This code unloads all the forms of the program returning the resources back to the computer

Holy cow! This is awesome! This actually works. You can make almost any object or control in VB6 have a raised 3D affect. You have to check this out. You have to try it. And you have to help me improve it please. If you make any improvements, please re-upload it thanks. there aren't any comments in the code. I just threw it together. There is an example of how to use the True3D module. If you use the code, you have to just make copies of frmLines. that is where all the lines reside. This is why we need to make this better and easier to use. All forms were included in the previous upload. Just the project didn't load it for some reason. You could have manually added the frmLines after opening the project or you can re-download this updated project.

It just pops down a bar when you put the mouse at the top of the screen. it then detrects whether the mouse is still on the form, if it is not it hides the little bar.

This will show you how to Resize Control on a Form Regardless of how many controls there are Limitations are Menus cannot be resized along with controls such as CommonDialog.

ActiveX control, sizable analog clock. Doesn't blink!

This is a complete drop in ActiveX control for the sole purpose of providing a simple way for you to scroll text "marquee" style. This control will allow you to scroll both vertical and horizontal, adjust the scroll rate, the number of times it repeats, load the text to scroll from a file, or build it dynamically. It will wordwrap your text if you want it to. You can align the scrolling text right, left, or center. It gives support for a "drop shadow" effect. You can specify the direction of the drop shadow either northwest, northeast, southeast, or southwest. You can choose your colors for the background, font and drop shadow. I've even included a property page with this control to make life even simpler for you. This control was developed in VB6, so you will need the VB6 runtimes in order to make it work properly. If you like this control, please rate it as I would really dig a copy of Ian's Help generator :-) This control is based on a previous example submited by "Steve" (I assume of VBTutor.com) located Here

Analog Clock control where you can use your mouse to rotate the hours and minutes. Ideal to obtain time the graphical way from the user. Can also be used as a simple running time display. Left-Click and drag the minutes, Right-Click and drag the hours. Colours, fonts and some other attributes can be changed (look and see). This is just a usercontrol (ctl+ctx) file to include with your project, if you really want to, make your own ocx from it.

This is something I made after seeing people request a way to make transparent forms. The nice thing about this though, is that it makes it so that all the controls are still visible! And it works with transparent shapes and lines too! This is a great way to make your programs stand out from the rest, you have to see it.

It is a Slider UserControll

Shows you how to move items from one listbox to another. Includes commenting. Don't forget to vote

this code extends new styles for command buttons: Modal frame,Client Edge and Static Edge just like in vc++. You can use it to extend other controls styles.

You will note that this works for both Win 9X and WinNT/2000!!! I take no credit for this code as I found it and altered it only slightly to save the icon positions for a given resolution. Frankly, I am a novice at API and much of this is over my head. The code saves the current Desktop Icon positions. You may move them around as you choose and then restore them. It saves the data to a file for each resolution you choose. Sort of like EasyDesk

Added BackMode, BackColor, BackPicture, BackFileName, DisableMultiSelect, New Tutorial (Disable Multi-Node Select), updated Tutorial 1 (demonstrate new Back features) and added Animated TreeView Image Background (YES - A first! Pretty unique huh!). BackColor & BackPicture work independantly of the Nodes therefore Nodes maintain their original colors! No other VB code does this - enjoy! Now 80+ Features!

To demonstrate how easy it is to disable the ALT CTRL DEL buttons The basic emailer included will show you how to add the functionality of email to your programs. Check it out & don't forget to vote!

This code provides an alternative Messagebox with just 3 additional files to your project. 1 form, 1 module and 1 user control (chameleonButton Button by Conchuki). A complete designer has been included in the demo project which allows GUI design of msgboxes. Different icons, scroll bar, XP/2000 style etc. This was submitted a while ago as a bog standard msgbox by someone but I cannot find out who. Ive included the original. Please vote if you like it, if you don't, tell me why you don't so I can improve it. Enjoy!

I've been looking for this and found nothing so i started it myself, and here it is! PS: Don't belive that, listen the actual story I searched for something like this and only found a simple ruler. Only had the 4 modes thing, the orientation and the cursor-following lines. But it didn't work fine. So i fixed the orientation, added a code i found here to make it with borders (6 to choose from =] ), added back and font color stuff, and changed the code cause before it didn't remember and load settings if u used it in an app. So, here it is, what YOU have been looking for too! The ruler OCX! Comes with full source, a little example form (u can see it in the screenshot) and a little request: Please if u make any changes, tell me, or send me it so i can have it to (i have an app using this ruler and it will be great to improve it) If u want to vote, i'll be glad. that way more users will know about this and they can help with it too hehe =] Maybe not the best control in the world, but it's useful. Hope u like it!!

This CTL implements a property sheet, a little like those that exist in VB Developer Studio itself. You can manipulate TEXT, BOOLEAN, LIST and BUTTON property types.

!Updated!It is a different of having a login dialog it resembles a high tech security system control panel you can set a limit to the char and if you make it into a ocx you can change the pass code still by looking in its propertys for caption it can be either in a ocx or hidden in your code you choose and i am open to any surgestions if you run the code you will see what i am talking about but i got the idea from the tv so technicly the tv should get the code, o yeah the pass code is 23446 thanks to stan amditis for your feed back it now has "0" and a CLEAR key and it's perfect i hope but i am still open to feed back !PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

Wrapper for CommConfigDialog API call, makes it very easy to show the system configuration dialog for serial ports. Just set the CommPort property, call the ShowCommConfig method and the dialog is displayed. After the user clicks OK, simply read the Settings property and paste this into the MSComm.Settings property. No hassle with long API declarations or tedious settings of system variables...
