Replacing the nasty bsOctControls is the latest in BadSoft tomfoolery - the bsPolygonButton. This control will let you create a 3D button with between 3 and 100 sides, with customisable colours. For more UserControls please visit http://www.badsoft.co.uk/activex

Gradient Progress Bar v2 is the second version in its series. This progress bar now comes with 12 types of gradient in two main categories: horizontal gradient and vertical gradient. They are 6 colors in each category. Comments are welcomed. If you liked this progress bar, please vote.

This control is like Windows Task Manager performance scrollers. It's pretty simple, so the lack of comments :-( shouldn't be a problem. The main useful bit is bulding the scroller in a hidden picture box, and using bitblt to move it onto the UserControl (so we don't have to keep adding to the memory required for the display). There are a few properties for the colours and grid settings, and the whole thing's runtime resizeable (though I don't know why you'd want to do that). Feel free to use/modify/improve etc. this for your own stuff - hope you find it useful!

This control lets you have Office XP Style or Rendered Toolbar buttons (useful for skinning forms). The style can be switched dynamically if you like. See the 'SetButtonStyle' procedure on Form1 for details on using the control. The control includes Steve McMahon's excellent vbAccelerator Subclassing module, and some snippets picked up from Planet Source Code - thanks to all! Feel free to use and/or improve the control - comments and suggestions very welcome. Hope you find it useful!

Text box with all extensions which one always need. No more MSMASK!!! Finally!

This is a response to Ralnautikuus upload 'BackBorders' txtCodeId=55728. Still not perfect but cute. You can create a decorative form which conceals additional controls behind the decorations, by modifying the menu on the UserControl you can extend or limit the end-users ability to interact with the control. ----------------------------------------- Suggestions, bugs gratefully accepted.

This little project is an OLD DOS style floating button. You can change the font, shadow color,font color, button color.

Basic FolderView user control (only standard folders). // 21Kb zip

This Article shows you how to download 36 ActiveX controls. Microsoft is giving them away for free.

TreeView subclassing to adding a number at right of treeview text items (like Outlook Express)

Building on my previous transparent bullet labels submission, I have built this control which draws transparent checkboxes. It is still a work in progress but ready for feedback. One drawback, it uses the dreaded GetKeyState + Timer combination to capture mouse clicks within the control rectangle. If anyone knows a better way to trap mouse events on the transparent parts of a control, I'd be happy to hear it...Anyway, it is functional...just launch the .vbg file...

This is an update to the first project. This example shows how to use an external source for the Menu. Like setting up themes for your app. This code is for creating a sweet custom looking navigation method on your project using basic HTML and CSS web scripting. Executing the 'document.write' function write to the Microsoft Web Browser Control. Creating a menu this way allows it to be sort of dynamic allowing it to have many customizations.

A custom control I made for a program to save time. Its a custom button using your own pictures. Accurately detect when mouse enters, leaves, or is pressed. Please vote/leave comments :)

With this user control, you can have the very sleek GUI of a window from Mac OS X Panther (www.apple.com/macosx). All you need to do is draw the control on a form, and use 3 lines of code in the Form_Load event, or you can change it at Design-Time to be able to put controls and such in it like a frame control. This is version 0.0.1, so if I decided to work on this project further, you'll probably see features such as several window styles to pick from (i.e. the lines). For right now this control only works on Windows XP, and maybe 2000, I'm not quite sure about that one. I really hope you enjoy this, and rate it well if you consider it to be a good control, because I have spent about 27 hours total on this thing. (Keywords: OSX, OS X, Mac, Panther, GUI).

Second unicode control in the series, UniCommand is just as easy as an usercontrol can be: add .ctl to your project and you're ready to use it! *** Supports unicode under NT4/2000/XP and works under 9X series. You can choose from various borderstyles, define if the focus rectangle is shown and have all the neat functionality from the UniLabel as well! I made it work very much like VB's default command button. You are free to code the control further and repost it here! (possible additions could be solid one color border, Office XP style, graphics, caption padding, checkbox/option mode, Windows XP style...) *** Hope the control fits your needs. And again, the more interest, the more likely I'm to do more free unicode controls! :)

This code is a simple example to illustrate using friend methods (or functions, etc...) to pass information between objects within a project (ocx,dll,etc...). The purpose of this example is to show people unfamiliar with friend procedures how they can enable you to develop components that only expose the properties/procedures you wish to make available to your target audience.

This is a skinable ProgressBar This is version 2.0. © HardStream Productions

I did not make this VBP, it was made by Evan Toder, but as it so good i thought it deserved to be here. This really does look good, all i have done is modified it so that it is easier to undertsand. Plus i have marked out points where you should edit the project. Nothing else needed, just extract and run. Please read the Readme.txt as it will explain alot about the code.

A replacement for Sheridan's 3D (THREED32.OCX) SSPanel and SSFrame controls. This is not a direct replacement because some of the property names are different. A good alternative when using XP manifest files over VB's Frame control and a picture box (which contains a lot of overhead). This control has 70 different border combinations and 3 text styles that can be positioned one of 15 possible locations. You can change the background, highlight and shadow colors; add gradient fill and/or fill with a pattern. Also included: Line3D control, automatically create a manifest file, link XP themes to the application, and End an application the proper way. Please see the Readme file for a listing of the property definitions.

An Update To The VB Accelerator Tab Control. The Tab Now Supports Xp Style Rendering. Since Steve Has Not Replied To My Emails And The Code Is Lying About On My Computer Doing Nothing, I Thought I Would Upload It So Other People Could Use It (If They Like). Note: Steve Must Take Credit For His Original Works, I Only Updated The Drawing And Fixed A Few Bugs. Although The Original Code Is Not Commented Very Well, You Can See The Changes Made By Searching For 'Ammended By' Kind Regards Gary
