This will make a Form Transparent according to a Pixel of it's Picture. Be patient with me as I am learning how to code in C++. This code was ported from a project in VB by Chris Yates. However VB is horribly slow so I thought I'd make a Dll in C++ that did the same. Here's the result

With this little function you can LAUNCH ANY TYPE OF FILE that windows reconizes. This means that you can open any type of file that windows has the application for it. For example: You can run a file named "movie.rm" (RealPlayer fomat), but if you don't have Real Player installed, the function just won't do anything! No bugs at all!

OK folks, I've made a little progress. Here is the latest. This one has problems with any files but text files. If you put the first file in the pak as an executable, it extracts fine. But 2nd 3rd and so on, no way. This code is driving me crazy!!! A big thanks to Robert Carter for his help on getting me this far. Please keep your ideas a coming folks. I know a lot of people out there can use this if it can ever get finished and fixed. There are still bugs in the code. I don't have many error handlers in it yet. I want to get the basics of the code fixed first, then I'll go back and make this thing proper. This Code was fixed. Look for the AppenderPak by me. It is the same code as this but with fixes.

Getting back to the basics of using VB6 controls. Included in the project are, checkboxes, options, combobox, textbox, Scroll bars, File list, Dir list, and drive list. Very simple programming intended for beginners. Has an example of browsing for files without using common dialog control. Plus an example of using the ShellExecute api and 2 option dithered background. I hope the code is helpful to those that are new. I'm sure there are others like this on here.

Here is an INI File viewer using the Tree Node. Nice little screen shot of the proggie is available. Easy to learn how to use a tree node in your projects. Please leave me some comments on this. - I've updated this as a complete application. It's new name is IniEditor[TreeNode Style]. Uploaded 10/19/00.

Newly Updated with TREEVIEW added... check out the screenshot! Ever wanted to extract the info quickly from your Visual Basic Project file?

This code teaches how to parse a file and how to use common dialog. Enjoy!!

Quixotix Menu is a re-write of Derrick Blake's Owner-draw Cool Menus. The zip contains the code to create Windows XP-Style and Office97-Style menus (see screenshot).

Might not be very fitting for complexe ini manipulation, but this is the simplest and easy to use code i've found. Great for the newbie i am myself. It's not my code, and i don't know who it comes from, but i thought i'd share it. Included is a VERY easy to understand sample project ! Cheers, and enjoy :)

These different ways of using the shell command will let you : Launch files without knowing the associated program(doc,bmp,zip,etc), copy files and complete directories, run dos commands, launch a browser, launch an email client with almost all fields prefilled(including body!) and loads of stuff you might think of.

This code is VERY usefull! It can load a files contents into a Rich Text Box and also save the contents!

i'd imagine this has been done before, but if it has i haven't seen it. all it is is a substitute for the FileCopy statement. copies a file byte-for-byte to a new destination. 110% commented just like 'A+ Secure Delete' And 'A "Dummy" File Generator' (both by me). well hope you like this.
