Results for "Category: Custom Controls/ Forms/ Menus"

I have been working on menus since my last submission and here is the result.

When users are tabbing on a form they can lose track of where they are, I have written a com object that highlights the control with the focus

This ProgressBar Class can draw in 8 Direction, has XOR Caption(like InstallChield) and a Real Time2End Display. The Performance is very good paint only by Change. If you like it please rate for me.

Put an icon in the system tray with popup menus without any ocx or dll. Updated to include the option of having your program be on top of all others, very simple to use. I'm not really worried about votes, but if this code helps someone new to Visual Basic I would like to hear a comment if it's not too much trouble.

Simple Scrollable View Port control. Just a control container with scrollbars. My first submition. With enough requests/input, I'll add events and/or other properties as suggested. If you like it, vote. (Updated with a fix for possible graphical glitches at design time and redundant code.)

Converts VB checkbox control values(checked/unchecked) into MS ACCESS value (0,-1) and vice versa. I came across this while I was doing my project. Seems like MS ACCESS doesn't support checkbox values yet. I couldn't find anything like it here in planet source code therefore I wrote this. I played around with MS A's boolean controls, and found out it returns values 0,-1.(not 0,1? )There for, I scribbled this up. Need to finish my project quick, hehe.Btw, if you guys have a better solution, or if there IS a solution, pls contact me, :P If you're using this code, pls credit me for my work, and vote for me !

This code will simply allow you to create a form which is clear, meaning you can only see the controls on the form, and everything else will appear as whatever ur form is covering up. The best thing about this code is that if you click on an area of the form which has no controls, and is transparent, then it will take you to that window. MAKE SURE YOUR FORM SCALEMODE IS PIXELS

A new VB Tab-control that looks like the one used in Photoshop.

Enhance the common VB-Form, to look more cool and act with some other features. Please also see the JW_Cooltab control from me :-)

Calendar user control - lightweight and simple to use - full source code included

Just under 10 lines of code, and you have very cool graphical diagram monitoring your variables! All colors can be set easily. Also includes many other options to fit your app. Is you find this useful, please vote me or give me feedback.

First off, This is my *FIRST* OCX file.. So don't laugh too much.. You can have a back image, change fore/back color Bar can go: Up>Down, Down>Up, Left>Right, right>Left You can set a caption: ie Loading.. (51%) instead of 51% You can show or hide the % (ie standard Percent bar or most install's percentage bar)

This code flattens ComboBoxes (even if they are ownerdrawn), EditBoxes and Checkboxes without any problems. It also flattens OptionButtons, but the code is still buggy, please wait until the next version (but i need help on that part!!!) :-(

If you have artistic talent, you can make buttons with this code in any format easily. All that you have to do is draw a image. I included some images like example.

~This is version 2 of my Menu Replacement control~ See below to see whats been changed since version 1. Have you ever wanted to use your own custom menu instead of the one that comes with windows? You know, those little popup menus you get when you right-click on something, well, I've made a replacement for them (All source included). It lets you make a popup menu animated like the windows ones, but fully customizable. There is the .ocx source and a demo program that uses the menu.ocx to display an example menu. The code is commented and not too hard to understand. If you like the code please vote or leave comments. -Daniel Taylor (Dan@nknet.com) *This is a complete user-drawn menu** i don't use the windows popup menu at ALL...* History: ~Verion 2.0~ +Optional Picture can be displayed on left side of menu. +Menu now animates both width and height when opening. +Fixed BackColor problem, now when backcolor is set on usercontrol, the menu's backcolor is the same. +3 Selection Styles for when the mouse is over an item. +Menu Items now have optional names for better control over the click event. +Each menu item can have it's own Forecolor, HotForecolor, and HotBackcolor, when not specified they revert to the usercontrol's ItemForecolor, ItemHotForecolor, and ItemHotBackcolor values. +When Menu is shown partly off the screen, it automatically moves itself back on. ~Version 1.0~ The Origional... +Automatically resizes to whatever text you specify +Backcolor, Forecolor, HotForecolor, and HotBackcolor all customizable +3 BorderStyles. +Easy To Implement, just 2 commands let you do almost everything. +Completely Userdrawn, i.e. doesn't use any preexisting popupmenu, just a normal form. +Menu optionally animates like Win98+ menus, i.e. the StartMenu. +Animation speed is adjustable, so menu opens at different speeds. ~Things To Work On~ -Can't have child menus. *In order to use this control you have to compile it yourself, since PlanetSourceCode deletes compiled .ocx files. Its easy, just open then MenuCtl.vbp file and click File -> Make Menu.ocx and then it will ask for a filename, make sure it's Menu.ocx. Once compiled you can run the example.vbp project without problems.*

As most of you know the progressbar that comes with windows is in a HUGE file, and isn't even that great, so I've attempted to make a replacement for it. I've seen a few other attempts at this, but they can't do some of the stuff my progressbar can, and my progressbar is less than 50 kb!! The screenshot shows some of what it can do, and a demo program is included. If you like it, VOTE!!!!!

Show a wait box with progress while your program is performing a task that takes a long time. This project shows an application modal wait box while doing a work. You can change the progress value from the owner form with preventing the user from activating it. The wait box also shows time infos such as start time, elaspsed time, end estimated time, remaining time.

This code can turn off the focus rectangle of a button. It is very simple to add to your own application, and very small.Check out this cool effect and vote for me!

This program allows you to dynamically create a popup menu with images from a database. You enter the menu items you want in the database and the program creates the menu.

I am not the author - This is a outstanding free control that anyone bulding an editor should take a look at. http://www.winmain.com/ WinMain Software develops CodeMax, a powerful Win32-based custom control that gives application developers the ability to add sophisticated code editing capabilities with a minimum amount of effort. You won't find a better source code edit control around. CodeMax is vastly superior to its competition -- it has more than twice the features, is as fast as the integrated development environments, and is totally free (source code, too).
