Easy-to-use template for creating a non-rectangular form. So simple, even Homer Simpson could use it (if he had a computer).

This is the EASIEST way to have scrolling marquee text in a label. 'No long useless code.

This code was originally coded using 16-bit Win API function calls and I switched to 32-bit... looks like I missed some in the first release. If you discover any OVERFLOW problems, it's because of this fact. I think I got them all. Anyway, here's the intro... It would be ideal to have a generic print routine that could print to the printer or to the screen depending on what you pass it. This project shows you how to create printing routines that can print to the printer or to a picture box. This enables you to add print preview capabilities to your Visual Basic applications. Since there are several ways that you could implement print preview in your applications, this project describes one method that is easy to do in Visual Basic and works well.

This Program will make colorful fireworks. The code is kinda short, but it looks so cool. I've included many directions/explanations that will help you change the input value.

gridClass is a read-only grid comprised of text box arrays. I use it to display information from an Access database and it was developed after expriencing total frustration with the grid provided with VB6. It could be modified to be updatable and I may find time at a future date to do that.

THE PROBLEM: VB allows regular forms to be instantiated from an ActiveX DLL...but does not allow MDI child forms to be instantiated from an ActiveX DLL! THE SOLUTION: MDIChildMaker! Now you can put your forms in a seperate ActiveX DLL and use them as MDI children forms in your main application's MDI form! NOTE: This is not a trivial example, but uses native VB subclassing techniques. This is one code solution EVERY VB programmer MUST have! Check out www.cyberbiz.com

To create an "Office-style menu" (or owner-draw menu) you must register that menu item with Windows as MF_OWNERDRAW and then process the WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM messages sent to the menu's parent window. The attached project file simplifies this process by encapsulating all menu drawing operations in a class called "COwnMenu" and hiding the details of working with Windows in a code module entitled "OMenu_h." With this mini-system in place, all you have to do to get owner-drawn menus in your program is call SetSubclass on the menu's owner form and RegisterMenu to set a menu item as owner drawn. The provided example project contains complete documentation.

It's a single function, without API's, that loads an image and puts it in a destination PictureBox. If the source image is bigger that the destination PictureBox, then it will resized to fit in (mantaining the ratio). In other words, the image loaded will nicely fit the destination, but will not be deformed. If the source is smaller, then it will remain that size... This function is an upgrade (in speed, error trapping and results) of Jason Monroe original post. Thanks Janson.

This Code Show The Menu Hint In The Status Bar. Is a Control For You. Please DownLoad IT!!! I Change Some BUGs. The Source Code Is Here. No DLL. No OCX. Vote ME!!. FULL SOURCE CODE!!!!. . Muestra el item del menu sobre la Status Bar. Votenmen!!! Viva Argentina!!! Le cambie algunas cositas. Cuando se sale del menu se limpia el status bar.

Advanced Controls - SuperTree 1.0 NonStandard Tree based Data Browser, Customize your node look, and you can get really usefull non-standard hierarchical data browser.

Hi. This a control that act as a command button, option button, checkbox, frame, menu and more by setting just a couple of properties. Let me know what you think. Paul

**UPDATED 7-31** Now you can... ->Customize the toggle button ->Add a custom Icon ->Set the Titlebar Back Color ->Set the Titlebox BackColor **END UPDATE** A toolbox that is collapsable (see the screenshot) its pretty self explanatory, you can collapse/expand it programatically by calling the Collapse or Expand method. This conrol acts as a container too! Please vote for me if you like this control, I will update it as necessary. Please leave ANY comments that you have, and feel free to email me!

This is just like a standard progress bar except you can choose the color of the progressbar. You can specify and dynamically change the color of the progress bar at any time. Very easy to use, very small. NEW FEATURE*- Rounded Progress bar - give your progress bar a new look by making it rounded. To use feature, change the Shape property of the progressbar to 4. I tried to comment the best i can - but 1. I'm not a good commenter, and 2. The code is so simple its self-explanatory.

THE GREAT CHAMELEON BUTTON STRIKES BACK!!! THIS TIME WITH LOADS OF NEW FEATURES ADDED! IT NOW HAS 13 DIFFERENT BUTTON STYLES, SUPPORTS PICTURES, FONT EFFECTS AND MUCH MORE! SEVERAL BUGS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED AND A LOT OF FIXES WERE DONE TO THE CODE. ONCE YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL NEVER WANT ANYTHING ELSE THAN THIS! ADD STYLE TO YOUR APPLICATIONS, ADD VALUE TO THEM, BUILD MARVELOUS USER INTERFACES AND IMPRESS THE USERS OF YOUR PROGRAM. HAVE FUN!!! UPDATE: Some bugs/flaws fixed in ver 2.0.5 & 2.0.6 JUNE 08, 2003 >> A BRANCHED VERSION HAS BEEN POSTED TO FIX SOME CRITICAL BUGS, THIS IS STILL FOR NO COMMERCIAL USE.

[UPDATED] - Added three new Subroutines: LoadTEXT, SaveTEXT, and Clear. Also updated the sample application to show more of the functionality. Ability to Count Lines, Words, Characters, get the cursor position, Undo, ClearUndoBuffer, TopLine, BottomLine, UnSelect, LineLength, LineData, LineIndex, VisibleLines, IsDirty, ReadOnly (YES, it IS different from Locked), and others. It gives these abilities to make it easier to use these functions (some of which are found in the RichTextBox control) to a simple TextBox control. Read the README.txt contained in the ZIP (which is also included in the VB Project) to see how each property/function/subroutine is used. There is also a sample included.

The problem with standard TextBox is that it background isn't and can't be transparent, I've developed the transparent text with standard Label objects. You can't type in text in Label object at Runtime, but with help of PictureBox you can type characters and edit text in Label objects. All Label objects which you want to be transparent and editable you must put on one PictureBox, and PictureBox will then work with Label objects… You can use the transparent text with "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" - "FM20.DLL", but there is one problem: this ActiveX component is not recommended to use, and it'll work only on computers with Microsoft Office 98 or late installed.

Does what the title says, adds a big crosshair that follows your mouse in your whole application, dig it!

Credit for this code really must go to *vcv* who submitted this earlier and did a very good job on it. I simply added hooks to a status bar and fixed a SubScript error. The menu item and the status text may be set in the same sub to make it easy to keep in sync.

This is a more complete version of the code I uploaded a couple days ago... Has two forms.. Graphical and Non Graphical Both work together so if you start typing something in then switch modes it will copy the information over. I implemented this as a payment popup (this is just the credit card fields) I am not finished with the whole thing yet. The Mod10 is a lot smaller than any I have looked as of yet. It changes colors of the textboxes when invalid. Restricts input to digits only in the graphical version... non-graphical you could get some stuff through but the code was getting fat trying to stop all the errors. It also plays around with pictures, frames, extensively with textboxes. Also see "another money text field" I uploaded earlier today in which I still have to implement in this project. BTW Please vote or leave a comment (critisism(sp?) welcome)

The purpose of this control was to replace the standard VB command button with a button that was far more configurable and had many more options so that it would require less programming on the part of the developer to use nice looking buttons. This release corrects a problem with pushing the button several times very quickly and the button would only show the animation once per two quick clicks. Also fixed a bug in the Option Button implementation that would allow an option button to become "un-clicked" (value of false) without having another option button with a value of true. I've improved the modularity of the HSL color code and decided to use HSL blending for the new style borders and for the caption styles. This should be the last VB release of Gradient Button assuming there are no major bugs. The C++ version (v2.0.0) is coming along quite well, but there is still alot of work to be done. I still have to add an About box, OLE events and code, code tweaking, lots of documentation and lots of testing. It is still probably a few months away from full release.
