This control lets you have Office XP Style or Rendered Toolbar buttons (useful for skinning forms). The style can be switched dynamically if you like. See the 'SetButtonStyle' procedure on Form1 for details on using the control. The control includes Steve McMahon's excellent vbAccelerator Subclassing module, and some snippets picked up from Planet Source Code - thanks to all! Feel free to use and/or improve the control - comments and suggestions very welcome. Hope you find it useful!

This control is like Windows Task Manager performance scrollers. It's pretty simple, so the lack of comments :-( shouldn't be a problem. The main useful bit is bulding the scroller in a hidden picture box, and using bitblt to move it onto the UserControl (so we don't have to keep adding to the memory required for the display). There are a few properties for the colours and grid settings, and the whole thing's runtime resizeable (though I don't know why you'd want to do that). Feel free to use/modify/improve etc. this for your own stuff - hope you find it useful!

This program is for those of us who suffer from modem-based internet connections, and ISPs who cut the connection at intervals. The program sits in your system tray, and will monitor your dial-up connection. If it drops, the program will automatically dial your chosen connection, and re-establish your internet link (with an optional delay setting - to get round ISPs who allocate a low-speed line if you immediately re-connect). There are quite a few other programs like this on the site, but I didn't see any that did the job quite as simply as this. I hope you find it useful. Happy (slow) downloading!

This is a quick example of implementing an RSS Feed reader on a 'ticker' style message on your applications. The code's commented and easy to understand. You can do this easier in VS .NET (or by using a Marquee control in a WebBrowser), but I thought it might be neat (and useful) to do it in vanilla VB using the MSXML library.
