With this user control, you can have the very sleek GUI of a window from Mac OS X Panther (www.apple.com/macosx). All you need to do is draw the control on a form, and use 3 lines of code in the Form_Load event, or you can change it at Design-Time to be able to put controls and such in it like a frame control. This is version 0.0.1, so if I decided to work on this project further, you'll probably see features such as several window styles to pick from (i.e. the lines). For right now this control only works on Windows XP, and maybe 2000, I'm not quite sure about that one. I really hope you enjoy this, and rate it well if you consider it to be a good control, because I have spent about 27 hours total on this thing. (Keywords: OSX, OS X, Mac, Panther, GUI).

Second unicode control in the series, UniCommand is just as easy as an usercontrol can be: add .ctl to your project and you're ready to use it! *** Supports unicode under NT4/2000/XP and works under 9X series. You can choose from various borderstyles, define if the focus rectangle is shown and have all the neat functionality from the UniLabel as well! I made it work very much like VB's default command button. You are free to code the control further and repost it here! (possible additions could be solid one color border, Office XP style, graphics, caption padding, checkbox/option mode, Windows XP style...) *** Hope the control fits your needs. And again, the more interest, the more likely I'm to do more free unicode controls! :)

This code is a simple example to illustrate using friend methods (or functions, etc...) to pass information between objects within a project (ocx,dll,etc...). The purpose of this example is to show people unfamiliar with friend procedures how they can enable you to develop components that only expose the properties/procedures you wish to make available to your target audience.

I did not make this VBP, it was made by Evan Toder, but as it so good i thought it deserved to be here. This really does look good, all i have done is modified it so that it is easier to undertsand. Plus i have marked out points where you should edit the project. Nothing else needed, just extract and run. Please read the Readme.txt as it will explain alot about the code.

A replacement for Sheridan's 3D (THREED32.OCX) SSPanel and SSFrame controls. This is not a direct replacement because some of the property names are different. A good alternative when using XP manifest files over VB's Frame control and a picture box (which contains a lot of overhead). This control has 70 different border combinations and 3 text styles that can be positioned one of 15 possible locations. You can change the background, highlight and shadow colors; add gradient fill and/or fill with a pattern. Also included: Line3D control, automatically create a manifest file, link XP themes to the application, and End an application the proper way. Please see the Readme file for a listing of the property definitions.

An Update To The VB Accelerator Tab Control. The Tab Now Supports Xp Style Rendering. Since Steve Has Not Replied To My Emails And The Code Is Lying About On My Computer Doing Nothing, I Thought I Would Upload It So Other People Could Use It (If They Like). Note: Steve Must Take Credit For His Original Works, I Only Updated The Drawing And Fixed A Few Bugs. Although The Original Code Is Not Commented Very Well, You Can See The Changes Made By Searching For 'Ammended By' Kind Regards Gary

New update: OLE Drag & Drop support. // Most part of new code is based on vbAccelerator's TreeView control. Some new methods and properties have been added, too (see control History for more info). // Let me know about any bug, suggestion. __________________________________________________ Update #1: Added CheckChildren() method (hereditary checking) // Fixed: NodeDblClick not raised when DblClick on 'CheckBox'. Also node not expanded/collapsed. // For folder-explorer implementation, see CodeId=56432. __________________________________________________ Update #2: Unicode.

Often I use to thought of using a particular cell of DBGrid control as a Combo box, so that user can select using the combo box.This facility is available in MS Access. This code shows how to combine DBGrid control and a combo box in VB, so that whenever the user clicks a particular cell if DBGrid control this combo box is visible and user can select the value from the combo box.

Simply a master volume fader control...Slider functionality piggybacked from Carles P.V.'s excellent cpvSlider submission. I added mixer api to control and detect changes in the sound volume as well as a routine to draw the snail trail...Also uses Paul Caton's excellent winsubhook typelib and timer class, included in the zip. Skinnable in that the slider thumb pic can be changed. Can also probably set the pic of your choice as the usercontrol background although I did not attempt that myself... Happy Holidays!!!

Do you want to change the style of your boring command buttons? try this cuztomizable button, drawn by code, baloon tooltips, 10 Visual Styles( winXP, Office XP, Mac OSX and more!), customizable caption and icon align and more! See screenshot. Also Includes a very creative way to show a about box Without add a extra form (using some api calls). The button is a single file control, without more dependences than VB Itself. uses Paul Caton Self subclasser: ' http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=54117&lngWId=1 Feedback Is highly apreciated. I'm working on the MacOSX style, since I need a faster way to draw It. Please coment. also, votes are wellcome. I've made a page for the control: http://www.geocities.com/isbutton3/ Update Includes lot of fixes and Checkbox behavior and Value property. If you want a Multy style ComboBox try SComboBox ( http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=56157 ) Regards and Have fun

This is an FTP OCX control. What it does is provide easy to use FTP access to applications. Applications can choose weather to download the file to a location using this control or to strictly store it in a string and make it accessible to the application. This way you could use it to say download a text file from an FTP site in your text editor. I know this control will work in vb6, and I'm almost positive it will also work in VB 4 and 5 because it just uses API to achieve it's goal. Leave comments and suggestions. Thanks :)

If you need a lot of buttons on your forms then you can fairly easily draw them on and save resources.

Here's a nice way to create XP Style Buttons. This literally will just take minutes to change the look of your .exe. Just simply follow the instructions and you'll be quite happy with the result. Note: You have to be on an XP machine for this to work. Visualicious is probably an even better alternative here at PSC, But doing it this way with Reshacker is kind of fun.. and the program is quite interesting...

Well, I only came up with 3 so far. Why you ask? Well, I downloaded this some time ago and thought it was a neat effect but what to use it for? Well, I found a little time to kill and went through all my downloaded code. I re-discovered this and decided to see if there was a fun way to make use of it. I found a couple and decided to resubmit this to PSC to see what some of you evil geniuses could do with it. If you got a little time to play, let's see what you got. ;-) Let's have some fun dammit.... My revisions: Removed the intrinsic VB timer and added Paul Caton's timer class and a reference to the WinSubHook2 typelib included in the zip. In my opinion, Paul's code is one the most useful ever submitted to PSC. I have found a multitude of uses for it and it is simply awesome coding. Also, I formatted the code and changed variable names to my taste. Forgive me Ulli. Finally, I added a TripComplete event for use in my demo. To use, make sure you have a reference to the WinSubHook2 typelib. If for some reason you can not see the effect, substitute the use of the Alphablend (msimg32.dll) API for the use of the GDIAlphablend (gdi32.dll) API call. The parameters are identical so you should only have to change the function name, uncomment the Alphablend api call, and comment the GDIAlphablend API call. Votes are not necessary but if you vote, they are Ulli's.....

ucToolbar version 3.1 (API). // Update 10/17: AddBitmap() and AddIcon() methods. // Fixed shutdown-crash when using manifest for themes (thanks to Abhishek.NET for report this). Also fixed ToolbarEnter() and ButtonEnter() events when button disabled.

A simple text effect control that is best described as black background with falling green letters that reveal a message. The controls [MatrixText] property lets you control what the message is that is revealed..nice splash sceen effect

If you havent heard about it..the api assistant is your api best friend. The api assistant is a thin, unobtrussive strip that sits at the very top or very bottom of your screen (a full 22 pixels high). It is a library of close to 200 of the most common api calls. Here is how it works. Your working on your project..you realize you need the api call "SetWindowPos" Just click on that item (everthing in the api assistant is alphabetized for fast access), click back on your project and the api call is instantly pasted into your project..followed immediately by a window that contains all of the constants or types that that api call would need. Its a huge time saver. Other time saving features of the api assistant also include the skeleton coding of all the most common vb calls. for instance..click the vb functions menu item "select case", an input box asks you how many cases you want..you enter 4...click in your project and instantly a 4 case select case skeleton structure is typed into your project where you clicked. the VB API assistant also has a small, but, evergrowing menu list of functions to also assist you. And just in case this program doesnt give you a specific api solution for you, there is a menu of other api resources for you as well. sorry for the large screenshot movie (2mb) but i felt it was necessarry to communicate what the program does..you know..a picture and a thousand words
