Installs a system wide hotkey which triggers the HotkeyPressed event whenever the chosen hotkey combination is pressed - regardless of whether your application has the focus or not. Release 1.0.5 allows the hotkey to be changed at runtime and also to be enabled/disabled.

This is a rich-text-box with a built-in line-number panel on the left. Typical use would be for a script editor language IDE. I Couldn't find a decent one on here that did this, so I spent some time doing it myself, and passing it on for you to use (and improve on, of course). It is a pretty basic control, but I did make into a control so you can just pop it onto a form and go (of course, source code for control is included). You can control the Line Number panel width, backcolor and forecolor, along with all textbox stuff (uses RTF in case you want to use my syntax code colorizer submission). The Line number panel automatically adjusts its font to be the same name/size/etc., as the text box so that they line up properly. Hope you find it helpful - if so, votes are always appreciated (kind of makes me feel like it was time well spent).

I have been tinkering with the Windows API AnimateWindow function, and have wrapped it into a user control, which you can drop onto any top-level window. You simply call the controls CloseAnimation method from the form_unload event, and your window will roll or slide up, down, left, or right, or fade or zoom to nothing. This easy to use control has 2 main properties - the "AnimationEffect", and the "EffectDelay". The included example project here shows how easy it is to use. It seems that this API Function exists in Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP (I was unable to get this to work with Windows 95 or Windows NT). I got varying levels of effectiveness depending on the OS. Keeping the EffectDelay to a minimum (500 or less) usually produces great results. This project has the default delay at 1000 to exagerate the effect, but you should set to 400 or 500 in your projects. Use the "Project1.vbp" to see the example, or include the CoolAnimate.ctl in your project to just use the user control. Hope this is helpful to some of you.

Place this control on a form along with two other controls (text boxes, etc). In the forms Load method, place the following code (this example is for two text boxes... if you can't figure this out, un-install VB from your computer) WESplitter1.LeftChild Text1.hwnd, Text1 WESplitter1.RightChild Text2.hwnd, Text2

Name: prjPanelTest Description: this control is very useful for those who need more space on their forms, you can extend you form space using this control, see example form how to use: 1.- Insert a ISPanel Control in your form 2.- Insert controls in a picture Box 3.- In the Form Load Event call the Attach Function and pass the picturebox as parameter. 4.- In the Query Unload event call the detach Function Notes: the Control Captures the events of the Picturebox, so if you resize the picturebox, the control adjust the scrollbars. Also, if you resize the ISPanel control, it adjust his properties Feedback and Votes are GREATLY appreciated ;)

This is the last Version of the ISPannel Control, A control that allows programmers to extend the aviable space in their forms, adding the posibility of show scrollbars, and now, also select a borderstyle. please leave comments.

Just See the Screenshot!. Have You ever wanted to use in your apps a control like the left bar in the explorer? there are some controls like that on the net, but they have too many dependences. isExplorerBar is a SINGLE FILE CONTROL and has almost NO DEPENDENCES (actually runs without extra dependences in a new VB Project) And uses THE REAL theme apareance or emulates it when no theme data aviable, everything is done in Runtime, using UxTheme.dll (included in WinXP). no extra dll's or subclasing cls modules, a single file control that has everything you need to make your apps look better. I've put a lot of work on this. please donwnload and tellme what you think. I've created a webpage for this control. includes some help, comments and extra info about It. please comments, sugestions and of course, votes are wellcome. ************************************************* Lot Of Updates, Current version: 1.91 Feedback comments, are wellcome.

Lot of controls have Imited XP controls with images or code drawing, This is a small template that will show you how to give your usercontrols XP look, Using the real theme data. Heavily commented and easy to understand, this example only draws a command Button With 2 states: Normal and pressed, that's to make the code easy, but you can easily extend this functionality to more states like hover, defaulted, etc. includes names and ID's for all classes, parts and states for the windows controls. Comments, votes, suggestions, requests are wellcome. Regards. - Fred.cpp

Do you want to change the style of your boring command buttons? try this cuztomizable button, drawn by code, baloon tooltips, 10 Visual Styles( winXP, Office XP, Mac OSX and more!), customizable caption and icon align and more!

I needed to use windows xp (32-bit alpha icons) icons in my vb app, but vb does not supports them. one day I found a example on vbaccelerator, the vbaccelerator example was fully working but I found one problem with it. the example shown at vbaccelerator needed we should make a Resource Script, in other words the resource file should be manually made. this article shows how you can use xp style icon for the follwing conditions: 1. without using resource at all or without breaking you existing resource file. Plese Vote If You Found this Usefull.
