An about/splash box that has a flicker-free Credit scroll. Uses only the form and one Picturebox; bitblt's the pb image into the client area of the form and uses InvalidateRect to force a redraw of only the area affected. Has methods to read data in from a .RES or a text file. Vote for me if you like what I've done with this, but take a look at Mark's original and let him know he did a great job too! This code uses the basic idea of Mark Robert Strange's 'Flicker Free Gradient Credits' and applies a great deal of modifications to use less resources and have more features.

Here is a way to add bitmaps to menus. It is very simple. The bitmaps should be 15x15 PIXELS (For the best fit). That will give you the best effect. :)

Load Data to a listview from a sequantial file

This ActiveX DLL shows a screentip like the ones shown i Windows 2000. Use it almost the same way as the well know MsgBox. I hope that it will be usefull..

This a MsgBox replacement using Flash. While the flash movie is very simple, it does give a good example into using flash with VB. Read the REadme for information before using. The zip contains the dll, dll source, and source for a sample project using the dll. Also included the flash source so you can look at it and change it if you like.

Did you know that VB 5/6 applications will not render their controls with the new visual themes under Windows XP? Obviously, this is not good. This is the solution to this problem. This creates a REAL themed button under Windows XP by calling the Theme APIs, all wrapped up into an easy to use control. All you have to do is drop this control in your forms in place of the regular command button. Plus, as an added bonus, this control is completely backwards compatible! If the OS that your program is running on does not support Themes (or if they are disabled), this control simply displays the standard command button, without any extra work by you. This will give your applications a truely professional touch!

creates containers for objects

Move any form without a title bar! You can use a label, command button, picturebox, anything to move the form.

This code is a template for a scrolling form. This is great to use if you would like to create applications that work in all resolutions. I reccomend placing this form in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Template\Forms folder so that it is available as a form template.

Lets you set the minimum size your form can be (I haven't seen anything else like this, I did it cause I wanted a form of mine to not go below a size), Also provides a one-step way to add a bitmap to a menu item (someone submitted something like this in the previous day or two, although I didn't take my code from them), and an easy way to add your icon to the system tray. This is my first submission, although I've been using PSC for a while now. I'ld appreciate any voting you could do. Also, comments are greatly appreciated. I'ld love it if you could fix any bugs you come across and send me an email!

This code takes care of drawing your menu's. It extends the CoolMenu v1.3 by Olivier Martin. The "disabled top menu" bug has been solved.

Pre-version (but full and working) of a software to make Mindmaps.

Updated 11-Aug-2001. Enhanced menus builds on Steve's excellent VbAccelerator popup menus which uses standard Vb menus, not complicated menus created at run-time. Enhancements: Transparent or opaque separator captions with icons. Wallpaper highlights. Variable width (autosizes to font) vertical bar created by writing direct to DC's. Left or right orientation. 90° or 270° text rotation. Standard, gradient, or wallpaper style. Individual captions, icons, and font properties. Translucency NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. CAN ANYONE HELP? Rename Alphablend.DL_ to Alphablend.DLL and copy to your windows system directory. See screenshot.

NOTE: Some VbAccelerator code has been modified to fix minor bugs discovered during 8 months of testing. Several new properties and code enhancements added. Uses subclassing so don't use IDE to stop program!

Move forms together as if they were docked. No Timer needed! I had to separate forms used as a kind of toolbox. My idea was, that it would be nice if I could move these two together if they were both active. VB doesn't tell me when my form is moved. But then I realised that I read s.th. about moving forms without a titlebar. Using this trick my code will perform the following action: 1. The form detects a mousedown event 2. The mouse is released and the form moved by FormDrag 3. The other form is notified of the movement 4. The other form will follow the first Don't forget to vote if you like it ;o)
