This demo code shows how you can put progressbars into a listview control. Same principle works with other controls,too. For example commandbutton, picturebox or combobox. Works with horizontal, vertical and keyboard scrolling. Changing the column size is also no problem. This demo uses subclassing. I used the subclassing control by SoftCircuits. You can get it for free at http://www.softcircuits.com. Or use your own subclassing code. It should be no problem modifying the program to get it to work.

This Common Dialog replaces Microsoft's Common Dialog as using that would just add one more dependancy to your project, where VB already has more than enough of that! Though it is by no means already completed as it doesn't already got colour or font picking abilities, nor does it have a print dialog. It's also not as easy as with the MS Commondialog to use this in your apps. I'll continue on this though as it'd be really great to slowly replace all of that dumb control packages (where you only need one control but got to include the whole file) with single controls, that can be used as usercontrols, not as ocx's which is by my opinion much better as you don't have to take care about the registering and stuff... I dont really trust the setup anymore.

I saw a question in the forum(but scince i cant re-find the question) and figured I would answer it. The question was "I made a program that wouldn't fit on the entire form. Do you know how i could scroll down a form, so there i alot more space. Here is the answer!!!!!

This code makes your form on Always on top. Its not like some other codes i saw recently. One only let your form be on top within your program. Another didn't work at all. This one does! DONT FORGET TO VOTE.

Very nice command button (ActiveX control) with gradient filling. If client screen color depth is 256 colors or less – looks as regular command button. You can change caption-image order (position) from left to right or top to bottom. When created this control - used two algorithms from www.planet-source-code.com. Want to say personal thank you to: Rocky Clark (Gradient filter algorithm); Manuel Augusto Santos (Emboss filter algorithm). Please rate it! E-mail bugs to [email protected]. Feel free to use this control in your application (if you'd like to) as much as you want. If you'll modify it - please leave my name in the About box! Enjoy! PS: (Please rate it)

This is an enhancement of Dr. C's code submitted today. His code dealt with EASY TO IMPLETEMENT API Based AutoCompletion Class which features an auto-dropdown option for VB Combo Boxes. He should get full credit for the class developed. It is very good work. Further enhancements made to his fine work includes (1) a simple database which loads the combo box with values, (2) a primary module containing useful stuff, (3) Added a Gotfocus and LostFocus to Combo box to manipulate the displayed value, (4) added ENTER key acceptance capability. His original code can be found at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=34618&lngWId=1. Users can type in some existing value or create a new value "on-the-fly" into the Combobox. Try it and see. I felt many of you would like the changes so I am posting them. Let me know what you think.

This is the source code to a custom control that will give you more power to work with VB forms. Extra properties, functions, and events including FormMoved, SysTray Icon, Form Shape etc. This is a useful tool even if I do say so myself, I use it and you will notice that if you down load my next Upload called System Mage (Wait and see!) WARNING: Terry has pointed out a glaring error in my code that has baffled me. Somewhere along the line I have coded an error into the property page that causes an error and I haven't located it yet. I'm going to warn everyone about it until I fix it but leave it on here so you can still use the example of the functions in the control. If you see my mistake then pls let me know! Cheers.

mdi non activating & reduce toolbar example (kind of like (photoshop or dreamweaver toolbars) This tutorial shows how to create non-activating toolbars in a mdi app. You can hide, reduce the toolbars, and they do not appear in the menu windowlist. There is no subclassing for the non activating toolbars, and no ocx are used, just a couple of API. There is also an example of subclassing all the child windows on the fly when creating them. That lets you specify a minimum size for all the child windows ! There is no subclassing, and no ocx are used, just a couple of (easy) API.
