Updated: 20-Feb-2005. Now Include Example Showing Its Uses (Add To SysTray Code) This code allows you to add any command button (or any control with hwnd) to the VB forms's title bar. Take a look at my other PSC submission ID: 58620

This is a custom Frame (Panel) control. It is VERY simple and VERY lightweight. I used the Fast Gradient code from Carles P.V. + Light Templer to generate the background gradients (Excellent code guys - VERY fast). Also I allowed the panel's Picture to be resized to fit in the header properly. Font, Font Color, Border Color, etc.. All included. I am working on making the image transparent.. Stay tuned.

Add a new button to the window caption. Supports Windows XP theming.

This extends the functionality of the listbox by (1) allowing you to create an attractive header with 3 styles ( sunken, framed, raised) (2) specify a header backcolor, forecolor and font.. as well as the fore and backcolor and font of the list portion of the control. The best part of this control is that is specifically designed to be a listbox with tabstops AND you can retrieve AND set data in the list based upon a row and column setting...so all the dirty working of juggling text data is taken care of. This is something i whipped together in a couple of hours so its not totally complete..but its pretty much there..and I am hoping to get suggestions from you on how to enhance and refine it..but I am pretty sure you will like and appreciate it!!

yea yea I know..there are around a million messageboxes on planet. But i was building this one for my app and Im really partial to it and here is why. This does the same things the windows message box does but (1) you can have any size or type picture you want, and specify a transparent color (2) this message box will self close after any number of predefined seconds you specify (If the message box requires a response..ie YesNo messagebox this feature is disabled for obvious reasons) (3)This messagebox self centers vertically and horizontally in relation to its calling form. (4)This message box also responds to the shortcut keys so it can be interacted with the keyboard OR the mouse. Take a look...i think you will like it now.

A superior, in many ways, messagebox. Based on my yesterday submission with improvements. It is in the form of an activeX (usercontrol) now and has 6 differents "skins" (red/candy/blue/orange/yellow/silver) has an option of showing the message with no buttons and self closing as fast as you specify...and you can have a picture, any type, any size. This really makes microsoft messagebox look flat and boring.

With this you can produce three types of alert boxes in the bottom right corner of the screen. You can make new MSN style, Old MSN style and a simple flat one. The MSN boxes are pretty good reproductions of the real thing. I should probably remake with API instead of timers etc. but this will do for now. Basically a little alert slides up, waits for five seconds and slides down again. Enjoy (and vote)!

Microsoft Agent Simple like in Microsoft Office!

Custom form is meant to be saved to the Templates folder with a distinctive name for easy reuse. Add an image to the form and a custom shaped region is created. There are options that will let the form fade when showing and/or closing.

With this control, all you need to do is drop it on your form, and then ANYTHING on your form that is pruple will become transparent. This would be a useful tool for created custom shaped forms. On the example form provided, I have set a command button, label, frame control, text box, and shape control to purple, so they become transparent, incase you somehow got confused on how to use this.

I always wanted to 'imprison' microsoft word and this is the execution of the sentense. I wanted word to reside inside an activex control and not run by itself. I also wanted full control of it and also use it as a report generator. Of cource you must have microsoft word 2000+ on your computer (Sorry for that, but we are going to IMPRISON it so feel a bit better). I have only tested this with word 2003 and I would like your feedback. First loading can be slow (Microsoft!!). This is the VERY first version (pre-alpha) and any comments will be highly appreciated. Forgive my dirty programming demo program but this is the work of a single day and I put effort on the control and not the demo. The concept is for word to live inside the Webbrowser control. You can create named bookmarks and replace them with values at runtime. This is the backbone for custom reports (or templates like reminding letters etc). You can insert pictures, files etc at will anywhere. You can toggle various things on-off. You can print, load and save documents in various formats (see code for 'Save File'). Click on the 'Load Test file' to test the predefined bookmarks. Also there is a technique to load files from the resource file (see code in the control). Well I hope that somebody out there wanted something like this. I wil keep on improving it as I need it in one of my projects (Radiologist reports with IC10 codes etc) but thought that I get some feedback from you while at it. If you care to vote then please leave a message as some sort of feedback that will help me in this project. Have fun and enjoy VB = Very Beautyful :)

This is my ListGrid control..so called because it basically merges the functionality of a listbox with a listgrid control. Some of its appealing features are (1) with a short, simple call you can get or set the text of a specified "cell" in the list (2) you create attractive header (2 possible styles) with as many columns as you wish. (3) clicking any of the columns headers cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order (alphabetically) just like in outlook or kazaa (4) There is a property call .highest_index which makes for slightly easier looping...for example with the listbox or any of ms controls..there is a property such as the listcount so if you want to loop through the list you go> for i = 0 to list1.listcount -1 the .highest_index property already takes that into account so now you just loop by>> for i = 0 to listGrid1.highest_index. The listcount is still available to you as well if you prefer that, (5) your can set the font/forecolor/backcolor, individually for both the header and the list itself. If you prefer the lightweightness (not a real word i dont think) of the listbox, and used the settabs api to try to increase the functionality of the listbox but felt like you wish you could take the improvements many steps further than that then you will love this control. Suggestions for improvement will be implemented so suggest away.

a replacement for the standard line control. creates a line that looks more like the line that makes up the edge of the frame control (screenshot) there are 3 types, (single,double, triple) and 2 different types (embossed, raised). Not a huge or fancy control but will save you about 4 or 5 lines of code, without having to think too hard. with there control there is no coding whatsoever..like the standard line control..just drop and position and your done

Custom Compass control, will show direction or degrees. Private Sub Text1_Change() 'some basic error checking If Val(Text1.Text) > 359 Then Text1.Text = (Val(Text1.Text) - 360) End If 'call the control Compass.Value = Text1.Text End Sub Easy example of using sin in graphics applications.

New release. Hope now working correctly on W9x, too. // Added 'Enabled', 'Bitmap' and 'MaskColor' R/W properties for caption buttons. Fixed centering of bitmap. // 15Kb.

This is a webclass that makes it super easy for you to access the document object, the document.body object, all of the links, image, input elements, and table cells for a web page. And because there is no visible interface (directly anyway)..the pages load super super fast...the second part of this submission is a quick and dirty way to provide your applications with multiline tool tips. Please vote because my Im not strong enouph to pick my head up off the sand and put it back on my body but if i get a lot of good votes that will inspire me a little

This is a draggable toolwindow inside another window. Normally windows can only be inside an MDI form, but this is a great control which looks and acts like a real window. Completely customizable!!! If you plan to place many toolwindows inside a form, try duplicating the source files and adding each toolwindow as a separate toolwindow so you can customize them according to your needs. [ See another demonstration of this control in my other project: City Builder (txtCodeId=57486&lngWId=1)]

Today VB6 has become the most widespread dead (programming) language. In celebration here's the only(AFAIK) ownerdrawn treeview published in VB.

How do you change the icon that appears in the Alt+Tab window? This is nothing new can be found on MSDN. The notes I added here are of interest. More info for skinning forms. Changing a form's icon doesn't affect the Alt+Tab window; you need to change the icon in an upper level, hidden window. Code below shows how. Notes to keep in mind.... The icon does NOT have to be one assigned to a form! If not, the only thing to remember is to cache that icon handle and don't destroy it until your application closes or you reassign using the same code below. Should you not cache the icon, and it is destroyed, the Alt+Tab will show a "blank/invisible" icon instead.
