This is a wonderful subclassing .dll for anyone but particulary the beginner or intermediate programmer or anyone who doesn quite have a full handle on subclassing but still wants to be able to use the awesome Free power of it. This class is extremely simple and straightforward to use and contains 2 properties and 2 methods and 2 events and has a small help file as well. This subclassing project also allows you to not only intercept, but choose to discard or keep the message. A very simple example is given to show you the awesome potential and power subclassing has.

This a thoroughly comment..easy to understand, and , yet, amazing example of the power the HTML object library has. This particular example with show you how you can find, and hilight (any color you wish) words in a web page

This is a flash button simulation in that when the mouse enters the button the caption flashes several times. In terms of the actual number of lines of code needed for this button it is quite thrifty which should mean a totally error free and processor easy button. I call it black beauty. Once again feedback to motivate me for improvement is highly desired.

Whether your new to api programming and need that special tutorial "buddy" by your side or your an API pro and just are sick of the hassles of having to find, copy, and paste api declarations and their associated constants and types, then this program is for you. (also included with this download is my "RAM purge" program that allows you to instantly reclaim wasted ram) This program sits, as a tiny 20 pixel high menu strip on your desktop. You can place it at the very top of your screen or the very bottom, or anywhere in between..its never in the way because it is so small. This program, the VB API code assistant is basically a huge repository of the most commonly used and needed code, just a mouse click away. One click of a button and a procedure header is pasted in your project for you. Another click and the skeleton of an entire select case structure is pasted for you. Want to move a window without a titlebar but forget get how??..one mouse click away. The program also contains well over 100 of the most common api calls along with their constants and type. This program is similair to the well know API-guide..but it takes it to the next level. The screenshot shows all of the menus built into this tiny, thin interface.

yea yea I know..there are around a million messageboxes on planet. But i was building this one for my app and Im really partial to it and here is why. This does the same things the windows message box does but (1) you can have any size or type picture you want, and specify a transparent color (2) this message box will self close after any number of predefined seconds you specify (If the message box requires a response..ie YesNo messagebox this feature is disabled for obvious reasons) (3)This messagebox self centers vertically and horizontally in relation to its calling form. (4)This message box also responds to the shortcut keys so it can be interacted with the keyboard OR the mouse. Take a look...i think you will like it now.

This is a google search application that places all of google search refinement and power searching options in one simple interface. Auto highlighting of the search words makes finding the pages of the most likely match, of your desired search, a simple snap. whether you want 10 results per page or 100, adult filtering or not, narrow your search down to a specific file type, make sure the results DONT include certain words...this program is for you

A superior, in many ways, messagebox. Based on my yesterday submission with improvements. It is in the form of an activeX (usercontrol) now and has 6 differents "skins" (red/candy/blue/orange/yellow/silver) has an option of showing the message with no buttons and self closing as fast as you specify...and you can have a picture, any type, any size. This really makes microsoft messagebox look flat and boring.

This is a control that displays animated gif images. The control, and its associated animated gif are totally resizable.

If you havent heard about it..the api assistant is your api best friend. The api assistant is a thin, unobtrussive strip that sits at the very top or very bottom of your screen (a full 22 pixels high). It is a library of close to 200 of the most common api calls. Here is how it works. Your working on your project..you realize you need the api call "SetWindowPos" Just click on that item (everthing in the api assistant is alphabetized for fast access), click back on your project and the api call is instantly pasted into your project..followed immediately by a window that contains all of the constants or types that that api call would need. Its a huge time saver. Other time saving features of the api assistant also include the skeleton coding of all the most common vb calls. for instance..click the vb functions menu item "select case", an input box asks you how many cases you want..you enter 4...click in your project and instantly a 4 case select case skeleton structure is typed into your project where you clicked. the VB API assistant also has a small, but, evergrowing menu list of functions to also assist you. And just in case this program doesnt give you a specific api solution for you, there is a menu of other api resources for you as well. sorry for the large screenshot movie (2mb) but i felt it was necessarry to communicate what the program does..you know..a picture and a thousand words

This is a neat and useful idea i came up with for a form skin. When offering freeware or trialware to your users this could be a useful technique. the skin causes a message, that you specify, to follow the mouse around on your form. There is also a built in "FormOnTop" property as well

A clock usercontrol. It doesnt get any easier (for you) than this. After downloading now, read the breif readme.txt for correct usage

A simple text effect control that is best described as black background with falling green letters that reveal a message. The controls [MatrixText] property lets you control what the message is that is revealed..nice splash sceen effect

LittleButton.ocx is a one of a kind button that is actually many buttons in one. Instantly creates and array of buttons(up to 20 elements). The buttons can be arranged vertically or horizontally (menu style) Just about every visual aspect of the control is totally customizable from the caption style(flat, embossed, shadow, raised) to the mouse over hilite color, and more than 2 dozen additional properties. One look at the screensh0t will convince you of just how much time and work was put into this.

a replacement for the standard line control. creates a line that looks more like the line that makes up the edge of the frame control (screenshot) there are 3 types, (single,double, triple) and 2 different types (embossed, raised). Not a huge or fancy control but will save you about 4 or 5 lines of code, without having to think too hard. with there control there is no coding whatsoever..like the standard line control..just drop and position and your done

This is my ListGrid control..so called because it basically merges the functionality of a listbox with a listgrid control. Some of its appealing features are (1) with a short, simple call you can get or set the text of a specified "cell" in the list (2) you create attractive header (2 possible styles) with as many columns as you wish. (3) clicking any of the columns headers cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order (alphabetically) just like in outlook or kazaa (4) There is a property call .highest_index which makes for slightly easier looping...for example with the listbox or any of ms controls..there is a property such as the listcount so if you want to loop through the list you go> for i = 0 to list1.listcount -1 the .highest_index property already takes that into account so now you just loop by>> for i = 0 to listGrid1.highest_index. The listcount is still available to you as well if you prefer that, (5) your can set the font/forecolor/backcolor, individually for both the header and the list itself. If you prefer the lightweightness (not a real word i dont think) of the listbox, and used the settabs api to try to increase the functionality of the listbox but felt like you wish you could take the improvements many steps further than that then you will love this control. Suggestions for improvement will be implemented so suggest away.

you know how it can be difficult to resize the height of the listbox because it only allows you to reset its height + or - a full font height and not in incerments inbetween ? Well this little tip I found out purely by accident.

This extends the functionality of the listbox by (1) allowing you to create an attractive header with 3 styles ( sunken, framed, raised) (2) specify a header backcolor, forecolor and font.. as well as the fore and backcolor and font of the list portion of the control. The best part of this control is that is specifically designed to be a listbox with tabstops AND you can retrieve AND set data in the list based upon a row and column setting...so all the dirty working of juggling text data is taken care of. This is something i whipped together in a couple of hours so its not totally complete..but its pretty much there..and I am hoping to get suggestions from you on how to enhance and refine it..but I am pretty sure you will like and appreciate it!!

This is a simple addin that can help you examine the exact flow of your code. It copies each line of code as it executes...then you can save this as a text file and examine to detect potential weaknesses or bottlenecks your program may have
