:The tool submitted by Edwin Perez helps you test different color combinations that you can use anywhere you need a background with gradient.The dificulty with the GradientFill API is that it uses unsigned integers (unsupportrd by VB) for the color definition. I believe I found a way to resolve this problem using the RtlMoveMemory API. This solution is simple and easy to understand/implement.More details in Readme file. I also tried to streamline/optimise the code by using arrays, so there is not much left from the original code. There's no need for votes.
There are other ways than passwords to restrict access to applications. The method I present here is suited for personal and limited public use. You'll see what I mean when you try out the basic method and two alternatives, all nicely packaged in a well commented appliction. But these are just examples. Use your creativity and create your own "protection"-scenario's.
CTRL+ALT+DE can be used in WinXP to invoke the task manager. But non bonafide software companies include a disable of this feature to prevent users from terminating their hidden adware/spyware. I know because they 'got' me! It took me hours to discover he trick. An exclusive for the PSC community in return for all the goodies I received. A special thanks for Evan Toder who informed us of tools that helped me solve the riddle. UPDATED (tip of Roger Gilchrist)

Don't do it. You will feel sorry. Nothing will happen to your computer. Oh no, I'm not that mean. But your pride may take a knock or two. So, don't get angry. Don't press the big red button. I warned you. JUST DON'T DO IT!! (Zip 21 KB)
This usercontrol uses by default the system's Regional settings, but you can change these values to suit your needs. This usercontrol comes with a nice demo program allowing you to experiment. Extensively documented. In my view a must for those interested in local settings but who never investigated the issue or got discouraged by the documentation ;) Inspired by PSC submission: Euro / Dollar input box without the use of Maskedit by Coder86 (ID 61011).

I needed to convert a bitmap to an icon without having to save it to a file. Just getting a handle to the icon was sufficient, and fncMakeIcon does it. A second function fncConvertIconToPic converts an icon handle to an (almost) picture. I used it to check the good working of fncMakeIcon. And once it is in a picture box it can be easily saved to a file of course. (ZIP 5K). NEW UPLOAD

Paul's Color Picker uses an innovative approach to the color selection process. The starting point is the RGB color model. First a color pair is selected and this color combination is presented in a 17x17 matrix with the colors shown with 16 units increments. Beneath the matrix is a slider allowing variations of the third color. To further refine the search the increments can be modified down to 1 unit. Other features and credits: see code comments. Paul Turcksin Zip 39KB. Version 1.2: Implemented Rob C's suggestion by giving the cursor the color the mouse is over.

Never again wake up your friends at an inappropriate moment. World Times shows the time of any part of the world on a graphical time bar, and does so by taking into account the daylight savings of each particular zone. The local time (i.e. the time setting of your PC) is always shown, and you can select up to 4 other time zones to be displayed. Plenty of other features. Well commented code. Info form, credits. My end of year gift for all of you. 73 KB (Paul Turcksin)
