I started to make a Download manager and wanted a progress bar inside of a report list like napster. So here it is, the incomplete version. I guess i'll post a improved version with resizing the progress bar. And for some reason it adds a blank picture to the first item. i dunno so please help. -Special thanx to Eric

This OCX Control is similar to a slider, but has two thumbs which let you define a lower and an upper value. It also features a couple of additional properties which may come in handy. Download is 11.5 kB.

Okay, I give in... This is a nice and easy to use animated (scrolling - flickerfree!) About Box with quite a number of color themes. Shows how to make standard command buttons round and a few other goodies. Just add it to your project, set a few properties and you are GO. How-To is included in the code. Try it, download is only 7 kB.

This is a KnightRider Custom Control with customizable Back- and ForeColors, Size, Speed, and Effect. The appearance and effects can be viewed in the IDE; that is it is already active in Design Mode :- just set the Enabled-property to True. It was inspired by a previous submission to PSC.

This demo application demonstrates the use of a Custom Tooltip Class supporting square and ballon style tooltips, centered at the corresponding control or at the mouse pointer hot spot, with or without title. Individual back- and forecolors and fonts are also possible as well as an assortment of Icons to be displayed in the tooltip and finally individual delay- and show-times. And whats more - the tooltip can now speak using Microsoft's Speech Object Library (SpVoice in sapi.dll), no XVoice.dll or VText.dll! The code is easy to follow and well documented. And on top of that the class is very easy to use. Check it out, download is only 10 kB.

Replacement for the standard Scrollbar with own pictures for the buttons, thumb and body and with quite a few more properties.

This is an extended timer OCX control permitting Intervals between 10 millisecs and 52 weeks. Although it has quite a few more properties it is still a direct replacement for the standard VB timer control. Check it out, download is only 5kB. Also, it's a good example for beginners who want to learn how to make OCXes.

This OCX records all mouse and keyboard activities for later playback with original timing. May (but should not) also be used as a stealth keylogger. Try playing back the attached TEST.RCD file :-).

I wanted to share what i have learned about supporting XP themes in your existing apps. Note that the themes will only be visible if you are running Windows XP. Any other OS and they will look as they did before. First, make a manifest file for your app. This is fairly simple and samples can be searched for at PSC (go to http://www.planet-source-code.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.27928/lngWId.1/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm and that code will generate one for you). The second thing i learned is that certain controls, especially the option button, will not show up correctly in a frame(ie ugly black box around the option control). This can be resolved by putting your control in a picture box inside the frame. Second, a command button that is set to graphical style will not show up themed. The button has to be a standard style. Note that this property cannot be set through code, it has to de done via the properties in the IDE. Hope this helps.

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.

At last, the bsHexControls have been updated (unfortunately they are still a bit slow and buggy). They now have the same features as the bsOctControls. If you want to, you can vote...

This is version 3 of my bsGradientLabel, and I've given in. It now supports multiline text, both horizontally and vertically. Check it out! It's a 63 kb download.

It's been a long time, but I am back with a new ActiveX control. Presenting the bsFrame control, standing at around 192kb, which is intended as a more dynamic replacement for Microsoft's intrinsic Frame control. It is in its most basic state at the moment, with support for enabled/disabled states, 3 different frame designs and all 8 possible border styles, as well as customisable colours. In the future there may be support for icons, caption alignment and caption positioning. Also note that BadSoft Online is back up, please visit my site at http://www.badsoft.co.uk. If you can, please leave feedback, your comments and constructive criticism. Votes would be good too.

It's exactly what its name suggests: a label with a gradient background. You can select from 3 gradient styles, caption alignment, custom colours for both the gradient and text, label rotation (horizontal and vertical) and almost any font (some will not work when the label is vertical). If you like it, please give me a good vote. --- NOW SUPPORTS: border styles and text shadows. ---

Replacing the nasty bsOctControls is the latest in BadSoft tomfoolery - the bsPolygonButton. This control will let you create a 3D button with between 3 and 100 sides, with customisable colours. For more UserControls please visit http://www.badsoft.co.uk/activex

Version 4 of the bsGradientLabel control. The code has been rewritten to use the clsGradient class (by Rocky Clark) and Rohit Kulshreshtha's gradient module - it no longer uses msimg32.dll, so Windows 95 users need not complain anymore. Some code redundancy was disposed of too. Also, you can change the angle of two-way gradients. If there are any bugs in the code, please let me know. Enjoy!

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

I first made these controls for NAVEN(the game i am making, search for it on psc), but am now just adding any controls i need for my newest apps, this will probably be my last submission for awhile because i am working on a IDE for 10 languages(hope i finish it), which i will post on psc(probably). this set of controls includes a scrolling container, a gradient label, a fairly unique horizontal scroller(look at it and you will see why there is no vertical one), a gradient progressbar, a system button, a toggle button, a flat button, and a ton of API calls that i will use in the next version of this(a few new controls that i am working on use them). hope you ppl like this.

This is an update to a previous version i submitted a little while ago and am now going to delete, but it has a 3d matrix that stores the neural net. The 3D vertex routines are from Cory Ului, check out his latest code(i think) at: http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=22835 Keywords: 3D three-d three-diminsional 3-diminsional matrix neuron neural network AI
