The simplest (as few as three lines of code needed!) and best code to implement explorer-style splitter bars
Write text using a laser effect, choose laser color and write color too! I got the idea for this when I saw the laser program that someone made that drew a picture. This works awesome, and it looks cool. See the screenshot!
Based on my earlier Laser Writer, now you can write text with a laser effect, choose the font, and fade the text pixel by pixel. Check out the screenshot!
This program draws a circle gradient wherever you click on the picture box. It uses the point that you clicked as the origin, and you choose your own colors and custom colors.
Click and drag on the screen, and it makes a box that copies everything inside of it. Then you can save it, or take new shots. Great for taking pictures of your programs when listing them on PSC.
Shows you how to put a ProgressBar into the Titlebar of your program. Great for loading a form. Enjoy! AND VOTE FOR ME!
REAL C++ CONTROLS IN YOUR APP!!! Do you know the code "Real C++ Buttons" by Randy Mcdowell? It sends a message to a VB Button to make it a "C++ Button". But if you look at this button with Spy++ you will see that it is still a "ThunderCommandButton", the VB Button. My code lets you use EVERY C++ control in your app!!! And these controls are REAL C++ controls!!! Think of the fantastic controls you can have: e.g. the cool hotkey control. Or what about a "real" RICHEDIT control? The only limitation is your fantasy! Control events are also supported. Well commented, and easy to use even if you don't understand everything that happens. The second version of this code, now with tutorial and some new stuff. Have fun with this code, use it in your app, and if you like it VOTE FOR IT!!!
The StatusBar, a boring control? This code shows you how to get effects like in Internet Explorer! Included features: -Animated icons in the StatusBar -ProgressBar in the StatusBar -Ready/Working display exactly like in WinZip Have fun and vote for me!
This code shows you how to place an own CommandButton into the Titlebar of your program. Great for special commands in your app. Easy to implement and a cool thing that will impress your users. Enjoy! AND VOTE FOR ME! To users of WinNT4 or Win2k: I am sorry I have to tell you that this code won´t work on your system. That might be because NT Technology has got a higher security level and doesn´t allow this program to hook windows.
This code creates a column menue from a normal menue with a free selectable number of items in one column. This works also with bitmaps in the menue. Useful when you have menues that are too large for normal VisualBasic appearance. Enjoy! AND VOTE FOR ME!

This code flips menue items horizontal! Just take a look at the screenshot.
This Code shows how to make an ActiveX-Control that gives a Form the shape of a bitmap or the shape of any text. Includes Demo Projects. Very Cool Effect! Must see!
I'm finally updating this submission! I have completely redone all three controls. The command button is more richer, has more of the "feel" of the acutal Windows XP command button. I noticed previously it flickered, not anymore! I'm completely drawing these buttons to the user control, so there is no flicker. I was also using a timer to detect when a mouse entered and exited the control, which was a bad idea. I'm now using a different method. On these controls you can set the ForeColor, BackColor, and Font properties. Responds just like actual Windows XP buttons. This is a major improvement from my last submission. Well anyway, hope you enjoy these, now everybody can take advantage of the appealing Windows XP look. NOTE: In the screenshot, the controls on the left are the cloned ones :-) Can't really tell a difference, can ya?
AutoSave is a program that automatically saves the file you are working on in the program you specify as often as you want. It is a very useful program especially if you work in a program that has crashing tendecies, and you are worried that your work might be lost. AutoSave demonstrates use of Registry, Menu and Window API calls, and is commented pretty fully. ***Autosave v1.2 is now out!*** Bugs found in the first version have been fixed, so it now works well in both VB5 and VB6! Check it out at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/showcode.asp?txtCodeId=12825 and be sure to vote!
I think this is a great control to be used. It has many features. Please download and see for yourself. Please vote me.
