This code will read the active titlebar height and font parameters. The Caption of the window is then centered with the date and time. I looked long and hard to try to do this. Most PC's don't use a proportional font for the titlebar and thus the amount of characters displayed depend on the size of the character (i.e. "WWWWWWWWWW" is wider than "llllllllll" in most non-proportional fonts). I found some info on the web and modified it to allow the caption to be centered in the area between the titlebar bitmap and the 3 controlboxes. The Titlebar size and the titlebar font & size can be different from machine to machine. These settings affect how much data can be displayed in the caption of the window, as does the screen resolution. I had originally tried constants based on the form width, but these were not 100%. Try changing the form size and the active title bar settings to see it in operation.

I wrote this code inorder to identify our servers that were connected to a KVM switch. A KVM switch allows you to connect multiple computers to a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. When switching from one server to another, I found it difficult to discern which server I was using. So the DogTag program goes to the registy and gets the computer name. Then it displays the computer name in the upper right corner of the screen. DogTag is designed to use the color of the desktop to make it seem like the name is part of the background.

Gives your Forms a professional touch! With magnetic(automatically docking) Forms. If your using Winamp, you know what I mean.

This is an UPDATE of my last URL Launcher. This code will launch a website by right clicking on the IExplorer icon from the Win98 quick launch taskbar. The choose Launch URL and the rest is easy. I have made it so you can clear the saved url's. Also if you enter a blank url and hit enter this will act as a cancle and close the program. The autocomplete of the url's now works and saves them to a txt file. You can also clear the saved url's by clicking clear url's from the list in the combobox. You MUST compile this project into "c:\windows\browsefrom.exe" The RegKey.reg file got deleted by planet source code so I saved it into a .txt file. open the RegKey.txt file and save it As RegKey.reg and then merge it into your registry. If you do not merge the RegKey into the registry this program will NOT work. If anyone has any questions feel free to email me at [email protected] and PLEASE VOTE.
