Results for "Category: Custom Controls/ Forms/ Menus"

I often find myself in need of a listbox in applications in which I don't use forms. I couldn't find anything on PSC (which would have saved me some time), so I just wrote my own. This is just a simple listbox class, no events, no confusing, never ending functions, just plain, simple VB code (I haven't used any APIs :D). The class is very small (only 2.3 kb). Also, this class can have more than 32767 items, because I've used Longs, and not Integers (like the VB listbox). V1.2 New features (since V1.0): --V1.1: 1) alphabetically sorting (module by Rde) 2) Add items somewhere in the middle of the list 3) Transport the list to a control (build-in textbox/listbox/combobox support) 4) Events --V1.2: 5) Search 6) Import from and export to a file 7) Encryption/decryption* *The encrypting/decrypting doesn't work very well. I'm not really an expert on encrypting/decrypting, so if anyone can (re-)write this for me... :D

Teaches you how to make runtime-only properties

**Not an another big stack of controls**. This is an accurately build ownerdrawn, sizable, lightweight (not in code) calendar control with 'Dropdown' , 'List' mode and as beautiful as my girlfriend. The calendar is provided with unique form animation and eight different color-themes. The calendar if fully customisable with wide range of color options. A fresh technique is used to show the dropdown calendar. A help form is also included to understand the functionlity easly. Hope you all like it. Jim Jose ;-))

Upgrade on a request from PSC. Optimized version for creating animated tray icon. You can ADD... DELETE... MODIFY... tray ICON with TOOLTIP. Simple module with minimal code... Highly recomented, error free code. Feel free to ask me, if you have anu questions... Jim Jose ;-))

[Optimized for simplisity...] This is a simple tooltip generation code, specialy designed for ur UNSUBCLASSED projects. This code does not requires subclassing and can be used for any controls on the form. You have Balloon type and Plain type tooltip. The TextColor and BackColor are customizable. The same code is suited for usercontrols also. May u find it useful Jim Jose :-))

Released version 1.19, with balloon tooltip (See screenshot) > Features : Owner draw, List mode, PopUp mode, PopDown mode, Datepicker compatable, SpecialDay information (like national holydays), Auto regional settings with language detection, Custom tooltips, Month selection view, Unicode supported, Today button, User defined Calendar size, Fully cutomizable color options, Eight differnt color themes, Unique animation technique, Custom DateFormat, Custom FirstDayofWeek and more... The main factor which makes this control unique is , it is 'Owner-draw'. The dead-line version uses subclassing the parent form and calendar can show even out side the form. It has got "ListMode' and 'PopUpMode'. The calendar can show 'Special days' like national holydays special events (you can customize these for your native calendar). It supports all the languages even the unicode languages like chinese, Japenese...etc. The calendar is provided with full range of color options with eight different color themes. It has unique form animations which realy smooth and gives a pleasent appearance. The McCalendar can be used as a standard date picker by it's datepicker compatable procedures. All over this calendar is fully sizable and stylish. Thanks to all those coders who helped me in building this useful control with their comments, suggessions and code. Hope U all like it: Jim Jose :-))

Added features... 1) Horizontal ScrollBars 2)Drive's Label 3)New tree view line style : McListBox 3.2 is the hybridized version of ListBox,FileList,FolderList,DriveList,FileBrowser(with filter) and FolderBrowser. The control will extract the true icons (16*16,32*32) , such that the items will have the same icons that the explorer is showing. The FileBrowser and FolderBrowser modes are auto-responding... ie you can open the folder by DbClicking on the list item. Apart from the previous version, in the new version it is not neccessay that you REFRESH the control to show the items, the List will be automatically refreshed. The control is more than 4 times faster than vb's ListBox. I am submitting this as a new post, bcose I wish to keep the old (Listbox only) version as it is. Features includes... Item completer, Subclassing, Api scrollbars, XP style, Mouse wheel, high Performance, Ownerdrawn, Stylish, Multi-line selection, Custom list-icons, Item Highlighting, Unicode support, Adjustable RowHeight, List Sorting, Grid lines and nice Gradient effects. Try it and feel free to comment... HAVE A NICE TIME!!! Jim Jose :)

Creating a nice animated menu made from different forms...

A transparent window which stays on the top of the desktop icons and allows you to click them. At the current stage you can only click/dblclick on the icons, but don't forget -- this is just the first version. In the next release you will be able to manipulate all windows in the sysem. Please vote for me if you like the code and its conception! :-))

The code demonstrates the functionality of one of the most widely used window common control - the tree view control.

This is an example of subclassing a window, and moving it around using another form. It's set up to use as a custom form border that is translucent, resembling the Aero effects of Vista. For the example I subclassed notepad to have the Vista style translucent border, though you could apply it to any window.

Pretty much this is an Win XP style menu that Fades in and out alos includes the Drop Shadow Effect. It still could have alot more work done on it. I made this because the "Plane" style menus just wasnt cutting it, and I would like my menu to semi match the rest of my programs. Hope this helps. Please vote
