List Only Need To Be Created Once and And As Many Property Item(s) you Like Can Be Pointed To It. I'm Not Going To Bore You With Anymore Details, Check The Screen Shot And download The Code. A Big Thanks Goes To Paul Caton For the Hook Code, Vlad Vissoultchev For The Drawing Code, Fred Cpp For The isButton And Carles PV For His Coolist. Notes Before Use: You Must Copy The WinsubHook2.tlb To Your System Folder. As Always Comments and Constructive Critism Is Always Welcome. The Sample Included Is A Basic Sample But I Will Update When I have More Time. Note: This Has Only Been Tested On XP Pro And Home SP2 I Would Like To Know If It Works On Other Os's Kind Regards Gary

A great button changer example which can change the shape of a simple command button. just set the command button style property to graphical and see the difference.

Closes your form in an interesting ways. Which is most useful in your applications

Asked how I might make a transparent frame or picture box? After a moment of wondering why, I realized that was a neat idea & one solution provided; there are more but this doesn't use custom controls. Would give credit to the person for the idea, but when he commented it was by a "No-Namer". Idea isn't mine; just the routines.

Share memory between processes. Write a port daemon to continually read data and make it available via shared memory to any number of running applications. Easy To Use: Dim S as new CSharedMemory : S.sharedMemory "BlockName",1000 : S.memory="Shared Data" : Print S.memory

This is a control used to display that your program is doing something, such as checking the internet for updates or checking for previously installed applications. Sort of a "please wait while" control. Basicly fully customizeable. Many options. Rate it if you like it.

This sample app demonstrate how to use the designed button constructed under Flash and incorporated it with vb6 in a way that such button shall behave the way a vb6 normal button does (Click Event in this example). Please vote..thanks. In this way we shall be able to add more better look for the interface which we would think would only be applicable on the web browsers. by default, shockwave control add-in in vb application does not support click event.

Here is mseditor2 greatly updated from mseditor1. I received many emails with a lot of ideas as to what to add to the control. This is the new version. Now you can print WYSIWYG, insert pictures, files and OBJECTS (Like msword Charts, excel, ANYTHING). You can find and replace text without affecting its formatting. There is a status line with current line, column total lines etc. I did remove the databound properties but this is only a couple of lines of code anyway. You can always implement this outside the control. If there is interest I will add more features. The whole idea is the same. Just THROW the control into a form and USE IT. In the examples in the screenshots below there is absolutely no code in the form, JUST the control. It is fully parametric with a lot of exposed ‘methods’ which you can call from your program. There is a technique for a form to call back on the control (in the find replace form). This might be educating to novice programmers. If you don’t want almost instant status refresh then remove the timer and its code. The status gets informed when you change something or click the mouse somewhere. It’s a lean mean word editor and with your help it gets better all the time. Thanks for your feedback, both online and into my mail box.

Read On.

UPDATED To allow the user to resize a control at run-time with the mouse. All API, short code, just set it and forget it. Useful for picture boxes, report designers, etc. No high overhead.

THIS PROGRAM IS A VB ADDIN THAT SIMPLIFIES AND QUICKENS THE PROCESS OF INSERTING API DECLARATIONS AS WELL AS THEIR ASSOCIATED CONSTANTS AND TYPES IN YOUR PROJECT. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: 1) FOR API DECLARATION INSERTION: type out the api call i.e "setwindowpos" (without the quotes) select or highlight the call with your mouse cursor, and with the left button still pressed down hit the "a" key on the keyboard. 2) FOR CONSTANTS INSERTION (a) if you know the constants you want type out the first 3 letters ( or more) of the constant(s) you wish to insert. For example..say you've just inserted the api call "DrawText" which requires at least on of the constants prefixed with "DT_ i.e "DT_LEFT or "DT_SINGLELINE" Type out "dt_" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse and with the left button still down hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list (b) If your unsure of the constants you want with the left mouse button pressed anywhere in the code window hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list 3) FOR TYPE INSERTION (a) if you know the type you desire type out the entire types name i.e. "pointapi" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse, with the left button still down hit the "t" key, confirm your selection (b) if your usure of the constants you desire with the left mouse button depressed anywhere in the code window, hit the "t" key. The entire list of constants is displayed in alphabetical order. Make your selection(s)

This code produces a snap to effect exactly like Winamp. Uses POINTAPI type and GetCursorPos API. It gets the current x and y does a few calculations and snaps-to the screen edge. It does take into account for the taskbar but that may need some tweaking.

This is a FULLY FUNCTIONAL Custom Control. I have not loaded it with features for the purpose of letting you download it and add to it yourselves! The code Included Allows RemoveItem, Clear, Listcount, Item(X), and AddItem(Text, Bold, Color)

Chevrons are buttons that display a popup menu when there are more items on a toolbar than room to display them. All items that overflow the width of the toolbar are dynamically added to a popup menu to display them. Special thanks to Night Wolf for use of the Gold Button control which can be found here on Planet Source Code. Please vote if you like it, and drop me a line if you have any questions.

This control was used in several commercial applications that I've written as an on-screen Help system. I've included the prototyping code (non-api) and the flicker free API version. I hope this helps someone ..... Happy Coding!
