ucTimer is a self-subclassed API timer control which is polymorphic to the native VB Timer control. This drop in place control provides all the functionality of the native control, along with setting of process priority and timer directionality (i.e. CountUp or CountDown). This UserControl, which was loosely fashioned after the count down timer of ucMsgBox (PCSID: 67387), is an attempt to solve the single file issues described in Paul Mathers VB Timer submission (PCSID: 3596). Hope this is of use.…..Enjoy! TerriTop

ucBrowse - Theme-Aware Browse for Folder Control ucBrowse is a single file, self-subclassed sited (Form Bound) Browse for Folder replacement control which supports customization. Each control supports the following independent properties: Appearance (Flat, 3D), CheckBoxes, FullRowSelect, HasLines, HotTracking, Path, Root and Theme Detection (Auto, Classic, Blue, HomeStead, and Metallic, None).

So, if your project needs a Browse for Folder functionality while remaining sited on a form, then this control might be just what the doctor ordered.

I often find myself in need of a listbox in applications in which I don't use forms. I couldn't find anything on PSC (which would have saved me some time), so I just wrote my own. This is just a simple listbox class, no events, no confusing, never ending functions, just plain, simple VB code (I haven't used any APIs :D). The class is very small (only 2.3 kb). Also, this class can have more than 32767 items, because I've used Longs, and not Integers (like the VB listbox). V1.2 New features (since V1.0): --V1.1: 1) alphabetically sorting (module by Rde) 2) Add items somewhere in the middle of the list 3) Transport the list to a control (build-in textbox/listbox/combobox support) 4) Events --V1.2: 5) Search 6) Import from and export to a file 7) Encryption/decryption* *The encrypting/decrypting doesn't work very well. I'm not really an expert on encrypting/decrypting, so if anyone can (re-)write this for me... :D

Teaches you how to make runtime-only properties

[Optimized for simplisity...] This is a simple tooltip generation code, specialy designed for ur UNSUBCLASSED projects. This code does not requires subclassing and can be used for any controls on the form. You have Balloon type and Plain type tooltip. The TextColor and BackColor are customizable. The same code is suited for usercontrols also. May u find it useful Jim Jose :-))

The main factor which makes this control unique is , it is 'Owner-draw'. The dead-line version uses subclassing the parent form and calendar can show even out side the form. It has got "ListMode' and 'PopUpMode'. The calendar can show 'Special days' like national holydays special events (you can customize these for your native calendar). It supports all the languages even the unicode languages like chinese, Japenese...etc. The calendar is provided with full range of color options with eight different color themes. It has unique form animations which realy smooth and gives a pleasent appearance. The McCalendar can be used as a standard date picker by it's datepicker compatable procedures.

Creating a nice animated menu made from different forms...

A transparent window which stays on the top of the desktop icons and allows you to click them. At the current stage you can only click/dblclick on the icons, but don't forget -- this is just the first version. In the next release you will be able to manipulate all windows in the sysem. Please vote for me if you like the code and its conception! :-))

The code demonstrates the functionality of one of the most widely used window common control - the tree view control.

This is an example of subclassing a window, and moving it around using another form. It's set up to use as a custom form border that is translucent, resembling the Aero effects of Vista. For the example I subclassed notepad to have the Vista style translucent border, though you could apply it to any window.
