With this, you can maintain a translucent form background with 100 percent visible controls! This is the Win2k/XP translucency, so it live updates! I came up with the idea for this while I was playing a game on my ps2, and I saw a translucent thing on the screen. And I started thinking about this, and I made it! Please leave feedback!

This code is a custom control I wrote for use in our companies products. It has tons of implemented ideas in it - way, way too much to list. So a full HTML help file is also included. The grid will bind directly to an ADO recordset, or will make an internal copy of the recordset if you wish. I would like to thank everybody that posts on this site. Some of the examples have been invaluable over the years, so I like to return the favors.

I needed to use windows xp (32-bit alpha icons) icons in my vb app, but vb does not supports them. one day I found a example on vbaccelerator, the vbaccelerator example was fully working but I found one problem with it. the example shown at vbaccelerator needed we should make a Resource Script, in other words the resource file should be manually made. this article shows how you can use xp style icon for the follwing conditions: 1. without using resource at all or without breaking you existing resource file. Plese Vote If You Found this Usefull.

Pretty much this is an Win XP style menu that Fades in and out alos includes the Drop Shadow Effect. It still could have alot more work done on it. I made this because the "Plane" style menus just wasnt cutting it, and I would like my menu to semi match the rest of my programs. Hope this helps. Please vote

Need to add a Sizing Grip to your form without the ComCtl32 overhead? Wish you could have a control which detects the OS version, applies the correct style (Windows Classic and XP Styles), and automatically adjusts it’s location based on the parent forms resize event? Then this control is for you…Simply drop the control anywhere on your form and it takes care of the rest….enjoy!

Popmenu for beginners, shows great example of how to implement a popup menu into your program, from this example you should be able to add popup menus to which ever control you wish, hope this provides use to sombody.

A transparent window which stays on the top of the desktop icons and allows you to click them. At the current stage you can only click/dblclick on the icons, but don't forget -- this is just the first version. In the next release you will be able to manipulate all windows in the sysem. Please vote for me if you like the code and its conception! :-))

This is a grid control that is based on VB's ListView control. It includes methods to get and set individual cell data, row counts, column sorting, and column widths. I got the code that is used for the multi-line tooltips from somebody else's PSC submission.

An XP frame control, check it out. Screenshot doesn't do it justice. Based off of Flex dit Tannos frame control. Tons of options and features. *UPDATED April 29, 2005*

This is a class that allows you to easily..without any api knowledge, create rect regions and fill/paint them in a variety of cool ways..and if you vote make sure you vote for Kerry

Change the Old Appearance of the SSTab Control With Some new Cool Options. Ok some of the PSC coders ask me to fix some of the bugs on this code, instead I change the Subclass Code … the SStab Control is now more safe , without any vb Crash, and also easy to call the SStab Function.

I used the idea of Michael Hammond, Dot Matrix clock, and made a control out of it. Right now, you have the choice of 4 colors, of course you can add some yourself. You can change the font. The width of the control is ajustable but the height will automatically adjust to the height of one line of text depending on the font you choose. Tell me what you think.

Definately see screenshot. This is a iTunes/shockwave-style star-like rating system. I havent seen this (to my recollection) on PSC. This was developped for a custom DVD/Video management application. Set the MaxStars to 4, and use it to rate restaurants. Use (virtually) any number of stars and rate at an interval of 0.5.

Automatically generate statistics for anything (even comment fields!). Just send it the data, or tell it where to find it (txt and mdb files) and Uber Stats does the rest (locations can be relative). Instructions can be found on the form during design time - check it out, its way easy to use!

I needed a simple msword compatible text editor in various parts of my system. So I sat down one night and designed this ActiveX control which you can 'throw' into any form. You can even bind it on a database. No technology breakthroughs here. Just lots of time saving when you want your users to have some control over what they write and you want to save them exactly as they want. It uses the richtextbox encapsulated as an activex and so you dont have to write any code every time you need a simple editor. Just throw it in. You can enable or disable the "New', 'Open', and 'Save' buttons. Some of the code for the richtextbox comes from some other contributors of planet-source, but I dont remember from who. Dont have to vote for it. I just hope that you find it useful.

This is a listbox class that adds several great features to the standard listbox. (1) function draw_header:=This function draws an attractive header at the top of your listbox so it looks more like a listview control. The string you provide should be the text you want for your header, seperated by pipe ""|"" characters. The [container] parameter is the object the listbox is drawn on..ie the form or frame or picturebox (2) sub additems_with_tabs:="This sub allows you to additems to the listbox in such a manner that string ""string|string2|string3"" takes the pipe character and converts it to tabs" (3) sub horiz_scrollbars:="Allows you to add horizontal scrollbars to the listbox. If [scroll_width] is not supplied then the items in the list are scanned and if horizontal scrollbars are required, then it is added, making the listbox wide enouph to view the widest list entry. If [scroll_width] is supplied then you are manually adding them, the width based upon the value you supply for [scroll_width]." (4) function search:="Allows you to search for an item in the listbox. This acts like the autocomplete feature of browsers in that the search is case insensitive, and a partial match returns the index of the first listitem matching so a search of ""VIS"", for example, will return the index of ""visual basic"" entry in the listbox." (5)initialize_listbox:= "This must be the first method called and it sets reference to the listbox you will be referring to in this class." (6) sub hot_tracking (this one is real cool) "Calling this sub and setting [benable] to True makes your listbox have a ""hot-tracking"" effect in that moving your mouse over the listbox causes the item under your mouse to be hilighted" (7) sub individual_item_tooltips:="The tooltip for the listbox displays the contents of the listitem the mouse is over. Useful if the contents of listitems width exceed the width of the listbox itself" (8) sub tabstops:="Set tabstop points for the listbox. Specify in pixels..a value for each succeeding column" (9) sub add_many_items:="Enables you to add multiple items with one call. Each item to add is seperated by a comma."

Ever wish you could add a Sizing Grip to your form without the added overhead of the ComCtl32? This control provides a nice work around and builds on the code of Karl Peterson’s subclassing technique to provide a lightweight solution that is only ~4kb. Simply drop on your form and of you go...

THis is a joystick class that finds a valid joystick and then returns to you one event that reports everything you need to know to program that joystick..from which button is being pressed to the X and Y pos of both joyhandles(assuming your joypad has two..if only 1 this will still work) to the position of the D-pad
