Creates a totally customizable MsgBox replacement which can have custom icons and buttons. Report any bugs or suggestions, and feel free to modify the code (just give me credit for the original). One thing I haven't gotten around to adding yet is the support for default buttons, so if you have to, you can add that. Also, in order to use this in the sample prog (any prog for that matter), you have to compile it into a DLL and reference in the project first. PSC doesn't allow precompiled DLLs, so you have to do it. [ UPDATED ] It now has full support for changing the colors of the buttons and messagebox, as well as their colors

The problem with standard TextBox is that it background can't be transparent, I've developed the transparent text with standard Label objects. You can not type in text in Label object at Runtime, but with help of PictureBox you can type characters and edit text in Label objects. All Label objects that you want to be transparent and editable you must put on one PictureBox, and PictureBox will then work with Label objects… You can use the transparent text with "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" - "FM20.DLL", but there is one problem: this ActiveX component is not recommended to use, and it'll work only on computers with Microsoft Office 98 or late installed.

This is how to use gradient colors in a form. You do not need to do anything or write lines of code to add gradient to your forms. Just put the these three lines in Form_Load Sub Update Note: Thanks for comments, Form_Resize is a better sub if your form is not fixed size

Make eye catching GUI interfaces with this easy to use CommandButton replacement, and Make your project stand apart from the rest. With a host of new gradient color,icon and highlight effects, this control will no doubt enhance your App's UI !

The Cool Title Bar control allows you to have custom title bars with spectacular gradient effects, image support and also a rich and interactive user interface. The simplicity of this control in terms of use and the power of it will enable even a novice programmer to create eye catching applications. NOTE:THIS CONTROL HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH VB 5/VB 4

Add HyperLinks to your VB programs easily! Control Itself manages to open the target - any Program, Document, Web Address, Email Address.....are fully supported. Looks like a real web Hyperlink, uses appropriate mouse pointers, underlines or changes the font color on mouse hover. Provides like MouseHOVER, MouseLEAVE and RightClick. New programmers can learn many things....(1) How to open any document or URL in its default associated program....(2) How to give mouse hover events in VB controls, and many more. A very useful and handy control, please vote or comment it.

A class that converts existing forms to something like WinXP forms. NEW: Menu support on a borderless form. The support isn't 100%, but pretty good. Enclosed is a Read Me file you should take a minute or two to glance over. It describes what this thing can and cannot do and how to use the class Note. Still doesn't support MDI forms.

Now they double as Option buttons. Why have all those cool buttons & be stuck with standard gray option buttons? Nope, not any more. Also included a new gradient button added (Win98 & higher). A few other minor improvements were also made. Submitted for your feedback & comments, especially pertaining to bugs. Thanx.

A custom control that allows you to use an Office XP-style toolbar with your applications. Combine with the vbAccelerator Icon Menu Control (www.vbaccelerator.com) and you can make your apps look almost completely like Office XP!

Nice circular Form

You can use FM20.dll library from Microsoft forms 2.0 for create easily Multi-Column Combo and Transparent Text Box. It is too easy a cool!. Identical to appearence Microsoft Access forms. Rate mi code, please! See you later!

Change background/foreground color of Progressbar. using SENDMESSAGE/win32API

This control makes it very easy to add a horizontal split bar to your application. Eventually this control will include vertical splitbars as well. To use this control: 1. Place the control on a form. 2. Place controls above and below the splitbar control. This control needs at least one control above it and one control below it to function. The idea is that instead of using code to set the maximum and minimum scrolling positions controls are used instead. This makes it easy to visualize the range of motion for the control. Also, you can reposition the controls in response to form resize events, and the splitbar will use the new positions. Controls that are used only for setting splitbar ranges can be hidden at run time. In the future I will probaly change this so that the splitbar uses its current position for the maximum top or maximum bottom position if no controls are added to the top or bottom. 3. In the form load event add references to the controls to the splitbar using the AddControlTop and AddControlBottom events. i.e. splitbar1.AddControlTop Text1 splitbar1.AddControlBottom Text2 splitbar1.Update Calling splitbar.Update will align the bottom of all TopControls controls with the top of the splitbar and the tops of the BottomControls to the bottom of the splitbar. Known bugs. 1. Currently the splitbar control brings itself to the top when a user moves it. This was intended to make using the control easier, but it will hide any labels contained in the control. I think thats it, if you find more please let me know. Also, please send me any ideas you may have to make this control better.

first, my apologies for my bad english, hehe. this example demonstrates how to accept only numbers in a textbox control with ONE LINE OF CODE AND FAST CODE. * MUST SEE *

A UserControl made with a VB6 Treeview control (MSCOMCTL.OCX - 6.00.8862) with customized Background (Color, GradientRectHor, GradientRectHor GradientTri, tiled Picture), Backcolor, Forecolor, Buttons, Tooltips etc.

Drop in OCX control adds an alpha-blended shadow to the bottom and right borders of the containing form. No properties to set or code to add! Just drop and go. Fixed in 1.1 - Shadow artifacts are no longer left on forms brought to the foreground and the shadows are now correctly repainting when bringing the containing form to the foreground.

This is an amazing spiral creator. So simple yet so complicated! Look what you can do with a simple PictureBox! Look for yourelf in my screenshot! Please also vote and add comments =)
