This control makes it very easy to add a horizontal split bar to your application. Eventually this control will include vertical splitbars as well. To use this control: 1. Place the control on a form. 2. Place controls above and below the splitbar control. This control needs at least one control above it and one control below it to function. The idea is that instead of using code to set the maximum and minimum scrolling positions controls are used instead. This makes it easy to visualize the range of motion for the control. Also, you can reposition the controls in response to form resize events, and the splitbar will use the new positions. Controls that are used only for setting splitbar ranges can be hidden at run time. In the future I will probaly change this so that the splitbar uses its current position for the maximum top or maximum bottom position if no controls are added to the top or bottom. 3. In the form load event add references to the controls to the splitbar using the AddControlTop and AddControlBottom events. i.e. splitbar1.AddControlTop Text1 splitbar1.AddControlBottom Text2 splitbar1.Update Calling splitbar.Update will align the bottom of all TopControls controls with the top of the splitbar and the tops of the BottomControls to the bottom of the splitbar. Known bugs. 1. Currently the splitbar control brings itself to the top when a user moves it. This was intended to make using the control easier, but it will hide any labels contained in the control. I think thats it, if you find more please let me know. Also, please send me any ideas you may have to make this control better.

first, my apologies for my bad english, hehe. this example demonstrates how to accept only numbers in a textbox control with ONE LINE OF CODE AND FAST CODE. * MUST SEE *

A UserControl made with a VB6 Treeview control (MSCOMCTL.OCX - 6.00.8862) with customized Background (Color, GradientRectHor, GradientRectHor GradientTri, tiled Picture), Backcolor, Forecolor, Buttons, Tooltips etc.

Drop in OCX control adds an alpha-blended shadow to the bottom and right borders of the containing form. No properties to set or code to add! Just drop and go. Fixed in 1.1 - Shadow artifacts are no longer left on forms brought to the foreground and the shadows are now correctly repainting when bringing the containing form to the foreground.

This is an amazing spiral creator. So simple yet so complicated! Look what you can do with a simple PictureBox! Look for yourelf in my screenshot! Please also vote and add comments =)

Ever wanted to rotate your text this is the code for you. Its pretty cool!!! Plz vote & comments =)

Whant to make your form on-top of of all other applications, well this is the code for you!

INTRODUCTION: I searched a lot For articles about VB & Midi, found some, but mostly they only handled short messages, the easy part. Here I needed To go further To solve a problem I had. The project turned out To be a bit sizy, but it embeds a lot of knowledge that was hard To find. So it could mean a great deal To someone starting With programming midi. The main objective was To automate convertions of Roland SC-55 System Exclusive Bulk Dumps into a shorter alternative, using as much short messages As possible, so other modules can receive the messages too. Other features are mixing the SC settings, generate fade In/outs, Read & write midi, more Or less wysiwyg printing of the dump values, midi piano, midi thru, etc. PURPOSE: Analyse SC-55 System Exclusive bulk dumps Generate alternatives for this huge bulkdump in case a high percentage are default data Edit the Sound Canvas settings ENVIRONMENT: This is a VB5 project. Since the WebBrowser control is used (provided with Windows 95) it can be run under Windows 95, but Windows NT doesn't install this control (~ SHDOCVW.DLL) automatically, so there you should find a way to install it yourself. No other (than basic VB) controls are used.

Get the RGB value of a color under your mouse pointer! Really usefull for image editing programs! Enjoy :)

Ever wanted to make a cool shaped form....well....this code is for you. Just look at the screenshot. Oh and, don't feel obligated to vote!Thanx yall!(inspired by previous PSC entries.)

Give Runtime IDE Control ReSize Functionality. ActiveX control attaches to any control. Provide Size and Move with anchor points with a single line of code. Provides Font Dialog Via right Click.

Resize controls in the same manner as the IDE at runtime

Hi! So here I am again .. first of all let me tell you that this code is done by taking lot of help from various programming ideas that are available on the net .. by that I mean .. like the use of Image ComboList ... adding images to the ImageList at runtimes and stuff ... but anyway the idea behind his code is very much mine and till now I have not found anyone coming up with this idea of making font selector .. if there are codes with my idea then I beg pardon it is only coincidence and not my fault .... Well it is basically a font selector like you see in Microsoft Word or something where there is a preview of the fonts that you are selecting .. it is cool please download it to get a feel of what is going on ..... I have not made very detailed analysis of the code as it is very clearly Understood. I have used very long names for objects as I am feeling little down today and I don't know what to do .. so some crazy things like long variable and controls name .... Anyway I hope you guys like it and use it where you want it to and please vote for me if you like it ... Thanks .... 'Biswajyoti Das ([email protected])

a Liquid Character Display with the ability to display a picture too. check out picture. Some Bugs fixed and the ability to load an external "charset" from a bitmap (2 included samples. 1 with 126 chars and the other with 255 chars). Any feedback is welcome (good and bad). If u fix a nice charset for it i'd like to have it so it might be included in next releases. Please vote for the original posting at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=32233&lngWId=1

a Liquid Character Display with the ability to display a picture too. check out picture. BIG thanx to Omar Al Zabir for his HIve class and to Manuel Augusto Santos for his Fast Graphics Filters (partly used). ANY feedback is welcome.

This class allows you to replace the standard Visual Basic menu with one that supports many more features, some of which include: Addition of bitmaps or icons to menu items (supports any size). Optional MonoDefault state will only colorize icons of menu items that are selected (a la Outlook Express) Extended keyboard shortcut keys, using Ctrl+, Shift+, Ctrl+Shift+, combinations, function keys, system keys, the menu and print keys, and the CapsLock key. Draws in the style of the Office 97 menu bar. Implements Visual Studio-menu style check marks and radio buttons. Implements Hot-tracking, Hot-lighted and Clear-box highlighting visual effects. Implements a "CaptionSeperator" item-type which is a Seperator Bar with scaled, centered text and optional background coloring and submenu support. Implements Color-select, a type of highlighting that lets the highlight bar be different than the system default Background gradients Multi-line menu items DBCS (Unicode) support for languages such as Chinese Each feature is Item-by-item. You can have a whole menu full of items that colorize or highlight differently. Version Upgrades: 4.1 (07/01/2001), 4.0 (06/18/01), 3.0 (02/22/2001) and 2.3 (10/28/2000): New Features include: Each item may have its own Font, right-justification of menu items, and support for menu breaks and menu bar-breaks. In Version 4.0, the object model was completely revamped and simplified, developer documentation is now included, and a number of new features, such as support for background gradients, multi-line menu items, and Unicode, were added. Version 4.1 adds Office XP style flat menus.

Lock's user resize in a form without FLASH. It's very easy, just put MDLockResize.OCX in a form and set the properties MaxFormHeight, MaxFormWidth, minFormHeight, minFormWidth.

Progress bars are quite standard... but boring to look at! So how about a Progress Circle? This works just like MS progress bar AND has several enhancements such a colours and captions. I have included the code for the ocx control as well as the test app shown in the screen shot.

although i am in mailing list of PSC for over a year, i decided to upload one my codes that i think could be useful for someone. it's a very cool digital marquee. it supports 5 different colors, scrolling direction, interval... pretty good for an application

Just compile the DLL, and then add it through the references. You will find it there as panosprj.
