This program uses the ASPI layer to manage the basic functions of a tape changer or autoloader. It can inventory the magazine, load and unload a specified tape and clean the tape drive head. It also has an automatic mode. WARNINNG. LARGE file (1.08Mb). Zip also contains SCSI documentation from ANSI and HP, as well as my own document. This program shows how to send RAW SCSI commands to a changer or other device, and get it to do something.
This is a demo project showing how to draw a star of any size and at any angle on a Form or PictureBox. Also includes a geometry module with lots of useful functions.
Beginers Tutorial For DirectX 8.x WILL Teach You: How to initialise DirectX, DirectD3D and a Direct3DDevice How to use and initialise a Vertex Buffer How to Render a 3D Pyramid How to use Matrix's to rotate your 3D objects How to use Z-Buffering (Draw-Orders/Draw-Buffering)
BGThreadRunner and DesignPatterns, Shared Memory, and Multithreading in VB6 - A Tutorial This is a tutorial which illustrates some useful object oriented concepts and one of several ways to share common memory in the Win32 environment, which is used here to bypass the standard COM marshalling process when transferring large data objects and data objects not readily handled by standard marshalling. All these techniques are combined to create a small multithreaded task server component that can be used to run background tasks in conjunction with and for standard single threaded executables. This is a lengthy tutorial - there are 7 projects required to build the entire application. There are 4 additional study projects that illustrate important concepts and aspects of the code and components. I had to break the zip up into four parts because the site would not accept the large download. But don't let that scare you off. ;-) This tutorial is written with intermediate level coders in mind. I've been writing VB code for less than two years. If you currently write code in class modules, jump on in, the water's fine! First of all this is not "real multithreading", whatever that is supposed to mean. C'mon! This is VB! Get real! (so to speak ;-) If you really want real multithreading, try C++. This is also not based on VB.NET. However, I have examined the VB.NET threading models, and I personally feel like if you are interested or planning on pursuing that course, this tutorial will in fact prove very helpful. The syntax is different, but many of the concepts are the same. The techniques shown here are based upon a task (class(es) in a DLL) joining a worker thread which then executes the task - code in the class(es). VB.NET threading is based upon a thread joining a class... I think the approach here will help you to better understand how to successfully design a class so a thread can run the code in it. We'll use familiar VB6 techniques. The difference between this tutorial and most I have seen is we will actually try to do something with threads. We'll look at about the simplest model for multithreading that you can actually do any kind of work with. To get started, unzip the downloads, and make sure you recreate the original directory structure - it will expand to somewhat enormous proportions, and some of the individual source files have common names. Then double click on the HTML help file - there are several you want: ..\BGTRDemo\BGThreadRunnerDemoHelp.chm. Please read the instructions in the help before you try to build the sample application !!!! The build cannot be consolidated into a simple group. It requires several steps, and you must follow the directions explicitly!!! I completely tested the build from scratch using the zip file, and it worked fine. But you must perform the procedure correctly. All the required dlls, ocxs, etc. should be on any machine that has VS6/VB6 Professional or higher. The required files are also listed in tables in an appendix. The code and build have been tested and run on Win98. I was not able to test anything on NT4 or Win2K, but I have run similar code on NT4 with no problem. I do not anticipate you will encounter any problems. If you have problems, comments, or questions, you can e-mail me. Complaints should be directed to my agent - send them to [email protected]. Hopefully you'll find something of interest. Multithreading aside, there are all kinds of other goodies inside - stuff that people who actively write code for a living can actually use. I obviously have a lot of time on my hands, and not enough to do with it. I currently don't actively write code (or do anything) for a living and this stuff does not pay any bills. I am definitely available, e-mail me - I live somewhere in the 20th-21st century, Atlanta metro area. ;-)
Lets you create time limit on your programs
This is a quick little encryption file I put togeather in about half an hour. It's reasonably secure for whatever you want to use it for Feel free to add this to whatever program you want to.
If you use App.Path in your program and run the EXE from a CD or a Network Drive, it won't work ! This short code uses API calls to get an always valid program path
With this program you can select another window on your screen and move it to an MDI container! Warning: do not use if you do not have much experience with VB or Windows
This code will import textfiles into a MS Access database using different kind of seperators. A MUST SEE CODE! It works great and can be used for a lot of things!
allows you to send email with one line of code from your vb app.
It's just a Color picker dialog, some-what similar to the one in Adobe Photoshop. It lets you choose from any of the system colors, as well as display only websafe colors (only works in 32-bit color depth mode). It also uses a memory DC to draw the colors, to make it faster than it would be in VB.
It is the begining of a game like GTA totally made in DirectX 7. It's under development and I need some help to complete this project, and I know that some people can help me. First, we need to add the player and I car, second, the camera must to move similar to GTA, and add other stuff. PLEASE, VOTE FOR ME IF YOU LIKE IT AND LEAVE SOME FEEDBACKS, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. Sorry, I couldn't upload it to PSC, I don't know why. Please download it at: http://planeta.terra.com.br/informatica/fredisoft/downloads/TakeLent.zip ** IMPORTANT ** Do not use any downloader, like GetRight, Gozzila, etc... Turn it off.
Tired of the old Windows Progress Bar that you can't customize? Here is teh anser: Use APB v 1.10. Features: Standart, Smooth, Double Color Normal/Smooth, XPStyle, CustomPicture Tile/Strech/Show modes. You can customize colors and graphics used, font for the label if you choose to diplay it. It is flicker-free, proffessional, and fully customizable!. ------- FROM THE MAKER OF THE ADVANCED PROGRESS BAR, THIS NEW APB HAS EVEN MORE FEATURES!
Grab the window handle for any window then you can: move and resize, destroy, flash title bar, set caption and get caption to that window. To use: open a window like Notepad or Paint and click on Get Handle in the middle of the form. Then a message will appear, click OK then you have 5 seconds to activate a different window. At the end of those 5 seconds you will hear a sound. It is now safe to torture that window.
My second attempt at an IRC Client. I have started to recode it in C++, so decided to make the VB source available. It doesn't have DCC yet, or many options, but it does include my scripting language (SEX). This code is only to be used for learning and for reference purposes. You may NOT continue working on this version and call it your own. You may NOT rename it and call it yours. If you wish to use it somehow, you must email me first. I will be active in making sure people don't abuse the code. Enjoy.
Demonstrates how to implement a closed loop PID Controller. A PID controller is a closed loop control system (for real world applications) that is used to control systems that include feedback. some examples that may include a PID loop: temperature control (such as a thermostat) position control (such as a servo) speed control Includes a class that allows easy implementation in other applications. The *.frx files are now included please vode if you like this code.
Much like kernel32.dll or user32.dll, MSVBVM60.DLL (or MSVBVM50 for VB5) contains a myriad of useful API function calls that you can utilise - although many of these are undocumented. Just out of interest, I'd thought I'd post a few up here. Seeing as we all have to distribute that annoyingly chunky DLL with our apps, maybe we could start researching and put the thing to really good use!
A simple, general purpose audio waveform generator. Features Sine, Square, Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms plus White Noise. DirectX8 is used for playback but the code could be easily modified for earlier DirectX versions. Vertical scrollers and TextBoxes are used to create an up/down pushbutton frequency selector. The code is fully commented and hopefully easy to understand. Your feedback and/or votes are appreciated ;-)
Keeps controls on the form proportional to form in both size and position.
A simple calculator patterned to windows own built-in calc.
