Yet another update. I have fixed the scrollbar display under WindowsXP. Here's an update to my Combobox control. I fixed the App activation issue, and added support for MDI & MDI child forms. Thanks for the support! Due to the lack in VB for a Multi-Column Combobox and the licensing issues with the Forms2.0 control, I've created my own. This control uses only the standard VB controls so there are no extra dependencies like many of the other Multi-Column comboboxes out there. It's simple to use and setup. It supports column widths, a finditem method that searches items by column, and hot-tracking. It also has the common ComboEdit & ComboList style. You can adjust the drop-down list height and width. The list will also display outside of the form border. The code for the control is not commented very well, but the demo does a pretty good job explaining how to use it. Many of the API & Subclassing base techniques used in the control are from vbAccelerator, & mvps.org/vbnet. Also, if you know of any ways to improve it, please let me know. I've tested MANY other Multi-Column comboboxes (free and the not so free) and I feel this control is a very good cross between graphical representation and useability providing the programer an easy interface and the end user a control that behaves like you would expect. If you feel that this control is worth the time & effort put into it, then please vote for it! If not, any suggestions on how I can make it better are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Having seen so many code snips that either only work with Windows9x or return incorrect values, I decided to write one that should work accross ALL version of Windows. I was able to find multiple pieces of code all over the place and assembled them into a neat little ActiveX control. This usercontrol can be be used visually, and optionally display the history of any if the following values; CPU Load %, Memory Load %, Free Pagefile %, Free Virtual Memory % and the HD Free space %. The control can also be hidden and used to manually retrieve the values below using the GetCurrentSystemLevels routine. This allows you to retrieve current system levels and isplay the information using your own layout/design; CPULoadPercent, MemoryLoadPercent, PhysicalMemoryTotal, PhysicalMemoryAvailable, PhysicalMemoryAvailablePercent, PageFileTotal, PageFileAvailable, PageFileAvailablePercent, VirtualMemoryTotal, VirtualMemoryAvailable, VirtualMemoryAvailablePercent, HDTotalBytes, HDTotalFreeBytes, HDAvailableFreeBytes, HDTotalBytesUsed, HDAvailablePercent The visual look of the control is fully customizable. All colors can be modified to fit the individual needs of developers.
I have enhanced Elad Rosenheim's "Dynamic" Resizable Skin Demo to better support KewlPad skins as well as added several functionality changes to bring it closer to a complete skinnable solution. Changes: - All the code was removed from the form's codebase and put into a Class Module to make it reusable and easily compiled into an ActiveX DLL. - Allow for A Minimum Client Area size - Allow for Maximum Form Size - Ability to make the form non-movable, non-resizeable, and/or Always OnTop. - Removed the need to have a second "Hidden form" for correct Minimize events. - Built in routine will reconfigure form using API calls and remove the titlebar and 3D effects, so you don't have to change the form's BorderStyle in the IDE. - Added several events triggered when the form skinning is complete, The Minimum button was clicked, the Close button was clicked, ClientArea and Form MouseEvents, and of course on Form Resize. - New Skin properties: FontColor, FontBold, BackColor. Over 50 KewlPad skins are available at http://www.deviantart.com/browse/?section=kewlpad *Please ask the original Skin author for permission before distributing there skins with your app.
NOT just another Scrollbar : This control will allow you to use graphics for the background, thumb and the buttons. Works in either Horizontal or verticle orientation, will automatically determine the orientation when you create the control on the form. Uses Longs for the Min / Max / Value properties, no more 65535 limitation. Can AutoSize to the dimensions of the background picture. The buttons on the ends can be hidden so only the BackGround and the Thumb are shown. Great for use with Skins and other unique grpahical applications. No flicker. Smooth scrolling. [ Updated ]
This demonstrates how to use the windows api to dynamically (and quickly) reshape a form without hogging resources. It Doesn't Even Blink! PLEASE VOTE!

Update---------------------------------------- This is an improved version of previos DLL. Now it handles child controls of the container control which is being undocked, plus I've fixed the problem with changing focus. Also I've included test project so you can see how it is suppose to work. Old --------------------------------------------- This class allows to undock any control on the form and drag it around. Furthermore, during Undocked state events will be still received at the same place. It is an emulation of the Microsofts abilities to undock panels (ex VB Properties and Toolbar)

this http client user control (ocx) makes the downloading of webpages, files, whatever, greatly simplified and demonstrates some very key internet programming concepts such as the use of the winsock control, protocol programming, as well as user control properties, property bags, and things like that.

A control to create a sidebarlogo. It is based on code i found at http://www.vbaccelerator.com. I was tired to remember the settings of the picturebox so I created this little Custom Control.
This is a great button control if you want to build professional-looking applications. It provides 6 different styles, including a Cool (Rebar) style, flat, standard (3D) and 2 different Options styles. Allows for different pictures, colors and fonts in all 3 states -- normal, hover and selected. Has all the other properties of a standard button, so it is a great replacement. 12/21 -- added Cancel and Default properties. **Feedback is greatly appreciated**
