Snapping a form to the edge of the screen is easy enough in VB... that is, if you don't mind subclassing. If you'd rather not have to worry about subclassing and the pitfalls involved then these solutions may work for you. The implementation issue with VB is that it provides no mechanism for determining when you've clicked on the caption bar. The two examples presented in this article show how you can overcome this limitation in a couple of ways without resorting to subclassing. The first example, "Snap with Caption using Timer", shows how you can use a standard VB Timer control to determine when the mouse is requesting a form to move. The form's Moveable property is set to False at design-time and all movements are handled by our code. This allows us to take full control over positioning and snapping behavior. The second example, "Custom Snap Areas", demonstrates how snapping can be done without a Timer, so long as you don't mind having a captionless form. This example also demonstrates setting up custom snap areas independent of the screen size. Thanks for reading and I hope you find my code useful.

This is to show U how to Add ScrollBars in the Form So the Controls in the Form Moves Up & Down or Left & Right According to the Scrollbars.

Sort of Emulates the Windows XP Statusbar

This code will close all other MDI Child except the current activated one.Simply put this procedure in Module or Form itself..There are two different way to use it.

Update: Thanks to neal who added the support for the maximize like button which makes the docked window maximize along with titlebar appearing on the side on top/bottom windows. TabDock is designed to provide Docking support similiar to that seen in Visual Basic itself, VC++, and a number of other programs available on the market today. It was originally written by Marclei V Silva and though an excellent control it was somewhat on the buggy side and was missing a number of features. This version has many of the desired features and all the known bugs have been worked out of it. It also directly incorperates the ssubtmr.dll from vbaccelerator so it is no longer a seperate requirement. New titlebar drawing methods are offered as well to give you options on how titlebars are drawn, and bottom/top docking is done side by side instead of on top of eachother. Also a persistant option is included which allows the tabdock control to automaticly load it's saved state up for you. It saves it even if the persistant state is off but will only read it and use it if the persistant state is on. It uses the registry. Comments are welcome, and appreciated. You may modify and repost this code. The original author gave myself and Neal permission and the same permission is extended from us to you. This code is fairly advanced, and uses a lot of subclassing to achieve it's effect. Please note it is not recomended you close the IDE while running this through the IDE, it will likely crash if you do. Anyway enjoy :)

This control is an update to the excellent HookMenu control written by Vlad Vissoultchev. New features/fixes include o fully customisable colour scheme (allowing Office 2003 style menus) o new properties dialog o menu column support o Accelerator Key support for NT os (thanks Vlad) o various menu drawing issues o + Many More Thanks to Vlad, originally for the control, for help with the Accelerator key support and his agreement to repost this updated version of the Hookmenu control. Also thanks to: Carles P.V. for his coolist - that was ammended to suit this control. Any bugs please report. Updated: 20/11/2003 Thanks To Neal Who Fixed The Bug Relating To The Seperator Lines Being Selected When They Shouldn't.

Use FLAT BUTTON IN TOOLBAR like Office 97 without OCX... Just an API function. Very simple and optimizing code size.

This project will show how you can download any file (image, file, page etc) from the internet without the use of Winsock or API calls. All done with straight VB code (and not much of it either). Very straight forward (at least to me). The logic here can easily be added to ANY project without any modification.

A group menu like Ms Access, it can scroll when you click the button. When you over the button it will enlarging the size with sound. No need an api, it was simple and good for basic of a beginer. Vote me if you like it.

This is a very simple and precise solution to keep a form on top of only one other form. I was looking for a solution, but couldn't find it anywhere. All the codes and suggestions either keep the form on top of All windows programs or on top of the whole application. But this one will only keep one form on top of another one.

[v 1.01] This is a control that provide selection one of more options. It's builded from standard option button control but instead of true/false it returns an index of selected option. It's usefull when you need many options controls.

This small program shows you how to use a label as a command button and how to apply some cool effects to these labels, like lighting up when your mouse pointer hovers over them etc. This example also explains how mouse based events work.

Lots of people including me, have or still are, creating custom controls that emulate the look and feel of Windows XP. To some this may seem as a waste of time because a Manifest will do all the hard work for you and repaint the boring normal controls in the new XP look. However so many client machines don't have XP yet and if someone has made these XP style of controls for you then why not use them. Also if you want to use a Progress Bar, Status Bar or Tab Strip control you still have to carry around that Comctrl32.ocx which almost every Vb`er hates. If its a Tab Strip control you are looking for, then I hope this one is good enough for you to freely use in any of your projects. The control is far from being perfect and future enhancements will be made when I have the time. Enjoy

Makes easy the compression of an avi file by leting you choose and configure one of the available(installed) video codecs while it enhances the process a bit .Also it provides a handy preview.

A "frame to bitmap' converter actually which after you select the *.avi file it starts IMMEDIATELY to convert every frame to bitmap.A frame preview would come in handy.

Don't expect miracle. This is a useable DriveListBox/DirListBox/FileListBox (VB default control) usercontrol. Its purpose is to browse a file. It is fully commented and good for beginner that interested in creating Active-X as a starting point because it only had basic property so you won't get confuse. You can drop this control to your app for quick file browser. Or you can make it as a template to simplified your project that needed the use of the three controls. I need feedback,comments etc., thanx

Ever though of a Balloon popUp like u see in the Win XP.. Here it goes .."Gudds Balloon popUp" You can configure it the way you want, ie you can set to close it automatically, set the icon or having no icon at all, show/hide close button, font face, font size. You can position at three places..at current mouse cursor position, at some defined co-ordinate (X,Y position) or at the location of a particular control..Check it! I am trying to introduce the fade out effect. Please give ur feedback
