If you must let people resize things at runtime, then this is a good solution. Plz, vote!

Modified from Benjamin Wilger's original source. Gives forms a Winamp-like docking behavior. I have added support to make the forms move together when docked, just as in Winamp. Previously, the windows would dock to each other, but not move together. This version adds the option of making one form the "master" of the other docked forms, so that when the master form is dragged, forms docked to it are dragged as well. Many, many thanks to Benjamin Wilger for his code, without which this version would not exist. (See http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=27489&lngWId=1 for the original code.) Please cast a positive vote if you enjoy this code. It only takes a few seconds, and I feel less like I'm operating in a vacuum here.

Installs a system wide hotkey which triggers the HotkeyPressed event whenever the chosen hotkey combination is pressed - regardless of whether your application has the focus or not. Release 1.0.5 allows the hotkey to be changed at runtime and also to be enabled/disabled.

The only change to the familiar cool menu series is now it works with Windows XP for those who upgraded to XP and the images used not to show up..

If you want to make your programs look alot more attractive and stylish, why not start by replacing the dull menu? This code makes your menus look professional like Windows Xp. Of course it is 100% the same, but it still looks good.

This ocx allow you to easily place, change or delete an icon in the system tray and set its tooltip. This ocx provides support for mouse events. To use it in you project just place this object in a form and call CreateIcon, ChangeIcon or DeleteIcon. A test project is included.

The new update about XP-Form, removed some bug, needed only menu function to subclass (owner draw).

Windows XP Verticle Scroll Bar. Nearly identical to real thing. Will subclass next, and then make horizontal bar.

If you've ever tried to use the standard Toolbar customise feature then you will know it doesn't work. This is a documented bug - visit MS and do a search. They offer some solutions, but these only partially rectify the problems. The problems involve an inabilty to reliably save the configuration of the Toolbar and a failure to display unused items in the left hand selection Listview. My fix Scrap the feature entirely - uncheck AllowCustimize checkbox in properties Replace the dialog with a clone form Power the function with a simple class

Draws various paterns with simple line techniques.Just thought it might save someone some coding.

This button is cool for you that using graphics on form. If you move your mouse over the button, the button come with highlight picture base on form pictures. Click it, and the button move down still with the background. This is looks like IE title bar with skin. For more information, you can email me: [email protected]

Quick and simple way to create 3d Text

This form contains an example of how to do a simple Outlook-type split form. The splitter code is modifed from the http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/hsplit.zip code. I have updated to include icons and labels under each button. The project is now only compatible with VB6 as I am using a resource file to store the icons. I have found and fixed the problem with icons not disappearing when the form is resized and also implemented scrolling to allow users to see obscured icons.

Shows tooltips! You can customize it. If you use it please send me an email. Email: [email protected] Also it took 5 minutes but it is awesome. At least I thought it was better than the regular tool tip! You can have multilines with this one. Look at the screenshot so you can see what it looks like. Thanks, Carroll Dearstone

this lets you edit the system menu on your form. you can make it perform functions also. the only downside to this is that the form is not movable by titlebar. i've seen other codes posted on this but the one i was looking at didn't show how to perform commands on click. anyways hope this helps you out.

A nice non-container Frame-Control. Note that there is no window-handle for this control. So it saves your system resources Features : - Styles Raised, Sunken, Etched, Inset etc. - BackStyle (Solid/Transparent) - BackColor - BorderColor Ejoy. Votes are welcome.

Translucent form, that uses some VB transparent controles, I wrote this code using some module that wasnt mine so i like to thank the author for his contribution to my code! Please vote, and leave feedbacks! I am planing of making a version of translucent, sinable and resizable form!

Shows a good way to make a form a child of another form without the jumpyness of using just SetParent alone.

Did you ever want to let your Application appear in the SysTray, without any complicated code, completely bug-free and easy to handle using events?Or did you ever want to change the Windows-Settings like Wallpaper with VB?This code does not only contain the source for a UserControl to easily create and handle SysTray-Icons or the code to change the Wallpaper, it is also a complete program to fresh your Desktop up: you can create a list of picture files and the program changes the Wallpaper after adjustable delays, running down your list. Furthermore the program is very flexible, it automatically stretches the pictures so they fit onto the screen, and it can handle all filetypes from Bitmaps over GIFs to JPEGs.Just copy some cool Wallpaper-files into the Folder "Wallpapers", type any number of minutes in the TextBox in my program, and enjoy your always different wallpaper!Also the program runs in the SysTray when minimized, so it doesn't block the TaskBar and is still accessable.About the SysTray-Icon Control:You just have to add the UserControl to your form, and your App appears in the SysTray. If you want 2 Icons in the SysTray, just add another Control. You can change the Icon and the ToolTip Text in the IDE and at runtime, and you can control the User actions easily through events.The control also allows you to display the window's system menu when you click on the Icon, if you want it to.I hope this stuff helps you, and if you like it, please don't forget to leave feedback/votes!
