Owner drawn to skin a form or draw a frame. Can show min, max and close buttons.
Richtext control with built in spell checker. Also previews the text in IE by converting the richtext to HTML. Has built in formatting, bold, underlined, italic, left/right/center justification plus colors.
Add WordOver function to Standard Textboxes (not to Richtext)
Maybe 2 years ago someone submited VerticalMenu Well... i did fixes major bugs and try to enhanced it. It is not a full Skin control cause the design have to be done differently. Meanwhile this is fun control to use.
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 program shows how to send files via winsock (tcp/ip) well commented code.
This control can be a level meter (with peaks) for visualizations, a seekbar, a progress bar, or just a gradient/solid line. I consider this control to now be in beta so feedback with regard to bugs encountered, optimizations, enchancements, feature suggestions/requests are most desired. I would also like to hear suggestions on how I can improve the gradient routines. I know some excellent gradient routines have been posted recently, especially Light Templer's/LaVolpe's, but they are only 2 color and I have struggled with integrating them into my control...any help would be welcome and appreciated.
Building on my previous transparent bullet labels submission, I have built this control which draws transparent checkboxes. It is still a work in progress but ready for feedback. One drawback, it uses the dreaded GetKeyState + Timer combination to capture mouse clicks within the control rectangle. If anyone knows a better way to trap mouse events on the transparent parts of a control, I'd be happy to hear it...Anyway, it is functional...just launch the .vbg file...
Just a little fun with regions. Pop this control on your form, set the shape you want and, at run-time, you will have form transparency where your control is sited and in the shape that you selected. Yeah, I know the screenshot and test project are cheesy but I just didn't have time to make something more elaborate. The goal for me was simply to learn more about regions. Perhaps, those of you with the luxury of time can combine the shapes to make something more interesting or extend the control with more shapes and, maybe, a custom shape method. Just extract where you want and launch the HolePunchGroup.vbg...
Well, I only came up with 3 so far. Why you ask? Well, I downloaded this some time ago and thought it was a neat effect but what to use it for? Well, I found a little time to kill and went through all my downloaded code. I re-discovered this and decided to see if there was a fun way to make use of it. I found a couple and decided to resubmit this to PSC to see what some of you evil geniuses could do with it. If you got a little time to play, let's see what you got. ;-) Let's have some fun dammit.... My revisions: Removed the intrinsic VB timer and added Paul Caton's timer class and a reference to the WinSubHook2 typelib included in the zip. In my opinion, Paul's code is one the most useful ever submitted to PSC. I have found a multitude of uses for it and it is simply awesome coding. Also, I formatted the code and changed variable names to my taste. Forgive me Ulli. Finally, I added a TripComplete event for use in my demo. To use, make sure you have a reference to the WinSubHook2 typelib. If for some reason you can not see the effect, substitute the use of the Alphablend (msimg32.dll) API for the use of the GDIAlphablend (gdi32.dll) API call. The parameters are identical so you should only have to change the function name, uncomment the Alphablend api call, and comment the GDIAlphablend API call. Votes are not necessary but if you vote, they are Ulli's.....
Simply a master volume fader control...Slider functionality piggybacked from Carles P.V.'s excellent cpvSlider submission. I added mixer api to control and detect changes in the sound volume as well as a routine to draw the snail trail...Also uses Paul Caton's excellent winsubhook typelib and timer class, included in the zip. Skinnable in that the slider thumb pic can be changed. Can also probably set the pic of your choice as the usercontrol background although I did not attempt that myself... Happy Holidays!!!
A small prototype of a much larger project I am working on which required the use of labels with a little more zest. Hence, my solution is tranparent bullet labels. This project demonstrates a simple way to draw text, shapes, etc., on a usercontrol when the backstyle is set to transparent and should be useful as a starting point for anyone wanting to roll their own transparent controls with the added flexibility of drawing it yourself.
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.
No voting please. The original author (Richard Mewett) has abandoned this Grid and is now using another; but this grid is too good to let die. This is a Major update (the number of changes made in this version are significant), so please read the HistoryLog before using. The HistoryLog also contains a list of all public subs, functions, and properties. Notes: Not all properties are illustrated in the demo. Oblivious omissions: Cell merging (got to complicated); Datacontrol support (which you should avoid anyway).---------------------------------------------------- (Update: Added RowUnselect)
A replacement for Sheridan's 3D (THREED32.OCX) SSPanel and SSFrame controls. This is not a direct replacement because some of the property names are different. A good alternative when using XP manifest files over VB's Frame control and a picture box (which contains a lot of overhead). This control has 70 different border combinations and 3 text styles that can be positioned one of 15 possible locations. You can change the background, highlight and shadow colors; add gradient fill and/or fill with a pattern. Also included: Line3D control, automatically create a manifest file, link XP themes to the application, and End an application the proper way. Please see the Readme file for a listing of the property definitions.
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.) UPDATED 1/8/03 - now allows positioning of scrollbars.
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
Shows programmers how to program visually.
