Teaches you how to auto-scroll a richtextbox, but it accounts for the vertical scrollbar. If the user has the scrollbar moved up, or at the top, it does not scroll down and stay at the bottom. This is very usefull for logging windows or chat windows. There is no code to do this on PSC. I would like to thank BillSoo from www.visualbasicforum.com for his help in solving this. He gave me the initial code and sent me in the right direction. After fixing it, here it is for everyone to use. This is just a little demo, the timer runs every second adding a line to the box, just watch it go and then play with the scrollbar, it only scrolls down if its already at the bottom.

This is a zip with 4 modules and an example of how to use them. The modules are for Verbs, Adjectives, Numbers, and Dates. They do many things. Such as conjugating verbs into all of their possible forms. Translating numbers (ex: 1 = ichi, 283 = nihyaku hachijuu san.) Converting dates and times from english to japanese, and others. Very helpfull for writing japanese study tools and flash card style programs.

This article is based on Vbmew's "make 7 byte .exes" (http://www.1cplusplusstreet.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=2221&lngWId=3) His article perked my interest in the Assembly language, so I went out and did some research. This article is a very brief primer on assembler and machine code.

This code will show you how to save the current Screen Resolution and colors to an ini file then change the resolution to a resolution you specify.

This is an exclusive, screen saver version of the VB Snow program! I have been testing it as my default screen saver for a couple days now, and it works great! There is no config screen for it, but it works just like a normal screen saver should! I added full screen support (640x480), real time rotating snowflakes (done with calculations, not different pictures, real-time mask generation, and all sorts of nifty stuff! I fixed the full screen support to work much better, and added in multiple background support! You can add your own backgrounds in, just edit the backgrnd.dat file! Make sure they are 640x480 also, or it doesn't work well. This new version also adds in support to make this program work as a screen saver! You can right click the .SCR file included in this zip, hit Install, and it works just like a normal screen saver! (Minus the password protection)
