This is my first try at creating windows controls. It is an Information bar (Similar to the one used on IE in the new Windows XP SP2). This is a new way, that Microsoft seems to be trying, of showing messages to the user that is not as intrusive as the me message box. Code improvements are welcome. Please leave any options, comments, suggestions rant, etc. ------------------------------------------------ Update: I added support for animation and automatic close out thru the use of properties and custom Showing and Hiding methods.

This example will create simple context menus without using contextmenu control.

Subclassing the .NET Treeview, Listbox and Combobox controls - Here are two completly functional sample Visual Basic .NET projects which demonstrate the rather simple but extremely powerful technique of subclassing the TreeView, ComboBox, or ListBox, such that you can store additional custom information behind (or inside) each individual Tree Node, Listbox Item or Combobox Item as you desire. There is no logical limit to the amount of additional information which can be stored alongside each individual node or item.

A .NET icon control that behaves similarly to a Windows Desktop icon. The icon can be dragged around its container at runtime.

Lots of people still not using the very powerful feature on Indexed controls (or control array) of .net frame work. Which was very frequently used by vb6 people |-) In .net even it’s possible to put different type of controls together. To understand it more closely please have a look to my C-Sharp sample. I hope it would be quite easy to understand and simple to implement.. Using this you will really fill the more power in your code. Looking forward for your experts inputs for the improvements Thanks! My last Article on Control Array with VB.Net is also available here http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=1303&lngWId=10

This assembly uses the TreeView control to present a powerful alternative to the old VB6 dirList and driveList controls. Code was taken from the MS web site; it took me ages to find this and thought you might find it as useful as I did.

I've made a tiny dato field control. It has a textbox and a little button next to it. The little button pops up a calendar, so you can pick your date with the mouse. It works fine. But it's a little annoying that I have to show the popup form before I can move it. It gives a little flicker that way. It would be great if anyone could solve this.

This will show you how to control any element of any form.

This code is just an example of how to use context menus in Windows Forms, using VB.NET. Hope this helps...

Updated code as suggested see comments section.(12/8/04) The next generation of Drive Control. Now offers standard main button that you control as a regular button, Still has drive ready on hover, use only the space that a regular button would use and has resizable button features. This version allows the 4 standard flatstyles of a regular button including the system flatstyle for those of you who use Xp Style. The drop down drive control automatically closes in 10 seconds, when a drive or the close drive buttons are selected. I would like to take a moment to thank those of you who took the time to vote and make suggestions on the first ButtonBar control which inspired me to take the control to a higher level. This control was made by Myself and John Harald Apeland as co-programmer. Enjoy the control, votes and or suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
