This program can send strings to another program by using the SendMessage api call, Which Winamp also uses to be remote controlled.

This is a great way to run a file without having to get the path everytime you want to do it. It will check if there is an entry in the ini. If there isn't it will open a Common Dialog, save the selected file path to an Ini then run it.

This code will combine the contents of 2 arrays into a single array. I found the code for adding 2 byte arrays somewhere on the net, but I can't find it again to give the original author credit. So, whoever you are, thanks. The original code was incomplete and didn't fully combine the 2 arrays. I've corrected that and added code to show combining 2 string arrays.

This isn't meant for anything except for learning (it is meant right now for a scripting language I'm writing). This will generate forms, and keep track of them. you can then change propertys of the different forms, and it is all done at runtime. the next version of this will have controls that are made at runtime and the control's property's will also be able to be changed. it is kind of hard to explain, so download it and check it out. This is meant for learning and doesn't have some special purpose, so pls don't complain. I am also not expecting any votes, so I'm not even gonna ask people to vote, lol.

This is a code that will teach you how to make a Windows Theme maker. I made this because in C++ you had to Scroll all the way down to all files on top of that you had to find the folder. You still have to find the folder but the *.theme is in the supported list I was going to sell this program but I think you more Experienced programmers should add or tkae off Items and Sell your version of it you can Change any thing thats why I posted it.

Do you know the Flying Windows Screensaver? now you can create Flying ANYTHING screensaver by changing 1 byte!!! (remember to rename the file that has a .rename me extension to EXE)

Just some VB Tech Tips, nothing fancy, but informative.

Hey guys, This is my first post to PSC, so bare with me :) This program, is supposed to be the opening to the matrix. And also a really cool random number gen. I did this between 12 - 3 AM, so yea the code might be a little sloppy, and i'm sure you'll have coding techniques i could have used that would have been quicker. Well Check it out, And please PLEASE post some feedback. Also I'm sorry the code is not documented at all, I'll probably re-upload a documented version, but eveyrthingis pretty much self explanitory! ENJOY! and PLEASE VOTE!!!!

Have your users register your program via an ftp. Heres how it works, when the program loads, it checks an ini for a value, if its there, it skips the registration form and goes right to the program, if its not there it brings up the registartion screen, once the 411 is filled out, a txt file is created the filename is the same as the first field (name), then uploaded to an ftp of your choice! I hope you find this code useful, if you do PLEASE VOTE! and also please leave me feedback!

This little program that I made will help you improve your typing skills greatly. Complete with mini keyboard, practice passages and custom passages, you can test your skills on how many words per minute you can type, check out how accurate you are with the accuracy moniter. Small compact size will fit on the desktop. Labels for the keys use theie ascii value, eg LblKey(65) is A, etc. Please vote if you like this program.

A "GOOD" print module. Supports many functions like : SetFont SetupPrinter QuickPrint GetY GetX AlignCenter AlignRight AlignLeft PrintHeader PrintFooter PrintPageNum PrintLine CheckPageLen EndOfPage Hope you like it. If you need more functions, email me and I'll add them to the module.

WaitableTimer API This demo demonstrates how to use the WaitableTimer API in Windows. A WaitableTimer is very similar to the Sleep API. You can use this API to pause your application for a set amount of time, without taking up any CPU cycles. The benefit of a WaitableTimer over the Sleep API is that WaitableTimers allow your application to still receive events during the wait, while the Sleep command will freeze your app, queuing all events until the sleep interval has expired. Demo This demo shows you the difference between a 5 second wait using the Sleep API compared with a WaitableTimer. You will notice that while sleeping your form will not respond to any events, such as minimizing the form or re-painting if the form gets covered by another window. While using a WaitableTimer, the app remains completely responsive to all these Windows events! Finally, this demo provides an easy to use class called clsWaitableTimer, which completely encapsulates the WaitableTimer API. All you will need to do to take advantage of this API is to call the method Wait, passing in the number of milliseconds you want to wait. Enjoy and don't forget to vote!

Protect your EXEs/OCXs/DLLs by CRC checksum verification - and do it QUICKLY! Several methods exist to detect file modification, and CRC checking is one of the best. However, CRC checksum generation in VB is slow. Until Fredrik Qvarfort came along, that is... His CRC generator code is amazingly fast. If you combine his CRC code with Detonate's CRC-check-the-whole-EXE idea, you get the code presented here: a file checker that can check a file faster than just about anything else out there and still detect single-byte changes. By fast, we're talking several megabytes a second kind of fast. So fast it takes longer to load a big file into memory in preparation for CRC verification than it does to do the actual verify. Includes a ready-to-compile CRC-"tagging" tool for creating the CRC markers that are used to verify the file's integrity, as well as Fredrik Qvarfort's CRC class code (with his permission) and demo CRC-check project. NOTE: I have not tested this code in VB 5, but it's so straightforward that it should work with little or no modifiations.

This lesson will show you how to launch the screensaver with code. It's very simple and only takes a couple of lines of code to accomplish. The first part goes in a module.

How to move items (up ,down) in a listview

UPDATED- I added comments to the code. This program uses the sysinfo control to monitor battery use on a laptop. The screenshot say more than I can type here. I would ask that if anyone knows how to show the info for 2 batteries, I would appreciate an email with how... Thanks

Automatically ftp a file from a server to a pc.

Write an e-mail client in no time! BuzMail is an 'overlay' to the MSMAPI controls provided with VB, in the form of a mail 'object' and various functions etc. It allows the user to send and receive e-mails with or without attachments without having to work out how to use the un-user friendly MSMAPI controls.

* Thanks to Paul Mather I improved my lame skills in strings, now the function is MUCH shorter I have created a function that converts C Hex values (Example: 0x0001) to VB Hex values (Example: &H1) with no APIs , just one usefull function. And one things is fixed, in the updated version I put a removing of the all zeros in the hex, now fixed... :-)
