This tutorial explains how to create executable files during runtime ! Visual Basic does NOT even have to be installed on the computer running your Application !!!! the bas file included in this project helps you to create exe files which include customized data! DURING RUNTIME! "What we do is coding an exe file that opens itself for read access during runtime." Reading the Tutorial won't last longer than 10 minutes and the method you learn can be very EFFECTIVE.

How to upgrade Standard Open / Save Dialog with new text and Picture...

Well here it is, Dirguard de Luxe, as i could not find beta-testers i could only test it on WinNT and win98Se. Now guarding multiple directory's, just ad them to the guardlist and all files within are guarded. Solved the syncronisation of different boxes in previous versions by using a FlexGrid to store the information, i never used Flex-Grid so the code might be somewhat "unusual". Now guarding for : additions, deletions, changes of date, time, attribute and size, also checks if a file can be accessed. The logfile got autoscroll and there is something done about the visualisation of the guarding, again the code might seem a bit exotic here and there. Feedback or a rating would be great, also beta-testers but hey...you can always improve it yourselfe but please inform me about your ideas. (CPU-load while checking 700 files is 19% max)

this is an easy code to get and set any file's attibutes (system, hidden, read-only,...) throught the vb function getatr and setattr

This is an update to 5.0. All the bugs are now fixed!

This will store 24 boolean statements in just a 3 byte file! (3 bytes = 24 bits). I harness the power of bits here and use it to store true and false values. Please vote if u like it and leave a comment.

Need to create a temporary file for whatever? Include this bas module in your project and with one line of code the file will be created and the name returned to your program. Sample project included.

Get the Serialnumber from your harddisk, cd rom or your disks.

This project shows/explains all routines needed to manipulate sections/keys/values within an ini file. It has an intuitive interface, allowing to drag keys between sections, create/delete sections/keys/values, etc, but the routines can also be used individually with other projects. A must have to whom works with INI Files.

Copy a Folder in another Folder. If the Folder not exists then this program will create the Folder.

More examples for Beginners by MrBobo. This little demo demostrates the use of Drive boxes, Dir boxes and Filelistboxes. To give the example some purpose it allows you to safely bulk change the extensions of files in a selected directory. To do this safely you need to quickly parse filepaths and include error handling to avoid overwriting. The demo includes an example of a 'Desktop' and 'Up one level' button in its' browse function, get special folders, enumerating all filetypes from the registry and a simple auto-complete function for comboboxes. Includes an interesting function - Safesave - which appends a number to a filename if the file is found to already exist.

File System 2.4 is an ActiveX DLL that i made to make editing files easier. If you don't want to use a database for whatever reason, (like to little data in your project) text files are probably your next best bet. With this DLL (source IS included) you first call a function to set the file you are working with. Then you use fuctions like XAppend to append to the end of the file, XAddToLine to add some text to the end of the line by entering an any length string that the line begins with and it finds the line and adds the text to the end of it. You can delete lines with the function Xdelete, where you specify an any length string and it finds the line that begins with it and deletes only that line from the file. Use the DLL in your project by going to Add Refrences and selecting the DLL. All the features are then avalible for you to use in your project.

Browse for Folders Dialog with 'Create New Folder' button and 'Include Subfolders' checkbox. CommonDialog with image previews. Both these controls are updated versions of functionality included in some of my previous submissions. Now Win 2K compliant. Please vote if you like it.

This program uses the ASPI layer to manage the basic functions of a tape changer or autoloader. It can inventory the magazine, load and unload a specified tape and clean the tape drive head. It also has an automatic mode. WARNINNG. LARGE file (1.08Mb). Zip also contains SCSI documentation from ANSI and HP, as well as my own document. This program shows how to send RAW SCSI commands to a changer or other device, and get it to do something.

Lets you create time limit on your programs

A Visual Basic example of how to use FileSystemsObject and Regular Expressions to parse Counter-Strike game logs. Requires Microsoft Windows Script 5.5 which is freely available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

This logger has the same functions as most other keyloggers that u get off planetsourcecode but it has a few more useful functions like : · Take A Screenshot Every so many minutes · Log anything the victim does in Hotmail and MSN into its own window (ie. Passwords, or MSN Instant Messages) · This Logger runs in the background and is un-noticeable to the victim. · You can set the logger to pop up a message box every so many minutes · It is disguised as mirc (ie. mIRC password box pops up on startup. If you type runmirc, mirc will run. If you type runlogger, the logger will run) There is probably more stuff, i just don't remember right now.

Another example for Beginners from MrBobo. This example program shows how to communicate between instances of your application. Lets say your application is assosiated to a filetype. The user clicks on such a file and an instance of your application is launched. But what if you want to load the file in the existing instance - not the new one ? There are many examples of how to achieve similar results on PSC. This method is designed for reliability and ease of use with a minimum of code to implement.
