This is the coolest Progress Bar control you have seen out there. Includes many nice features. Can do colorfading, text scrolling, borderstyles, can be set vertical...anything you can think of. Besides that, the code is very efficient and fast. A good example on how an ActiveX / OCX is made and what it needs.

This is a new cool progress bar control. I've been doing it two days, based partly on my previos progress bar (I submitted it now already as I'm doing my military service and are therefore limited in time). Though this one is different by looks and is also improved by speed. At the moment the control is not complete, there are properties that are not yet finished. Despite this fact, the control does work. I wish you like that control and that it's customizable :) You can change borders' style, all the colors (15 different), direction (right, up, left, down), set text on it, custom done text and so on.

The best progress bar on PSC: it's fast, it looks cool and it's stable. All you need when it comes to showing a progress. Includes: 1) colors and colorfades! 2) use any font, make it appears as you want 3) you can use seven different borderstyles 4) make the bar grow up, down, right or left 5) Blending (changes color opacity or CosSin mode makes weird colors!) 6) Set the caption just like you want it to be 7) ManualRefresh for optimal usage: if you change colors a lot or do other big changes at a time, you might want to refresh the bar only when you wish 8) Min, Max and Value as big or small as you want 9) You can change parent easily with SetParent 10) enough events: make it a command button as well! 11) clear, optimized code: learn how things can be done fast in VB. Also great example on how to make an ActiveX control with VB. If you like it, please vote & rate :)

Enhanced label with Unicode support. Copy UniLabel.ctl and UniLabel.ctx to your project's path and add the control into the project! Thanks to Paul Caton (SelfSub), Ralph Eastwood (for fixing SelfSub 2.1 bug) and Zhu Jin Yong (for UnicodeStrings.res and sample code to use it). Read special_features.txt for more information! | UPDATE 2.2 - 2007-11-19 - SelfSub fixed to version released by LaVolpe, thus finally fixing the crash issues! | UPDATE 2.3 - 2007-12-05 - BackStyle works now, some additional font properties added to ease font manipulation.

This is a Label replacement control that gives you some limited CSS features (BorderRadius, Border, Margin, Padding, Opacity) and Unicode support. Rounded corners are limited because they are implemented using Windows API RoundRect which doesn't give the nicest results in every case.For a more complete description visit VBForums thread: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=626737

It is hard to get Unicode in VB6. The biggest reason is the nowhere-to-be-found support in any of the native controls. In the past few years people have been mostly forced to commercial solutions or to move to another language. With UniControls I try to change this by providing some of the most essential tools for working with Unicode. **** This is the summer release. What you find here are a few powerful controls, and some that are still in an earlier level of development, yet useful for many tasks. Included: UniCaption, UniCommand, UniDialog, UniLabel, UniList, UniMenu & UniText, with some additional bonus code. **** NOTE: despite these controls using SelfSub, SelfHook and SelfCallback by Paul Caton and LaVolpe, not all of these controls are Stop button safe. This is because of UserControl's limited OLE interface, which has forced to some IOleInActivePlaceObject hacking, for which there currently is no perfectly IDE safe solution. If I didn't use it, I would have to use complex hooking to capture Enter, Escape, Tabulator, arrow keys and other navigation keys. **** Hopefully you enjoy these controls!

It is very pleasure for me to upload this kind of project. This is a menu bar project which is created in Flash 8 and working in VB 6.0 with the help of FSCOMMAND. You can change the Menu Items by editing "MENUBAR.XML" file. SPECIAL THANKS to Mr Muhammad Akhtar to who helped me to understand and work with FLASH and VB. In case of any Query, feel free to contact me Name: Hafiz Muhammad Farooq Email: [email protected]

This article show how you can do custom AboutBox in custom control (usercontrol).

Simple time control I made to satisfy my needs in one of my softwares. Might as well publish the source so that everyone can enjoy it... Similar to DTpicker time control but it has some changes and other stuff... Just add the User Control to your project and it's ready to use... no OCX's needed. Feel free to modify etc, but respect my copyrights :p

This is a draggable toolwindow inside another window. Normally windows can only be inside an MDI form, but this is a great control which looks and acts like a real window. Completely customizable!!! If you plan to place many toolwindows inside a form, try duplicating the source files and adding each toolwindow as a separate toolwindow so you can customize them according to your needs. [ See another demonstration of this control in my other project: City Builder (txtCodeId=57486&lngWId=1)]

Sub Classes the standard ComboBox and makes it look like the Windows XP one

Sort of Emulates the Windows XP Statusbar

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

A Tab strip control emulating the look of Win XP Looks the same as version 1 but more features.

A graphical form

This control uses an invisible mask along with a mask type of text, numeric, or date. A user can only type in an entry that fits the mask (see html page included). There is plenty of code in here that could be ripped out and placed in other controls.

Enhanced combobox with various levels of Auto complete (including Access style), Auto drop down, settable dropdown width, and an easier coding interface.
