Among other things, this code demonstrates how to make 2 forms work together as if they were a single form. Make a form "hide" behind another and scroll down smoothly to reveal itself later. Also demonstrates how to make a custom title bar, the correct way to minimize an application, how to respond to the System Menu, and much more. It's hard to describe but it's well worth the download. Heavily commented code makes it very easy to follow what's happening. Votes and comments are appreciated!

This is an example that shows how to create your own kind of listbox control. This listbox does most of the stuff the normal vb listbox does, except it also lets you use a picture for the background and lets you add pictures next to items. The listbox is also done in a different style.

2 custom controls are included in this project. Drag control will allow you to move the form around using any control. controlbox is a custom controlbox with 3 buttons which can be eneabled/disabled, for which you set caption and font properties, a popup menu, icon propery which can also be changed. The custom controlbox can be minimized/maximized/closed like a normal controlbox. This is a must have if you are tired of having same control box every time!!!

This control will let you visually display Data in an easy to understand way.

Can Change The Shape of any form

Makes a Form Trans Parent

This subroutine shows how to Really put a ComboBox (or any control with a hWnd) onto a ToolBar (or any other control/window with a hWnd).

This code, which was inspired by a similar snippet of code by Ian Ippolito, permits tiling an image onto a form's background. This variant, though, resides in a module and is called by a form instead of residing within the form's code itself. This permits using the feature project-wide without redundant code all over the place.

This code, which was inspired by a similar snippet of code by Ian Ippolito, permits tiling an image onto an MDI parent form's background. Getting an image onto an MDI parent is easy. Getting a tiled one is another story. We could try using a Clipboard operation, or build a big tiled background and save it and then laod it into the MDI parent's Picture property, but these are nasty, anal-retentive, and likely to simply not work. This code, however, works...

Resizes two text boxes AS a divider is dragged left or right. Maintains full bounds checking. The methods used can be applied to other controls as well. This is a form of splitter bar.

Draws a nice 3D-Starfield in a Form (uses X,Y,Z positions) width a very short code Shades each star depending on the distance.

This .bas module allows you to re-size your form and all the controls re-size with it. I kept looking for code out on the internet that would do this right but I was never successful. So, I wrote this to eliminate the need for any ocx's or dll's. It resizes the SStab control which I found was a problem with most resizing routines (check it out for yourself). It also handles lines. It's also alot quicker. All you have to remember is two things. First, add the resize module (rs_form.bas), Second, Add one line of code (ResizeForm Me) to each form you want to re-size.
