Learn every aspect of DirectX8 now! This HUGE tutorial covers DirectX 8, DirectSound8, DirectInput8, Direct3D8. It includes everything - from knowing nothing to having a good grasp of DirectX 8 with Visual Basic. It even goes beyond that and explains the logic needed to create 3D geometry and animation. There is a fully documented sample program too! And a glossary of terms - not just DirectX terms - but general programming and 3D mathematics too! The best DirectX 8 tutorial you are ever gonna get for free! Even people who already know DirectX should read this, as it goes onto more complex subjects. Especially people who have learnt DirectX 7 or earlier. Please remember to give me lots of feedback and votes so I know how to make future tutorials!

This is a fully functional (well, upload doen't work very well and is disabled) FTP server designed for L.A.Ns (ie no username/password.. Anon users only). It is extreemly easy to use (i think so anyway) and uses Winsock DLL only. There is a bit to be done on it but I only really made it to learn Winsock DLL. So take it, cut it up, whatever just don't sell it at all. This is freeware.. keep it that way. - UPDATED: All files now here =]

Create and edit bitmaps. Can load .jpg and .gif but can only save as bitmap. Written fairly quickly just for fun. Some commenting but not as much as I normally like to do

This shows how to use the Microsoft OCX file NTSVC.OCX to use Visual Basic as a Windows NT Service (NT4/NT2000 or HIGHER). (OCX file included)

This is the source code to the largest project that I've ever worked on -- neXus 1.0a. neXus is based on an application that was created by Tyson Westby about one year ago. It's function is to allow Visual Basic programmers to modify the shape of the Form without having to include a bulky ActiveX control. The way it did this was to harness the power of the Windows GDI, and other API calls. But don't take my word for it, download the source code and try it out! And please, take the time to vote and leave feedback!

This is just a simple little game I made. You have to hit the right key (shown at the bottom - A,S,D,J,K,L) anytime after the block gets by the red line. But make sure it doesn't hit the bottom or it's game over! Sound easy right? Wrong - it gets harder. If the block turns red you have to hit the key 2x!!! Wow. Heheh, give it a try and let me know what you think.

It is a way to use the Win 32 API to edit the registry to suit your need. Please rate my code.

Surfs the internet through simple, yet effective code. New versions coming soon. Made on VB6 - don't know about other versions. If you like it vote!!!!

a very very simple shooting game. this is the first time I write classes in vb, so my OOD isnt very good (very poor actually). and because i lacked the graphics, so i captured some pictures from some sources (if anyone objects my use of those graphics PLEASE let me know and i'll remove them) And, please vote and leave a comment! (due to time limit, the game is obviously unfinished, so if you vote badly because of that, i have nothing to say...)

A simple example that shows you how to : 1 - Retrieve a HTML document via the XMLHTTP object 2 - POST data either by the POST/GET method via the XMLHTTP object This extends from my previous simple example of posting with a WEBBROWsER control. Since the MSXML.dll comes with IE5+, distributing an app that uses this wouldn't be much of a problem. This is the basis I'm using for a bigger sample I will be putting up once it is done. Feedbacks are welcomed..

PlanetSource code is a life for VB programmers. I have learned many thing from this website so I felt I will give this code to all the programmers who are willing to learn the database concepts. I tried for this kind of code but all in vain. Dont worry. This is the best and the ultimate code for all the Database programmers who have been waiting for ages. The whole world is looking for a control of this sort. I as a enterprise solution provider found it very difficult to debug the recordset and find the exact match in the recordset by pressing F8 .. F8 .. F8. Dont you think doing this way wastes your time and money... The main purpose of this code is to print the contents of the recordset of ADO,DAO,RDO. Within a fly we can see the contents of the recordset. This will save a lot of time. The main purpose of this code is to pin point the exact location of the data that we need. We use filters to check the data and reduce the recordset to find the exact match. But this control by clicking on the tab sort the contents of the recordset and display to us. You can change the order of the recordset fields by dragging.

This application will allow users to automatically insert error trapping and procedure level header comments into files and or entire directories. This app lets users decide which types of files to apply the error handling and/or comments to. Inserted code is based upon user-defined templates. Several templates are included for starters: form error trapping (raises a message box); module/class error trapping (raises the error to the calling function - retains error stack); Comment template. I used this program to insert error handling into itself! :) THis app requires Microsoft ADO 2.5. This program also requires the Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll) which can be obtained by installing any one of the following packages: Windows Script Host Windows NT Option Pack Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0 Scripting 3.1 upgrade Visual Studio 98 Visual Basic 6.0

This application will allow users to rename files en-mass in a selected directory based on a search criteria. Files will be returned based on a search string, users can select which files to rename. I use this for correcting MP3 file names that i download (remove underscores, correct capitalization etc) (I used the "Little Helper: Auto Insert Error Trapping / COmments" to insert error handling into this code :) find it on this site! )

I tried to make this as light as possible just add it to your app and call SearchDirs. It takes two arguments the path to search in and the file or directory to find. It puts alot of Data on the Call Stack however it's very very fast. 3 API's, 5 Constants, 3 User Types, no activex or OLE runtime objects. Thanks and feel free to email if you have any questions

And now for the 3rd sample in the popular VisualEffects series, the AlphaBlending. Alphablending tehnique was introduced in Windows 98. It allows you to blend two images smoothly by selecting image's transparency. Well commented and don't forget to check out VisualEffects #1 & #2, the translucency and transparency. Also, if like it or not, please vote & comment and encourage me and all of us to keep on providing each other with coded solutions. Thank you, MrHippo
