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!

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...

A function to make CommandButtons flat. Easy. No API's, OCXes etc. Just pure VB.

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.

Custom Button with resizable images. Styles: Flat,OfficeXP,WindowsXP, NoBorder Properties:Transparency,URL,Bevel,LongCaption Wrap,MaskColor... and more

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.

Add HyperLinks to your VB programs easily! Control Itself manages to open the target - any Program, Document, Web Address, Email Address.....are fully supported. Looks like a real web Hyperlink, uses appropriate mouse pointers, underlines or changes the font color on mouse hover. Provides like MouseHOVER, MouseLEAVE and RightClick. New programmers can learn many things....(1) How to open any document or URL in its default associated program....(2) How to give mouse hover events in VB controls, and many more. A very useful and handy control, please vote or comment it.

Code for an owner drawn Progress Bar control. The Progress Bar itself has various display options including 6 border settings, 3 distinct display options which are completely customizable, and the ability to display text. The user control uses no intrinsic controls (except a timer) and uses 36 API calls to control the display. Commented!

I have been able to find many Splitters that would split two areas on a single form, but what I needed was a Splitter in the way of being able to resize a control that was Right Aligned to an MDI Form - in this case, a PictureBox. This can easily be adapted to the Left, Top and Bottom. Check it out, it is worth trying. I am working towards making this into an ActiveX control once I have the logic nailed down. I'd appreciate any votes that you might feel like giving.

This is a full customizable message box. You can make your own form design, buttons, icons, sounds and buttons caption. Thanks to David Crowell ([email protected]) for his excellent DWButton.

This code demonstrates how to add new menu items to a form's existing menu at runtime. It can be easily modified to add new menu items to other programs' menus as well.

Now you can add resizable panels to any MDI Form. This control allows you to place a resizable panel on a side of the form and looks just like the resizable windows in the VB IDE. This is still a work in progress, as I plan to add some more exciting new features. I would appreciate feedback and comments.

Simple Scrollable View Port control. Just a control container with scrollbars. My first submition. With enough requests/input, I'll add events and/or other properties as suggested. If you like it, vote. (Updated with a fix for possible graphical glitches at design time and redundant code.) UPDATED 1/8/03 - now allows positioning of scrollbars.

This code can turn off the focus rectangle of a button. It is very simple to add to your own application, and very small.Check out this cool effect and vote for me!
