UPDATED To allow the user to resize a control at run-time with the mouse. All API, short code, just set it and forget it. Useful for picture boxes, report designers, etc. No high overhead.

THIS PROGRAM IS A VB ADDIN THAT SIMPLIFIES AND QUICKENS THE PROCESS OF INSERTING API DECLARATIONS AS WELL AS THEIR ASSOCIATED CONSTANTS AND TYPES IN YOUR PROJECT. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: 1) FOR API DECLARATION INSERTION: type out the api call i.e "setwindowpos" (without the quotes) select or highlight the call with your mouse cursor, and with the left button still pressed down hit the "a" key on the keyboard. 2) FOR CONSTANTS INSERTION (a) if you know the constants you want type out the first 3 letters ( or more) of the constant(s) you wish to insert. For example..say you've just inserted the api call "DrawText" which requires at least on of the constants prefixed with "DT_ i.e "DT_LEFT or "DT_SINGLELINE" Type out "dt_" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse and with the left button still down hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list (b) If your unsure of the constants you want with the left mouse button pressed anywhere in the code window hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list 3) FOR TYPE INSERTION (a) if you know the type you desire type out the entire types name i.e. "pointapi" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse, with the left button still down hit the "t" key, confirm your selection (b) if your usure of the constants you desire with the left mouse button depressed anywhere in the code window, hit the "t" key. The entire list of constants is displayed in alphabetical order. Make your selection(s)

This code produces a snap to effect exactly like Winamp. Uses POINTAPI type and GetCursorPos API. It gets the current x and y does a few calculations and snaps-to the screen edge. It does take into account for the taskbar but that may need some tweaking.

This is a FULLY FUNCTIONAL Custom Control. I have not loaded it with features for the purpose of letting you download it and add to it yourselves! The code Included Allows RemoveItem, Clear, Listcount, Item(X), and AddItem(Text, Bold, Color)

Chevrons are buttons that display a popup menu when there are more items on a toolbar than room to display them. All items that overflow the width of the toolbar are dynamically added to a popup menu to display them. Special thanks to Night Wolf for use of the Gold Button control which can be found here on Planet Source Code. Please vote if you like it, and drop me a line if you have any questions.

This control was used in several commercial applications that I've written as an on-screen Help system. I've included the prototyping code (non-api) and the flicker free API version. I hope this helps someone ..... Happy Coding!

This is not a really new submission. It's a simplified version of PicScroll v3.0. I've added -some people asked about this, and this is the reason for this version- Best Fit mode. Nevertheless, zoom factors still are magnification factors. See iDst_Paint sub to see how current visible area is painted. You'll understand why fractional zoom factors (1:2, 1:3...) 'bring' this problem. __________________________________________________ (Re-coded: 02.10.2003)

Shows you how to use the Alphablend api to make a menu system.

A new VB Tab-control that looks like the one used in Photoshop.

Supplies a list of available User and System ODBC Data Sources. The DriverFilter Property allows you to limit the available DSNs to that of a specific driver (e.g. SQL Server). Uses pure ODBC API calls.

Lock's user resize in a form without FLASH. It's very easy, just put MDLockResize.OCX in a form and set the properties MaxFormHeight, MaxFormWidth, minFormHeight, minFormWidth.

THIS IS A FIX FOR MY LAST SUBMISSION * ALL FILES ARE INCLUDED! Look in the "RELATED" folder for the tab dock control. COMPILE THE TABDOCK CONTROL, then add it to the MDI form that is included. IF you have any more concerns...contact me on AIM: CAaronWright! This is a nice example of the TabDock control at work. I did not write the control, but I did fix alot of errors in it, so this control should run smoothly now. The example included, however, was written by me, and also works perfectly! The example will show you how to Dock and Undock four different forms all at one time, or individually via Menus. (See screenshot for more detail) This is pretty much like the VB environment, so have fun, and If you like it, please vote, thanks!

Need a transparency fading effect for both SDI and MDI Forms? Want the control to be drop in place, lightweight (~10kb), provide Load/Unload event subclassing, and allow splash form sleeping? This simple Transparency Control does this and more...Just drop the control on the form, set the properties and that is it…No additional coding!

This Control shows any Appoiments in a timeline. The Timeline is variable from any date. You can Display one Day or more. In this example will display 2 Users (JR and HP). He has different Timelines. Try it out. The Caption for Month and Years comes from your System hmmm i like this.

A simple XP Style lightweight container Control. Updates: 08/04/2005 - Resize Bug Fixed.

A usercontrol that mimics the selection/sizing tool like VB & MS Paint. It is a little unique, is flexible, and works well. Developed for a skinning engine I'm creating. I think it is pretty much done & offer it to you to play with. Read the remarks please. It isn't that big of a project.

360 Degree gradient added. Thanks for all the previous comments/votes!

This is a Mac OS X - Panther, Windows XP shell. It's not complete, and for a good reason, I need some help. All that is done so far I have done myself (Not including the class module by Akhil). If you would like to help, e-mail me at [email protected] . Now, lets talk about what I have done so far... I've got the dock with a few icons which bounce when clicked and have the text above them when you mouse over them. The dock is translucent and uses Windows XP API's, sorry for you people who don't have it. I'm currently working on the Finder Bar on top, which is what I need some help with along with some other things. Among the things I need help with on the Finder Bar is how to get the menu's of the active window and display them there. There is also some bugs and the program can become quite slow for some reason, I havn't figure that out yet, which I need help doing. Now please realize that I had to save the screenshot in JPEG format, so there is some quality loss, it dosn't look like a cheap program consisting of bad screenshot images. The quality is much better... So far, the GUI anf functions of the program are pretty close to how the real Mac OS X - Panther is. What I figure people would use this for is to complete the look of Mac OS X - Panther, using WindowBlinds or something along with it. Please note: Do NOT e-mail me saying you want to help unless you will actually help out! Well I guess that about wraps it up for now, PLEASE HELP! I have included what I've done so far, so you can screw around with it if you please. Also please note: This is currently only made for the 1024x768 screen resolution. Thanks everyone.
