Flat toolbar with VB5? Now is possible

This code generates a 3D waterslide/hill side, how ever you see it as. Really cool concept, you can also create 3D triangles, 3D squares, and 3D Circles.

Subclass you form to stop users from resizing below a certain limit! If you hate the generic two-liners "If Me.Height

This is a very small function which is potentially useful for those who know where/how to use it. I used this function on several of my projects already if you're wondering if this code has any use at all. I'll post some of them later. This function also demonstrates the use of control arrays and loading objects during run-time and you'll probably learn the concept of form scaling.

This code will change the color of the "Blue Screen Of Death"

Makes a textbox transparent. Here's how I do it: Get the DC from the textbox hWnd. Paint the textbox text onto the textbox parent. Paint the parent's image onto the textbox. Pretty Simple eh?

FINALLY A FUNCTION THAT EVERONE CAN USE - Microsoft should have thought of this. This is a DATE/TIME calendar dialog that is created using only native Windows API. (See ScreenShot) NO FORM NEEDED! It is used / called like any normal function. EXAMPLE: MyText = ShowDate() This will show the Date/Time Calendar and allow the user to select a date/time from a calendar / clock. You can also supply a 'default' date for the calendar to start at. This is my first attempt at hooking with VB and researched all of the requirements online at the MSDN libraries. Vote if you are so inclined. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. *AMPM bug fixed *sorry* ENJOY

**********UPDATED*********** 90% speed increase for transparency math, as well as refresh speed. Also now uses a simple class module. Very easy to use and configure. I wrote this code to avoid having to design up and down images for projects with graphical skins. This code allows you to create rectangular and elliptical transparent buttons on any container without ActiveX controls. The code is completely modular and has many editable parameters.--- NOTE: If anyone knows how to hook / get procedure callbacks from classed-functions, please contact me.

Places a Progress Bar in a Status Bar, with Windows Common Controls 6, without any third party OCXs or API.

This post replaces a previous one which did not include the .dll file. All it does is demonstrate the use of gif89.dll to include animated gifs on vb forms

Captures Screen as fast as it is possible, I myself have used that old method of sending a PrntScreen Key deal, but this is HOT, it just uses Bitblt... Might come in handy for that guy who is making BOS or whatever its called. Capturing the screen though any other method is only doomed to be slower :)

Tiles a bitmap on your form. Fast and simple. Using the Bitblt API. There isn't much else to say about it. If you want to tile a bitmap on a form, this is as good as it gets.

This will take an object on a form, and place it in the center of the screen. Good for password protection programs that take up the whole screen, this will ensure that an object that you want in the middle of the screen, will remain there for any resolution.

PureGold Button Control features a sleek thin 3D border insted of the ugly thick border on standerd windows. It also has four other styles of borders for you to try (yes even the classic thick border one), and now MOST inportant of all it has the mouse over feature meaning the button is flat untill the mouse is over it!

Gives you application the Windows 95 look of a floating menu. Right click any where on the form and the menu will appear.

Resize and move controls during Runtime...very simple to understand

A little game that I created, it is a little like who wants to be a millionaire. You got three life lines and if you get one wrong then you're finished. There are only 38 questions there, but hey it's just a demo. The source code is in a zip file along with the exe.
