This is an OCX which opens up a server on your chosen port and it can accept however many users you chose it to. The server is accessible through any telnet client and handles backspacing. Both OCX and example are fully commented. Please Vote. -Paul Blower

This is an Active X control you can add to your apps and have nice, smoothly scrolling text which makes them look pretty good :) The ocx can scroll right->left or bottom->top and background+text colors are customisable. Text scrolls, optionally pauses at the edge for specified ms and then continues to scroll off It uses bitblt to do the drawing so its flickerless and goes pretty smoothly. Also, this code simulates an asynchronus function as i couldnt see a way to make/call an asynchronus function in vb. Please vote for it!

It's a text box (or combobox) that will complete your typing for you, or popup a list as you type so that it doesn't annoy you while your typing. Includes standard text box events. Acts just like Internet Explorer's address bar! UPDATE: Popup List with matching items! URL Aware! Local FileSystem Path Lookup! Just like IE 5!! If your mother only knew!!

This is a screen that will allow you to do searches for anything. It uses control arrays, so you can keep adding search/sort criteria. Keep in mind that I was actually passing field objects to manage the various drop-downs, so you'll have to incorporate your own data access techniques. I had to strip out some things, because it dealt with my own Interface classes, but it should at least give you some ideas. If you use this, PLEASE VOTE. Email me @ paulbrower@browerconsulting.com if you have questions/comments.

AutoSize purpose is to help programmers maintain their forms without too much fuz. FormSizer makes the application remember the size and state of a window from time to time the program is run. (Code free!!!) ControlSizer lets you set up rules for how your controls should resize when the window resizes. The control takes care of the rest. (Coding is limited to two lines of code per control you want to be adaptive)

This UserControl Generate a Message Box that you can customize every detail of it. This is a 3rd update! Increase customizing performance, so you can adjust its...

If you think the desing is ugly can download it and customize yourself. In this version you also can insert picture in Message Box, and also another one as a background at text area. The screen shot is uglier that its real picture because this's .gif image. License problem is fixed so you shouldn't have problem with Regsve32 anymore. Old ugly close button now replaced with a better one. Please VOTE for me and leave comments. Good, bad, are strongly appreciate. Anyone who want to develop this with me just send an e-mail to hyperactive0000@hotmail.com . Note: if you know how to play windows sound (set by user) like when you click Start menu or Minimize program, please tell me so I can put it in this code. Anyway, in this version, if you launch a message box, it also generate "Beep" Sound. Console Panel now very cool and so colorful, but you won't see it in screenshot. Now have method "SetBtnFocus" so you can set highlight to any button. 3 screen picture are add as template picture to put it in message box. Every time button recieve focus it generate event seperately. Console now have status bar to inform when any event has been raised. All properties is run-time customizable. Was it buggy? well, not in this version (3.2 R17) anymore. The most important thing, don't forget to *V*O*T*E* for my code.

This is title scrolling at its simplest and best i suppose. Well The Purpose of this code is for ppl who are just learning like me, and want something that they can understand. Plenty of comments that are clear and make sense. Plus a second project inside to make things a little harder, it lets you work out how it was done. This isn't mega-stuff, its really for just learners =) Anyways, enjoy.

A popup color selector active-x control, similar to a combobox, featuring 12 different palettes, and 2 color selection events: Click() and Change(). The popup window can be disabled, in which case the popup()event may be used to substitute your own color selection code, or access to the common windows dialog. Hue selection is done through mouse hovering using custom timer class. Credits to various PSC contributors as listed in the text file. Uses 12 API functions. Full source included - well commented. V1.1 now includes hWnd property. (Thanks Ross McCawley!)

Two active-x controls are included in this OCX library, a folder and file selector. The controls resemble a combobox, and when the dropdown button is clicked, a dialog is shown in which a folder or file may be selected. The BrowseFolder control uses the SHBrowseForFolder API function, and the BrowseFile the GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName functions. A call back procedure is implemented showing the currently selected folder in the browse for folder dialog. The user has the choice to select any system folder (Desktop, My Computer etc) as the root, or a custom folder. The BrowseFile control returns the filename and path separately from the full path. The standard inverse triangle on the dropdown boxes may be substituted for any 8 pixel wide bitmap (with varying heights), with a choice of mask colors. Full set of events are included, click() upon dialog close, Change() and DropDown() prior to opening of the dialogs. Source also implements BitBlt() API function to copy transparent images. This is an update to the original ArielBrowseFolder Control, which has been removed from PSC.

Simple timer class using GetTickCount API function, similar to standard timer control. Accepts long interval. Perfect for forms and/or user controls. Generates ONTIMER() event. Credits to code published by Riaan Aspeling in PSC, thanks Riaan.

Very simple, but usful because the only thing hotbar haven't thought of yet is changing back to older hotbar pictures. This program enables you to do so. Please vote for my code.

A reporting control to ease printing of reports. The control will also enabled preview of reports, save to file and printing to the printer. With this control, user have control on the printing format (code level) as to using the a third party ReportWriter

This is an example on how to create borderless, resizable and skinned forms. It would be nice with some comments(and votes to;P)

An alternate to using Sliders, Scrollbars and UpDown controls. Not just an enhanced version of an existing type of control, but a new type of control altogether. Scrolls values up and down with the use of Visual thumb wheel, includes the ability to "Spin Over" to Minimum value when Maximum value has been attained and visa-versa.

Ever wanted your VB6 apps to fit in with Windows XP? Now you can do just that. There are other samples on this site that accomplish this, but they use user controls or images - which means that the controls are slow and may not be resizable - and they're large. Want a better solution? This is it. Real Windows XP controls on Windows XP that match the user's visual style (i.e. theme), without user controls or images, with only one API call. You can even use the standard Visual Basic controls (buttons, scrollbars, checkboxes, etc.) and it will work - all with the speed of a native application. Because it is a native application, using Windows to draw the controls.

This ActiveX control makes it extremely easy to create server applications. It uses an array of Winsock controls to handle multiple connections. Start the server with one line of code! I included a sample project and a detailed explanation of all the events, properties, and methods, so you can see exactly how it is used (readme.rtf). Since PSC removes the OCX file from my zip, you can get it here: http://www.bouncefilterware.com/drew/ServerControl.ocx -- Your comments/questions/suggestions are welcome. UPDATE: I added a broadcast function. Although it's not the proper way to broadcast data, it works.

I've seen a lot of progress bar code on this site, but I haven't seen any that show you how to set up the caption so it will change color as the bar moves over it. This is a very basic example of how to do that. The trick is setting the DrawMode to "Not Xor Pen"; you can also use "Merge Pen Not". This example is only to get you started. You'll have to play around with the BackColor, ForeColor and RGB color used for the bar to get the color effect you want. Have fun.

This control creates a splitter bar with 2 resizable panels. The panels are adjustable by a specifying the size of the Child1 panel through the PanelSize property. It also includes minimum and maxmimum size parameters. It is well commented and also provides a demo application to explain all the options. I would also like to thank Mark Joyal for his great SplitterControl on which this is based. His control provides a way to resize based by a percentage, while mine provides a way to resize based on a size value. Since this is my first Active-X control, I would really appreciate your votes and any feedback you can provide.
