To access the info tips in this project simply left click on the large textbox to the right (text1) which brings up a small menu..select "show help tips"

THIS PROGRAM IS A VB ADDIN THAT SIMPLIFIES AND QUICKENS THE PROCESS OF INSERTING API DECLARATIONS AS WELL AS THEIR ASSOCIATED CONSTANTS AND TYPES IN YOUR PROJECT. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: 1) FOR API DECLARATION INSERTION: type out the api call i.e "setwindowpos" (without the quotes) select or highlight the call with your mouse cursor, and with the left button still pressed down hit the "a" key on the keyboard. 2) FOR CONSTANTS INSERTION (a) if you know the constants you want type out the first 3 letters ( or more) of the constant(s) you wish to insert. For example..say you've just inserted the api call "DrawText" which requires at least on of the constants prefixed with "DT_ i.e "DT_LEFT or "DT_SINGLELINE" Type out "dt_" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse and with the left button still down hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list (b) If your unsure of the constants you want with the left mouse button pressed anywhere in the code window hit the "c" key select the constants you desire from the alphabetical list 3) FOR TYPE INSERTION (a) if you know the type you desire type out the entire types name i.e. "pointapi" (without the quotes) select it with your mouse, with the left button still down hit the "t" key, confirm your selection (b) if your usure of the constants you desire with the left mouse button depressed anywhere in the code window, hit the "t" key. The entire list of constants is displayed in alphabetical order. Make your selection(s)

How you can access all the properties, methods, and events of the html object libray/webbrowser control with using any webbrowser or winsock or inet control. Most people believe that in order to use these objects you have to load some sort of browser object into memory..which has always been problem for me since i know that IE has a lot of security holes. the secret basically lies in one method of the HTMLobject library. it is the ".CreateDocumentFromURl" method It goes something like this

This is a webclass that makes it super easy for you to access the document object, the document.body object, all of the links, image, input elements, and table cells for a web page.

Please vote because my Im not strong enouph to pick my head up off the sand and put it back on my body but if i get a lot of good votes that will inspire me a little

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

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

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."

This is an application I put together that goes on the web and downloads and lists the links to thousands of vb related software and more. Not all the items are free but enouph are that you ll be busy "unwrapping" your new christmas presents for weeks to come!!

This is a unique way of implementing tooltips in your project that allows you to totally customize each individual tooltip for each individual control in your project. in addition, the tooltip can recieve a mousedown event just like the tooltips in planets tooltips

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.

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
