DLL which starts-up with VB and is inserted in the Add-In menu. When run it will close all Open Code and Designer windows from the screen (they are only closed from view, not removed from your project). Quite handy if you like all your windows shut before saving which will speed the time it takes to re-load your project next time around. Modify it to do what you like - this should get you started.

Add the Internet Explorer 4 AutoComplete effect to a common combo box

This method removes all duplicates in a listbox, regardless if sorting is turned on or not. AND it's fast, short and simple (no double loops like in some other submissions). It's also case-insensitive.

Use this method to avoid adding an item to a ListBox that already exists. It's a lot faster and shorter than submissions that uses loops etc.

For those of you that have checked out my other attempt at Matrix style text, this is the new version 3. The code has been optimized, while still not using any API calls or advanced functions. I'm trying to push the speed of the algorithm as much as I can using only "core" VB code. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it any faster, please leave a comment! And don't forget to vote if you like what you see!

After seeing an attempt to display text 'Matrix' style, I figured I would upload an attempt I made at it a little while ago for fun.

This is probably the first NetZero alteration made for v3.1.2 considering they only came out with it yesterday morning. It basically removes the NetZero banners, but also replaces the logon screen. I put a lot of work into the code and would appreciate votes and/or comments. I really don't want there to be arguments in the feedback section over how this effects NetZero, so for anybody who is going to post a reply please just let the comments be about the code. *Now with disconnect button *It now takes away the 40 hour time limmit!

This Add-In provides an easy way for your project to adopt the XP theme. Two components are added to your project (standard module and a resource file) and once compiled your project will adopt the XP theme (on XP OS only) without the external manifest file. Once this add-in is built it's a piece of cake for anyone, even a novice, to create a project displaying the XP theme. Although there are many examples on this subject, this is a unique way to add the necessary components to a project.

This is just a little joke a friend gave me.

This code is the primary module of Calculation Solver, a compiler-based string evaluation program. This module can be called in one simple line which evaluates and returns the result. Feel free to use it in your programs (just remember to give credit where credit is due). Full syntax description and sample program is included as well.

This program goes to the atomic clock at time.gov and gets the time. It then converts the time to your local time. The set clock button sets your system clock to the atomic clock. PS: does not work in all time zones, PSS: please e-mail me any sugestions on how to improve. Thank You

Lately I've seen some posts for editing ini files that involve opening the ini file directly as a text file, looping line by line thru the file until locating the line desired and then altering that line. There is a much easier and more reliable way using the Windows API. This class module makes that easy. It also shows the proper way to handle errors that happen in a class module by raising custom error codes to be handled by the application that using using the class.

C2VB parses through C style declarations of functions, structures etc and creates the VB equivalent. I decided to create this little program to make my life easier when working with APIs. Instead of having to "translate" an API declaration from the Platform SDK help file, I wanted a way to do that automatically. This is the result. All you have to do, is copy paste the declaration from the help file. Apart from being a handy app. it demonstrates how to parse instructions, how to implement a rudimentary splitter and above all, it explains what do all those wierd things mean in C! It can process either user inputted instructions or it can read from a file. Optionally, a filename can be passed on the command line. If you have any comments or disagree with the way I converted the datatypes, let me know.

Demonstrates OwnerDraw combo boxes in VB. Gives a few examples of the sort of items you may wish to draw. Particularly useful for art/drawing apps.
