Ever sick and tired of that control supplied by Microsoft? Well... here is an alternative and it can do quite a few things indeed. Feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you. Full source is included. Written using visual basic 5 control creation edition. Please don't forget to vote - be kind - this is my first OCX control.

Maybe the easiest way to move a form without any API's. Works in all versions/ all oses (I think ;). It also shows a easy way to make snapping.

You can move the task bar around

Here is an example showing how to use the Component Template. You will find it under 'Component' on the Delphi menu. Component Templates are very handy, yet very simple to use.

Ever tried puting a menu on a form with a skin? It puts a title bar at the top. With my code you can put menus on forms that you don't want to have the regular title bars on. I used some code from PSC on my skins. This is really good code. Please give it a good rating and leave feedback.

This control emulates hot links (seen in web pages, and other apps like Outlook mail rules and the triggers section of the Starcraft Level editor.) It supports word wrap, pictures and highlighting! Have a look and please vote!

The Code is an update that uses properties instead of methods to update,it also uses an align property so no code is needed to resize it when the form is resized. Questions, Comments? Email me: [email protected]

This code cn be used instead of a title bar on a form. It allows you to make your software look sort of like a Mac OSX application.

Hey, you always have seen some people adding some cool addin to VB which esase their programming right? now you can do it too...You can add commands, command buttons, to menus with any command you like...

With the code you can place any picture any where on the RICHTEXTBOX....this is a really great application for who likes to develop word programs with richtextbox control..

Chevrons are buttons that display a popup menu when there are more items on a toolbar than room to display them. All items that overflow the width of the toolbar are dynamically added to a popup menu to display them. Special thanks to Night Wolf for use of the Gold Button control which can be found here on Planet Source Code. Please vote if you like it, and drop me a line if you have any questions.

I have been able to find many Splitters that would split two areas on a single form, but what I needed was a Splitter in the way of being able to resize a control that was Right Aligned to an MDI Form - in this case, a PictureBox. This can easily be adapted to the Left, Top and Bottom. Check it out, it is worth trying. I am working towards making this into an ActiveX control once I have the logic nailed down. I'd appreciate any votes that you might feel like giving.

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.

This sample is a great starting point for a custom control. What this source code shows is how to use various shape controls and pictureboxes to create a custom frame container that has the ability to use rounded corners. This code is well commented. Most of this code can be easily migrated to an ActiveX control. See the screenshot for an example of its appearance. Feel free to leave me feedback, and I will try to respond. Don't forget to vote if you like it!

VBLayers is an ActiveX Control that will create a Layers Window, similar to that in Adobe Photoshop (see Screenshot). Features dragable layers, automatic scrolling, drag tracking and more. Very well commented and clean code. I welcome any feedback towards making this a better product, and appreciate any votes. (Note: Archive corrected to contain image references for project.)

SuperPicture is a modified PictureBox that supports scrolling and zooming. (Updated to include Panning support and fixes outstanding bugs. Added Picture property.) Based on original code submission by "amirnezhad", entitled "Simple Scrollable Image Viewer". Now is available as a UserControl. QuickBar for integrated zooming. Fixed scrollbar coloration. Well documented. I appreciate any feedback and/or votes. Enjoy!

Completely rewritten. Add an Adobe Photoshop styled layers dialog to your application. Please refer the the screenshot to see this control in action. Supports realtime layer dragging, visibility and editability toggles, full thumnail support and much more. Any feedback and/or votes would be most appreciated.

Cool Progress Bar is a regular progress bar, but with some cool effects (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but this was the first name that I came up with!). It was specially made for games (where a nice progress bar when loading the game always looks good, impresses the users and distracts them), but you can use it anywhere else. For now, all it supports is a gradation effect between two colors you choose (you can also choose the background color). But I plan to add a lot more effects, from custom graphics to transition effects and masks. If the progress bar looks awful in the screenshot, you probably have a color depth of 256 or 16 colors. 16 bits is the minimum for a cool effect. It's not my fault (you can always mess with the system's palette to make it use the progress bar's in 256 colors), sorry. Feel free to give me your own suggestions, and please vote, I worked very hard on this!

Includes demonstration of how to make labels appear as hyperlinks, open the users default web browser, and uses a hand cursor when hovering over the icon. The hand.cur file is loaded seperately so that you may incorporate it into your other applications.
