INTRODUCTION: I searched a lot For articles about VB & Midi, found some, but mostly they only handled short messages, the easy part. Here I needed To go further To solve a problem I had. The project turned out To be a bit sizy, but it embeds a lot of knowledge that was hard To find. So it could mean a great deal To someone starting With programming midi. The main objective was To automate convertions of Roland SC-55 System Exclusive Bulk Dumps into a shorter alternative, using as much short messages As possible, so other modules can receive the messages too. Other features are mixing the SC settings, generate fade In/outs, Read & write midi, more Or less wysiwyg printing of the dump values, midi piano, midi thru, etc. PURPOSE: Analyse SC-55 System Exclusive bulk dumps Generate alternatives for this huge bulkdump in case a high percentage are default data Edit the Sound Canvas settings ENVIRONMENT: This is a VB5 project. Since the WebBrowser control is used (provided with Windows 95) it can be run under Windows 95, but Windows NT doesn't install this control (~ SHDOCVW.DLL) automatically, so there you should find a way to install it yourself. No other (than basic VB) controls are used.

Get the RGB value of a color under your mouse pointer! Really usefull for image editing programs! Enjoy :)

This is just a "Splash Screen" with Progress Bar, Ontop and Center Form funtions too. It is only beginner code tho, I like doing beginner stuff :) Enjoy - Love Factor :-P

Font Selector III This is the newest version of Font Selector. All the thing you need is the Font.ctl. Copy it, and Drag it into your project browser, and enjoy it. This is the newest, fastest, smartest and coolest version!!!

LED Control without API (PSET & POINT only)

Adds a control to your form at run-time. Does not use control arrays or the Load statement. Control does not even need to be referenced. NO API.

Wow.. talk about cool replicas. I used KR's Awards winning Gradient control for this code. A Custom Control that when placed on your form mimics the red swooshing light on the front of KITT, the car from Knight Rider. You can change the BackColor, ForeColor and the speed at which it swooshes.

Add an animated system tray icon to your project with the help of this ActiveX control. Features: variable frame timing, multiple animation sequences, zoom to/from tray effect, popup menu, and customisable tip text.

Here is a way to add bitmaps to menus. It is very simple. The bitmaps should be 15x15 PIXELS (For the best fit). That will give you the best effect. :)

Lets you set the minimum size your form can be (I haven't seen anything else like this, I did it cause I wanted a form of mine to not go below a size), Also provides a one-step way to add a bitmap to a menu item (someone submitted something like this in the previous day or two, although I didn't take my code from them), and an easy way to add your icon to the system tray. This is my first submission, although I've been using PSC for a while now. I'ld appreciate any voting you could do. Also, comments are greatly appreciated. I'ld love it if you could fix any bugs you come across and send me an email!

Provides an improvement/replacement for VBs CommandButton. Allows graphics on the left of the button text, mouseover graphics, flat buttons, and setting backcolor and forecolor all of which can't be done or are hard to do with VBs CommandButton. A similar control exists on PSC called Gold Button and is by Night Wolf.

This is a simple program that can make you print what you type. But you can improve it to make it more beautiful. You can make it like an order form. Try it first. And you know then.

Ok I didnt CREATE this but I did OPTIMIZE it and make it into a COMPLETE control, the gentelmen that made it slips my mind but it was like yesterday i think, anways using the VB accelerator ssubtmr.dll and this control allows you to LIMIT the form size of as MANY forms as you want in a single project. Its quite nice, give it a try! PLEASE VOTE! :O) UPDATED....... No Need for SSubTmr6.DLL I decided it would be ALOT easier for Newer guys to use this if they didnt have to worry about distributing a DLL so... I just sorta built the DLL Code into the Control.... ENJOY!!

Updated version of ButtonEx control replacement for CommandButton. Provides more control over the pictures displayed when mouse down, mouse up, mouse over and has focus. Provides "skin" support alongside of picture support. Did you ever wonder how WinAmp and other programs make the button "glow" when you move your mouse over them or press them? ButtonEx provides that through "skins" for each individual button state (up, over, down, focus, disabled).

Do you know the code "Real C++ Buttons" by Randy Mcdowell? It sends a message to a VB Button to make it a "C++ Button". But if you look at this button with Spy++ you will see that it is still a "ThunderCommandButton", the VB Button. My code lets you use EVERY C++ control in your app!!! And these controls are REAL C++ controls!!! Think of the fantastic controls you can have: e.g. the cool hotkey control. Or what about a "real" RICHEDIT control? The only limitation is your fantasy! Control events are also supported. Well commented, and easy to use even if you don't understand everything that happens. Have fun with this code, use it in your app, and if you like it VOTE FOR IT!!!

Class module for resizing/repositioning controls on a form. See source code for details.

Automatically search through a combo-box's list as the user types into the text portion of the control. The code exists for allowing entry of text that does not already appear in the list, as well as handling the Backspace and Delete keys in a logical manner.

This code will allow you to create a new instance of a control at runtime ! Imagine. When your app is RUNNING you can create a new command button or a textbox on the fly ! The code they didn't want you to know ;)

Ever wondered what the button_click event was for in a DBGrid? Well, this is it! You have to populate a listbox control and display that with the selection information. This will simulate a dropdown box within the dbgrid. This is an excelent way to input specific information into the dbgrid.

Centers a form, relative to the available workspace. This means that if your users have high, or wide taskbars, or other apps which restrict the workspace, your forms will still center properly.
