This simple code will teach you how to create a graphical progress bar. You'll see how to use classical progressbar, some maths (angle conversions), you'll use PSet functions. Nothing really hard, but it could help soem people arounde here. The code is a bit messy, but you should be able to understand it quite easily. It was written in 2000 and revised for PSC. What's the interest? This is up to you to figure it out. I wanted to do this after seing Fix-it utilities progress bar. Have fun.

The previous submitted code concerning the graphical Circular ProgressBar, has turned into an OCX. Just try it, and report the bugs or strange behaviour. Your comments concerning some upgrades are also welcome. There's a test project included. A part of this of this test may show you how to use the OCX while writing files (some asked for it, so here it is). The pictures can easily be changed, the size is free (jpg, gif or bmp files allowed). The main functions are commented in the test project. Let's try and report.

Tired of seeking through your hard rives to find Access databases, to compact them and gain some free space? Then this tool could help you. Basically it parses all the directories and sub-directories of a given hard drive unit, and tries to find Access Databases. When this operation is done, you can repair or compact them. I gained on one of my HD unit over 6Gb of data. What you need to make this project work: vbalSGrid6.ocx and ssubtmr6.dll fro vbAccelerator. These files should be in the libs directory. If ever they had been removed then, just go to this url: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Controls/S_Grid_2/S_Grid_2/VB6_SGrid_2_Binary.asp 1- Open a blank project. 2- Goto to project -> references and select ssubtmr6.dll, it should register it for you. 3- Open your the test project (an error should appear), then goto project, components, and select the vbalSGrid6.ocx 4- close the test project. 5- restart it it should be ok. You'll also need Microsoft DAO 3.51 or 3.6 (depending on the Access version installed on your computer). Generally 3.51 works well with Ms Office 97 databases 3.6 or above should suit best to newer versions of Access. I'm currently using Ms Office PRO 97, and thus for referenced DAO 3.51. If you have troubles or do not understand how to make this thing work, don't hesitate to send me an email.

I saw recently there was a buzz concerning digital clocks. I decided to provide two different types of clocks. One fake digital (but nice looking, in my opinion), so don't expect coding exploits, and a circular analog clock. This one is a bit tricky, and the code is commented. A good base to start when willing to generate cosine and sine tables (ie: can be usefull if you want to code 3D apps). This code could have been set in intermediate, but due to some tricky routines... well you see. Nothing mind blasting but a funny couple of hours to bring those to life.

I guess most of you won't see any interest in this submission. But I had to face this problem on a project and found nothing corresponding to my needs. I found a few OCX that could have answered my needs but I don't wanna pay more than 1000$ just for 1 function. This one lets you open an enhanced metafile (EMF only, didn't write it for wmf) and pick the objects' colours. Then select a replacement colour and display the results. You'll be able to save the result as an EMF file. Use i.e. Adobe Illustrator to see that all your objects are still effective, only the colours changed. This could also be a start for modifying the objects positions, forms,... on the fly. This code is definitly simple,and answers to my needs. A description on how to use it can be found in the form comments. Luckily it helps you :-)
