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 made some improvements on the code I submitted way back on 12/20/1998 (WOW! today is 12/20/2001 - its been 3 years to the day! My, how time flys!) There has been about 11,000 downloads and a lot of comments on this code since then so I thought that an improvement should be posted. I've added a SHChangeNotify function to update the icon in Windows immediately. Original post: For those of you who want to add a touch of professionalism to your program, now you can create a file type in the Windows Registry database which will associate all files ending with your program's file extension (yourfile.xxx) to your program. You also specify an icon for your file type and a description. This example also shows you how to use Command$ to open these files in your program once the file is clicked or opened in Windows, and a quick tip on creating files in the Windows Recent file folder (Start > Documents). Email [email protected] if you need help. Good luck.

A web page editor I've been working on for the past three years. It uses code from other PSC submissions and the main "contributors" are mentioned in the Credits.txt file. This program allows a user to write raw HTML code without the need to worry about correct coding, automatic tag insertion, Web site manager, code formatter, and all kinds of stuff that you'll have to see for yourself :-) This is the project source code, there are some OCX files needed and they are mentioned in the ReadMe file. If you need these OCXs, let me know and I'll send them to you. I will be uploading some of the submissions I got from PSC in a seperate upload so you can see what I used. DO NOT accuse me of stealing anyone's code! I gave credit to the original authors, and if you see any code that looks like yours, let me know what it is and I'll include your name in the credits file. There is still quite a bit of work to be done in this project, but I lost interest in it and uploading it here. have fun! *****Sorry, I forgot to add a few files to the zip...they're included now*****

I got irked at the way the standard CommonDialog control responds to multiple file selection so I wrote my own. This one mimics the standard CDialog but has some extra features. Properties: Cancelled = true after showopen if user cancels DialogCaption = Caption of the dialog DialogX & DialogY = position of dialog DirectoriesOnly = browse for directories FileCount = Number of files returned after Showopen FileNameArray = Array of filenames returned Filter = filter as used in normal common dialog e.g. "All Files|*.*|Text Files|*.txt|Executables|*.exe" FilterIndex = Which of the above to start with e.g. 0 would refer to All Files, 1 to Text Files, etc InitDir = specifies initial directory to start, must exist ShowOpen (method) call the dialog You can customize this anyway you see fit. One thought would be to skin the Dialog form or add properties for fonts, fore & back colors, etc. I included a test project but you must first compile the ocx to use it. The ocx is in the zip but PSC may remove it. Enjoy.

This code is an ADO modification to the previous post from Robert Row in December of 2000. This class adds AutoComplete functionality to a textbox. You start typing and the class searches for a record in an Access 2000 database that starts with the letters you typed, if it finds one, it completes the rest of the textbox with the record.

The code may be useful for NT/W2K Administrators, or Help Desk personal. It will allow locate the workstation, user logged on to. Home server in user account properties (Connect... To..) must be specified, for the program to work. Once user logged on to domain, chances are good, that at list one resource is accessed on the home server. By enumerating sessions on the home server code retrieves workstation name the user logged on from.

This code allows a user to Toggle the caption bar (toolbox and all) on a form at runtime. Normally you cannot visually change some of the form's settings at runtime this solves one of those instances. Code can be fairly easily changed so as to accept a parameter for if you want the caption or not. This is just a simple example.

This code demonstrates how to cycle programs in your systray for ease of launching, it provides a system tray icon which cycles/changes when right clicked, the associated program can then be launched when the user left clicks the tray icon.

You can make your programs look like true Windows XP programs by adding files called "manifest" files to them. This program provides an easy way to make those files for all of your applications. It includes usage notes on limitations that the manifest files have on them. If you like the code, vote for me please!

This program creates only one executable of many files. You can use it to distribute your software or anything else. Pack as many files into one single exe. It is setup creater. It produces only one single file. Opposite to visual basic deployer which creates 3 files. If bugs please report. Please VOTE.
