~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!!!!!

Added the Office Xp look to Richard Wells' Statusbar. Also added AutoSize to the panels.

FireFox Style SearchBox Control =============================== The FireFox Style SearchBox Control is an ActiveX Control that allows developers to add a neat Search Box to their Applications. As shown in the screenshot below, the test application allows you to change a variety of the controls properties, such as Back/Fore/Border Color, Font Size/Style, Event Trigger Interval, etc. Feature Overview: • Customisable Text Input Area, • Optional Popup Menu Support via Left Icon (Triggers Popup Event), • Customise Color and Font Settings, • Timed Search Trigger (Fires event if Search String has changed every X milliseconds instead of every key press) • Cancel Search Button

FireFox Style User Notification Popup. The User Notification Popup System is a visual feature to signal the user of any items of importance. These items may include such things as New Mail Messages, Application Alerts, Completion Notifications, etc. As shown in the screenshot below, the test application allows you to trigger various types of Notifications. Pressing any of the example buttons will launch a popup notification instantly. Pressing another will queue up a request while the first is being displayed. By clicking the ‘Alert’ Button while an Alert Popup is being displayed, rather then queuing up another Alert Popup, it will update the current displayed one. Similarly, clicking the ‘Message’ Button more then once, while the Alert Popup is being displayed, will only register one request in the queue, and when it comes time to display the Message Popup will display the last requested copy. The ‘Notification’ Popup on the other hand, is set to queue every instance as this message has more specific details. Feature Overview: * Display of Title and Description text, * Dynamic Auto-sizing to fit content, * Feature specific icon support, * Optional playing of a sound file on popup, * FIFO Queuing of Popup Requests, * Batching Popup Requests (Removal of duplicates requests), * Optional click description to trigger event,
