I wanted a better looking container control than using a picture box or a frame so I decided to make this. Complete source code included. Includes many different looks, autosizing of a child control to fit the container3d control, mouse enter and mouse exit events. *Updated Now To Include Transparent/Opaque BackStyle Property.

The problem with Access databases is that when you delete records, the .MDB file doesn't shrink. It just grows and grows and grows – until someone either compacts it or you run out of disk space. This tip will show you how to compact a JET database up to 100 times!

This is just a single Bas file with two functons for binary read and write of files. The functions are using API's for a better performance.

This is used for a spy tool, getting back at someone, all kinds of things. It doesn't have that may features but i am working on it and it is getting better. I am curently working on the RAT and should be out in the next version. ~Please vote for my code~ .zip (184kb)

Here's an easy-to-use utility that can take a chunk of plain text and generate a summary with up to a number of words you specify (e.g., 1000). This code demonstrates an exceedingly cool algorithm I recently read about that basically works like this. Count all the occurrances of each word in the text. Score each sentence based mainly on how many of the most frequent words are in it (with a few other biases and ignoring dull words like "the"). Pick enough of the highest scoring sentences to meet the maximum word limit for the summary. Assemble these sentences into a summary. Unbelievably simple, in theory. Not bad in practice, despite the fact that the engine doesn't really "understand" what it's summarizing. All it's doing is picking out the most "representative" sentences. Included with this demo is an article from Seasoned Cooking magazine (seasoned.com). Try setting the maximum number of words to 100, 200, 300, and so on and see what you get. You can paste any text in you want. Be sure, though, that you help the engine out by putting one or more blank lines between any paragraphs, bullet points, etc. Also, be aware that all periods are assumed to be end-of-sentence markers, even in abbreviations like "i.e.". This and a few other limitations make this algorithm imperfect, but still very illustrative of one kind of linguistic analysis engine. I suspect this sort of code is unique on Planet Source Code, so I welcome and encourage your comments. Your vote is also appreciated. ---------------- Recent Updates: 8 November 2000: Engine improvement - Added a list of "hot words" to bias in favor of sentences with words like "key" and "important" 9 July 2000: Engine improvements - Ignores words with few characters - Ignores topmost frequent words - Ignores lower half of infrequent words - Better bias towards beginning and end paragraphs

This is the second version of my award-winning Painting-Tool. It has a Toolbox, some new filters and faster effects!

This is a Visual Basic addin that allows the programmer to connect directly to the Planet Source Code Website and do almost everything that can be done on the website while remaining inside the VBIDE. A must have for all Planet-Source-Code users!

Edit VB's recent projects list with ease! Enjoy!

This code can encode strings using the Base 64 method, and also decode the encoded strings. This is PROBABLY useful for a few things, but the only use I know for it is sending E-Mails with file attachments. Wow, it looked so evilly terribly horrible in the browser, I just HAD to upload a ZIP file with the same contents! Sorry!

This code simulates subclassing without the AdressOf-Operator. It's much safer than the "SetWindowLong-Method". The code shows a MessageBox when you click on the form (it's only a simple example!)

5 VB6 Projects all built on a single form. including: Runes - The Viking method of forecasting the future. Bat n ball - A breakout like game. Clock - Analog alarm clock timer. Pairs - Memory game, match the pairs. Space Invaders - The classic reinvented.

Common Dialog Template. This small project explores the use of the Show methods of the Common Dialog. Want to know if the user entered an unexpected extention? Want the dialog to return a file name that does or does not exist? I have included most of the constants and properties associated with each method; not so much to show how they are use, but as a reminder of what is there. Try different things and see what happens. The open and save methods seem to have the most options and therefore the most complexity. So have fun and see if this works with that....

You can pause execution of code for the specified duration. Different from "Sleep" api in that it will not lock up the whole program.

### Functions updated. Now they're way faster and smaller. Took out Select Case and added InStr. ## Ever wanted to use NetZero? Without the ZeroPort software? Well now it's possible. NetHero will convert any existing NetZero username and password to a username and password that will work with Dial-Up Networking.

COOL SPECAIL EFFECT - SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT! This is a cool transition effect. There is a scroll bar to adjust the quality/speed of the effect. You can choose your own pictures for the effect too. I've seen a load of special effects ideas on PSC and so I thought of a different idea for a change (since I had seen alot of similar ideas there). I saw that DirectX can do something called alpha-blending and I wondered if it were possible to do it WITHOUT DirectX at a sensible speed in real time. Well, it is! - but (there's always a catch) to do it fast I had to make loads of memory buffers and look-up tables and so it takes 1.44 MB RAM, but that's no problem for most computers. The code is totally, fully commented, so anyone can understand it. Remember to vote for this if you think it's cool/original/well programmed/helpful (ofcourse I reckon it's all four!).

This project is designed to be tutorial for implementing a class module. I wrote this in order to learn more about modules. I used character replacement as the task since it may be of use after the project is entered. I hope that it will be of assistance to others. This program allows the user to replace a chosen character with another character in a given string.

Well Exactly like a listbox control except for one difference, very simple to understand, for beginners at vb

This code is a simple way to make text scroll in a label, like a HTML marquee. It is simple and very well commented. It's easier to use and understand than all the previous examples I have found so far. Nice to use in one of your programs, if you need a little animation... Enjoy!

This simple sub routine is used to map out a directory tree starting with any given path. Can be easily modified to perform any task that requires scanning folders. THIS IS RECURSIVE!
