This simple program shows how you can prevent anyone from using an illegal registration code that was generated AFTER your shareware program has been released. The user must have an active Internet connection when he starts your program. However, you can put checks in other parts of your program also. You must have web space to place a text file of the illegal names/codes. Sample program is included.

This is basically a smooth-scrolling progress bar that is able to take a caption. I know there are loads of these already on the site, but the code is well commented, and wth anyway :)

This control was used in several commercial applications that I've written as an on-screen Help system. I've included the prototyping code (non-api) and the flicker free API version. I hope this helps someone ..... Happy Coding!

Replicates MS Works 2000 horizontal and vertical menus. Displaying Disabled Items, Hover Items (Hot Tracking - v1.01), ToolTips (v1.02), Graduated Selection/HiLite (v1.03), Seperator Lines, etc all configurable. Demonstration application included to demonstrate all the features of the controls. Please vote for this project & happy coding!

This light-weight OCX not only remembers when a form is resized, but also when it is moved; handles MDI Parent/Child forms and SDI forms; a CenterForm function that works in both MDI & SDI forms plus if the TaskBar is visible! Drop the control on a form, add one line of code (see screenshot) and the OCX does the rest! Two example apps are included to demonstrate MDI & SDI usage. Enjoy!

Have you ever wanted to add Multi-Node Selection to your application? Many people here and in the newsgroups have wanted this feature. Here is a working prototype! Enjoy...

This project was put together as a learning tool to better understand how to capture Windows Messages using subclassing within a OCX. Capuring Windows Messages in a executable is very straight forward - however within an OCX, it's a whole new dimension. This project demonstrates how to overcome the difficulties without using thrid-party products or external DLLs. Keep your eye on both the Immediate Window and the UserControl's ListBox in both Design-time and run-time whilst resizing, minimising, maximising, moving, clicking, etc to better understand how the UserControl and Windows Messages Work. I hope that you get the same benefit from using this code as I did coding it!

With this code you will able to move your text from bottom to top in form.Great for Splash Screens. NO OCX needen

This is a multi-columns listbox with many feature like background picture, apparence, AddItem ,RemoveItem, ReplaceItem, IntegralHeight, Caption alignment, Column alignment and many more...

This is a multi-style command button to add to your applications. It can emulate seven different styles at a very accurate way!!! see the screenshot to belive... you will really be astonished. And the best of all: no external dll's or ocx's need to be used, an even the XP button is ownerdrawn!!! A must have for any coder. UPDATE!!! now it supports cool color changes!

Have you ever wanted to have your project set up to have people have to register with you to unlock certain parts of the project. Well, i have made a simple to use control just for this purpose. Just slap this control onto a form, set a few values, and you will be able to generate custom keys depending on the name of the users computer, or a serial number. You can also use a combonation of these to make a harder to crack key. What the code does is, if the setting is set to ComputerName, it finds out the name of the computer, goes through my alogorithim, and makes a key for that name. When the use puts that key into a text box or something, you can call my control to see if that key is correct. The control will respond with a boolean value, if the key is correct, it will be true, but if the control determines the key to not be right, it will reject the key with a false value. This code is heavily commented (prolly more comments then code), but the code is effectivly explained (well in my eyes it is), and will show you how to set this up. Also included in this visual basic group, is a sampel program giving the basics on how to use the control. This is only version 1.0, i plan on updateing it with more features in the future, maybe something along the lines of add a demo-time limit function to it, where it will only allow the user to use a program for a specified amount of time. Feel free to use this code in your own programs, but if you just copy/paste it from here, i would apprieciate some credit. :D. If you have any questions/comments/or anything else, post here, or email me at [email protected]. Last, if you use this, and if you want, place a vote on this project. Thanks for reading, and i hope you enjoy this program.

This is a generalization of the clsPrintAvery5352 code submitted by Bernard J. Tucker on 11/27/1999. This version of the class will print any label that the calling routine can describe. The zip also contains a VB project to show the use and an Access database of label partameters from the Avery Web site (legal).

lightweight compile in display bar... give users something to look at while they are waiting...4 animations to choose from..adds about 16k to your exe. Dont forget to check my sight for more stuff: http://geocities.com/dzzie

With only 6 lines of code, create an awesome new tab replacement that can be customized to any color, font and size that fits your application.

This application demonstrates a customized popup menu, with a "rolling" (vertically scrolled and gradually revealed) effect. It works by using a second form embedded within the first as the popup menu. For more code samples visit my personal web site: click above on my full name.

Little dll that allow you to transform a picture box to a progressbar. Using it is really simple and give you lot of effects (see screenshot), just see the read-me file inside the zip. Enjoy it!

Subforms in VB UPDATED!!!! This OCX allows you to set any one form in your project as a parent form and display all other forms within the project as a subform within a client area of the parent form. A demo client project within a .vbg is included (run_this.vbg). Register the .ocx using regsvr32 first. Major news: User control with CAPTION User control MOVEABLE at runtime User control SIZEABLE at runtime Change the ATTACHED Window Style Event GetAttachedWindowStyle(ByRef NewStyle As Long) (you can set your own Attached Window Style) Event NewStyle(ByVal PropertyName As String, ByVal newValue As Boolean)

This project is an enhancement/rewrite of another submission (see below). This project displays advanced Win2K/XP style "balloons". This version includes a title bar that can be used to "drag" the ballon, RTF support, scrollable text, simple rounded rectangle code, API border drawing code, and completely dynamic resizable balloon. See the readme in the project for details from original author and notes about enhancements. FYI: I had offerred to send this new code to the author for inclusion in the original but he wanted to keep his code separate so I figured I would go ahead and post my enhancements for everyone with his permission. (see the chat on the original post) ------ Clip from other submission ----- This code will show Windows 2000/XP-style popup balloons. They were introduced in Windows 2000, and in XP they're seen all over, especially in the system tray. But Microsoft hasn't released how to use them yet (except for tray icons),and--if they did--it would only work on Windows 2000 or later. This project shows you how you can use these balloons in your programs. Instead of relying on Windows to make them, this program makes its own. Therefore, it will not only work with Windows 2000 and XP, but also with all other versions of Windows (down to 95). .....

If you must let people resize things at runtime, then this is a good solution. Plz, vote!
