How would I be able to make a program like words WORDART that has 3d text and text effects? Would I need pictures for each letter with the cool effects of is there a different way to to it?
That seems like a good idea to have pictures for each letter or number but that's a lot of pictures for capital letters and regular letters, you also would have to load each file which can take some time, so it doesn't sound so practical to do. A better option would be to make a user control that makes a picture at run time with the word art in it wand has the cool effects, a example is here

For the last couple of weeks i'v been trying to replicate the method in which Id Technologies used to hide hidden messages inside their own songs. For reference: https://youtu.be/yzFit0nldf4 .
I'm not sure if this was made by solely a software or a very smart use of heavy musical instruments, but that's what im trying to find out.
Using softwares like coagula might do a similar thing, but the brilliancy was how the coded sound was hidden. If you attempt to hear rendedered output it would sound obvious and aweful...
So, my question is: does anyone know how they did it?

I'm looking for some guidance here. I primarily am a frontend developer. What I am trying to figure out is how an algorithm can be implemented to count kernels on an ear of corn.
From my initial research it seems there are a couple of different directions to go. Main ones I have seen are a SIRF type of implementation and others call for conversion to the HSV color space or LAB color space in order to then to normalizations and then counting.
For reference usually the corn that will be counted is "dent" corn. Here is an example:
This will be implemented in VB.net, but I can always translate the algorithm if needed.
Thank you for your help!

I'm trying to make a simple background program that runs in the background using VB.NET to change anything I type to a hexadecimal value. For example, if I'm writing an email and I press "h" then it would erase the "h" and replace it with it's hexadecimal value(h's is 68). I have no clue how to do this could someone please explain?
Yes, you're looking for the Asc() and AscW() functions in Visual Basic. Combine that with String.Format() to display the number as a hexadecimal value, and key it all off a keypress event of some kind.
For best results, stick with WinForms over WPF for such an app.
If what you want is to make the thing run in the background over literally everything you may be out of luck; Windows' process separation and message passing systems will get completely in your way.

I am trying to create a simple scatter plot with PlotSymbols for when I hit a point of data. I have all of that implemented, but the line and the symbols are all one color that blends in making it hard to see the data. I know I could make the symbols bigger, but I am hoping to try and avoid that.
From the few screen shots that I saw in the examples I saw the ability to do this, but only for the ellipse symbol. Is there any way to do this for other symbols as I am currently using the rectangle.
Every plot symbol has a lineStyle and a fill. You can mix and match to get whatever look you want.

I want to write software in visual basic that reads the barcode of various items into my program. Any suggestions for how to do this?
If you have a hardware barcode scanner to hand it will almost certainly imitate a keyboard, and send the barcode as keystrokes (no special code required, just a textbox and it will put it in there once it is focused).
If you go to the manufacturers website, you will find exactly what it does, and even special barcodes for programming your scanner (such as sending newlines at the end of barcodes, etc).
Otherwise, see my comment to your question above.
You don't need code to read the barcode scanner. It usually comes into the system exactly like it came from the keyboard. Make your app work for the keyboard and you are there.
