Move forms together as if they were docked. No Timer needed! I had to separate forms used as a kind of toolbox. My idea was, that it would be nice if I could move these two together if they were both active. VB doesn't tell me when my form is moved. But then I realised that I read s.th. about moving forms without a titlebar. Using this trick my code will perform the following action: 1. The form detects a mousedown event 2. The mouse is released and the form moved by FormDrag 3. The other form is notified of the movement 4. The other form will follow the first Don't forget to vote if you like it ;o)

Make your toolbars like Office2000's it's COOL, Menu's with Icons, Dragable Toolbars, Dragable Menubars. USING ONLY THE COMMON MICROSOFT TOOLBAR!!!

Use an Outlook-Toolbar in your forms without using ActiveX.

Autotext is an extended API implementation of Visual Basic's Combo Box. The control can be used as an autotype combobox or an autotype textbox. This code contains a proper implementation of an API timer class as well, using soft references to avoid GPFs. Allows custom context menus and allows the default context menus to be disabled. Raises a Menu_Click event which specifies which menu item was clicked. Has mouse down, mouse move and mouse up events. Code shows how to create a mouse hook. Switchboard code insures that the proper control recieves the right notifications. Has a SyncByItemData function to select an entry by an ItemData entry. Has a FillWithRecSet function to enable it to be filled directly with a recordset. You can specify the ordinal postion within the recordset that you want the drop-down list to be filled with. If you do not require the ItemData to be set, you must specify the optional default ordinal position of one to be zero. Implements an extended interface to make the control faster than the default implementation. eg. Dim eboName As IAutoText Set eboName = cboName.Object I have borrowed many snippets of code from this site an thought that it was my turn to share one of my gems with the people of Planet Source Code. This ActiveX is being used by many programs and has been thouroughly tested for flaws. My thanks to all the people who have contributed to Planet Source Code. PS. Vote if you want to.

A listbox using nothing but a picture box and scrollbar, not done yet.

The designer Top/Bottom bar Activex Control is a scrollable toolbar sort of entity that imitates Outlook bar. I made this for topic selection in my astrology package. Its quite well designed, and will be good for software with multi documents/topics. I have supplied the source(.ctl) file in here. Don't forget to rate this code. Warning: There are no comments in the code.

It's a LED Display to show numbers simply by loading small icons. It also consider 2 decimal digits. You can use this as an example to show numbers in your program in a more "electronical" way.

This program will get local weather using your zip code anywhere in USA. The code can easily be modified to get the weather for the next day. Please tell me what you thing about this custom control and PLEASE vote for me :) :) :)

2 custom controls are included in this project. Drag control will allow you to move the form around using any control. controlbox is a custom controlbox with 3 buttons which can be eneabled/disabled, for which you set caption and font properties, a popup menu, icon propery which can also be changed. The custom controlbox can be minimized/maximized/closed like a normal controlbox. This is a must have if you are tired of having same control box every time!!!

This is an example of how to use treeview control and nodes. If you have never used treeview before this is perfect for you. The treeview control is very powerful control if you know how to use it right. This code shows how to do some of the basic things with it as well as how to call popupmenues and few programming techniques. The code is well commented so it will be easy to understand.

Don't expect miracle. This is a useable DriveListBox/DirListBox/FileListBox (VB default control) usercontrol. Its purpose is to browse a file. It is fully commented and good for beginner that interested in creating Active-X as a starting point because it only had basic property so you won't get confuse. You can drop this control to your app for quick file browser. Or you can make it as a template to simplified your project that needed the use of the three controls. I need feedback,comments etc., thanx

Hi. This a control that act as a command button, option button, checkbox, frame, menu and more by setting just a couple of properties. Let me know what you think. Paul

The purpose is to demonstrate how to make an Intellisense control.

[UPDATED] - Added three new Subroutines: LoadTEXT, SaveTEXT, and Clear. Also updated the sample application to show more of the functionality. Ability to Count Lines, Words, Characters, get the cursor position, Undo, ClearUndoBuffer, TopLine, BottomLine, UnSelect, LineLength, LineData, LineIndex, VisibleLines, IsDirty, ReadOnly (YES, it IS different from Locked), and others. It gives these abilities to make it easier to use these functions (some of which are found in the RichTextBox control) to a simple TextBox control. Read the README.txt contained in the ZIP (which is also included in the VB Project) to see how each property/function/subroutine is used. There is also a sample included.

Add an animated system tray icon to your project with the help of this ActiveX control. Features: variable frame timing, multiple animation sequences, zoom to/from tray effect, popup menu, and customisable tip text.

This is the zipped version and it contains all the forms and code necessary to compile the .OCX Also included is a pre-compiled FTPx.ocx ready to use. Thanks This custom control allows applications access to FTP sites without the need to re-invent the wheel. Just set the Hostname, Username, Password and port properties and execute the Connected method and you're connected. You can Get, Put, Rename, Kill and Execute custom commands. The very best thing is progressing. This controls provides download and upload progressing.

This is an Active X control you can add to your apps and have nice, smoothly scrolling text which makes them look pretty good :) The ocx can scroll right->left or bottom->top and background+text colors are customisable. Text scrolls, optionally pauses at the edge for specified ms and then continues to scroll off It uses bitblt to do the drawing so its flickerless and goes pretty smoothly. Also, this code simulates an asynchronus function as i couldnt see a way to make/call an asynchronus function in vb. Please vote for it!

This is an OCX which opens up a server on your chosen port and it can accept however many users you chose it to. The server is accessible through any telnet client and handles backspacing. Both OCX and example are fully commented. Please Vote. -Paul Blower
