VB6 + XML using MSXML4

Randomly Generates Numbers.

This code seeks from the end of a byte array trying to find a matching text. Why? Well, handling byte arrays is much faster than handling strings. So, if you needed to parse data real fast and a lot, it would be benefical to do it using a byte array instead of a string. My starting point to this was rather simple: do the search faster than InStr and InStrRev. Beating the latter was easy: InStrRev isn't of the fastest build-in functions in VB. With InStr I had to taste half of a defeat: it just is superb when it can search in BinaryCompare. But, what if we wanted to do TextCompare? Well, there InBArr and InBArrRev beat real badly both InStr and InStrRev! Anyways, I hope somebody finds this submission helpful. I'm sorry I didn't comment the code as well as I could/should have, but I hope it doesn't matter as the code should be rather flawless on what it does :) Comments and votes welcome, as always!

If you want to use .chm help in your application, these functions may help. The three included here call help by contextid, open the search option, or show the table of contents. Paste these into a module and either set your applications help file to a valid .chm file or change the references in the functions to point wherever you want. Comments and suggestions welcomed.

Lets you hide and expand your window with a small icon that hides and expands your window, from the right side of the screen. So when you dont want the window, why bother with using the Minimize button? With this type of thing, it could serve as a nice tool to ALERT you of certain events. It will just slide out, instead of being minimized.

One very good Trojan Scanner

Demonstrates how to communicate between your applications by sending your own windows messages along with your own variable. Properly commented code. I couldn't find a similar program on PSC, so I thought I'd write this up. Hope someone finds this useful. The code includes 2 projects, 'a client' and a 'server'. Using the RegisterWindowMessage API the server creates a unique windows message, then through the FindWindow API it checks to see if the 'client' is running. If it is, it sends a message using SendMessageLong. The client is subclassed and adds any messages it detects to a listbox. The code is well commented, full explaining subclassing, the API's it uses and why, so even a notice should be able to understand all this.

This is a cool idea for credits for some of your programs. It is kind of like some movies you ,ay have seen. One text flys to one side and the other (at the other end) flys twoards the other side, but when the two texts come to align they slow down, but once they move back out of alignment the speed up again. Kind of confusing it sounds but it is rather easy i reccomend you just download to see for yourself. Thanks for checking it out.

Most of product today provide option to check for upgrades. One of way that can be standardized is explained.

I am very surprised to see the lack of information in the area of Graphical User Interface (GUI) Design on this web site. Here are some tips to get you seriously thinking about how people use your software.

This util will UDP Ping 254 IP's in under 3 seconds. Unlike TCP Pings which can take a minute or more. This util will scan a whole IP range quickly telling you which machines on the LAN or internet are alive. umm, since ocx's aren't allowed to be u/l i have had to delete the ocx fromt he zip. In the code just delete any reference to the ocx. The ocx is only a gif animation thing so isn't needed for this util to function. If you would like the full version then d/l at http://www.iamalive.0catch.com/VBstuff/vb.htm

This is a replacement for DOS shell, I'm still working on it. But it does all DOS commands, I just need to add some other stuff to it. This only works in win 2k or XP becuase of the transparent form.
