Este es el 3º intento de subir este código, si no resulta, el que lo quiera que me lo solicite por e-mail. Saludos. ------English------- This is a control to draw a label rotate any degree. That give us more posibilities for te design of the forms. ------Spanish------- En alguna ocasión, en el diseño de un form, he tenido necesidad de introducir un texto vertical, y me encontré grandes dificultades para hacerlo. Este control es para aquel que necesita respuesta a un problema similar y no quiere recurrir a usar un bitmap, que resulta más laborioso de modificar. Esta es una versión estable pendiente de algunas mejoras: * Estilos de borde. * Multilínea, etc. Cualquiera que esté dispuesto a mejorarlo es libre de aportar su granito de arena. ------English------- This a stable version that needs some improvements: * Borders Styles. * Multiline, etc. Enjoy

This basic procedure will handle all parent and child Checkboxes in a TreeView control. If you check a child node it will automatically check the parent(s) and vise versa.

Highlight the active control in a different colour to draw attention. Does not require the gotfocus, lost focus for each control. VERY EFFICIENT CODE

Lots of Features. Includes Currency Formatting, Numeric Validations. Functions as a text box or Number Box (Toggle a Switch). Forces All Upper Case, Auto Highlights, Follows Insert Mode, Tabs on Enter Key. Neatly Arranged Property pages (I suggest you strip them out to lighten the load if you dont want to lug them around). It works great for me..I hope someone out there finds this usefull (Comments, Enhancement Requests, and..unfortunately...bug reports, are all welcome) Enjoy!!

This is a fully customizable message box that is backwards compatible with the standard microsoft message box. It has 3 additional parameters that tell it whether to autosize and what size to be. Using my FormatRTF function..which is also posted seperately on PSCODE, you can include tags to format the text any way you would like (see screen shots). There are no limits to the uses of this box. It can be used as both a Regular or Bottomless Message Box and Includes the ability to set Default Button and the Help Button. It is a function and will return integer values that can be compared to vb constants (ie: vbok, vbretry) so you can determine what the user clicked. It is vaguely commented (if that) because I just decided to throw it up here. If you don't understand it, Now is a good time to Learn!! Hope someone finds this as usefull as I have...(Comments and Enhancement Requests Welcome) - ENJOY!!

ActiveX dll source code & test project which monitors a directory for changes. It will watch for files being added or deleted, and changes in attributes or size, and raise an event when a change occurs. I have not used any api calls for this, so there ARE more efficient ways to write this code. I needed to get it done, and was having too much trouble with the api calls working smoothly. I don't care if you vote, but would really appreciate constructive comments. Thx

This is just a "Splash Screen" with Progress Bar, Ontop and Center Form funtions too. It is only beginner code tho, I like doing beginner stuff :) Enjoy - Love Factor :-P

No longer updating this old project; just maintaining it. Latest patch (01Jun06) to fix bug in ReadProperties routine. Original description follows ===================== Updated: Added checkbox/option button modes to include the diagonal buttons (Mode/Value Properties). Also included a custom shaped button that takes shape from its picture property. Some notes to mention: 1) checkbox face color intentionally made to look lighter than normal button face when Value is True. XP, Java, & Mac are best guess as to what it would look like. 2) Option button selections toggle other option buttons, but do not synchronize with VB's option buttons. 3) No change to round buttons; short of using anti-aliasing, could not figure a way for smoother look--experimenting with GDI+. 4) If compiled in app, adds 110k. 5) If compiled as OCX, < 100k using P-Code & minimal app size increase; not bad considering the common dialog is 138k. 6) No timer control used. 7) Reorganized to help follow code easier. 8) Comments welcomed, votes are up to you. Project inspired by Gonchuki's Chameleon Buttons v1.x. Last Update Uploaded: 30 Oct 2004/1405 EST to fix font problem. Last update 23 Oct 2005 to include a separate OCX project.

How do you change the icon that appears in the Alt+Tab window? This is nothing new can be found on MSDN. The notes I added here are of interest. More info for skinning forms. Changing a form's icon doesn't affect the Alt+Tab window; you need to change the icon in an upper level, hidden window. Code below shows how. Notes to keep in mind.... The icon does NOT have to be one assigned to a form! If not, the only thing to remember is to cache that icon handle and don't destroy it until your application closes or you reassign using the same code below. Should you not cache the icon, and it is destroyed, the Alt+Tab will show a "blank/invisible" icon instead.

Part 1. Prequel to a full-blown skinning application. This part does not skin but attempts to completely control the window non-client area. Provided in hopes you will help identify any bugs on different O/Ss. Works well on 98/2K. The other parts of this project will be submitted after bugs fixed in this part and feedback has been addressed. Part 2 will be skinned version compatible with MDIs, Part 3 will include routines for custom-drawn menus. Heavily subclassed and heavily commented; but still a work in progress. Feedback is definitely requested especially pertaining to bugs and suggestions.

Single class module, plug & play. Maybe the last color selector you will ever use? Lots of options & will list most of them here: 1) 3 palettes to choose from, 2) palette tabs can be disabled, 3) grab color from anywhere on screen, 4) fail-safe mode will display std color dialog if routines fail, 5) mouse wheel support, 6) prevent non-palette selections, 7) auto-convert negative sys colors to positive values, 8)add custom colors & personal colors to the default palette or replace completely, 9) easy window placement, 10) even more options. Heavily documented, jump to end of the module for a detailed description of options & their settings. 22Feb06 - Converted to a stand-alone, single class. 26Feb06: Keybd navigation. Now movable. 30Mar06: Reworked to make Win9x-safe & make more MDI-friendly. 31Mar06: Changed memory APIs used to help prevent XP DEP warnings & addressed the error messages being reported that are not errors rather a result of VB IDE settings. 4 Apr. Prev repost broke ability to select listbox items; fixed. 10 Nov 06: listboxes didn't scroll down w/mousewheel, played with XP Manifests to replicate reported issues w/some luck. 11Nov06: running out of bugs... patch minor keybd navigation issues, add layered window support, patch MDI parent losing active titlebar when common color dialog closes. See change history in module if interested.
