Windows XP Verticle Scroll Bar. Nearly identical to real thing. Will subclass next, and then make horizontal bar.

If you've ever tried to use the standard Toolbar customise feature then you will know it doesn't work. This is a documented bug - visit MS and do a search. They offer some solutions, but these only partially rectify the problems. The problems involve an inabilty to reliably save the configuration of the Toolbar and a failure to display unused items in the left hand selection Listview. My fix Scrap the feature entirely - uncheck AllowCustimize checkbox in properties Replace the dialog with a clone form Power the function with a simple class

Draws various paterns with simple line techniques.Just thought it might save someone some coding.

This button is cool for you that using graphics on form. If you move your mouse over the button, the button come with highlight picture base on form pictures. Click it, and the button move down still with the background. This is looks like IE title bar with skin. For more information, you can email me: [email protected]

Quick and simple way to create 3d Text

This form contains an example of how to do a simple Outlook-type split form. The splitter code is modifed from the http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/hsplit.zip code. I have updated to include icons and labels under each button. The project is now only compatible with VB6 as I am using a resource file to store the icons. I have found and fixed the problem with icons not disappearing when the form is resized and also implemented scrolling to allow users to see obscured icons.

Shows tooltips! You can customize it. If you use it please send me an email. Email: [email protected] Also it took 5 minutes but it is awesome. At least I thought it was better than the regular tool tip! You can have multilines with this one. Look at the screenshot so you can see what it looks like. Thanks, Carroll Dearstone

this lets you edit the system menu on your form. you can make it perform functions also. the only downside to this is that the form is not movable by titlebar. i've seen other codes posted on this but the one i was looking at didn't show how to perform commands on click. anyways hope this helps you out.

A nice non-container Frame-Control. Note that there is no window-handle for this control. So it saves your system resources Features : - Styles Raised, Sunken, Etched, Inset etc. - BackStyle (Solid/Transparent) - BackColor - BorderColor Ejoy. Votes are welcome.

Translucent form, that uses some VB transparent controles, I wrote this code using some module that wasnt mine so i like to thank the author for his contribution to my code! Please vote, and leave feedbacks! I am planing of making a version of translucent, sinable and resizable form!

Shows a good way to make a form a child of another form without the jumpyness of using just SetParent alone.

Did you ever want to let your Application appear in the SysTray, without any complicated code, completely bug-free and easy to handle using events?Or did you ever want to change the Windows-Settings like Wallpaper with VB?This code does not only contain the source for a UserControl to easily create and handle SysTray-Icons or the code to change the Wallpaper, it is also a complete program to fresh your Desktop up: you can create a list of picture files and the program changes the Wallpaper after adjustable delays, running down your list. Furthermore the program is very flexible, it automatically stretches the pictures so they fit onto the screen, and it can handle all filetypes from Bitmaps over GIFs to JPEGs.Just copy some cool Wallpaper-files into the Folder "Wallpapers", type any number of minutes in the TextBox in my program, and enjoy your always different wallpaper!Also the program runs in the SysTray when minimized, so it doesn't block the TaskBar and is still accessable.About the SysTray-Icon Control:You just have to add the UserControl to your form, and your App appears in the SysTray. If you want 2 Icons in the SysTray, just add another Control. You can change the Icon and the ToolTip Text in the IDE and at runtime, and you can control the User actions easily through events.The control also allows you to display the window's system menu when you click on the Icon, if you want it to.I hope this stuff helps you, and if you like it, please don't forget to leave feedback/votes!

one hundred percent pure volume is a horizontal Volume slider like you've NEVER seen before, built in raw vb6 code with no other add-ons this code is modular, re-usable and 100% completely Height, Width and position idenpendant. it uses standard picture boxes to "act like" or "mimmick" a sliders appearance, because it uses standard picture boxes, you can skin the volume slider to any picture and dimension in the world, just by selecting it's .picture filename property. if you set it to 20,000 pixels wide it will still retain 100% functionality. uttermost left of the main background picture will remain 0%, uttermost right of the main background picture will remain 100%, no matter how wide, high or what position left the main background picture is set at. It uses ADVANCED relational percentage math to calculate the percentage value used to set the windows volume,hence its name : One Hundred Percent Pure Volume. use it in an MP3 Player, sound app or anything that could use this totally unique FULLY Skinable windows volume slider. It took me approximately 2 whole days to Just to work out the math behind One Hundred Percent Pure volume. It's yours for free, Enjoy. Tom Brett, CEO soundgrabber.com

As most of you know the progressbar that comes with windows is in a HUGE file, and isn't even that great, so I've attempted to make a replacement for it. I've seen a few other attempts at this, but they can't do some of the stuff my progressbar can, and my progressbar is less than 50 kb!! The screenshot shows some of what it can do, and a demo program is included. If you like it, VOTE!!!!!

this is a pretty simple thing 2 make a gradient prog bar....i used a screenshot from the project instead of the actual app because it shows most of the properies u can set...it is rly customizable...and i used it in the mod-maker for a game i am making(chk my other submisions), and the map editor(not yet done)...hope u like it

Splitter Control is a Windows Explorer style splitter. To use it, add controls to it the same way you do for a frame, and set the Child1 and/or Child2 properties to the names of the added controls. Features - Live and non-live updating while child controls are resized - Customize appearance of splitter bar while not live updating - Escape can be pressed while moving splitter bar to cancel the move - Specify a maximum size for a child control - Specify a minimum size for either child control - Horizontal or vertical orientation - Position splitter bar by percentage or absolute position

This shows how to Split MDI Forms. Actually there have been a lot of spliiter demos and controls but rearely some have dealt with MDI forms which this one goes in-depth on. There is DragBar highlighting, Title bar colour grading, and more - only uses a timer and a nice API call.

A UserControl that will capture and report mouse events on form and child controls. I've found it useful for finding position and color info at runtime when working with picure objects and when doing bitmap manipulation.

This project Adds Bitmaps to a Popup menu. this is a demo project of how to add bitmaps to a popup menu! it's a simple project and easy to understand, cause thats the way i can understand it
