This is the XP Command Button recreated by me. There are 7 custom borderstyles and of course the original windows xp borderstyle. Like the original button it responds to the mouse entering and leaving. This button has the Default and Cancel Button property so it can be the default button. It also reacts very similarly to the original buttons. It has accesskeys set up so that any alt combo can make the control click (like standard buttons) You can choose gradient background or solid background (solid is fast, while gradient is slower) The great thing about this control is that I have seen other Xp controls and i have spent so much time making my one fast aswell as good. It can redraw at 2000 times a second (with gradient background) on my Pentium III 866 MHz. Similar controls I have tried redraw at 20 times a second. Please vote. I have spent a long time on this and I bope that you all like it.

This Usercontrol contains no other controls(eg. lines, shapes) whatsoever, and is drawn entirely by API functions. It is very lighweight and uses very few ressources from the computer. Please vote for me.

Alphanumeric LCD Control with multiple foreground and background colors, fast or slow printing, option to pad lines with 'spaces'. Regular & Bold 'font', 2 levels of brightness. 13 pre-defined background colors (or 240 custom) and 7 background colors. Inspired by Peter Wilson's "Vacuum Fluorescent Display Simulator" (In fact I based the 'regular' graphics on his graphics.) Some characters added/redone and new 'bold' font. Colors tinted at runtime, not pre-made (for size and flexibility). Also adapted a bit of code by Kamilche (Load picture from byte array) to load JPGs directly from the resource file. Enjoy the code, and please comment/vote.

The best progress bar on PSC: it's fast, it looks cool and it's stable. All you need when it comes to showing a progress. Includes: 1) colors and colorfades! 2) use any font, make it appears as you want 3) you can use seven different borderstyles 4) make the bar grow up, down, right or left 5) Blending (changes color opacity or CosSin mode makes weird colors!) 6) Set the caption just like you want it to be 7) ManualRefresh for optimal usage: if you change colors a lot or do other big changes at a time, you might want to refresh the bar only when you wish 8) Min, Max and Value as big or small as you want 9) You can change parent easily with SetParent 10) enough events: make it a command button as well! 11) clear, optimized code: learn how things can be done fast in VB. Also great example on how to make an ActiveX control with VB. If you like it, please vote & rate :)

VeryWellsStatusBarXP Update to V. 1.2b - More than a fine usercontrol statusbar in Windows XP, Office XP or much more looks! Very lot of advanced features, also useable as a modern TOOLBAR!

Make any Object/Form Transparnt & non-squared, so Powerfull and Easy

Just a simple Splash screen that fades in Via the Alpha transparency. This is intended to be put into your \Templates\Forms\ directory so that you can simply Add>Forms>Fading Splash Form

Enables the drag reorder of listitems within a listbox. No API, very simple code.

Simply and easily resize all the controls on any form by use of a reusable class. Set the different modes for the Left, Top, Width and Height properties of controls by entering 4 numbers into their Tag property (a number for Left, a number for Top, a number for Width and a number for Height). There are 4 different modes: Do nothing: the resize code wont touch properties with this mode. Proportional: control property will be resized according to the forms change. Static change: the control property will move with the form. Limited static change: if the form is made too small then the control wont go off the screen (still in testing stage). For example; a label with a tag of '0011' will not change its left or top property, and the width and height will change proportionally. The next release will be even more improved with the Limited Static Change fully tested and an add-in to easily configure tag properties. Please vote and leave constructive critisism.

I looked on planet source code for an image hover button (a 3 state image button that changes pic when mouse is on it.) Couldn't find any... So I decided to make my own, and since I am so nice, I uploaded it to PSC. Sending comments will motivate to give you more... ;)

This code demonstrates how to draw an image into your MDI area and serves as image background or logo. With two modes: center and stretch.

This is remake of vbAccelerator's Toolbar and Rebar Control. In this control everything is included in one ActiveX, so no external dependencies (like SSubTmr.DLL) is required.

This demo application demonstrates the use of a Custom Tooltip Class supporting square and ballon style tooltips, centered at the corresponding control or at the mouse pointer hot spot, with or without title. Individual back- and forecolors and fonts are also possible as well as an assortment of Icons to be displayed in the tooltip and finally individual delay- and show-times. And whats more - the tooltip can now speak using Microsoft's Speech Object Library (SpVoice in sapi.dll), no XVoice.dll or VText.dll! The code is easy to follow and well documented. And on top of that the class is very easy to use. Check it out, download is only 10 kB.

This is an update to Dan Redding's code for an auto complete combobox. Ive just encapsulated it into a user control to make it a bit more portable from project to project.

A utility class for adding/hiding the horizontal scroll bar in the ListBox control dynamically taking into account its font (using the IFont interface). The code uses the SendMessage API function to add a horizontal scroll bar dynamically to a list box using the LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT message. To precisely calculate the width of a new item, our class uses the DrawText API function with the DT_CALCRECT flag. Draw attention at the fact that our class works properly if you change the font of the listbox as you want. We use the IFont interface and its hFont property to retrieve the handle of the font used in the listbox. Our class can also calculate the minimum width of the list box when the horizontal scroll bar disappears (it takes into account the visibility of the vertical scroll bar in the listbox; it determines whether this scroll bar is present by retrieving the listbox style flags and testing these set of flags for WS_VSCROLL).
