This code flattens ComboBoxes (even if they are ownerdrawn), EditBoxes and Checkboxes without any problems. It also flattens OptionButtons, but the code is still buggy, please wait until the next version (but i need help on that part!!!) :-(

If you have artistic talent, you can make buttons with this code in any format easily. All that you have to do is draw a image. I included some images like example.

~This is version 2 of my Menu Replacement control~ See below to see whats been changed since version 1. Have you ever wanted to use your own custom menu instead of the one that comes with windows? You know, those little popup menus you get when you right-click on something, well, I've made a replacement for them (All source included). It lets you make a popup menu animated like the windows ones, but fully customizable. There is the .ocx source and a demo program that uses the menu.ocx to display an example menu. The code is commented and not too hard to understand. If you like the code please vote or leave comments. -Daniel Taylor ([email protected]) *This is a complete user-drawn menu** i don't use the windows popup menu at ALL...* History: ~Verion 2.0~ +Optional Picture can be displayed on left side of menu. +Menu now animates both width and height when opening. +Fixed BackColor problem, now when backcolor is set on usercontrol, the menu's backcolor is the same. +3 Selection Styles for when the mouse is over an item. +Menu Items now have optional names for better control over the click event. +Each menu item can have it's own Forecolor, HotForecolor, and HotBackcolor, when not specified they revert to the usercontrol's ItemForecolor, ItemHotForecolor, and ItemHotBackcolor values. +When Menu is shown partly off the screen, it automatically moves itself back on. ~Version 1.0~ The Origional... +Automatically resizes to whatever text you specify +Backcolor, Forecolor, HotForecolor, and HotBackcolor all customizable +3 BorderStyles. +Easy To Implement, just 2 commands let you do almost everything. +Completely Userdrawn, i.e. doesn't use any preexisting popupmenu, just a normal form. +Menu optionally animates like Win98+ menus, i.e. the StartMenu. +Animation speed is adjustable, so menu opens at different speeds. ~Things To Work On~ -Can't have child menus. *In order to use this control you have to compile it yourself, since PlanetSourceCode deletes compiled .ocx files. Its easy, just open then MenuCtl.vbp file and click File -> Make Menu.ocx and then it will ask for a filename, make sure it's Menu.ocx. Once compiled you can run the example.vbp project without problems.*

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!!!!!

Show a wait box with progress while your program is performing a task that takes a long time. This project shows an application modal wait box while doing a work. You can change the progress value from the owner form with preventing the user from activating it. The wait box also shows time infos such as start time, elaspsed time, end estimated time, remaining time.

This code can turn off the focus rectangle of a button. It is very simple to add to your own application, and very small.Check out this cool effect and vote for me!

This program allows you to dynamically create a popup menu with images from a database. You enter the menu items you want in the database and the program creates the menu.

I am not the author - This is a outstanding free control that anyone bulding an editor should take a look at. http://www.winmain.com/ WinMain Software develops CodeMax, a powerful Win32-based custom control that gives application developers the ability to add sophisticated code editing capabilities with a minimum amount of effort. You won't find a better source code edit control around. CodeMax is vastly superior to its competition -- it has more than twice the features, is as fast as the integrated development environments, and is totally free (source code, too).

New in this demo: Active titlebar skin (all running applications) and a new version of my award winning Textanimation control. Extra in this version is: transparent background, Picture background, Transparent background of parent form!, a lot of gradient options, MousIn and Mouse out events, ..? Also in this demo: system tray skin with tickertape, docked window with tickertape, text animation demo, transparent animation (including form), vertical titlebar, gradient form, button control with a lot of properties, Win2k form transparency, animating logo, ...? This publication is using code of about a dozen developers, so thanks everyone.

You can make your forms transparant by adding this control to your form. You can set the transparancy level and you can fade in and fade out your forms with very litle coding (All the code you need is in the screen sample). Be aware that the transparancy will only work on Windows 2000. If you run the code on an other version, then you will just see the forms without transparancy. Yes, I have used the transparancy code that was published by others. Here is the reference for this: When i saw the code 21385 from faisal arif, i wanted to reproduce that. After a search on planet source code on transparancy i found a working sample 8015 from J.-A. Mock. I used this code as a base to crate the control. According to Reland Kluit this code is a 'stolen' copy of his code 6546

New version at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=24869&lngWId=1 With this control you can flicker free animate multiple text lines. You can animate position, rotation, size and color. During the animation every text line is clickable.

Provides developers with a customizeable DIP switch control common in many hardware applications.

This is a project which contains a user control with a grid that allows editing and also column locking, plus all the properties of the flexgrid

Background coloring tool for shading forms and fading a color from top to bottom. Colors are chosen using a color slider.

Remember the custom defined colors for the common_color_dialog.

This control is just an image of a dashboard fuel gauge with a needle pointing to the percentage done. It's very simple and can be modified to use other images. It has the typical min, max, value properties along with a property for showing the value label. The source is not commented much, but it's mostly self explanatory. I hope you like it, and modify it to suite your needs. PLEASE VOTE, I'd like to continue making more gauges and switches, so inspire me!

I have just done a major update! This Form with Scroll Bars Control has everything that you always dreamed of on a Scrolling Form and more! Following is a list of the most important features available on this versatile ActiveX Control: ____________________________________________________ (1) The Form will scroll vertically and horizontally! ____________________________________________________ (2) It will scroll automatically to the field with focus if the field is out of site. ____________________________________________________ (3) It will highlight the field or button that has the Focus (Actually, any Control inside of the Scrolling Form that can get focus). ____________________________________________________ (4) Besides been able to optimize the space on your applications by been able to scroll in any direction, you can now flip pages! This feature is much like a wizard’s page. The control will track the number of added pages and which page is currently been viewed. ____________________________________________________ (5) The control will memorize the last field selected and the scroll bars position on every page. Therefore, whenever you move to a new page, you can opt to have the Scrolling Form ActiveX automatically select the last field selected on the corresponding page or select the first field of the page. ____________________________________________________ (6) The Control can automatically select the text of every Text Box selected. ____________________________________________________ (7) You can add a background picture to the control. This picture will be set as the background picture of every added page! ____________________________________________________ (8) You can set the background color of the control. This color will be set as the background color of every added page! ____________________________________________________ All of these features are neatly packed as an ActiveX Control. It is very easy to use! What are you waiting for?!! Go ahead and download it! The Source Code of the OCX is included and is heavily commented!!

This is a control that will allow you to create a form that can be scrolled by the user. It is very simple to implement. This submission is heavily based on another submission by Fred_Cpp: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/showcode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=31896 I hope that Fred doesn't get mad at me for tweaking his code! :) My modified version has little changes. When there is no need to scroll horizontally or vertically, the scroll bar is hidden. The scroll bars do not have the annoying blinking anymore. I did a lot of clean up on the code and added a few comments in "English". I think that the example looks better, too. It would be good if you guys could give me some feedback. ============================================ I have just uploaded an ActiveX Control that is much better.
