This is a module that allows you to control a Hitachi HD44780 (or compatible) chipset LCD display (20x4) which is connected to the LTP (Printer ) port With this module you can control 20x4 LCD Display, and with some minor modifications the module can be adapted to control 20x2, 16x4, 16x2 displays as well.

Symantec's Live Update updates the virus definition files once a week. This is risky if a user is connected to and using internet all the time. Symantec also releases updates in a daily manner but they can only be downloaded and installed manually (Check Symantec's web site - www.symantec.com - for more information). This is not a practical solution. This application solves the update problem and automatically updates the virus definitions by checking for and downloading the updates each day.

This program shows you how to use a form in your own program that shows a "evaluation period" window (view screenshot) that allows the user to evaluate your program for a certain time. This one cannot be cheated with by setting the system time back to an earlier date. The registration code is case sensitive. You can alter the location of the generated control file and the length of the evaluation period in the code. Everything is well commented.

Hi everybody!! This is my first submission, I made it some time ago in order to save some money. The application's target is to minimize the scrap in a wood wall recovering. I had to buy wood strips to recover a wall in a 45 degrees design, so I had to set the optimal lenght to reduce the scrap. It was very hard to find the matematical model ( combinations, etc) so I used hard force, to choice random groups and to find the minimal. Code is very rough but basically works. It is a very good example using listBoxes I don't need you vote for me, but comments and feed back will be appreciated.

I've been asked several times how to print 1 line at-a-time to a dot-matrix line printer. The existing VB print daemon does the buffer thing and only supports page printing to an inkjet/laser printer. Here is the link I found at Microsoft that explains how to print 1 line at a time. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q175/0/83.asp? Go to the website and cut/paste the code.

Here are 2 small demos of loading an icon to the systray (system tray) the first is Systray Basic, which is by the book and includes the Public Declare Function, "SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long". This declare basically means if you click the icon in the systray to open the popup menu and then the click on something else besides the popup menu, this will close the popup menu. The second is a modified basic systray demo that I made that minimizes the form at startup and when it is maximized it is visible in the taskbar too. Both are commented. I have 2 other demos about icons in the systray as soon as I comment them i will share them. jim byrnes
