*UPDATED* New URL: http://www.planet-source-code.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.15030/lngWId.1/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm This is a VERY cool app. It adds a button to the windows default buttons for forms (X, Max/Restore, Minimize) for Minimize to System Tray. This is a fully working version tested in WinNT (2K) and Win98. Please comment on any bugs Apart from: 'Some windows stay on task bar' - I'm fixing that at the moment.. (note, you can send upto 999 apps to the system tray.. I wouldn't try it though..)

This app creates a new button (top right) for each window. This button if clicked on sends the app and all it's threads to the system tray with the correct icon. If you right click on the button, a list of already minimized apps comes up and you can select one and it will be removed from the tray and back to normal (or you can click on the system tray.. either way). If you use it for a day or so, you won't be able to stop using it. Although it is a bit hard to get used to. *UPDATES Since 1.0* ==================== - Multi-thread Windows now supported (ie VB6) - Added 'Balloon' Support for Win2000 users - Added Options Form (not much of an options form though) - Made much better about form - Removed many bugs (thanks for bug reports) - Zip file includes all files (sorry, had files in 2 folders for some reason) * Please leave comments on bug reports if any as I really want to make this app bug free. *

This basicly tries to find the small icon for a window (the icon on the top left). Note: it returns the HANDLE to the icon, good for using in API calls. Also, I have looked around and there is NOTHING about this posted anywhere. That is why I'm posting it. (this is part of my current app...)

This is a *baisc* sample of how to use the PostMessage API calls (same as SendMessage) to send text to a Textbox (or any hWnd actually). Note: I tracked down the 3 WM_ messages through SPY++ and Notepad. Differnt applications may require more/less WM_ messages. A VB Textbox only needs WM_KEYDOWN but I added the other code incase. =].. Sorry about the cheap Variable names, this was programmed at 5am :)

This shows how to use the Microsoft OCX file NTSVC.OCX to use Visual Basic as a Windows NT Service (NT4/NT2000 or HIGHER). (OCX file included)

This is a fully functional (well, upload doen't work very well and is disabled) FTP server designed for L.A.Ns (ie no username/password.. Anon users only). It is extreemly easy to use (i think so anyway) and uses Winsock DLL only. There is a bit to be done on it but I only really made it to learn Winsock DLL. So take it, cut it up, whatever just don't sell it at all. This is freeware.. keep it that way. - UPDATED: All files now here =]

Simple code + explaination of why popup menus don't disapear like most app's menus when called from the system tray. Very hard problem, very simple answer. (this has no minimize to system tray code in it)

This isn't a task manager clone, but it does show all the information from the Processes window (well, process id, session id, user id, process name). I didn't actually code 90% of this so please don't vote for it, I just added the username lookup routine.. This code is from microsoft's msdn collection which i stumbled on in my journies. The main benifit of this to me is to enumerate the users currently logged on to a Windows 2000/XP machine. And specificly to find the active username if you are logged on as a service.. but that's another story. (ps I don't use this to find that out but this is what I found while looking for that).. Code is not to complex, apart from a few pointers.

Very basic ftp download & upload functions dropped into a vb control for ease of use. Note: has framework for a much more complex control however only basic uploading + downloading implimented. Quite handy for adding quick ftp intergration into any smallish app, wouldn't use it to download large files though.

First off, This is my *FIRST* OCX file.. So don't laugh too much.. You can have a back image, change fore/back color Bar can go: Up>Down, Down>Up, Left>Right, right>Left You can set a caption: ie Loading.. (51%) instead of 51% You can show or hide the % (ie standard Percent bar or most install's percentage bar)

This code uses the SystemParametersInfo API to change the work space area of the desktop. You can make you app 'lock' to either top/bottom/left or right of the screen very simply.
