MacSHELL is a macintosh look alike shell for windows. My main idea was to emulate the macintosh system as accurately as possible. It still doesn't look completely like the mac but I hope to add more mac features soon! I got lots of feedback from my first two versions and now I have updated it as best as I can. There is lots of room for improvement so please leave your comments.

This ocx allow you to easily place, change or delete an icon in the system tray and set its tooltip. This ocx provides support for mouse events. To use it in you project just place this object in a form and call CreateIcon, ChangeIcon or DeleteIcon. A test project is included.

Modified from Benjamin Wilger's original source. Gives forms a Winamp-like docking behavior. I have added support to make the forms move together when docked, just as in Winamp. Previously, the windows would dock to each other, but not move together. This version adds the option of making one form the "master" of the other docked forms, so that when the master form is dragged, forms docked to it are dragged as well. Many, many thanks to Benjamin Wilger for his code, without which this version would not exist. (See http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=27489&lngWId=1 for the original code.) Please cast a positive vote if you enjoy this code. It only takes a few seconds, and I feel less like I'm operating in a vacuum here.

Hey! This creates a type of progress bar like the one Microsoft uses when Windows is loading. This looks so much better than the standard windows progress bar for those times when you just want to show that the computer is working and you don't need to show a percentage of how much is done. I created a class to easily import it into a project. This example has enough comments to understand how it works and how to implement it in your project. I am personally using it in a Splash screen to show that work that must be completed before the user can continue.

It turns the Decimal format of a colour value (example: 16777215) into three seperate values containing the seperate Red, Green, and Blue values. (example: red = 255, green = 255, blue = 255).

This code mask symbol in TextBox. Nobody (unmask-programm) cant show you password. Four line of code protect you programm.

It always bothered me that Microsoft didn't make their boring Slider control with more options. This control allows you to customize the appearance of the gripper. It also, like the Winamp Slider control, allows the background to shift color intensities as you get closer to your miniumum or maximum values. Enjoy!

This code does every thing that the common dialog control can do. the module CDModule (CD = Common dialog) has function that replace the common dialog actions. You need to have the common dialog dll.

Subclass Standard Common dialog(OCX) and get full control on it. You can change text in any buttons/labels/textboxes, make them invisible or disable. When user perform any action with common dialog, your app receive notyfication and you can proceed/cancel this action, prompt user with msgboxes etc, etc. Add following functionality: intercept Open/Save dialogs toolbar buttons events, intercept context menu in filebox, changing dialog size, move/size controls in dialog.

Class with various windows dialogs - including standar common dialogs (open/save, print, font, color and help) as well as other (select folder(with pre-selecting ability), select icon, shutdown/restart, run file, Object Properties (ie. System, Printer, Disk, File etc.) and AboutBox. Add this class to your app and forget about comdlg32.ocx.

Class for adding tooltips for any control with hwnd property. You can chose back and fore color for tooltips, style (standard or ballon), center it. Allow to add tooltips to every item in controls with items (listbox, listview, treeview). You can set delay and visible time of tooltip and its maximum width.

This is new improved Scrolling Text Control. I added almost all proparties of standart TextBox and a new one: Scroll - that start/stop scrolling. It also allows you to choose three predefined size of text. Enjoy it.

Allows you to zoom a part of image. I have seen something like this in encyclopedia on CD and I tried to do the same.

Allow you to create a file that changes the forms shape. Let you create an array of points, and shows you how to load it in another program. Comment throughout the code...

Dither Any Form The Colours: White, Red, Green, Blue or Random to Black (Similar To Setup Programz). Please Remember To Vote & Leave Comments & Suggestions, Thank You!

Ever sick and tired of that control supplied by Microsoft? Well... here is an alternative and it can do quite a few things indeed. Feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you. Full source is included. Written using visual basic 5 control creation edition. Please don't forget to vote - be kind - this is my first OCX control.

Maybe the easiest way to move a form without any API's. Works in all versions/ all oses (I think ;). It also shows a easy way to make snapping.

You can move the task bar around

Ever tried puting a menu on a form with a skin? It puts a title bar at the top. With my code you can put menus on forms that you don't want to have the regular title bars on. I used some code from PSC on my skins. This is really good code. Please give it a good rating and leave feedback.

This control emulates hot links (seen in web pages, and other apps like Outlook mail rules and the triggers section of the Starcraft Level editor.) It supports word wrap, pictures and highlighting! Have a look and please vote!
