Now you can add resizable panels to any MDI Form. This control allows you to place a resizable panel on a side of the form and looks just like the resizable windows in the VB IDE. This is still a work in progress, as I plan to add some more exciting new features. I would appreciate feedback and comments.

Simple Scrollable View Port control. Just a control container with scrollbars. My first submition. With enough requests/input, I'll add events and/or other properties as suggested. If you like it, vote. (Updated with a fix for possible graphical glitches at design time and redundant code.) UPDATED 1/8/03 - now allows positioning of scrollbars.

This code can turn off the focus rectangle of a button. It is very simple to add to your own application, and very small.Check out this cool effect and vote for me!

Provides developers with a customizeable DIP switch control common in many hardware applications.

This control creates a splitter bar with 2 resizable panels. The panels are adjustable by a specifying the size of the Child1 panel through the PanelSize property. It also includes minimum and maxmimum size parameters. It is well commented and also provides a demo application to explain all the options. I would also like to thank Mark Joyal for his great SplitterControl on which this is based. His control provides a way to resize based by a percentage, while mine provides a way to resize based on a size value. Since this is my first Active-X control, I would really appreciate your votes and any feedback you can provide.

First off, This is my *FIRST* OCX file.. So don't laugh too much.. You can have a back image, change fore/back color Bar can go: Up>Down, Down>Up, Left>Right, right>Left You can set a caption: ie Loading.. (51%) instead of 51% You can show or hide the % (ie standard Percent bar or most install's percentage bar)

New version at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=24869&lngWId=1 With this control you can flicker free animate multiple text lines. You can animate position, rotation, size and color. During the animation every text line is clickable.

Ever wanted to display graphical information about CPU, memory or any kind of variables? Check the screenshot and you'll know what I'm talking about. This PURE VISUAL BASIC made control adds graphical diagrams to your Visual Basic application very easily!! Just under 10 lines of code, and you have very cool graphical diagram monitoring your variables! All colors can be set easily. Also includes many other options to fit your app. Is you find this useful, please vote me or give me feedback.

This demonstrates how to use the windows api to dynamically (and quickly) reshape a form without hogging resources. It Doesn't Even Blink! PLEASE VOTE!

Sample Menu Program to show 3 different ways to highlight buttons when mouse moves over them

This a MsgBox replacement using Flash. While the flash movie is very simple, it does give a good example into using flash with VB. Read the REadme for information before using. The zip contains the dll, dll source, and source for a sample project using the dll. Also included the flash source so you can look at it and change it if you like.

Professional High Quality Code. Looks, works and behaves like the Windows Task/Icon bar on your screen (only better, with more properties). It actually forces the screen size to a slightly smaller size to fit the toolbar in place, thus the user still has full view of other software programs running at the same time. This is the genuine untouched code "...based on the J.Richter's CAppBar...", (FREEWARE)! Use it for many projects. No need to buy or use a TOOLBAR OCX. A few lines of code is all you need, when you add the prewritten BAS and CLS files. Creat your own BANNER style form, like the ones seen with FREE INTERNET servers. This code is genius!

If any of you saw my submission awhile ago that converted RTF to HTML. This has the original code from that post, but also has a function that converts HTML to RTF.

Generate very detailed random terrain. Uses a random seed generator so that if you enter the same number with the same parameters it will generate the same map for you. It includes many options like detail, smoothness and water level. After building it allows you to rotate it three-dimensionally.

This killer code demonstrates the fastest and most efficient way to combine pictures transparently. Designed to be used in a paint program or game, this picture will combine 2 pictures at any percent transparency. I haven't seen code of this nature anywhere else on the site, so be sure to check this out. This code could also be used to fade pictures into eachother (like they do in MYST with transitions mode on), if you're interested. Includes picture loading and saving code as well.

I have seen some e-mail stuff on this site, but all are so freakin complicated. This is simple and VERY easy to use!

What? Another marquee? Yep. Put into 1 class and 1 usercontrol file. Can contain separate text "blocks" each with it own forecolor. Use the mouse to drag the display from left to right (or right to left) during the scrolling (just in case you missed out something that scrolled away). Continuous scrolling (does NOT wait if the last block is out of view, then start the first block, BUT glues the first block to the last one, so you see no break). Can place separator between blocks. It looks like the BBC News ticker. Click event on each text "block", scroll speed, colours, font, etc. Just download and see for yourself. Need more convincing? Someone quoted this is the best marquee on PSC yet....
