This is a full Text Fader Example allowing you to fade text by three (3) colors. It uses nine (9) scrollbars (3 for each color to fade by) allowing you to set the color of each of three (3) Color Labels. It has a great Fade Preview so you can see what the Faded Text looks like as you type it. It also has Bold, Italic, Underline and Strike Through options that can be changed real time (the Faded Text Preview updates as you change the options). There is also a very cool option that Dynamically updates the Faded Text Preview as you change or scroll any of the color scrollbars. If enabled, it allows you to change the colors dynamically and see what the Faded Text looks like instantly. It does, however, require a fairly fast PC with at least 256MBs of RAM. It doesn't slow down your PC or eat up memory, slower PCs just don't scroll the scrollbars smoothly and the RGB values jump in large increments instead of smoothly by 1 if the Dynamic Option is enabled. This is a perfect start for an AOL Chat Fader or any other type of Chat Fader.

Concat 2 Arrays (My Dream) - a simple function.... the point is that i wrote it in my dream! yes i did!!! and no i'm not stoned :-)

I needed a method to resize or reposition a row of textboxes when form size changes. I knew it was possible but was unable to determine the math equations to make it work. I couldn't find an example anywhere so went to rent-a-coder out of desperation. A coder who's name I've since lost sent me this example free of charge. It's pretty well documented and I hope you find it useful.

This is an example of a VERY simple Client/Server using winsock. For this and more tutorials and example code visit my site http://affordablefreedom.com

This code load's a dialog from a resouce file, it can also manipulate the controls on the dialog and recieve messages from it using subclassing. There is included one resource file containing a dialog with various controls, also one commoncontrol (slider) and some non-standard buttons. Just made this for fun and a little experimenting with resource files, hope you like it. BTW, you need Visual C++ if you want to add dialog's youself or change them. This because VB is only capable to see and compile the dialog resources, not to edit them.

This tutorial will help you create a custom file extension that opens directly in your program when you open the file. Read on...

Disable Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)

This code seeks from the end of a byte array trying to find a matching text. Why? Well, handling byte arrays is much faster than handling strings. So, if you needed to parse data real fast and a lot, it would be benefical to do it using a byte array instead of a string. My starting point to this was rather simple: do the search faster than InStr and InStrRev. Beating the latter was easy: InStrRev isn't of the fastest build-in functions in VB. With InStr I had to taste half of a defeat: it just is superb when it can search in BinaryCompare. But, what if we wanted to do TextCompare? Well, there InBArr and InBArrRev beat real badly both InStr and InStrRev! Anyways, I hope somebody finds this submission helpful. I'm sorry I didn't comment the code as well as I could/should have, but I hope it doesn't matter as the code should be rather flawless on what it does :) Comments and votes welcome, as always!

NEW v6.1 - DataLogger II is an extremely improved version of my original program. I’ve added all the suggestions posted by users and made numerous improvements to all aspects of the program. It now has optional on-screen cursor info; print capabilities and screen capture capabilities. You can now pinpoint an event through a very accurate timing system based on the cursors. These are just some of the improvements. You can save either an image (screenshot) of the display window or the whole program (form). You can use the Cursor Display function to include all cursor data in a display window save. Files are saved in “.bmp” format. The print function will automatically print a landscape image of the screen. It will include all cursor data in the print. This is based on your computers default printer and paper configuration. It works fine with standard 8”x11” paper. I haven’t had the time to create an operator manual. But, the program is intuitive and if you experiment by clicking (both left & right mouse buttons) on buttons and in the display window, you’ll discover a lot of functionality. For those unfamiliar to this program, I wrote this program to monitor the input of an RS232 Serial Port and graphically log all activity. It acts and operates just like a Digital Storage Oscilloscope, capable of logging up to 5 hours in one file.

You can use COM Components in .NET Apps, but have you ever wished for the other way, Use of .NET Classes you have written in a VB6 app. Yes, this is possible, just read this tutorial. and Please Vote!

Send e-mail silently using the MAPI controls, a great feature is if a user account doesn't exist it will create an account and use it by default. You don't need an outlook account to use this e-mailer.

Hi this is to show a beginner how to create a new Window just using Pure API Code. the code features an API Message Box and also a API Created Menu. anyway Hope you may find this usfull in some way.

Shows how to launch forms modaly from popup menus while retaining the abailty to use popup menus on the new form. (Windows bug work-around)

Very fast integer sorter. Using 1800 MHz Athlon processor will sort ten million integers in just over three seconds. (see http://www.Planet-Source-Code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=59491&lngWId=1)

API Created Folder Tree - this is the real one Windows uses, not a user control !! the code is not mine, i only cleaned it up a little,whatever...

Allows the user to check the username/password combination used to logon to Windows 2000 if the user does not have the SE_TCB_NAME privilege (most users do not).

This is a small example showing how to alternate row colors in a listview. Very basic...very simple! Please comment and rate, I am looking forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks

Display msgboxes, inputboxes and custom dialogs in balloons of any color you choose with an alphablended drop shadow of varying intensity. This is an update which has been rewritten to take into account users feedback. The code should now be clean and consists of only one form and one enumeration in a module. It is easy to replace the standard vb controls used with usercontrols of your choice to give an XP appearance. All balloons can be positioned via the calling code or just left to appear at the cursor position. Please see the screenshot and leave feedback, thanks.
