This projects demonstrates how you can detect Mouse Over and Exit events on a form using a class module.

Major Updates...Now, Picture shadow on OfficeXP buttons, easier button setup...etc.

This code allows you to have the smooth-scrolling effect seen in better applications on your datagrids(could also apply to other scroll bars in VB) When you grab the trackbar and move it, VB doesn't do anything until you let go. Or if you click on the trackbar itself, the grid just jumps. This code shows you how to change these effects so that the grid(or text) will scroll smoothly as you drag or click.

I'm finally updating this submission! I have completely redone all three controls. The command button is more richer, has more of the "feel" of the acutal Windows XP command button. I noticed previously it flickered, not anymore! I'm completely drawing these buttons to the user control, so there is no flicker. I was also using a timer to detect when a mouse entered and exited the control, which was a bad idea. I'm now using a different method. On these controls you can set the ForeColor, BackColor, and Font properties. Responds just like actual Windows XP buttons. This is a major improvement from my last submission. Well anyway, hope you enjoy these, now everybody can take advantage of the appealing Windows XP look. NOTE: In the screenshot, the controls on the left are the cloned ones :-) Can't really tell a difference, can ya?

Cool list ..., see screen shot.

Ever wanted your VB6 apps to fit in with Windows XP? Now you can do just that. There are other samples on this site that accomplish this, but they use user controls or images - which means that the controls are slow and may not be resizable - and they're large. Want a better solution? This is it. Real Windows XP controls on Windows XP that match the user's visual style (i.e. theme), without user controls or images, with only one API call. You can even use the standard Visual Basic controls (buttons, scrollbars, checkboxes, etc.) and it will work - all with the speed of a native application. Because it is a native application, using Windows to draw the controls.

Create a listview with editable subitems, without using the MSFlexgrid control. Stand alone module can be used for any project where you need this kind of functionality. It doesn't use subclassing, so it will not make your project unstable.

NOW WITH MAX AND MIN PROPERTIES!! This is a simple horizontal progress bar with yellow and red zones. The zones can be changed and values must be within 100. If you don't want any zones at all and just want green, just set the yellow and red to 100. Still working on a more visible label for the center, otherwise not bad. PLEASE VOTE NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK.

An analog clock with alarm function to remind the developer of real life ;-) Features: resizes with form, optional Ticking, Wave File Sound Alarm or Beeping (two wav-Files included), rightclick for options

Usercontrol to make a calendar like outlook , to make your planning etc... not yet implemented to save the notes etc....it's the first version , and my first custom control....

Automatically completes text entry according to a listbox contents. Autofill/Autotext uses one text control and one listbox control to simulate an autotext feature. Works fast thanks to SendMessage API (supports loooong lists w/o trouble). Supports Up and Down arrow keys as well as PgUp and PgDn. Enter key behaves like tab. Highly commented code.

Having seen so many code snips that either only work with Windows9x or return incorrect values, I decided to write one that should work accross ALL version of Windows. I was able to find multiple pieces of code all over the place and assembled them into a neat little ActiveX control. This usercontrol can be be used visually, and optionally display the history of any if the following values; CPU Load %, Memory Load %, Free Pagefile %, Free Virtual Memory % and the HD Free space %. The control can also be hidden and used to manually retrieve the values below using the GetCurrentSystemLevels routine. This allows you to retrieve current system levels and isplay the information using your own layout/design; CPULoadPercent, MemoryLoadPercent, PhysicalMemoryTotal, PhysicalMemoryAvailable, PhysicalMemoryAvailablePercent, PageFileTotal, PageFileAvailable, PageFileAvailablePercent, VirtualMemoryTotal, VirtualMemoryAvailable, VirtualMemoryAvailablePercent, HDTotalBytes, HDTotalFreeBytes, HDAvailableFreeBytes, HDTotalBytesUsed, HDAvailablePercent The visual look of the control is fully customizable. All colors can be modified to fit the individual needs of developers.

mdi non activating & reduce toolbar example (kind of like (photoshop or dreamweaver toolbars) This tutorial shows how to create non-activating toolbars in a mdi app. You can hide, reduce the toolbars, and they do not appear in the menu windowlist. There is no subclassing for the non activating toolbars, and no ocx are used, just a couple of API. There is also an example of subclassing all the child windows on the fly when creating them. That lets you specify a minimum size for all the child windows ! There is no subclassing, and no ocx are used, just a couple of (easy) API.

This snippet creates an uneditable textbox/label whose contents can be copied to the clipboard. This is just like the textboxes in the File properties of Windows (open Windows Explorer, right-click on a file and select PROPERTIES, you'll see that several fields here can be copy/pasted although they cannot be modified). Straightforward and commented code.

this http client user control (ocx) makes the downloading of webpages, files, whatever, greatly simplified and demonstrates some very key internet programming concepts such as the use of the winsock control, protocol programming, as well as user control properties, property bags, and things like that. The control returns any http errors, messages, and also handles redirects. vote if you want, but i don't upload for rating, just to help. later.

Forget about the PopUPMenu function in vb that restrict you just to use existing menus to use like popupmenus, with this class you will create dynamic popup menus with submenus and columns if you want.. if you like and don't want to vote. just send a comment... ( The dll code is inside zip, u just need the dll to binary compatibility ) now the dll is inside.. Don't forget to vote now!!!

This is an Active X control you can add to your apps and have nice, smoothly scrolling text which makes them look pretty good :) The ocx can scroll right->left or bottom->top and background+text colors are customisable. Text scrolls, optionally pauses at the edge for specified ms and then continues to scroll off It uses bitblt to do the drawing so its flickerless and goes pretty smoothly. Also, this code simulates an asynchronus function as i couldnt see a way to make/call an asynchronus function in vb. Please vote for it!

Recently a person calling himself Dustin Tinsley submitted source code for a UserControl to emulate the vertical graphical menu style popularised by MS Outlook. When I pointed out to him the amazing similarities between his code and one which had been written by one Robert L. Kubelka, and made available on other sites about three years ago - the similarities extended to such things as identically worded comments, spelling mistakes and even typos - he immediately removed my comments and any other subsequent postings. Ian Ippolito has since then deleted the code and I offered to upload the original. Should you feel this code is worthy of a vote, please do not vote for me - it is not my code (either!) - I'm sure the original author would appreciate a note of thanks. Thanks also to Ian Ippolito for keeping PSC honest.
