Ever wanted to see a picture behind flexgrid text (not a single cellpicture!)? This project is a little part of my custom grid control. Picture idea was given by a questioner Experts-Exchange site. Please let me know your ideas and let me know if you want to have a more flexible FlexGrid control code. Enjoy. Suat Ozgur

It just pops down a bar when you put the mouse at the top of the screen. it then detrects whether the mouse is still on the form, if it is not it hides the little bar.

This is just a short example of how to create and use control arrays

This code causes the form's TitleBar and the form's TaskBar Window to Flash.

This is a splitter control with 2 panes. I found the initial code out on the web somewhere, but it had a few bugs and was missing a few features I wanted, so I added the ability to colorize the splitter bar and the code now fires an event when the splitter is resized to allow for controls within controls to handle a resize. I also cleaned up the code and fixed a few bugs. BTW : You can add splitters within splitters to create more than just 2 panes.

This will show you how to Resize Control on a Form Regardless of how many controls there are Limitations are Menus cannot be resized along with controls such as CommonDialog.

Have you ever wanted to make your form's shape odd? Ok, there are several samples and programs around that can make your forms like a shape(circle, rounded box or something a little bit more complicated). But here is the example to make your form's shape to be ANY TEXT, in ANY FONT, in ANY SIZE and also any two colour's gradient. It's a really good example. Imagine you can shape the form not to be just plain text, but the shape of special fonts(such as Windings and Webdings). Just change the GetTextRgn function's variables(Font, Size, Text) and the variable Color1 and Color2. Easy. And the result is outstanding! You can also use the Chr$ function to add a text(this is useful for spec. chars).

Yes! A module that creates gradients! This BAS file will seperate a color into red, green, and blue with one sub, then create a gradient in another. This BAS allows horizontal, vertical, or circular gradients to be created for your VB projects easily! It also has a quality feature, if your gradient is particularly large. This BAS can write to any control that can be drawn on. No API! UPDATED!!! This code can now create a gradient in ANY SHAPE OR SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!! Also added in the update: Common Dialog boxes for color picking, click the from and to boxes showing the sample color to get a common dialog for the appropriate one. Also new, is the feature to save your gradient as a bitmap file!

This UserControl will take the existing Picture on any form and cut out the form wherever the MaskColor is found. This method is MUCH quicker than the pixel by pixel region creation I've seen on several sites. Features an AutoDrag property to allow the form to be dragged without a titlebar. Also features a PopupSysMenu method to activate the form's system menu at specified coordinates. No need to remove your Titlebar, TransForm cuts that out too, but it's still visible on the taskbar if you want. Comes with full source code and a demo project.

This Procedure can be used by AnyForm to Get or Save the Form Position from the Windows Registry using SaveSetting and GetSetting :)

(Update 3/2/2000 I forgot to add the Enum To be used with the MyFormValuesOnLoad() Array But its in there now:) This code will aide in determining if Data has changed on a form. It serves many purposes. 1. To tell wether or not it is approriate to prompt user if they want to save changes they have made. 2. if the user wants to Reset or Undo changes they have made to a single text box, checkbox, or combobox Or all Controls at once(Works for control arrays as well).

Generate very detailed random terrain. Uses a random seed generator so that if you enter the same number with the same parameters it will generate the same map for you. It includes many options like detail, smoothness and water level. After building it allows you to rotate it three-dimensionally.
