When your form is resized, some of the controls contained there will be clipped (partially seen). This code tries to eliminate that by resizing all the controls in relation to the forms resized extent. The main routine will just have to be added at the FORM_RESIZE. Also supports MDI Forms. Enjoy!

This is an great example of how to use BitBlt to make a simple Animation either for a game or for a application. Every line commented in this and I tell you exactly what's going on. So check it out, the Screen Shot pretty much Explains it all...

this coding simply is for beginners and allows you to move your form without a titlebar, or with you own custom titlebar!!!

Gives your users the look and feel of a help window. I use this method because I love Visual Basic, but with the run-time libraries required, the application download is large enough without adding help files to it. This way, I can store my help files on-line. This is also handy because I can update the help documentation without the user having to download any updates or patches!

A small sub for 3D Text on a Form or Picture box. You can define the depth of the Text, the color, the font and the fontsize.

This is a total remake of the last Image Viewer I made. It still views JPG, GIF, BMP, ICO, CUR image files. Besides showing image files, it can also act as an example of how to put skins into your program(s). Please vote!

This code shows you how to do docking or snapping (however you may like to call it). It has two docking styles -- one is with a timer and the other one is just a normal one. You can dock one form with the other, and you can also dock, any of the forms, with the screen ends.

Look out, this is a really professional AboutBox. Really USEABLE !!! including all formatings like version and Application Title.

Create a smooth animated gif pic inside your Visual Basic application. Works very well with a minimum of code. Enjoy! Please leave me some feed back.

It animates the window in three styles (from which you can choose) when the form is moved anywhere. (I was just playing when I got this.)

This Code is a customized ProgressBar (like the ProgressBar which comes along with the common controls). You can change the blocks appareance using the images of the ocx resource, or load one from a file (jpg, bmp, gif, etc).

Hotspots part1. (Basic Hotspots) This program will show new users of Visual Basic how to create hotspots and custom buttons using the image control. See how variable arrays can be used to switch graphics on a single image control. See how you can use control arrays with different graphics. Use a shape control to identify the screen location for your hotspots. You will see how to make custom buttons using graphics and the image control. And finally, you will see the underlying thought process on how an "Interactive Multimedia" program is built in VB. As always, your comments and votes keep these examples coming. Please take a minute to tell me what you think.

Simplified NT Like Progress bars. No OCX overhead! Any colors you like can be used. I also wrote support for each bar in the Dual meter. I put them in my templates directory. Thanks to Jerrame Hertz for bits of code and concept!

This simple program shows how you can prevent anyone from using an illegal registration code that was generated AFTER your shareware program has been released. The user must have an active Internet connection when he starts your program. However, you can put checks in other parts of your program also. You must have web space to place a text file of the illegal names/codes. Sample program is included.

I've spent hours making this the most flexible 8-sided control in PSC today. You can now change the colour of the borders, have different border styles, use bitmaps for the backgrounds of the control and align the text to the left, right or middle. You can also align icons in the bsOctButton! Support for this control, as I have spent a while on it, would be greatly appreciated. A vote would be too.

FINALLY A FUNCTION THAT EVERONE CAN USE - Microsoft should have thought of this. This is a DATE/TIME calendar dialog that is created using only native Windows API. (See ScreenShot) NO FORM NEEDED! It is used / called like any normal function. EXAMPLE: MyText = ShowDate() This will show the Date/Time Calendar and allow the user to select a date/time from a calendar / clock. You can also supply a 'default' date for the calendar to start at. This is my first attempt at hooking with VB and researched all of the requirements online at the MSDN libraries. Vote if you are so inclined. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. *AMPM bug fixed *sorry* ENJOY
