This Article shows you how to download 36 ActiveX controls. Microsoft is giving them away for free.

TreeView subclassing to adding a number at right of treeview text items (like Outlook Express)

Building on my previous transparent bullet labels submission, I have built this control which draws transparent checkboxes. It is still a work in progress but ready for feedback. One drawback, it uses the dreaded GetKeyState + Timer combination to capture mouse clicks within the control rectangle. If anyone knows a better way to trap mouse events on the transparent parts of a control, I'd be happy to hear it...Anyway, it is functional...just launch the .vbg file...

This is an update to the first project. This example shows how to use an external source for the Menu. Like setting up themes for your app. This code is for creating a sweet custom looking navigation method on your project using basic HTML and CSS web scripting. Executing the 'document.write' function write to the Microsoft Web Browser Control. Creating a menu this way allows it to be sort of dynamic allowing it to have many customizations.

A custom control I made for a program to save time. Its a custom button using your own pictures. Accurately detect when mouse enters, leaves, or is pressed. Please vote/leave comments :)

With this user control, you can have the very sleek GUI of a window from Mac OS X Panther (www.apple.com/macosx). All you need to do is draw the control on a form, and use 3 lines of code in the Form_Load event, or you can change it at Design-Time to be able to put controls and such in it like a frame control. This is version 0.0.1, so if I decided to work on this project further, you'll probably see features such as several window styles to pick from (i.e. the lines). For right now this control only works on Windows XP, and maybe 2000, I'm not quite sure about that one. I really hope you enjoy this, and rate it well if you consider it to be a good control, because I have spent about 27 hours total on this thing. (Keywords: OSX, OS X, Mac, Panther, GUI).

Second unicode control in the series, UniCommand is just as easy as an usercontrol can be: add .ctl to your project and you're ready to use it! *** Supports unicode under NT4/2000/XP and works under 9X series. You can choose from various borderstyles, define if the focus rectangle is shown and have all the neat functionality from the UniLabel as well! I made it work very much like VB's default command button. You are free to code the control further and repost it here! (possible additions could be solid one color border, Office XP style, graphics, caption padding, checkbox/option mode, Windows XP style...) *** Hope the control fits your needs. And again, the more interest, the more likely I'm to do more free unicode controls! :)

This code is a simple example to illustrate using friend methods (or functions, etc...) to pass information between objects within a project (ocx,dll,etc...). The purpose of this example is to show people unfamiliar with friend procedures how they can enable you to develop components that only expose the properties/procedures you wish to make available to your target audience.

I did not make this VBP, it was made by Evan Toder, but as it so good i thought it deserved to be here. This really does look good, all i have done is modified it so that it is easier to undertsand. Plus i have marked out points where you should edit the project. Nothing else needed, just extract and run. Please read the Readme.txt as it will explain alot about the code.

A replacement for Sheridan's 3D (THREED32.OCX) SSPanel and SSFrame controls. This is not a direct replacement because some of the property names are different. A good alternative when using XP manifest files over VB's Frame control and a picture box (which contains a lot of overhead). This control has 70 different border combinations and 3 text styles that can be positioned one of 15 possible locations. You can change the background, highlight and shadow colors; add gradient fill and/or fill with a pattern. Also included: Line3D control, automatically create a manifest file, link XP themes to the application, and End an application the proper way. Please see the Readme file for a listing of the property definitions.

An Update To The VB Accelerator Tab Control. The Tab Now Supports Xp Style Rendering. Since Steve Has Not Replied To My Emails And The Code Is Lying About On My Computer Doing Nothing, I Thought I Would Upload It So Other People Could Use It (If They Like). Note: Steve Must Take Credit For His Original Works, I Only Updated The Drawing And Fixed A Few Bugs. Although The Original Code Is Not Commented Very Well, You Can See The Changes Made By Searching For 'Ammended By' Kind Regards Gary

New update: OLE Drag & Drop support. // Most part of new code is based on vbAccelerator's TreeView control. Some new methods and properties have been added, too (see control History for more info). // Let me know about any bug, suggestion. __________________________________________________ Update #1: Added CheckChildren() method (hereditary checking) // Fixed: NodeDblClick not raised when DblClick on 'CheckBox'. Also node not expanded/collapsed. // For folder-explorer implementation, see CodeId=56432. __________________________________________________ Update #2: Unicode.

Often I use to thought of using a particular cell of DBGrid control as a Combo box, so that user can select using the combo box.This facility is available in MS Access. This code shows how to combine DBGrid control and a combo box in VB, so that whenever the user clicks a particular cell if DBGrid control this combo box is visible and user can select the value from the combo box.

Simply a master volume fader control...Slider functionality piggybacked from Carles P.V.'s excellent cpvSlider submission. I added mixer api to control and detect changes in the sound volume as well as a routine to draw the snail trail...Also uses Paul Caton's excellent winsubhook typelib and timer class, included in the zip. Skinnable in that the slider thumb pic can be changed. Can also probably set the pic of your choice as the usercontrol background although I did not attempt that myself... Happy Holidays!!!

Do you want to change the style of your boring command buttons? try this cuztomizable button, drawn by code, baloon tooltips, 10 Visual Styles( winXP, Office XP, Mac OSX and more!), customizable caption and icon align and more! See screenshot. Also Includes a very creative way to show a about box Without add a extra form (using some api calls). The button is a single file control, without more dependences than VB Itself. uses Paul Caton Self subclasser: ' http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=54117&lngWId=1 Feedback Is highly apreciated. I'm working on the MacOSX style, since I need a faster way to draw It. Please coment. also, votes are wellcome. I've made a page for the control: http://www.geocities.com/isbutton3/ Update Includes lot of fixes and Checkbox behavior and Value property. If you want a Multy style ComboBox try SComboBox ( http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=56157 ) Regards and Have fun

This is an FTP OCX control. What it does is provide easy to use FTP access to applications. Applications can choose weather to download the file to a location using this control or to strictly store it in a string and make it accessible to the application. This way you could use it to say download a text file from an FTP site in your text editor. I know this control will work in vb6, and I'm almost positive it will also work in VB 4 and 5 because it just uses API to achieve it's goal. Leave comments and suggestions. Thanks :)

If you need a lot of buttons on your forms then you can fairly easily draw them on and save resources.
