Example on how to send an SMS using a standard GSM mobile Phone using the PDU encoded telegram common to all GSM mobiles.
Introduction In this article I'll present the basics of lossless compression, also called text compression. This scheme, lz77, is very used because it's easy to implement and also it's fast. (if you improve it, of course) This is the second version of this article, if you've read the second version, you'll notice that is new version is bigger, in fact from 15k to 33k, more than twice, and its better than the first one. Also I recommend reading it, even if you've read the first version, because you'll learn even more. Even this new version is in html format. This is a second version corrected. (have a look at the date at the end)! You can download complete article of this lossless compression at http://www.dakila7forums.ne1.net/
An interesting and simple program to demonstrated how bot prevention pictures are made (like the vote one on this site ;-) ). Also included is a new feature that would further confuse any OCR program. I have included extensive comments to try and make it as clear as possible on what’s happening.
You can find all required OCX and DLL files in your own VB projects.
this code displays your uptime in tray and if you douebleclick on the icon a window appears with your uptime ;)
I havent seen a Outlineing text on PSC so i decided to make one i hope you find some use for it.. it really makes text look cool if you expiriment with it. Anyway comment or vote please!
You can only type numbers in this textbox. Make sure to make EXE file to see balloon tooltip.
I noticed an article recently posted about this. I am posting this because it is a much more efficient way to do it. Simple code so I am not expecting votes, but if you like it please feel free :)
This is a simple method of scrolling text in a rich text box without using it's scrollbar. I made it for a project of mine where I needed a textbox that was disabled but still could scroll. So I came up with this. I'm not expecting any votes but please vote or leave comments if you want to.
This is a simple 'working' progress bar with a very nice looking fade effect. It doesn't require any external DLL's, ActiveX, or API calls, so no having to tweak it to get it to work in your application! New version includes a module sub to activate and deactivate the screen, change the color programatically. It is now possible to pass any RGB color value as the primary color, change the fade rate, speed, number of elements. Also includes a control version as well.
Stores selected Winamp track info to the clipboard, for easy pasting into chatrooms, messengers etc
Didn't you always wanted to have an auto update form for your program? Well now you only have to insert frmUpdate to your project, edit to suit your need and you are done! Please read Readme.txt for instructions!!
I had way to much time tomyself so I made an invisable paint program u paint threw the form, this has probally been done countless times already, worth alook not much code.
Notepad 2003 is a remake of notepad, with a couple more functions. such as colors,insert name,insert windows version insert computer name etc.
This is a small sample to add multilanguage support to programs you developed. All the job is done in the module. For forms with lots of controls I prefer you modify the database and function to run 1 query for each language and let the program do it, 1 query for each control means slow program. Added : MsgBoxes, Grid Headers, Form Captions.
Do you like math and physics? If "Yes", then here is the program that you're looking for, but if "No", then you still have a chance to like this program if you like graphics or games programming. This program is an application for the elastic collision between two objects. In elastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved, and after collision, the final velocities get distributed based on the masses and initial velocities of the two objects. This program is a good example of how to use math to move objects, detect collisions, draw graphs, and change objects sizes and positions. In this program, I made sure that all buttons get disabled during the movement except the Stop button, and I used the idea of global variables to exit the loop of action. One last thing, I think this program is kind of fun, especailly if you try different masses with different initial velocities. The graph also shows some intersting patterns of movements. I hope you'll learn something out of it... Good luck ...
I called this program the Smart Circle because it's really a smart circle. Why? I tell you why. Imagine that you are lost in a desert, and you're looking for a way out. How are you going to find the pathway? You'll look around you (in circles)until you see the pathway. If you don't see anything, you may go to a higher place( assume there is a high place in the dessert) so that you can see further ( bigger circle ). The higher you go up, the further you can see. When you see the pathway, you'll move immediately in that direction until you reach the pathway. I'm sure you would like to move in straight line in that pathway, but how about if it's not straight, what are you going to do? You'll look right and left until you see the right direction in the path and go on. Isn't it crazy if you go back and forth in the same path so you don't move from your first point? I guess it is. So you have to move in one direction along the path. If you do all of that, I consider you a normal person, that's exactly what our Red Smart Circle is doing in this program. It uses the Sine and Cosine functions to find it's way. I made many comments in the code, so I hope it'll be easy for you to understand ... Good luck .
This code allows you to adjust the size of a circle. It also lets you draw on screen, place circles anywhere, and drag circles in full screen with your mouse. This is PUR VB code. No DirectX or OpenGL used. It is mainly for beginners to show them how to do this stuff and plus i wrote it when I was bored too lol. If you like the code then please leave comments and vote for me. Thanks! :)
very very basic notepad for vb beginners...updated the coding and add some new things..sorry about the gui it suks but this is for learning exp.
FULLY COMMENTED TUTORIAL ON PROCESS DETECTION USING THE PROCESSFIRST, PROCESSNEXT, AND CREATETOOLHELP API'S. Ok here is the deal, I spent alot of time trying to figure out how to find a process, parse out the exe file name and it's process id to use for process memory manipulation. However, there were no eazy to read tutorials that could make me understand how the api's worked. After figuring everything out, I thought I should make a fully commented source for others who may end up stuck in my shoes. I hope you enjoy. The sub is the easier to understand than all on psc thus far.
