You can make your forms transparant by adding this control to your form. You can set the transparancy level and you can fade in and fade out your forms with very litle coding (All the code you need is in the screen sample). Be aware that the transparancy will only work on Windows 2000. If you run the code on an other version, then you will just see the forms without transparancy. Yes, I have used the transparancy code that was published by others. Here is the reference for this: When i saw the code 21385 from faisal arif, i wanted to reproduce that. After a search on planet source code on transparancy i found a working sample 8015 from J.-A. Mock. I used this code as a base to crate the control. According to Reland Kluit this code is a 'stolen' copy of his code 6546

After figuring out how to rotate 2D sprites using Direct3D (check my other submissions), I wanted to do lighting. After reading some tutorials I gave up, they all used 3D, while I wanted to do 2D. There are other ways of faking light; making tiles in multiple shades at either design time or run time, but they're limited... So here it is: faked light using Direct3D to simulate 2D! It looks great, runs fast (if you've got a 3D card, my P133 with Voodoo 3 could easily run it, although not on software rendering mode), and allows dynamic setting of light brightness and color. So how does it work? Easy: it sets the color of a vertex (corner) to the brightness of the light at that specific place, after which Direct3D automatically adjusts the texture! Some limitations though: Light might seem choppy when moved (like in the example), but static lights will do much better... the smaller the tiles, the less you'll notice it, but I didn't want to fill the screen with 8x8 sized tiles... This won't work with multiple lights or multiple colors of lights, you'll need to adjust some algorithms for that to work. I'm working on this problem, if I finish it, I'll post it here offcourse. Enjoy, and don't forget to leave comments and vote! (You're free to use this code in your own programs/games, but I would appreciate it if you gave me some credit, thanks!)

Please leave comments. It helps me understand what people want or expect from a program like this. This is quite an advanced word processor. You can manipulate files, use the clipboard, print, print preview, setup page margins. You can also send documents as attachments through the email system, but you need the control, which is free, from Axsoft. Also, Microsoft Agent needs to be installed on your system. I have included the character here. Install it to c:\windows\msagent\chars folder. Once done, enjoy TypePad. If you have VCI VisualSpeller, you can also use this application to spell check. This program also can insert pictures from files, files, plus text files. To have the spell checker, a Borland product must be on your computer. Thank you for your interest.

The purpose of Block This is to show off one of the many exploits available for poorly coded URL filtering applications/proxies. It is very easy to use and can help anyone who is interested in creating some form of URL blocking program. In this new version of Block This (v2.0), the code is much smaller than it used to be. It also is easier for someone to understand if they wish to buils a similar application using my code as an example. If you like this code and you can put it to good use, please vote for it. I spent a long time fixing this code up and nothing would make me feel better than to know that people can make use of it. Special thanks to Adam Wechsler who was a big help in cleaning up the application!

Advanced Graphics Routines 3.2 is a Powerful, extremely fast collection of graphic routines that matches industrial standards.I wrote the main code in a C++ - dll, though it would be theoretically possible to write all the Code in pure VB, but VB is just to slow; this way is easier to use and much faster. This is a Completely Updated Version of the very successful, contest-winning predecessor, I improved all old functions and added many new ones. UPDATE 3.2 (3/6/2001): - New functions (listed below) - Increased readability of code - Improved GUI List of Graphical Functions: - Chrome (new 3.2) - Aluminium (new 3.2) - Hue rotation (new 3.2) - Saturation Adjustment (new 3.2) - Contrast Adjustment (new 3.2) - Brightness Adjustment (fixed 3.2) - Alpha Mask (new 3.0) - Mosaic Filter (new 3.0) - Relief (new 3.0) - Blur (new 3.0) - Invert (new 3.0) - Outline (new 3.0) - Flip (new 3.0) - New Masked Draw (new 3.0) - AlphaBlending - Bump Mapping - Rotating - Anti-Aliasing All functions can be controlled by these Parameters: - FlipX/Y - Invert - Greyscale - Use Mask Color - Anti-Alias The effects are realtime even for large pictures like 640x480. Furthermore the new package contains some useful TIMER/COUNTER functions, that are very useful for example for realtime-programming. I included some easy samples in VB and a complete VB-Demo to show all the possibilities of the library. I hope you like the product, and if so *please* vote for this really useful and extremely fast code! Feedback would be appreciated, too. Sincerely, Florian Egel There are lately some download problems, but if there are problems you can get the file at http://www.flomix.de/download/foxcbmp32.zip Additionally, you find the source code in C++ and a VB-only version here: http://www.flomix.de/download/foxcbmp_src.zip

This example program includes a module file (as well as accompanied .wav files for sound) that will turn a number from a text box into speech through the speakers. Right now works from numbers 1 to 999 trillion. This is just for numbers and a few symbols and does not do words. Please vote if you like it. :)

IE Tweak is a small project I made that will let you change things on Internet Expolrer 5 Like the Logo and change the Back Ground and add your Own Caption and also do other things. It's Still not all comleate at this stage but i will be adding more things to it soon. Please Vote if you Like it.

circular progress bar

This lesson will show you how to launch the screensaver with code. It's very simple and only takes a couple of lines of code to accomplish. The first part goes in a module.

U can change the System Colors as u like with my Change SysColor. After a long time of search I found the API (SetSysColor) to change the Colors of Window,Text,Hilight,Menu,MenuText etc... Also contain some useful function like mailto, and set the cursor etc. plz tell me if u found any bugs & always welcomes ur suggestions

This is an app I wrote early last year to see how far I could go with VBs' graphic editing capabilities. It's still a work in progress and could do with a rewrite. After Stu Lishman uploaded his latest version of Stu Paint I added Twain support, thanks Stu. The program was thrown together quickly but is none the less complete and working, with only one or two minor bugs. It does most things Paint Shop Pro will do. I have a version with layers that works quite well but is less complete than this version. It demonstrates cut, copy, paste, selection, freehand selection, shapes, multiple clipboards, color handling, effects, filter browser, inserting text, magnifying, rotation, inversion, MDI window control, toolwindows, MRU lists, Temp files, Undo/Redo, buttonising etc.etc. Some of the effects are modified versions of code downloaded from PSC. Unlike most of my other submissions there is very little commenting of code - it's too big now and I've forgotten more of the functions than I remember. For the more advanced coders however it should not be too difficult to follow. It was an experiment however, so there is some duplication of both code and controls, with heaps of room for optimising.

Threw this together to answer a group of questions in the Discussion forum. It is intended to help those just starting VB. It demostrates string manipulation, file handling, simple navigation, reading and writing to files. It includes four example apps that include menus, window handling, file properties and a basic text editor. Code for each function appear in a textbox ready to copy into your project. I hope this is of some help to people beginning VB. Good luck.

My new form that looks like menu, now updated using translucencies! Easy to use in your projects, all you need is to modify some things and it’s ready for use In your project! Please vote or leave some comments, telling me what should I make better, and let me now about its bugs!

A Dash Through the Woods by Robert Rayment. UPDATE: Improved bitmap creation (Having been goaded by Paul) plus some simple sound. This prog is based on the triplet StretchDIBits, byte arrays and assembler (as with 'Tunnels & Things' which got 10 excellent votes) except I've left out the assembler which means that it MUST be compiled so that the array manipulations are again dealt with by machine code. The prog will only produce a large bitmap file of smaller trees from a starting bitmap ONCE so that later runs can load up the byte arrays quickly. The creation of the bit maps is fast enough now so you could leave out the save to disk if you wanted to. It shows some other uses for StretchDIBits and 8-bit color byte surfaces, which might be of interest to some of you. No assembler is used. Trees are then put onto a drawing surface starting with the smallest and ignoring a white surround (masks not needed). By keeping and adjusting the x-position, direction and type of tree it looks like moving through some woods. Timing (using GetTickCount) and hence speed, the number of tree starts and their spread are on an options menu. The left & right cursor moves a little car to the left & right (actually the trees move in the opposite direction) and the up & down cursor changes the speed. You have to try not to hit the trees. Collision detection is based on x-coords. It needs compiling to an EXE to get a decent speed. Don't expect DirectX quality but I think its fun! The Zip file is 54 KB.

This code is a application I did for extra credit in History. Its pretty cool code. There is a map of europe and you must enter each country name. There is no buttons, so once the country name is correct it will be greyed out. It is also removed from the country list. There is alos other features such as password protected help. Check out the screen shot and leave comments or votes. Thanks in advance. Jason / VBGUY

A fully function webserver with heaps of features such as: scripting with database and file access, directory security and user access administration, fully logged server requests, graphical directory listing(fully customizable), http authentication, server side includes, images(some don't, dunno why? :), frames(some don't :), and with the scripting, u could make ur own online game, if u wanted to :)

This Code shows how to make real transparent forms without needing Win98 or W2k; it does not flicker and it automatically updates while moving. Even the Buttons are translucent! This code is another good example how to use my FoxCBmp3.dll, too, furthermore it demonstrates an alternative way to create cool effects with Buttons (like graphics, transparency, mask...)

Last month i uploaded the wrong files for this project and everyone was telling me it looked nothing like the screenshot. lol... well i fixed it and uploaded the CORRECT source! With this project, you can send multiple files over a network with ease. I have not had the chance to test it over the internet yet, so please leave feedback if you have tried it! Enjoy and vote!

In response to requests for more samples here is Volume 2. This collection includes the use of scrollbars, listboxes and the treeview. Move listitems up or down in a listbox, remove duplicates etc. The treeview example demonstrates a fully functioning 'Favorites bar' for a Web browser application using Internet explorers favorites - add links, add new folders, rename, delete etc. Also included is a KeyCode giver, a picture resizer, and just for fun a random mousemover. Code for each function appear in a textbox ready to copy into your project. I hope this is of some help to people beginning VB. Good luck.

The code can be used as a 3-D engine without using any kind of external 3-D stuff and the whole game has been made using Bitblt API. An easy to understand code, making such a game is no joke. See it for yourself, and I bet you wont be dissapointed to see my own Doom. The game Cannon online again - which is actually an improvement over Simon Price's 3-D Amazing. This makes you feel it more like a game, with stuff like sound effects, enemies, new levels, more textures and movements. Perfect collision detecttion. Credits for Ray-tracing and rendering (algo) go to Mr. Simon Price.
