Resize All Controls On A Form

This is a wrapper class that allows you to set minimum and maximum sizes of a form. Never do again checks on the Form_Resize() event, that flickers! This one uses APIs calls to set maximum and mimimum sizes. Four functions calls are needed in the form. I had a look into PSC, and I found nothing similar to this. Have a look at it, and leave comments! Parts of these code are from www.vbaccelerator.com, but this is easier and much better.... :-)

Here it is! Want to enter only numbers in a textbox? Or only currency? And avoid users paste something that is not valid? Try this! This is a class module that lets you turn a standard textbox into a new one, that accepts only numbers (also decimal). The decimal and currency separators depends on the locale settings, and are read via API! New features added also!! Check it out!

This is a class to extend the functions of the standard ImageComboBox (MS Windows Common controls) Features include: autocomplete, allow only present items or not, auto-set dropdown width, and more. I need a feedback from you, so please leave comments and vote. Thanks ;-)

Creates text boxes and labels 'on the fly'. Type the number of textboxes/labels you wish to have and hit create and it will create them for you. Found similar code and decided to play with it. :\

mdi non activating & reduce toolbar example (kind of like (photoshop or dreamweaver toolbars) This tutorial shows how to create non-activating toolbars in a mdi app. You can hide, reduce the toolbars, and they do not appear in the menu windowlist. There is no subclassing for the non activating toolbars, and no ocx are used, just a couple of API. There is also an example of subclassing all the child windows on the fly when creating them. That lets you specify a minimum size for all the child windows ! There is no subclassing, and no ocx are used, just a couple of (easy) API.

Sick of those ugly VB 6 scroll bars that don't support XP themes? Don't feel like messing with a manifest? Here is the code for you. This scrollbar control acts just like the XP scroll bar on a multi-line text box because it is. The control just uses an API call and a timer to expose the scroll event of the textbox and then hides the textbox. This means you get allot of functionality with very little code. There is room for improvement and additions, but I wanted to keep the code as simple as I could.

Provide's True LCD Display on a form

This is an example of creating borderless forms. It will help you create your own look for your application, if you would like to move away from the typical Microsoft Standard.

Here's a nice way to create XP Style Buttons. This literally will just take minutes to change the look of your .exe. Just simply follow the instructions and you'll be quite happy with the result. Note: You have to be on an XP machine for this to work. Visualicious is probably an even better alternative here at PSC, But doing it this way with Reshacker is kind of fun.. and the program is quite interesting...

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)

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.

Advanced Controls - SuperRuler 1.0 OnScreen measurement control. Select between four ScaleModes, change Fore and Back Color, use hoover or click values. Includes mouse tracking.

This is very advanced type of container control based on virtual viewport. You are able to put other controls on it but also outside of visible area, enable scrollbars (created at runtime) and use them to navigate viewport. It has a very fast angle-defined two-color gradient feateure. Includes mouse tracking, so you can (optionaly) drag the content of the control by holding LMB. This code teaches you a lot of window API for ex: using windows api's on usercontrol, dynamic scrollbar creation and manipulation, drawing on usercontrols. Vote if you find it usefull/educative.

It's not another "scroll text in a label" code. He can scroll WHOLE label with text within. Ready-to-use and easy-to-understand user control project. Check the screenshot and see how it works. Just put ScrollingLabel into your form, add dozens of text, set scrolling interval and enjoy :) It has nice arrows (scrolling (up or down): starded, could be continued, not possible), plus fully customized properties: BackColor, BorderStyle, Font, ForeColor, ScrollingInterval. If you like this user control please vote. Thanks :)

The only change to the familiar cool menu series is now it works with Windows XP for those who upgraded to XP and the images used not to show up..

This Will allow the programmer to customise the individual foreground background colours of the different listview items, and can give a listview a custom highlight colour, with out modification to this code. Any votes and/or comments will be much appreciated.

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.

Allows for real time updating of objects and values while the drag is being proformed. Move a borderless form without api and in only 10 lines of code. Very easy to understand.
