Confused how to make a database programming using ADO Code? This project shows you how to make a complete ADO Code database programming with: navigation (move first, move next, move previous, move last), add, update, delete, cancel, refresh, find first, find next, filter, unfilter, sort (ascending-descending), bookmark, and adjust datagrid's column. This project uses reference "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library" and database Microsoft Access 97. I made this project by using "VB Application Wizard" in Visual Basic's Project Type Dialog Box and I choose "ADO Code" and "Master-Detail" through "Data Access From". Then I modified the code by adding find, filter, sort, and bookmark procedure - each of them in one form. I made findfirst and findnext procedure because there is no findfirst and findnext in ADO. I added "Match whole word only" checkbox in Find form, also in filter procedure/form. I made "Bookmark" procedure, too. I didn't use ADO's bookmark property. The first time I posted this code, I used Indonesia language for comments in source code. Now I have translated them to English, include Label, Field Name, Help, etc. I hope this will help you to understand the code. Any comments and votes would be appreciated. Enjoy!!!

First: All thanks to Ron van Tilburg for the amazing VB GIF encoder (original post: CodeId=14210. For GIF decoding, check Vlad Vissoultchev's work: CodeId=44216). This simple application lets you import (dither) to 8-bpp bitmaps and save as GIF format. Transparency and trailing comment now supported. About palette imports: only Halftone-216 and optimal palette are allowed, anyway, you could easily add custom palette import.

This is the XP Command Button recreated by me. There are 7 custom borderstyles and of course the original windows xp borderstyle. Like the original button it responds to the mouse entering and leaving. This button has the Default and Cancel Button property so it can be the default button. It also reacts very similarly to the original buttons. It has accesskeys set up so that any alt combo can make the control click (like standard buttons) You can choose gradient background or solid background (solid is fast, while gradient is slower) The great thing about this control is that I have seen other Xp controls and i have spent so much time making my one fast aswell as good. It can redraw at 2000 times a second (with gradient background) on my Pentium III 866 MHz. Similar controls I have tried redraw at 20 times a second. There are transparent corner pixels now and a few other things I changed which I don't remember.

This function will display the file property dialog for any file you specify - it is the same one that Windows Explorer shows when you right click and goto 'Properties'. The original article can be found at: http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/shell/propertypage.htm

This is an AIM (aol instant messenger) clone. It demonstrates how to connect and send messages to the AOL server by using the TOC protocol.

Determine when your app is being closed by Windows OS, or by Task Manager or by user. This can be useful when you have to do cleaning up before your app exits.

Although ADO specification does not provide objects to compact Microsoft Access databases, this capability can be achieved by using the ADO extension: Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider and Replication Objects (JRO). This capability was implemented for the first time in the JET OLE DB Provider version 4.0 (Msjetoledb40.dll) and JRO version 2.1 (Msjro.dll). These DLL files are available after the install of MDAC 2.1. You can download the latest version of MDAC from the following Web site:

This app will collect your system information, save it to a bitmap and then set your desktop wallpaper to the system info bitmap. This is an excellent tool for support centres to aid with information gathering when a client PC and/or application is not behaving. There's a lot of code here: Collect CPU info Get IP Address (no winsock) Capture the screen Save a bitmap Set the desktop wallpaper bitmap Set the desktop wallpaper tiling off Refresh the desktop All this code is extractable for your own uses. This app requires GetCPU.dll. I have included it in the zip (renamed to GetCPU.txt - I wonder if PSC will allow it - simply rename it from txt to dll and place it in c:\windows or winnt\system32\). Please vote and comment.

The version 1.03 is here! A total of 46 graphical routines, excellent speed and easy to use. All this and many, many more in this SDK. Also all 5000 lines of source-code now included for the taking. Check out the screen-shot! Don't wait, experience it!

This code reads from and write to an Icon Library format, a must for any icon editors. Stores multiple icons into a single file. As near as I can determine, this is the only shareware source code for reading and writing ICL files on the web, and I have done *extensive* searches! :-) Special Thanks to Duncan Jones for putting me onto the Portable Execution format. The ICL is actually a 16-bit "New Executable" (NE) format DLL file used by 16-bit windows, but this format only contains a Resource table and only icons stored therein. Many Icon Editor programs (i.e. Microangelo 98) read and write these 16-bit ICL files, but there is no reason why ICL files cannot be written to a 32-bit "PE" DLL file formatted similarly. Additionally this code also allows for the importing of icon files, and exporting of icons files, displays the count of the icons in the ICL, and the count of the images in each Icon. It returns the color depth in bits per pixel, width, and height of each Icon Image, and the name of the icon within the ICL. Thanks to the code from vbAccelerator, any particular Icon Image can be returned in a PictureBox. Windows XP 32-bit icons are supported in the ICL library, but I do not have the alpha-blending of its Mask working just yet. Currently it treats all the non-white bits in the mask as part of the mask, so black is displayed. I have not tried it on my XP system yet, so if anyone has any ideas, please post a comment or email me directly. Please leave me a comment, criticism, bug report, yada, yada, yada. Vote if you like, I am not looking for fame. =^-^=

Fast Bit-shifting Class Demo (Update + ASM files)by Robert Rayment. Thanks to David Fritts for highlighting this method on PSC (CodeId=45885). I've corrected the assembler and Ulli has recast it in his own inimitable style with some explanations. In fact the method is the self-same as that used by Dmitry (CodeId=11830) a few years ago. The main point is that, when comparing fast EXEs, this bitshifting class is over 10 times quicker than the standard VB way using functions of the form 2^p. This description is extended in Notes.txt.

=> VeryWellsStatusBarXP - Sorry folks for my upload mistake! For new release 1.2 (6/10/2003) with fine new feature plz goto ___ http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=45877&lngWId=1 ____ All votes are welcome - thx !

This app works like DOS. However, it currently only supports variable modifying commands (such as 'set', 'reset'). It works in much the same way as id's engines manipulate and use their variables. I wrote it to include it in a game engine I'm fiddling with or more to the point, to a script parser I'm writing for the game engine. It's sort of a work in progress at the moment with lots of room for expansion (like maybe a binary search for the variable look-ups, or put some commands in it). If you like it vote for it! Enjoy. UPDATE 1: I added command and constant processing ability. I wrote the procedures for each as straight forward and as easily modifyable as I could. Enjoy.

It's a nice simple but very effective bot. It has some brand new features never before seen on aol. It features a multi user bot system in which the user will be prompted when he enters the room to type ".handle "your handle", and that's when the fun begins. You can store your contact info on it like your website or AOL screen names and AIM screen names. You can also to many things like look up definitions to words,look up antonyms and synonyms, look up what the weather is like for a zip code, look up the meaning of your name, find out what your daily horoscope is, and much more.

Many people ask how to get certain system information and environ is the solution. Environ is a command that allows you to get system environmental information. It can also get any of the Environment Variables from the [System Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables] settings in windows.

Options for colors: background/gauge pointer(centre,fill,outline). Two gauge angles 180 degrees or 240. Hide/show percent bar(picturebox), scrollbar. Auto disable of user controlable features when in Peak mode. Note: The Background pictures (mostly transparent except for the dots around the gauge edge, the logo in the centre and the Min Max words) ARE 48x48 Icons, you can edit them to your desire (with any icon editor) using the two SPARE Images I provided as templates, to suit your own personal style/preference.

This is a standard system tray icon control with a "rare" feature in that it can detect when it should reload itself when explorer restarts. Have you ever noticed that when explorer.exe crashes and reloads, that most of the system tray icons don't reload? Well, now you can reload your icon automatically. Usefull, but I can't take full credit for the code. I got some of the code from a web site (the address is in the module header in the code). Any votes/suggestions welcome of course :-)

I had several forms with several controls on each. I wanted to clear each control, but I wanted to make it as painless as possible. This code takes a form and iterates through each control clearing the values. Currently, it works with text boxes, combo boxes, data pickers, and masked edit controls. all you have to do is pass a form name to the procedure. It uses the for each...next loop, along with the typeof method. I hope this helps.

SQL Writer Pro (using ADO) is a Universal Data Access (UDA) tool. It lets you query OLE DB data sources, author SQL scripts and queries, return query results to a grid, retrieve provider properties, execute multiple SQL scripts or stored procedures simultaneously, and more! This is a work in progress. I ran out of time before being able to complete this application. If you can improve upon it or complete it, please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy!
