The EBSlider control is a self-contained, horizontal/vertical slider control written entirely in VB6.

This code allows you to have the smooth-scrolling effect seen in better applications on your datagrids(could also apply to other scroll bars in VB) When you grab the trackbar and move it, VB doesn't do anything until you let go. Or if you click on the trackbar itself, the grid just jumps. This code shows you how to change these effects so that the grid(or text) will scroll smoothly as you drag or click.

This is a quick and dirty example of how to add IntelliSense (like the VB IDE) type functionality to your apps.

This basic procedure will handle all parent and child Checkboxes in a TreeView control. If you check a child node it will automatically check the parent(s) and vise versa.

ActiveX dll source code & test project which monitors a directory for changes. It will watch for files being added or deleted, and changes in attributes or size, and raise an event when a change occurs. I have not used any api calls for this, so there ARE more efficient ways to write this code. I needed to get it done, and was having too much trouble with the api calls working smoothly. I don't care if you vote, but would really appreciate constructive comments. Thx

INTRODUCTION: I searched a lot For articles about VB & Midi, found some, but mostly they only handled short messages, the easy part. Here I needed To go further To solve a problem I had. The project turned out To be a bit sizy, but it embeds a lot of knowledge that was hard To find. So it could mean a great deal To someone starting With programming midi. The main objective was To automate convertions of Roland SC-55 System Exclusive Bulk Dumps into a shorter alternative, using as much short messages As possible, so other modules can receive the messages too. Other features are mixing the SC settings, generate fade In/outs, Read & write midi, more Or less wysiwyg printing of the dump values, midi piano, midi thru, etc. PURPOSE: Analyse SC-55 System Exclusive bulk dumps Generate alternatives for this huge bulkdump in case a high percentage are default data Edit the Sound Canvas settings ENVIRONMENT: This is a VB5 project. Since the WebBrowser control is used (provided with Windows 95) it can be run under Windows 95, but Windows NT doesn't install this control (~ SHDOCVW.DLL) automatically, so there you should find a way to install it yourself. No other (than basic VB) controls are used.

This class allows you to replace the standard Visual Basic menu with one that supports many more features, some of which include: Addition of bitmaps or icons to menu items (supports any size).

Creates a totally customizable MsgBox replacement which can have custom icons and buttons. Report any bugs or suggestions, and feel free to modify the code (just give me credit for the original). One thing I haven't gotten around to adding yet is the support for default buttons, so if you have to, you can add that. Also, in order to use this in the sample prog (any prog for that matter), you have to compile it into a DLL and reference in the project first. PSC doesn't allow precompiled DLLs, so you have to do it. [ UPDATED ] It now has full support for changing the colors of the buttons and messagebox, as well as their colors

The problem with standard TextBox is that it background can't be transparent, I've developed the transparent text with standard Label objects. You can not type in text in Label object at Runtime, but with help of PictureBox you can type characters and edit text in Label objects. All Label objects that you want to be transparent and editable you must put on one PictureBox, and PictureBox will then work with Label objects… You can use the transparent text with "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" - "FM20.DLL", but there is one problem: this ActiveX component is not recommended to use, and it'll work only on computers with Microsoft Office 98 or late installed.

This is how to use gradient colors in a form. You do not need to do anything or write lines of code to add gradient to your forms. Just put the these three lines in Form_Load Sub Update Note: Thanks for comments, Form_Resize is a better sub if your form is not fixed size
