The DegreesToXYsubroutine, calculates the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates of any point, measured in degrees, on the circumference of a circle or ellipse.

This function allows the application to enter and exit exclusive mode. In this mode any message boxes or prompts from Windows and other applications will not show up infront of the program. This is useful when you don't want anything to come up infront of your application window.

Tells whether a form is loaded or not

Can Change The Shape of any form

Makes a Form Trans Parent

This subroutine shows how to Really put a ComboBox (or any control with a hWnd) onto a ToolBar (or any other control/window with a hWnd).

This code, which was inspired by a similar snippet of code by Ian Ippolito, permits tiling an image onto a form's background. This variant, though, resides in a module and is called by a form instead of residing within the form's code itself. This permits using the feature project-wide without redundant code all over the place.

This code, which was inspired by a similar snippet of code by Ian Ippolito, permits tiling an image onto an MDI parent form's background. Getting an image onto an MDI parent is easy. Getting a tiled one is another story. We could try using a Clipboard operation, or build a big tiled background and save it and then laod it into the MDI parent's Picture property, but these are nasty, anal-retentive, and likely to simply not work. This code, however, works...

Centers a form, relative to the available workspace. This means that if your users have high, or wide taskbars, or other apps which restrict the workspace, your forms will still center properly.

It's a coolbutton. :) Those flat things that MS uses now. This one supports setting images for mouse over, mouse down, mouse up, drawing bevels for those 3 states, setting the colours of the bevel, automatically generating the mousedown and mouseup images by varying the brightness of the original, setting text positioning... lots of stuff.

Resizes two text boxes AS a divider is dragged left or right. Maintains full bounds checking. The methods used can be applied to other controls as well. This is a form of splitter bar.

Draws a nice 3D-Starfield in a Form (uses X,Y,Z positions) width a very short code Shades each star depending on the distance.

This .bas module allows you to re-size your form and all the controls re-size with it. I kept looking for code out on the internet that would do this right but I was never successful. So, I wrote this to eliminate the need for any ocx's or dll's. It resizes the SStab control which I found was a problem with most resizing routines (check it out for yourself). It also handles lines. It's also alot quicker. All you have to remember is two things. First, add the resize module (rs_form.bas), Second, Add one line of code (ResizeForm Me) to each form you want to re-size.

Capture a screen in a window, this one actually works...

This code allows you to quickly center a form within the screen without eating up alot of cpu time.

The following code will add great text effect to your applications. It changes the spacing between the characters. By changing spaces, the characters move on the screen.

This code allows users to edit in a MSFlexGrid

Class module for resizing/repositioning controls on a form. See source code for details.

Stretch an image to another size. Truly fail Safe code works even with invisible source image. You can save the newly resized image with additional VB coding.

Professional High Quality Code. Looks, works and behaves like the Windows Task/Icon bar on your screen (only better, with more properties). It actually forces the screen size to a slightly smaller size to fit the toolbar in place, thus the user still has full view of other software programs running at the same time. This is the genuine untouched code "...based on the J.Richter's CAppBar...", (FREEWARE)! Use it for many projects. No need to buy or use a TOOLBAR OCX. A few lines of code is all you need, when you add the prewritten BAS and CLS files. Creat your own BANNER style form, like the ones seen with FREE INTERNET servers. This code is genius!
