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!

Hey people it's me agian. ;-) This littel program make it easy for you too make a shaped form. You just draw(with the mouse) on the form and click save, then the program saved the shape and writes a *.frm file for you to use in VB. It all so exports the picture you drawn so you can make it fansy in photoshop or something like that, and then use it as your bagground in your form. - TIPS - Now i made the sample bagground in photoshop, and i know you dont need to know how, but if i tell you. Then you can't say i did't tell you everthing! *hehe* To make the bagground . New picture (400 * 400 pixels) click FILTER -> RENDER -> Driffernt Clouds click FILTER -> NOISE -> NOISE (1%) click NEW CLANNEL click FILTER -> RENDER -> Driffernt Clouds click FILTER -> NOISE -> NOISE (1%) click FILTER -> RENDER -> Driffernt Clouds click FILTER -> RENDER -> Lighting Effect Light type = spotligt Gloss = 59 Materiale = 69 exposure = -100 ambience = 47 texture channel = alfa1 height = 100 Now please give me a vote... just a small one(or bigger).. Yours CiX Remember its all about haveing fun ;-)

one hundred percent pure volume is a horizontal Volume slider like you've NEVER seen before, built in raw vb6 code with no other add-ons this code is modular, re-usable and 100% completely Height, Width and position idenpendant. it uses standard picture boxes to "act like" or "mimmick" a sliders appearance, because it uses standard picture boxes, you can skin the volume slider to any picture and dimension in the world, just by selecting it's .picture filename property. if you set it to 20,000 pixels wide it will still retain 100% functionality. uttermost left of the main background picture will remain 0%, uttermost right of the main background picture will remain 100%, no matter how wide, high or what position left the main background picture is set at. It uses ADVANCED relational percentage math to calculate the percentage value used to set the windows volume,hence its name : One Hundred Percent Pure Volume. use it in an MP3 Player, sound app or anything that could use this totally unique FULLY Skinable windows volume slider. It took me approximately 2 whole days to Just to work out the math behind One Hundred Percent Pure volume. It's yours for free, Enjoy. Tom Brett, CEO soundgrabber.com

As most of you know the progressbar that comes with windows is in a HUGE file, and isn't even that great, so I've attempted to make a replacement for it. I've seen a few other attempts at this, but they can't do some of the stuff my progressbar can, and my progressbar is less than 50 kb!! The screenshot shows some of what it can do, and a demo program is included. If you like it, VOTE!!!!!

this is a pretty simple thing 2 make a gradient prog bar....i used a screenshot from the project instead of the actual app because it shows most of the properies u can set...it is rly customizable...and i used it in the mod-maker for a game i am making(chk my other submisions), and the map editor(not yet done)...hope u like it

This shows how to Split MDI Forms. Actually there have been a lot of spliiter demos and controls but rearely some have dealt with MDI forms which this one goes in-depth on. There is DragBar highlighting, Title bar colour grading, and more - only uses a timer and a nice API call.

A UserControl that will capture and report mouse events on form and child controls. I've found it useful for finding position and color info at runtime when working with picure objects and when doing bitmap manipulation.

This project Adds Bitmaps to a Popup menu. this is a demo project of how to add bitmaps to a popup menu! it's a simple project and easy to understand, cause thats the way i can understand it

This is just a simple control designed as a drop-in component to allow a Tabbed Browser environment. I was working on a browser for personal use using tabs and a few people I work with, including my IT manager wanted apps done, using the interface, so I dedicded to make this control to make it easier to create the apps quickly. You can Add/Delete tabs, Block/Query popup tabs (popups display in a new tab) If you like this....Please vote....if not, don't Any/All CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM is welcome.... Please be easy....this is my first submission and I thought that maybe others would find it useful :-)

OK! i will change the code comment. I don't wanna win the code contest. You must not look at the horrible graphics, but the code. How do create or clone a control? By creating a control array? By the method explained by venky dude? (good tutorial venky) This is simple a new way to create a control than can expand our knowledge of visual basic. You can create control, assign a name and code to the events in the way yo want. You can also remove the controls by it's own name (form1.controls.remove "goofy"). Try to do this in a control array!!! unload commandbutton(11). You still have 20 command button with control number 11 removed (more complicated).

Highlight the active control in a different colour to draw attention. Does not require the gotfocus, lost focus for each control. VERY EFFICIENT CODE

This detects your idlestate if there is no input from your keyboard or mouse a triggers an event so if you want to make your screensavers this is jus what you need..

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.

Resize controls in the same manner as the IDE at runtime

I was looking for a flat toolbar style xp button on psc, but i couldnt find one - there was some great stuff by AKI but no efficent xp toolbar buttons. So i wipped one together in about 15 minutes - PLEASE VOTE!

Ever wanted to make your own multiple user server? Say for something like chat or Instant Messaging? Now you can forget about coding the Winsock control for complicated multi user support, let DSS Server Control do the job for you! You need a reasonably fast machine to see the control at its best. Please read the Readme.txt file included in the archive, or dont and get all frustrated; your choice ;p You will need WinRAR from www.rarsoft.com or www.winrar.com, as there is a RAR inside the ZIP file. If you need the source in ZIP format, then download www.angelfire.com/d20/vbfiles/dss_zip.zip. **UPDATED: The Socket Stack Managment in StartNewSocket() has been fixed** Read the Readme.txt file for more detailed information.

This Will allow the programmer to customise the individual foreground background colours of the different listview items, and can give a listview a custom highlight colour, with out modification to this code. Any votes and/or comments will be much appreciated.
