Installation Program which uses cabfile-compression, creates shortcuts and folders and looks quite good - just like InstallShield ! If you ever wanted to code something like InstallShield (only a liitle bit less complex), you can start with this code. Included in the ZIP File are 3 more ZIP-Files which contain the actual code and a TXT File which gives you some reports.
Registers or unregisters DLL and OCX Files, but DOES NOT REQUIRE the standard RegSvr32.exe from Microsoft. All done through API. Program has a GUI, but also works with CommandLine parameters. Specify only a filename, and the program attempts to register this file. Specify /u and a filename, and the program attempts to unregister this file. This is an update from something I posted 5 months ago, the only new thing is the commandline option. The program also allows you to add or remove itself to or from the shell, by adding itself to the registry (so you can right-click on a DLL/OCX-File and select Register or Unregister). A Vote is appreciated, but not necessary, comments are always welcome.
Correct Reference to Files in App.Path. For Newbies and for all who get Errors and don't know why. If you think this deserves a Vote, then do so, if not, then don't. I just wanted to explain a common error source !
Register/Unregister OCX/DLL Files without RegSvr32.exe, done entirely through API !!!
Simple Test for a quite easy RPG Engine. Now updated with a new collision detection. NOTE : CREDITS FOR THE NEW COLLISION DETECTION METHOD GOES TO CODING GENIUS, HE TOLD ME THAT (in fact he wrote it). Please tell me waht you think about it !
Have you ever had the problem, that, while you were surfing the net, suddenly, BLAAAM, a hacker (or friend, hello Martin ...) nuked you and remotely shutted dwon your computer ? Well, no more, since this little proggie intercepts the Shutdown-Message sent by Windows and sends a message back to Windows that it cannot shut down right now ! Uses Sub-Classing to intercept the WM_QUERYENDSESSION Message.
Iconnect as a highly cusomizable IP-Publisher; it can be used to: optimize remote-control connections (even via modem) to your computer, launch your webserver (or other programs) and shutdown your system after disconnect (if you want).
Shows how to control the Windows Media Encoder SDK through Code, not like the other submissions on this Site through a Batch-File or something like that. Encodes a given Video-File by using a Profile from the Windows Media Encoder which you choose (or you can also create an ew Profile through the Profile Manager). NOTE THAT THIS REQUIRES THE WINDOWS MEDIA ENCODER 9 TO BE INSTALLED !!! This can be downloaded from the Microsoft-Website ! Credits go to Steve McMahon for his Progressbar, and two people whose names i cannot remember, for the "Progressbar Remaining Time" - Module and the Common Dialog API, so if you recognize your code, please post in the comments so I can give you your well deserved Credit !
I was looking for some code to adjust the Monitor Refresh Rate for some time now, but I just found examples on how to change the Resolution and the Color-Depth, but not the Frequency alone. It took some time and some research, but I managed to do it by myself, and now I want to share it with you guys !

Yesterday, somebody submitted a Class for INI Files which got quite a positive response. So, I thought, I could throw in my 2 cents about INI Files with this one.
Shows the - in my opinion - easiest way how to properly save and load a complete treeview structure from a plain text-file. NOTE : The code uses 2 functions - GetBefore and GetAfter - which I got from this Site, but I cannot remember the name of the author. If the person who wrote these functions incidentally gets this code, please leave your name in the comments, mentioning that these are YOUR, NOT MINE.
