This is a screen saver tutorial. I just explained a detail note on how to make screen saver using visual basic. You can make a real life nice screen saver application using visual basic. Just explained you everything. And also how to make flash work for you for your screen saver in VB. There are two examples with source code too. Please don't forget to vote for me or comment.
This is a nice crystal report tutorial...which guides u to use crystal report in Visual Basic..It's short...
I had a hard time finding info on SStabs and dynamicly loading controls onto specific tabs at runtime. After much trial and error i figured it out. and made this example to save others time. hope some one finds it useful. ( i dont norm post stuff. so no need to vote. also vb is not my native language. so. im sure this could have been done better ~cheers :-)
This is a full Text Fader Example allowing you to fade text by three (3) colors. It uses nine (9) scrollbars (3 for each color to fade by) allowing you to set the color of each of three (3) Color Labels. It has a great Fade Preview so you can see what the Faded Text looks like as you type it. It also has Bold, Italic, Underline and Strike Through options that can be changed real time (the Faded Text Preview updates as you change the options). There is also a very cool option that Dynamically updates the Faded Text Preview as you change or scroll any of the color scrollbars. If enabled, it allows you to change the colors dynamically and see what the Faded Text looks like instantly. It does, however, require a fairly fast PC with at least 256MBs of RAM. It doesn't slow down your PC or eat up memory, slower PCs just don't scroll the scrollbars smoothly and the RGB values jump in large increments instead of smoothly by 1 if the Dynamic Option is enabled. This is a perfect start for an AOL Chat Fader or any other type of Chat Fader.
After looking at all of the transparent form examples here on Planet Source Code, I decided to write my own. Every current example either makes everything on the form transparent or uses WAY TOO MUCH code. I wrote a very small example that uses 1 form and 1 line of code. It uses a Function that I believe was written by Robert Gainor. Gainor himself wrote an example that used 4 forms and 4 modules. That was just way too much. I reduced it to 1 form, 1 line of code and just a few Declarations and Constants. My example is extremely fast, extremely clean as well as the most simple on PSCode!
Please check "http://chad.offroadextremes.com/forums" for all my source code and projects. This is a very fast, very efficient RemoveDupes Function. Every single RemoveDupes Sub/Function I have ever seen on PSCode has been very slow and never removes all the duplicate list items. If the List/Combo contained more than one duplicate, only the first duplicate was removed. My Function, however, removes every single duplicate no matter how many there are. It also does it very quickly without going back through the list. It only sweeps through the list once. This is the fastest and most efficient way of removing dupes in VB. Also, I have added the options to remove all matches no matter the Case or if it has spaces or not, remove matches that only match exactly or any combination of matching options. As an added bonus, I wrote it as a Function to return the number of duplicates removed. You can call this Function like you would a sub for simplicity, or use anything to display the number of dupes removed. EXAMPLES: [1] Call RemoveDupes(List1, True, True) [2] Call MsgBox(RemoveDupes(List1, True, True)) [3] lngDupes& = Call RemoveDupes(List1, True, True)
[www.chadworkz.com] This is an example of how to get the cursor's X & Y positions, the form's X & Y positions, and the X & Y offset between the two. All positions are dynamic and change as you move the cursor and/or the form. The offset values are very valuable, especially for true "mouse-over" functions. The offset is the difference between the cursor's position on the screen and the cursor's position on the form. Trust me, this is something that everyone needs to learn and know...it can be extremely valuable.

Sick and tired of all those nay-saying C/C++ programmers who tell you that VB is weak because it doesn't have support for Pointers? Silence them by learning the dark art of pointers in VB. Ok, so that's a wee bit dramatised, but this article will help you work out how to use pointers in VB 5 and 6. -- Update 1 -- Modified the CSS styles to (hopefully) make it a little more readable on PSC -- Update 2 -- Changed the wording on one line a bit to make it easier to read (thanks go to José Pablo Ramírez Vargas for that suggestion)
This is a digital version of the well-known children's memory books. Here the parents can write their thoughts from pregnancy through the Childs childhood, insert pictures, sounds and video. There is a possibility to get a print of the various parts of life as well as a complete memory book included pictures. This version is a scaled down version of my commercial sold program, using VB6 components only (the commercial is using 3. parties components), and the source code is free for you to use as you want. Please observe I have used a VB5-component: DBGrid32.ocx, which you have to install if you haven't got it already (included in the zip-file). I have used some other programmers program snippet in my code and due credit is given in the frmAbout. Please do not waste time voting for this program, but feedback is very appreciated. Have a nice day
This program can decompile almost any exe made on Visual Basic Version 6.0 and find all forms inside. Then it tells you the names and captions of the forms.
Updated! Now you can view other information about a Visual Basic exe, like Version, Description, Copyright and much more. Also, most bugs fixed. (Note - even though this doesn't actually decompile any code, if may in the future versions).
While trying to decompile a vb exe, I made a program that decompiles dos exes and changes them back into asm. It can understand commands like, pop, push, mov, jmp, sub, add, inc, cmp, dec, and whole bunch more. It can also tell if you are decompiling a windows exe or a dos exe. This program also comes with file telling you how to make a dos program using asm in debug. Of course, it doesn't decompile absolutly every command, this is only a start for decompiling code.
Ever wanted to have an About property or a File Browser property for your custom made controls? This is how it can be done and it is very easy. Just compile my sample and add the control in any of your projects to see it working. Feel free to manipulate the code for your own needs.
This teaches how to use treeviews using databases (MS-Access). Uses ADO for connection. Also demonstrates small amount of SQL statements. All in one for real VB Beginners! This includes other treeview methods not discussed in other tutorials. Run the program to find out more! (this is just a part of an application that I am also about to upload). Dont forget to read the README.txt which is also in the zip file. tnx!
This program uses Api calls to get the current free physical memory, then both prints and shows you graphically the data. The project uses a borderless form so you can move it around with a simple mouse click.
Use VE API. Calling positions from database through .ashx file.
This is my first complete VB .NET program. It lets you set a time for an alarm to go off. You can even save a preset of the alarm time and minimize the program to the tray to let it run in the background. Most of it is pretty simple. I took the time to comment it all, so please take advantage of it! If you have any questions or comments go ahead and e-mail me at haawk@rogers.com with something relavent to this project in the subject.
