This emulates a textbox with some limitations. But this text box control can have a texture picture. Something different from the standard colors.

As many peoples seems to be interested in creating a screen saver, here is the code for a basic "blank screen" screen saver. You just have to put any animation you want. This code has all screen savers features, including password protection and preview... Have fun!

This is a form based custom message box. It uses a simple API call to extract icons such as vbInformation, vbExlamation, and etc. (you can even adjust the location of the icon on the form) to simulate a msgbox. There are less than 20 lines of code for the API call. This is pretty cool. So, check it out. I got this tip from a VB technical journal.

Advanced Controls - SuperRuler 1.0 OnScreen measurement control. Select between four ScaleModes, change Fore and Back Color, use hoover or click values. Includes mouse tracking.

This is great! Its a very simple UserControl I created that completely replaces the mess of common dialog. For example, if you load my OCX into your program and you want to edit the font of a rich text box, all you need to is type "RazorDialog1.SetFont RichTextBox" -- thats it! just replace the name of RichTextBox with whatever your rich text box is called! I made common dialog so simple, you will never need to load it again. Please vote! Please give me credit if you use this is any of your programs. THIS WORKS ON WINDOWS9X MACHINES.

This is a bug-fix update for the cTreeView DLL/Class Wrapper.

I had always found it frustrating when I needed to convert a bitmap into an icon because popular software such as MSPaint or paint shop pro does not do it. Here is a small VB program that converts a bitmap to icon. Alessandro wanted to know if he can display the image before converting it. (Done)

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.
