Yet another update. I have fixed the scrollbar display under WindowsXP. Here's an update to my Combobox control. I fixed the App activation issue, and added support for MDI & MDI child forms. Thanks for the support! Due to the lack in VB for a Multi-Column Combobox and the licensing issues with the Forms2.0 control, I've created my own. This control uses only the standard VB controls so there are no extra dependencies like many of the other Multi-Column comboboxes out there. It's simple to use and setup. It supports column widths, a finditem method that searches items by column, and hot-tracking. It also has the common ComboEdit & ComboList style. You can adjust the drop-down list height and width. The list will also display outside of the form border. The code for the control is not commented very well, but the demo does a pretty good job explaining how to use it. Many of the API & Subclassing base techniques used in the control are from vbAccelerator, & mvps.org/vbnet. Also, if you know of any ways to improve it, please let me know. I've tested MANY other Multi-Column comboboxes (free and the not so free) and I feel this control is a very good cross between graphical representation and useability providing the programer an easy interface and the end user a control that behaves like you would expect. If you feel that this control is worth the time & effort put into it, then please vote for it! If not, any suggestions on how I can make it better are greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is a simple generic wrapper class to quickly general ADODB Connection strings, including password protected files & shaped recordsets. I've only needed support for Jet & xbase files so that's all I've included. Please feel free to expand and post them as long as I get a copy of any changes.

This control creates a splitter bar with 2 resizable panels. The panels are adjustable by a specifying the size of the Child1 panel through the PanelSize property. It also includes minimum and maxmimum size parameters. It is well commented and also provides a demo application to explain all the options. I would also like to thank Mark Joyal for his great SplitterControl on which this is based. His control provides a way to resize based by a percentage, while mine provides a way to resize based on a size value. Since this is my first Active-X control, I would really appreciate your votes and any feedback you can provide.

This code will truncate specified text with ellipses. It is very usefull for displaying long strings in textboxes and title bars. It will even truncate a pathname similar to windows.
