*UPDATE 1.6* Added the AutoHide features that people have been requesting. The control now has 4 properties that are for the AutoHide feature: 1. AutoHide, Boolean This tells the bar to hide when the mouse is no longer over it. 2. AutoHideWait, Integer This tells the bar how long to wait before hiding (in case you accidentally move the mouse off of it, it wont immediately hide) It is in Milliseconds so 1000 = 1 second. 3. AutoHideAnimate, Boolean This tells the bar to "slide" off screen instead of just disappearing. 4. AutoHideAnimateFrames, Integer This is the # of frames to split the "Slide" effect into (more frames is slower, but smoother) I recommend 50 - 100 frames. From my testing it seems to be the best. *UPDATE 1.5* Fixed the icon drawing problems when comipled on windows 2000. Re-wrote a lot of code to optimize for speed, and to make the code easier to read/understand. Added a lot more and better comments. *UPDATE 1.4* Fixed the drawing on windows 2000/nt/95. Fixed the bar to work when used with a compiled exe. Fixed some drawing problems with the coolbar style. *UPDATE 1.3* Fixed one more windows 2000 bug. still having the compiled issue on win2k. Added a new style (now you can select the style property), Coolbar. *UPDATE 1.2* fixed the win2k bug. Now works perfectly in windows 2000. ADDED: Color settings, for every button state, and for the bar itself. Fixed many bugs (none left that I know of) Added the menu. Now when you right click on a button on the task bar, it shows the system menu from the form that the button belongs to. This ia fully working Taskbar for an MDI form. Works just like the windows task bar. It was originally written by Maxx Zephyr Technology and uploaded to www.freevbcode.com. That version had problems, and also was not a stand alone control, it had to be included in your project because it was dependant on the Forms collection. I went through the code, cleaned it up, removed the forms collection (used the api to replace it) and made the user control into a full stand alone ocx, that you can simply drop on an MDI form.

This is used to get the MX records of a host. This is a usercontrol, with a demo project. It has a ton of good code. Including how to get the DNS of your local machine in code in every possible way (there are many). So the control can find the dns itself. This code has code from Jason Martin (http://www.planetsourcecode.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.11006/lngWId.1/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm)

*UPDATE 1.9b7* Added a system tray clone to it. Updated the demo to show how to use it. Added better color selection to it. Added the menu system, updated the demo to show this as well. *UPDATE 1.6* Added the AutoHide features that people have been requesting.

This program rotates a 3d cube to the 4 directions, using a translation code, and also has a zoom in/out option (control it with: W, A, D, X, 1 & 2)

This Program will make colorful fireworks. The code is kinda short, but it looks so cool. I've included many directions/explanations that will help you change the input value.

This subroutine will disable the Windows 9x/NT ' close button, also known as the little X ' button. It's really useful when you have a ' form that you don't want to set its ControlBox ' property to False. Write this code in a ' standard module (BAS).

Shows how to add files to a listview with the associated icons It is a litle tricky and I hope you vote for me Needs Microsoft Scripting Runtime

The program will easily register your .ocx, .dll, .tlb, etc components quickly. Simply double click on the component and it's registered! Also has a few other fancy stuff in but I guarantee it will be useful to you!

Dynamic Menu example for everyone! Heavily commented!! This code teach you how to load/unload menu items at run-time, how to add all file names (without the .*** extension) from a directory to a menu. You will find that all this is really not that difficult if you read the comments in the code! Rather than votes, I want feedback on my code - so please comment :)

Purpose:Play an AVI file through the Animation Control on the Status bar. This code was inspired by James E. Toebes’ code: "Progress Meter on Status Bar"... instead of the ProgressBar control I am using the Animation Control. There were a few things I tweaked. For more AVI files you can check out http://pjs-inc.com/vb-avi

Language interpreter using Visual Basic Runtime. (Obviously slow). I forgot why I took this post down. ModLangNotes.bas has instructions.

Displays animated GIFs without any ocx or dll.

This code extracts icons from Dll's and Exe's. The code is so simple any VB newbie should be able to understand it.

Add knobs to your audio/other app. Choose from 0-10, 0-100, and 0-1000. No *.bmps, simple circle and line. 5 sizes... MUST SEE... ;)

Title sez it all. Check it out!

Custom LEDs, with no *.bmps. LED Graphics are created with strings. Much like a map of a tile based game. FAST! + 2 Display options. This version only has numbers, modify it with letters & other chars if you need to.

gridClass is a read-only grid comprised of text box arrays. I use it to display information from an Access database and it was developed after expriencing total frustration with the grid provided with VB6. It could be modified to be updatable and I may find time at a future date to do that.

This incredible program shows how to create totally realistic fire without using any palettes to create the right color effects! A simple bit of mathematical color manipulation creates a perfectly colored fire effect more realistic and faster then palettes, making for real-time fire animation. The included .exe demonstrates the current max speed of this program, and it will BLOW YOU AWAY! This code is guaranteed to be the FASTEST, EASIEST, and MOST REALISTIC algorithm-generated fire project at this site. If you don't believe me, try it out! This is definitely the best artificial fire program that has ever been built in VB, so don't miss out on this awesome code!

This killer code demonstrates the fastest and most efficient way to combine pictures transparently. Designed to be used in a paint program or game, this picture will combine 2 pictures at any percent transparency. I haven't seen code of this nature anywhere else on the site, so be sure to check this out. This code could also be used to fade pictures into eachother (like they do in MYST with transitions mode on), if you're interested. Includes picture loading and saving code as well.

This cool little program demonstrates a basic painting program as well as the hard-to-find dll call for filling a region of a picture. To use the program, all you have to do is draw a line with the left mouse button, then click with the right mouse button to fill the clicked-on area with a random color. Also, as far as I know, this may be the only VB project on the net that has the 'ExtFloodFill' dll call, so make sure to grab it!
