If your running Windows Xp and would like your programs to use the slick new buttons and other controls that xp does just copy this text in notepad and save it as "VB6.EXE.MANIFEST" and put it in the same directory as VB6.EXE and then you have to do one more thing to make the new controls stick when you make an EXE.

This is a fully customizable message box that is backwards compatible with the standard microsoft message box. It has 3 additional parameters that tell it whether to autosize and what size to be. Using my FormatRTF function..which is also posted seperately on PSCODE, you can include tags to format the text any way you would like (see screen shots). There are no limits to the uses of this box. It can be used as both a Regular or Bottomless Message Box and Includes the ability to set Default Button and the Help Button. It is a function and will return integer values that can be compared to vb constants (ie: vbok, vbretry) so you can determine what the user clicked. It is vaguely commented (if that) because I just decided to throw it up here. If you don't understand it, Now is a good time to Learn!! Hope someone finds this as usefull as I have...(Comments and Enhancement Requests Welcome) - ENJOY!!

Improvement of "A Menu" by Joel CinCity. I liked the idea, but not his implementation. I improved it by removing all references to the calling form in the menu form and using the menu form as an object created by the calling form, and implemented events to trigger the necessary code in the calling form.

Tool intended for the administrators. Two main parts : 1) Windows secrets fonctionnalities. Similar to the PolEdit program. Useful to prevent a workman to modify Windows. - Inhibe some commands like add printer, change display properties, find, execute... - Change icons size - Hide some drive-letters from Explorer - Apply an AutoLogin - Show a message before the login - Lock the NumLock before the login - ... All these changes can be made to a remote computer (you must have admin rights !) 2) Network tools - Ping an IP or DNS. Single or infinite with sound to known the result without seeing the screen ! - Convert IP->DNS and DNS->IP. This fonction can be applied on a range of IP. - Send messages (equivalent to 'net send' DOS command) - See MAC address of all your NIC - Shutdown the local or a remote computer (equivalent to ShutDown.exe from the zerotoolkit) - Read data from the internet (UTC time for exemple) Thats all folk........ for the moment........ This code is usefull if you whish to learn : - Registry manipulations - WinAPI32 - Icontray (small icon near the clock) - Retrieve system information (memory, display...) - Network manipulations and tools THIS IS THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE FRENCH VERSION THAT I'VE POSTED IN DEC 2001. If you have any comment, or other registry tips, email me. I made this program using many small codes and exemples found in PSC.

This can be used freely and I hope that people would add extra features and make it better so that I can learn from it. I am only 13 so I think Its Quite good for my age.

This code will demonstrate how to create a window with partial transparency. The color of the window and the amount of transparency (in percent, from 0 to 100% transparent) are customizable. The code involves no screen capturing, it is actually an alphablended window. The window contents update in realtime as the window is moved, sized, or manipulated in any way. This only works in Windows 2000/XP.

This code will load a picture in mem on form load. Its show how also to do an animation with bitblt. Loading it in memory not only makes fps faster but the program itself.

This is my attempt to make a chess program. The AI still needs a lot of cooking but the UI is done and it knows most rules (read the attached F.I.D.E. Laws Of Chess). Don't try yet to play against the computer - you will win :-) or worse - the program may crash. I myself am a below-average chess player, so I cannot say anything about the program's strenght or style of play. Time limit does not work properly, so give it say 6 or 12 seconds thinking time, more will make you wait virtually forever... Problem solving works though, I think. Unfortunately PSC does not let me upload Gradient.OCX or MsgHook.OCX, so you will have to delete all references to them. Also the TTF Amaze is not uploadable, just substitute another nice looking font for it. The piece images were copied from RJSoft's Chess Program, with his permission. Enjoy.
