This code allows you to have an autocomplete function on any text boxes by creating an instance of the class module below and setting a text control on a form to is CompleteTextbox property. Ideal for those situations when you have multiple autocompletes. (Visual Basic 6 Only - Can easily be modified for 5.0 users)

This code enables you to have an MDI Child form "dock" with the MDI form like the toolbar found in the VB5/6 IDE and in various other applications. It can dock to any of the four sides of the form. Currently only support for one toolbar is there (i.e. the toolbar in VB as opposed to the project explorer and properties on the right side). This functionality may come soon.. If you find any bugs, please let me know via email or post the solution here.. An executable is also included. This code is a variation of the post found here: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=3843 It *REQUIRES* the MsgHook32 OCX found here: http://www.mvps.org/vb/code/msghook.zip

WhizzoMenu Control. This control uses forms,graphical effects and hard code. all you have to do is understand how to use my control to create your own menus. This control doesn't use VB's Menu system and it doesn't use Windows Menu API. This control is also customizable. See the screenshot.

Colored ListBox Control with Horizontal Scroll. List box supports up to 16 colors! Pure Visual Basic Code!

New version of my fader control! A fader is like a slider, only it looks like those things on mixing desks. No OCX needed, just add this tiny (4kb zipped) control to your project and you can use it from the toolbox. It is transparent, so it will go with whatever color scheme you choose. It also is now resizable, and you can set its bordercolors. enjoy!

Displays the progress on a cursor. It doesn't seem to work on W95/98 machines, I apologize for that. I have developed this on a Win2K and never tested it on other versions of windows. If anyone gets it to work on 95/98, let me know. :)

This is a Skinnable OptionButton. Works like the original OptionButton provided by MS. Fixed problem when setting all optionbuttons value to true in desing time. Now only one can have value set to true in design time.

Creates a translucent window. No DLL/OCX, No flick, No Static, No headache !! You create a new form, copy and paste into General Declarations section, and [F5]... " Já foi pra conta!" It's done... >

To disable form's system menues.(close,Min,Max)

Have you ever wanted to display an extra button or two next to the minimize, maximize and close buttons? Now you can! Just download this easy to use ActiveX control and you're done. Compile it (it's safer that way in the IDE) and just add some to your form. The only thing you'll need to do manually is position the buttons on your window's caption bar (only if you have more than one), set a picture to use on it and you'll receive nice MouseMove, MouseUp, MouseDown and Click events from it, just like a normal button. A test project is included, see the screenshot.

This is an example of creating borderless forms. It will help you create your own look for your application, if you would like to move away from the typical Microsoft Standard.

Make your own slider. Complete graphical slider control: Vertical/Horizontal orientation, ShowValueTip option, Long values... Sample project and some images included.

Updated! Very nice command button (ActiveX control) with gradient filling. If client screen color depth is 256 colors or less – looks as regular command button. You can change caption-image order (position) from left to right or top to bottom. When created this control - used two algorithms from www.planet-source-code.com. Want to say personal thank you to: Rocky Clark (Gradient filter algorithm); Manuel Augusto Santos (Emboss filter algorithm). Please rate it! E-mail bugs to [email protected]. Feel free to use this control in your application (if you'd like to) as much as you want. If you'll modify it - please leave my name in the About box! Enjoy! PS: (Please rate it)

The code changes the form shape to either 'Elliptic', 'Rounded Rectangle', 'Rectangle', 'Polygon' or 'Picture-Shaped'. In the code you can also see how to COMBINE different shapes, so you can create a very neat interface. These functions are in my code: 1. Change Form Shape (See above) 2. Nice interface (somewhat like XP I believe) 3. Move and Resize a border-less form (Borderstyle = '0 - None') 4. On Resize - align controls (class module) 5. Text in Pictureboxes 6. EasyMove forms 7. Change Picture Shape There aren't many comments in the source, but it doesn't have to be either, even a "newbie" will understand what's going on... Before the code only showed how to change the form's shape, now it also shows how to change shapes of picture-boxes. In fact, I believe you can change the shape of everything that has a hWnd variable... I haven't tried it, but I think you can show oval videos too!!! (or polygon or whatever you wish...) Please vote... Anyway, here's an FAQ: Q: Is it simple? A: Yes! -------- Q: How simple? A: Very... -------- Q: Is this Windows XP or VB.NET? A: Nope, I used Win98 and VB 6.0 -------- Q: Is all this code made by you? A: No, but the thanks are in the source. -------- Q: Are you the best programmer in the world? A: Who, me? Thank you for reading this - now download, try out and vote! (If there's anything that's not working or you wish me to add, please let me know!) /Mikael Nordfelth Picture-shaped-form has been renewed, now it's not Niknak's code... (it was quite slow compared to this)

Creates text boxes and labels 'on the fly'. Type the number of textboxes/labels you wish to have and hit create and it will create them for you. Found similar code and decided to play with it. :\

This control, when dropped on a borderless form will size itself to that of the form, and wala you have a new window. The window has all the abilities of the normal windows, it can be maximized, minimized, and can be manually resized. Also has a nifty lost and got focus effect, like that seen in Visio 2000 Professional. If you like this please drop me a line and tell me, or if you want to see something in it that isn't and don't know how to do it then let me know and I'll try. Once you load the control, click on the (Custom) property to see how to set up the form focus effect (only 2 lines) ***Update 1 11/21/01*** I found a temporary solution to the Focus effects problem but I'm still looking for a better method, check the control out and let me know if you know of a way to solve this is like api or something. ***Update 2 11/21/01*** FORM FOCUS EVENT PROBLEM FIXED, COMPLETELY FUCTIONAL NOW.... This control now uses SmartSubClass from www.vbsmart.com, you must have it in order to use this control, but its worth it, they also have some other sweet free controls..

Have you ever wanted to have your project set up to have people have to register with you to unlock certain parts of the project. Well, i have made a simple to use control just for this purpose. Just slap this control onto a form, set a few values, and you will be able to generate custom keys depending on the name of the users computer, or a serial number. You can also use a combonation of these to make a harder to crack key. What the code does is, if the setting is set to ComputerName, it finds out the name of the computer, goes through my alogorithim, and makes a key for that name. When the use puts that key into a text box or something, you can call my control to see if that key is correct. The control will respond with a boolean value, if the key is correct, it will be true, but if the control determines the key to not be right, it will reject the key with a false value. This code is heavily commented (prolly more comments then code), but the code is effectivly explained (well in my eyes it is), and will show you how to set this up. Also included in this visual basic group, is a sampel program giving the basics on how to use the control. This is only version 1.0, i plan on updateing it with more features in the future, maybe something along the lines of add a demo-time limit function to it, where it will only allow the user to use a program for a specified amount of time. Feel free to use this code in your own programs, but if you just copy/paste it from here, i would apprieciate some credit. :D. If you have any questions/comments/or anything else, post here, or email me at [email protected]. Last, if you use this, and if you want, place a vote on this project. Thanks for reading, and i hope you enjoy this program.

This OCX records all mouse and keyboard activities for later playback with original timing. May (but should not) also be used as a stealth keylogger. Try playing back the attached TEST.RCD file :-).

This UserControl will take the existing Picture on any form and cut out the form wherever the MaskColor is found. This method is MUCH quicker than the pixel by pixel region creation I've seen on several sites. Features an AutoDrag property to allow the form to be dragged without a titlebar. Also features a PopupSysMenu method to activate the form's system menu at specified coordinates. No need to remove your Titlebar, TransForm cuts that out too, but it's still visible on the taskbar if you want. Comes with full source code and a demo project.
