This is an extended timer OCX control permitting Intervals between 10 millisecs and 52 weeks. Although it has quite a few more properties it is still a direct replacement for the standard VB timer control. Check it out, download is only 5kB. Also, it's a good example for beginners who want to learn how to make OCXes.

This OCX records all mouse and keyboard activities for later playback with original timing. May (but should not) also be used as a stealth keylogger. Try playing back the attached TEST.RCD file :-).

I wanted to share what i have learned about supporting XP themes in your existing apps. Note that the themes will only be visible if you are running Windows XP. Any other OS and they will look as they did before. First, make a manifest file for your app. This is fairly simple and samples can be searched for at PSC (go to http://www.planet-source-code.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.27928/lngWId.1/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm and that code will generate one for you). The second thing i learned is that certain controls, especially the option button, will not show up correctly in a frame(ie ugly black box around the option control). This can be resolved by putting your control in a picture box inside the frame. Second, a command button that is set to graphical style will not show up themed. The button has to be a standard style. Note that this property cannot be set through code, it has to de done via the properties in the IDE. Hope this helps.

I've spent hours making this the most flexible 8-sided control in PSC today. You can now change the colour of the borders, have different border styles, use bitmaps for the backgrounds of the control and align the text to the left, right or middle. You can also align icons in the bsOctButton! Support for this control, as I have spent a while on it, would be greatly appreciated. A vote would be too.

At last, the bsHexControls have been updated (unfortunately they are still a bit slow and buggy). They now have the same features as the bsOctControls. If you want to, you can vote...

This is version 3 of my bsGradientLabel, and I've given in. It now supports multiline text, both horizontally and vertically. Check it out! It's a 63 kb download.

It's been a long time, but I am back with a new ActiveX control. Presenting the bsFrame control, standing at around 192kb, which is intended as a more dynamic replacement for Microsoft's intrinsic Frame control. It is in its most basic state at the moment, with support for enabled/disabled states, 3 different frame designs and all 8 possible border styles, as well as customisable colours. In the future there may be support for icons, caption alignment and caption positioning. Also note that BadSoft Online is back up, please visit my site at http://www.badsoft.co.uk. If you can, please leave feedback, your comments and constructive criticism. Votes would be good too.

It's exactly what its name suggests: a label with a gradient background. You can select from 3 gradient styles, caption alignment, custom colours for both the gradient and text, label rotation (horizontal and vertical) and almost any font (some will not work when the label is vertical). If you like it, please give me a good vote. --- NOW SUPPORTS: border styles and text shadows. ---

Replacing the nasty bsOctControls is the latest in BadSoft tomfoolery - the bsPolygonButton. This control will let you create a 3D button with between 3 and 100 sides, with customisable colours. For more UserControls please visit http://www.badsoft.co.uk/activex

Version 4 of the bsGradientLabel control. The code has been rewritten to use the clsGradient class (by Rocky Clark) and Rohit Kulshreshtha's gradient module - it no longer uses msimg32.dll, so Windows 95 users need not complain anymore. Some code redundancy was disposed of too. Also, you can change the angle of two-way gradients. If there are any bugs in the code, please let me know. Enjoy!

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

I first made these controls for NAVEN(the game i am making, search for it on psc), but am now just adding any controls i need for my newest apps, this will probably be my last submission for awhile because i am working on a IDE for 10 languages(hope i finish it), which i will post on psc(probably). this set of controls includes a scrolling container, a gradient label, a fairly unique horizontal scroller(look at it and you will see why there is no vertical one), a gradient progressbar, a system button, a toggle button, a flat button, and a ton of API calls that i will use in the next version of this(a few new controls that i am working on use them). hope you ppl like this.

This is an update to a previous version i submitted a little while ago and am now going to delete, but it has a 3d matrix that stores the neural net. The 3D vertex routines are from Cory Ului, check out his latest code(i think) at: http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=22835 Keywords: 3D three-d three-diminsional 3-diminsional matrix neuron neural network AI

this took a little while to do, but the screenshot dosn't do it justice, i spent about 2 days on this and it is awsome, it will look exactly like an icq pop-up menu(if you right-click the description on the form you can see it), and it is also an easy way to add icons to menus, and to change the background and forecolor and highlight background/forecolors, this looks great and will be a part of my next app(GroupCode, which will be followed by AllCode - these two programs will have an opc client/server connection and i gaurantee you, they WILL change the way you program),i know that when a menu pops up it makes the parent form lose focus, if you have a way to fix this please help me and will post the updated code on psc and give you credit for the fix, please leave comments/bug reports/bug fixes/and votes

Here is a simple custom font dialog. Using the API EnumFontFamily, it finds all TrueType and Fixed width fonts. The font names are displayed, w/icon, in a listview. A slider control allows continuous scrolling of font size. A sample of the font at the selected size and style is displayed. A DrawFameOn routine is included which is used to frame all the controls (see screen shot).

This code shows three different samples of using low security password entry to a form. Yes this is quick, easy and some might think somewhat lame but for beginners these samples will be just fine and useful. It keeps prying eyes out of my stuff anyways. These code examples can easily be modified for more sophisticated routines. It just lays a basic foundation is all.

Want to have a shortcut keys of your programs?? Like in winamp CTRL + P for preferences.. Easy and practical codes for a nummber of lines only!!!

I've downloaded a program with a disabled X but if you press alt F4 it will close so I decided to submit his code because its more practical. No need for API's to disable x, Ignore Alt F4. This is only few lines!!

This project will show you how to scroll all of 'your controls within a small form - EASY! 'NO External Files needed!

This code will give you some ideas on how to break away from VB's standard controls, using VB's standard controls. Ironic isn't it? :) Included: Specialized Textboxes Specialized Command Buttons Scrolling Text SelStart / SelLength
