This user control is intended to mimic the ChasingArrows control that one finds in RealBasic(R) for the Macintosh. The purpose of this control is to show the user of your program that the program is either busy or is doing something in the background. It gives the user the piece of mind that the program hasn't frozen while thinking. It basically sits on a form and spins in a clockwise pattern indefinately. The control includes a property called "Enabled" which can be set to either True (it will spin) or False (it sill stop wherever it is). This will not spin during design time.

This control can be included in any program that you wish without notifying us, unless you will be selling your program for any ammount of currency. I do not charge for this control; I simply want to know where it's going. Please respect Copyrights!

Update 06Jan06 (v1.33) – Minor bug fix in the DialogMsg when DialogType = ucFolder Updated UserControl and TestHarness. As a developer, one of the most mundane tasks I frequently encounter is the wiring-up and managing of the CommonDialog Controls. The ucPickBox has been designed as a lightweight (~80kb), drop in place, API implementation of the CommonDialog Controls which takes much of this hassle away! ucPickBox provides Color, Font, Open (Single / Mutlifile), Save and Print dialog support, while providing a clean GUI to display the results for both 3D and Flat visual styles. In addition, this UserControl exposes 44 Properties, 14 Methods, 13 Events, and 88 Dialog Flags as enumerations which makes it flexible and easy to use. Among the exposed function are handy tools like: ExractPath, ExtractFilename, FileExists, LongToHexColor, QualifyPath, TranslateColor, and TrimPathByLen. The enclosed project provides an extensive test-harness and documentation to explore the many facets of this UserControl. Enjoy!

ucXTab UserControl is a self-contained (single file), self-subclassed (uses Paul Caton’s subclassing thunk) version of the XTab control submitted to PCS by Neeraj Agrawal. This control contains all of the key features of the original XTab control, but has been extensively reworked to utilize all GDI API drawing and updated subclassing techniques. ucXTab contains 5 tab themes (Windows 9x, Windows XP, VisualStudio, Rounded, and Galaxy), and two tab styles (traditional tabs, property page) which are fully customizable. In addition, key supported features are: dynamic tab addition/removal, adjustable tab heights, mouse-wheel tab scrolling, 14 customizable color properties, tab images, tab image alignment, ImageList support, accelerator key support, and theme detection. The number of properties, methods and events are too extensive to list; however, most of these can be explored fully with the provided test harness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update 14Nov06 (v1.0.85) – Now supports dynamic tab Insertion, Removal, and dynamic control addition for ANY tab via InsertTab, RemoveTab, and AddControl methods, respectively. In addition, ucXTab now supports per tab ControlBoxes which allows the user to close individual tabs similar to IE7 & FireFox. In support of the new features are 7 additional events to track Enter, Exit, Hover, MouseDown and MouseUp for the ControlBox, along with Insert and Remove Tab events. Previously reported (and unreported) graphical bugs have been fixed, and the test harness extended to test the new features. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 20Dec06 (v1.0.130) – Exposed support for dynamic Individual Tab Enable/Disable states, Updated Enabled property to paint the tab headers, body, and ControlBox correctly. Added TabOffset property to allow the developer to select the Left offset used for the “Tab” functionality. Added additional subclassing shut down support to handle host object closure prior to unsubclassing. Updated the test harness to illustrate the new functionality. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 11Mar07 (v1.0.152) – Added support for the 3 native Luna theme colors (NormalColor [Blue], HomeStead [Olive Green], and Metallic [Silver]) under xThemeWinXP TabTheme. Added additional Enabled/Disabled painting refinements for both the UserControl and individual Tabs. Fixed minor ControlBox painting bug. Fixed ControlBoxExit event bug which incorrectly fired on MouseHover. Enjoy, TerriTop
ucMsgBox is a single-file UserControl which uses Paul Caton’s self-subclassing thunk to provide the ultimate control over the System MsgBox. This control allows the developer to Change/Set the Startup Alignment (CenterScreen, CenterOwner), Prompt Alignment (Left, Center, Right), Fonts, Icons (Native + Custom), BackColor, and ForeColor. In addition, the Theme state of the MsgBox dialog is customizable and supports Auto, Win9x, and WinXP button Themes. Moreover, ucMsgBox provides the mechanism to turn any MsgBox into a SelfClosing dialog with countdown enumeration. To provide accuracy of the countdown, one can set the ThreadPriority to allow for high resolution timing. In short, this UserControl takes the standard MsgBox to a new level with out changing one line of code for standard MsgBox calls!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------(Update 16Mar07 – v1.0.240) Fixed minor bug in the SetProcessPriority Method, Added support for all default WinXP Luna Styles (Blue (Blue), Olive Green (HomeStead), Silver (Metallic).

So if your looking for an alternative to the native controls, and don’t have time to build your own, then check out this little ditty…TerriTop
ucTimer is a self-subclassed API timer control which is polymorphic to the native VB Timer control. This drop in place control provides all the functionality of the native control, along with setting of process priority and timer directionality (i.e. CountUp or CountDown). This UserControl, which was loosely fashioned after the count down timer of ucMsgBox (PCSID: 67387), is an attempt to solve the single file issues described in Paul Mathers VB Timer submission (PCSID: 3596). Hope this is of use.…..Enjoy! TerriTop
