Amazingly easy method for editing flex-grids in place. This is an example that I created to help someone out who needed to edit a flex-grid in place and didn't want to get a third party grid. It is a good starting point for a custom grid control. Good, bad or ugly, comments are always welcome. M@

This form can be used as a template for creating dynamic "Outlook" style forms in VB. Each frame resizes independently...and best of all, NO OCX!

Very basic example of creating a user control. This one has actually turned out to be useful in an application I wrote. I kept the features to a minimum in this one so that it would be easier to see how it works.

Evenly spaces an image as many times as will fit on a form

Hotspots part1. (Basic Hotspots) This program will show new users of Visual Basic how to create hotspots and custom buttons using the image control. See how variable arrays can be used to switch graphics on a single image control. See how you can use control arrays with different graphics. Use a shape control to identify the screen location for your hotspots. You will see how to make custom buttons using graphics and the image control. And finally, you will see the underlying thought process on how an "Interactive Multimedia" program is built in VB. As always, your comments and votes keep these examples coming. Please take a minute to tell me what you think.

This code shows how to create a multimedia type rollover menu that changes text and graphics on the form. This uses a rect function to recognize the rollover hotspots. (A MUST SEE)

My code here will allow you take a screen shot of the entire screen.

It's a cool slider

Source code of a Control, subclassing the MSFlexGrid, to create a Hierarcical Grid (like Treeview). But, as in a MSFlexGrid, you can set individual fonts, colors, even pictures on any cell.

This code shows the basis to manage a drag&drop bars on an MSFlexGrid. This easy source code lets you make the necesary changes to work in companion with my hierarcical msflexgrid. You can make the changs to work the bars to make it vertical. Add pictures,text (anything!) on the bars. Very easy code!

This is a total remake of the last Image Viewer I made. It still views JPG, GIF, BMP, ICO, CUR image files. Besides showing image files, it can also act as an example of how to put skins into your program(s). Please vote!

A nice non-container Frame-Control. Note that there is no window-handle for this control. So it saves your system resources Features : - Styles Raised, Sunken, Etched, Inset etc. - BackStyle (Solid/Transparent) - BackColor - BorderColor Ejoy. Votes are welcome.

Select color value either in RGB, HEX or LONG. Very easy to include in your own project.

This is an enhanced Start menu from the BoS project. I pulled out the explorer functionality and made it standalone. New features include: more natural response to mouse rollover, you can set the font, font size and height of the items, the menu gets the real text width and height at runtime so it can adapt to any font, font size or style. Item spacing can be adjusted by adjusting picItem(0) text and icons are centered vertically at run time. Must See. Thanks to Brian for his COOL BoS. I feel this functionality with its enhancements can be really useful in your projects.

This demonstrates the use of alpha blending to create the illusion of a semi-transparent form. This effect can be used to make some VERY COOL form closing effects.

This code shows you how to do docking or snapping (however you may like to call it). It has two docking styles -- one is with a timer and the other one is just a normal one. You can dock one form with the other, and you can also dock, any of the forms, with the screen ends.

It animates the window in three styles (from which you can choose) when the form is moved anywhere. (I was just playing when I got this.)
