UPDATED !!! This code puts a bitmap image file in your SubMenu or Menu or BOTH. Please note that this is very different from using icons in your menus. Please vote for this code if you like it or if it is any use to you.

This code will place a bitmap file in place of your Menu or SubMenu or Both. You can put banners instead of old-fashioned menus. Please check the screenshot. Please vote if you like this code.

When users are tabbing on a form they can lose track of where they are, I have written a com object that highlights the control with the focus

ProgressBar and Slider in one to the component. Different sorts of mapping. Handle of sorts of cursors. Certainly it is possible to make and better but me arranges. Excuse for mine English.

Displays animated GIFs without any ocx or dll.

This program lets you rotate a Windows Meta File inside a picture box.

Tells whether a form is loaded or not

This cool little program demonstrates a basic painting program as well as the hard-to-find dll call for filling a region of a picture. To use the program, all you have to do is draw a line with the left mouse button, then click with the right mouse button to fill the clicked-on area with a random color. Also, as far as I know, this may be the only VB project on the net that has the 'ExtFloodFill' dll call, so make sure to grab it!

This incredible program shows how to create totally realistic fire without using any palettes to create the right color effects! A simple bit of mathematical color manipulation creates a perfectly colored fire effect more realistic and faster then palettes, making for real-time fire animation. The included .exe demonstrates the current max speed of this program, and it will BLOW YOU AWAY! This code is guaranteed to be the FASTEST, EASIEST, and MOST REALISTIC algorithm-generated fire project at this site. If you don't believe me, try it out! This is definitely the best artificial fire program that has ever been built in VB, so don't miss out on this awesome code!

Easy-to-use template for creating a non-rectangular form. So simple, even Homer Simpson could use it (if he had a computer).

This is the EASIEST way to have scrolling marquee text in a label. 'No long useless code.

This code was originally coded using 16-bit Win API function calls and I switched to 32-bit... looks like I missed some in the first release. If you discover any OVERFLOW problems, it's because of this fact. I think I got them all. Anyway, here's the intro... It would be ideal to have a generic print routine that could print to the printer or to the screen depending on what you pass it. This project shows you how to create printing routines that can print to the printer or to a picture box. This enables you to add print preview capabilities to your Visual Basic applications. Since there are several ways that you could implement print preview in your applications, this project describes one method that is easy to do in Visual Basic and works well.

This Program will make colorful fireworks. The code is kinda short, but it looks so cool. I've included many directions/explanations that will help you change the input value.

gridClass is a read-only grid comprised of text box arrays. I use it to display information from an Access database and it was developed after expriencing total frustration with the grid provided with VB6. It could be modified to be updatable and I may find time at a future date to do that.

THE PROBLEM: VB allows regular forms to be instantiated from an ActiveX DLL...but does not allow MDI child forms to be instantiated from an ActiveX DLL! THE SOLUTION: MDIChildMaker! Now you can put your forms in a seperate ActiveX DLL and use them as MDI children forms in your main application's MDI form! NOTE: This is not a trivial example, but uses native VB subclassing techniques. This is one code solution EVERY VB programmer MUST have! Check out www.cyberbiz.com

To create an "Office-style menu" (or owner-draw menu) you must register that menu item with Windows as MF_OWNERDRAW and then process the WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM messages sent to the menu's parent window. The attached project file simplifies this process by encapsulating all menu drawing operations in a class called "COwnMenu" and hiding the details of working with Windows in a code module entitled "OMenu_h." With this mini-system in place, all you have to do to get owner-drawn menus in your program is call SetSubclass on the menu's owner form and RegisterMenu to set a menu item as owner drawn. The provided example project contains complete documentation.

It's a single function, without API's, that loads an image and puts it in a destination PictureBox. If the source image is bigger that the destination PictureBox, then it will resized to fit in (mantaining the ratio). In other words, the image loaded will nicely fit the destination, but will not be deformed. If the source is smaller, then it will remain that size... This function is an upgrade (in speed, error trapping and results) of Jason Monroe original post. Thanks Janson.
