This ** demonstration program gives examples of how you can control Outlook using AUTOMATION to create mail, contacts, folders and appointments. It shows how to create contacts in a specific group of your choosing which serves as a good example of folder manipulation in Outlook. You can adapt this code to create the other outlook items. Don't forget that you can find out more by reading the Outlook VBA documents or by pressing F1 in front of options you don't understand.

A few VB editor-shortcut keys that make life worthwhile.

This code demonstrates a little of what can be done with automation. It opens Word and allows you to create documents, write text, print etc. Unlike DDE the VB program is totally in control of the application and it's functions. Automation can be used to control most modern Microsoft Office products (Outlook/Excel/Access even VB!) and can make a real difference to your application. If anyone wants to see how to send Email / Create Contacts in Outlook, let me know as I have something prepared. As usual, I've left the comments in so that you can see what I'm doing. How to link an Automation object into your project: Project > references > Automation (example:Word 8)

Get rid of that design time syntax error message box.

Cut and Paste code... Turns your flat form into a metalic cylinder. Setting the AutoRedraw property is now done for you. Also thanks to Sebastjan for his tip about setting the ScaleMode to pixels.

Now you can put any front-end onto Outlook. This work-in-progress gives everything you need to know about enumerating Outlook items (as I receive so many enquiries). Utilizaing the techniques shown here you should be able to integrate Outlook information into any application.

This program connects to the telnet port of a remote machine, logs on and can be used to perform commands remotely. It's also a great example of how to build and use a class module. The class is built as an ActiveX DLL and linked into the test project using the _references_ item in the project menu. This is like making an ActiveX control but without all the overhead. The code is full of rem statements so that you can understand exactly what is happenning. It really couldn't be simpler.

Once upon a time a wrote a telnet client... Why ? Because I needed to control some UNIX functions from a windows frontend... I couldn't help thinking how messy it was and that they're had to be an easier way... Well, there is!!! Most UNIX machines have a daemon called rexecd which allows you to do a quick logon and run a command, capturing the output (exactly all that I needed)... I searched high and low for the protocol; SUN, astalavista, HP but to no avail... Eventually, I decided to stop looking and do a hack job but, miraculously, I stumbled accross the protocol in the man pages of our HP-UX system!!!! It's actually piss easy!!!! You just send a port, a login, a password and a command... No messy transactions like the horrble telnet program I wrote... It really couldn't be simpler... You'll need access to a UNIX / LINUX machine to try this out (I tried it on HP-UX 11.00 but I expect that it's pretty standard). Now, even though everybody flames me, I'm sharing it with you.

Everything you ever wanted to know about skins but were afraid to ask. Resize borderless controls without any work. Fabulous Metal skins and custom buttons with rounded corners. Move the form around with the mouse. Practical examples of SetWindowLong, SendMessage, SetWindowRgn. It's all here!!! Just Download the code and open the .vbg project group.

Just look at the screenshot then vote excellent! Never more will you need to borrow skins... make your own in real time! This is the follow-up to the Metal Form which many of you asked for. If you're new to VB, you'll also find this a good example of what's needed to make an activex control.
