This short code enables you to make your application insert itself into the user's Startup menu, if it's not already there, so that it will run every time they start up their computer. Now works with WinNT and Win2000

If you have a nokia mobile phone and looked at ring tones you will have come across RTTTL, the text format for the tunes. This is a stand alone module with one public function PlayRTTTL. You give it a tune as a string in RTTTL format and it plays it using beeps. Note that this only works on NT as the Beep function is different on windows. If you are wondering what it could be used for, here is an example, at work we have written a phone book system for staff extension numbers and when you click on an entry you see details about the person and a picture. I wanted to let staff also give themselves a theme song that would play when you clicked on them. Since there are hundreds of RTTTL tunes available on the internet I decided to use that format as it is easily edited by users and saved to the database, and users can add new ones whenever they like. The code could have been written better, but I wanted to keep it in a self contained single module that you could plug and play into any project. This has nothing to do with Nokia mobile phones, it just uses the same format for the tunes. If you have not seen them, this is an example of the format: Simpsons:d=4,o=5,b=160:c.6,e6,f#6,8a6,g.6,e6,c6,8a,8f#, 8f#,8f#,2g,8p,8p,8f#,8f#,8f#,8g,a#.,8c6,8c6,8c6,c6 The Simpsons are probably copyrighted so don't use that one at home kids :)

Here is the Updated version of my ooriginal submission Lan Chat 32 *Complete* With updates such as Compact View, IP list, Better GUI, Listen on Load, and others. I am currently working on adding Bold, Italic and Underlined text as well as being able to send colors and a multiple connection interface. (Removed last submission, upped the wrong zip file)

Lan Chat 32 is designed to chat with another computer directly. No sever needed! Client/Host in the same program. All you need is the Host computer IP, your IP is shown on the form. Upped by request, Full source and working pprogram included! (Again, this is not originally my code! I Just made it ALOT better than the original. Original submitted by Arthur Chaparyan)

Simply sorts a 1 dimensional array using a bubble sort algorythm.

Various ports of the MD5 RSA Reference Implementation. This includes a VB Native Class, a C DLL (with VB wrapper), and a Java port. The MD5 algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. It is intended for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem such as RSA. For more information about this algorithm, see the following: http://www.w3.org/PICS/DSig/RSA-MD5_1_0.html http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html

If you have to add your username or initals tag to each change you make in code, this lets you select a block of text and add it to the end of each line.

This code finds if any key pressed. This will be helpfull for example you're programming a screensaver. But you can not get keypresses through forms because of some components which does not support this keypress event. So you must use some API's to do this.

And one things is fixed, in the updated version I put a removing of the all zeros in the hex, now fixed... :-)

This tutorial will learn you how to combine HTML Help with VB, so your applications can easily have functions like "Whats this help" and "context sensitive help". This tutorial is fully illustrated, (17 images), everything done nicely step by step. VB6 is REQUIRED. This will not work with older versions.
