Log-in forms of the systems I've seen are so monotonous so I have made this innovation, take a look!

This code is to control your Remote control car over the internet through the parallel port more pictures you can find here http://basicrobotics.net/carcontrol.html

This simple code will teach you how to create a graphical progress bar. You'll see how to use classical progressbar, some maths (angle conversions), you'll use PSet functions. Nothing really hard, but it could help soem people arounde here. The code is a bit messy, but you should be able to understand it quite easily. It was written in 2000 and revised for PSC. What's the interest? This is up to you to figure it out. I wanted to do this after seing Fix-it utilities progress bar. Have fun.

The previous submitted code concerning the graphical Circular ProgressBar, has turned into an OCX. Just try it, and report the bugs or strange behaviour. Your comments concerning some upgrades are also welcome. There's a test project included. A part of this of this test may show you how to use the OCX while writing files (some asked for it, so here it is). The pictures can easily be changed, the size is free (jpg, gif or bmp files allowed). The main functions are commented in the test project. Let's try and report.

I saw recently there was a buzz concerning digital clocks. I decided to provide two different types of clocks. One fake digital (but nice looking, in my opinion), so don't expect coding exploits, and a circular analog clock. This one is a bit tricky, and the code is commented. A good base to start when willing to generate cosine and sine tables (ie: can be usefull if you want to code 3D apps). This code could have been set in intermediate, but due to some tricky routines... well you see. Nothing mind blasting but a funny couple of hours to bring those to life.

I guess most of you won't see any interest in this submission. But I had to face this problem on a project and found nothing corresponding to my needs. I found a few OCX that could have answered my needs but I don't wanna pay more than 1000$ just for 1 function. This one lets you open an enhanced metafile (EMF only, didn't write it for wmf) and pick the objects' colours. Then select a replacement colour and display the results. You'll be able to save the result as an EMF file. Use i.e. Adobe Illustrator to see that all your objects are still effective, only the colours changed. This could also be a start for modifying the objects positions, forms,... on the fly. This code is definitly simple,and answers to my needs. A description on how to use it can be found in the form comments. Luckily it helps you :-)

basically this is a quick function to show you how to set or get the position of your mouse cursor.

This code is for killing a process. included is the code to hard code process killing into your application

Make Nice Gui with Web Browser control with Help of MSHTML and res protocol..

This code shows how to display the msgbox icons on your form. No Icons to include in your project, no picture controls, only API. UPDATED 12/22/06 - Simplified the little bit of code that was there and added an additional icon. If you like, please vote. Thanks!

I am just a beginner myself, and this is my first submission, so don't bother voting for this unless it really helped you. It's just a tutorial (if you will) of how to move multiple items from one listbox to another. Basically, I am a newbie, helping other newbies. Eventually, I plan on making this into a custom control or something that I can use in future applications, but I'm not ready to attack that yet. I tried putting as much comments as I could, so I hope that this helps atleast 1 person. Note: You'll notice that the code for the Add and Remove procedures are identical, other than the listbox names, so in a real world scenario, you'd probably only have one procedure for both, with 2 parameters, (fromList, toList).

This is the simplest way to make a translucent form. I actually got this code from someone else but I just extracted the required parts.

I was wondering if copying protected WMAs to an audio CD was legal, and if it was, how I would do it. The only way I found that works, is TuneBite (http://www.tunebite.com), however I would have to to pay for it. It seemed simple enough to remake in Visual Basic. It seems to me, that my program works just as well as TuneBite. It records sound directly from your sound card so any clicks, beeps, and other sounds will interfere with the recording. The GUI may not be so good but at least it works. I give full credit to whoever I got most of this code from. I removed the WAV to MP3 control since I wanted this code to be as simple as possible. Please give me a rating, give lots of feedback, and improvements! Also, for some reason many players can't play the saved wave files, so you'll have to find a converter that can convert it to a supported format. You can convert the wave files to MP3, simply by dragging your wave file directly into the lame.exe file. Please send me images to use for my GUI. KEEP GIVING ME RATINGS AND COMMENTS NO MATTER HOW LONG AGO I UPLOADED THIS!!!

YOU MUST TRY THIS NO MATTER WHAT! DON'T LEAVE UNTIL YOU DO! I NEED AS MUCH FEEDBACK AS POSSIBLE! Rate me, give as many comments as possible, give me improvements and complaints, and give the exact steps I need to improve some part of my project. This has anti-leech, default path, default listening port, directory listing, and others. Updated 6/14/05.

Scans your computer for registry errors and removes them. I don't know why but the last time I tried to improve Registry Duster 1.0, everyone told me that it didn't work. I tried backtracking to see what was wrong. I'm not sure if I fixed the problems, but it works for me. I'm not done finished with this project yet, so I need as many improvements and fixes as possible. KEEP GIVING ME RATINGS, IMPROVEMENTS, AND COMMENTS NO MATTER HOW LONG I HAVE HAD THIS PROJECT UPLOADED!

This program monitors registry changes and changes them back if they're changed. Give me lots of feedback! (Good or Bad) Give specific reasons and how to improve it if it's bad. There is also a better way of monitoring the registry by someone else at http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=2229.

I'm not sure sure if it's just my computer but, for some reason, my VB programs never stay on top of other windows all the time when I use the SetWindowPos API. This program still uses the SetWindowPos API but I added some stuff to make it work properly.

Simple way of going full-screen without using DirectX, if you know a better way please post it!

Have you ever wanted to add Alpha Icons to your Visual Basic Projects, but with the limitations of Visual Basic been unable? Well here's how to do it easily! PS. To use this you must first complie the project before you can see the Alpha Icons, they will not be visible at Design Time!!!

With the ever increasing use of user id's and passwords it gets harder for a user to remember these all. So why not just allow your applications to use a users PC Login Username and Password. I have attached a module that I found on Microsofts webpage while surfing the net for exactly that. I have placed a piece of code that shows how to use this module. I have used it in a Network Tools application I have written to verifiy the administrators or users username and password. It saves having different usernames and passwords for each application. A handy addition to any login screen.
