encouragement, and for your programming support, as well. I’m feeling pretty good about what I’ve accomplished thus far, and I’m just going to coast a bit, until I find something to study a bit more about. How’s the course you’re taking going? Are you still in it, or did it take more out of you than you could give?
Take care,
Rod

Hi Rod,
Congratulations, I understand what you are feeling because the Windoweyes VB platform makes it easy to write useful code and I do mean useful code.
If you wanted to look into some other ideas in using voice codes I had written 2 dialog boxes, one for each of my games, Trek and Battleship. I also made my own Include or external file to include script inside both dialogs to upload stuff for using the Windows SAPI stuff that I made into a class that an object can be made from.
I have an option in my Cuckoo clock program to also make voice/sound files which you may also be interested in.
You could download those scripts and study them. At the bottom of each code in the .vbs file is a procedure for extracting files and making a sub folder as well if you need to do that in the future. Along with how to run an external .exe file; which is the games written in Python.
Enjoy the new coding environment for VB is easy to use, at least inside the GW Micro environment.
sincerely
Bruce

Hi everyone!
I would like to let everyone know about a landmark event for me – the creation of my first app with an actual dialog box, namely, RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0!
The last dialog box I created was 22 years ago, using WordBasic, which was part of Microsoft Word 2.0. Back then, I had sight, and I designed a dialog box an the code for printing odd and even pages of a document because, at that time, this feature did not come with this version of Word. Anyway, the dialog box I designed worked great, but, alas, went the way of the dodo bird, since upgrades made all my work pretty irrelevant. But, it had been fun, and gave me a boost of confidence.
Well, warp speed 22 years into the future, and with GW Micro’s UI Design app, and with the wonderful help of Chip Orange and his amazing classes and examples, I finally got the chance to design another dialog box, learned how to write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little dialog into one of my apps. See the app in action yourself by downloading RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 using AppGet, or use this URL:

I have also updated my RodMasterVolumeControlSuite to version 2.0 to include the update of RodMasterVolumePresetRotator, and the URL is:

<DIV>I would like to let everyone know about a landmark event for me – the
creation of my first app with an actual dialog box, namely,
RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0! <IMG

<DIV>The last dialog box I created was 22 years ago, using WordBasic,
which was part of Microsoft Word 2.0. Back then, I had sight, and I
designed a dialog box an the code for printing odd and even pages of a
document because, at that time, this feature did not come with this
version of Word. Anyway, the dialog box I designed worked great,
but, alas, went the way of the dodo bird, since upgrades made all my work
pretty irrelevant. But, it had been fun, and gave me a boost of
confidence. <IMG

<DIV>Well, warp speed 22 years into the future, and with GW Micro’s UI
Design app, and with the wonderful help of Chip Orange and his amazing
classes and examples, I finally got the chance to design another dialog
box, learned how to write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little
dialog into one of my apps. See the app in action yourself by
downloading RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 using AppGet, or use this
URL:</DIV>
