This is truly access like combo box that support keyword and hot-tracking.this is also good exmpal for hottraking in MSGrid
An ExplorerBar, just like WinXP has! It's compitable with WinXP, but in Win9x also (but classic style will be used). No custom images are used, all with Api. It's flickerfree! For transparant images it only supports .ICO files. You can add a normal group, special group and a details group. All can have a background and a bigicon. The normal and special items can have sub items, the details group only text. Have fun!############################################# Updated! A bug fixed: when it was collapsed the Click mouseicon showed up. ############################################# Another update: Now Paul Caton's Subclassing, so the timer is gone. And a scrollbar when the usercontrol is too small!
Scrollbar with XP style. Support for Windows Xp Color scheme: Blue, Olive Green and Silver. The usercontrol prepared to replace standard scrollbar with custom scrollbar with XP style. I hope this controls usefull for your application.
See the screenshot. You can use this date picker easily in your forms without ocx. It's recommended to use the minimum of ocx because of deployement of your application.
Reuploaded, last post is not accessible ??? I found a big bug concerning the recovery function now is working right, please if you are using and old version replace it. Major rewrite, additions and bug fixes, added support for windowless projects, class arrays windows 9x balloon, 3 new methods to load icons from resource files, from files and to extract them from dlls, exes. Fixed the balloontimeout and problems with popup menus. Better examples, add no window example, and multiple icons. Ive seen a lot of systray icon codes around here, but this one have everything, all the events including balloon close and balloon click all the properties you need to customize it, and a recovery function that ensure the icon will be shown even after an explorer crash, and is all in single class ready to be added to your projects, it uses LaVolpe and Paul Caton self subclass and callback. Updated: Added balloon timeout/nosound, fix some bugs and modified the recovery function Enjoy it!
When adding images to a RichTextBox ever notice you can only add text to the same line at the bottom side of a picture. Fill in that blank space next to pictures with formated text in a RichextBox. This takes the formated text you type and adds it as picture at your cursor position.
auto complete the text in a combo box from the combo box list and shows the list item as selected
VB6 apps cannot easily access something called Tabs unless you either use the common control ocx (a dependency) or by using pages of API. This simple tab control is indeed a very simple control that has the core functionality of the common control tabs.
Do you want a small and efficient slider control for use in your applications? This custom made control is very small and does exactly what a slider does.
Some time ago I found at PSC a great code made by Alain van Hanegem of a Speedo Meter and a VU Meter class control. The code was great, very useful and one of the best codes I've found here at PSC, but it takes lots of time to configure and customize, and also it is a little difficult for begginers. Thinking on that, I've made the ActiveX UserControls for these meters, and I tried to put on it all the potential of the original class control. It has tons of properties and is much easier and faster to configure. If you are a begginner, I really suggest you at least take a look on my code, but if you didn't have any problems using the original class control, I suggest you to continue using it, because it is lighter, faster (I guess) and uses less PC Resorces. Once again thanks Alain van Hanegem for the incredible original code and allowing me to post these UserControls. Please post any comments and suggestions!
Very good method to Restrict input in a Text box. This will allow only certain valid characters to be typed in a predefined format in the text box.
i created this for my skinnable mp3 player.You can create your own display style very fast with a size as you want.All you need is to set the width and height of the number.The code is very small and it's easy to understand.Please vote if you find this usefull.sorry for my english.. :)
I was looking to get xp style dtpicker for my project. I was surprised that no controls on internet could satisfy my need. My searches got me to 2 closest controls to what I want : 1. NeoCalendar, though this is a cool one (can change background etc), but it couldnt give me xp style that I want and anyway it's not free 2. OsenDtPicker, cool, almost all I want, but his dtpicker couldn't let user to write the date that they want (like true vb dtpicker could), user have to choose if they want to change the date. So, I change OsenDTPicker to get user to be able to input the date manually (without having to choose calendar) and makes this control (which I would like to share with all of u). Currently only blue xp style provided cause it's the only one I need as my project mainly used blue color. Credit goes to Osen Kusnadi as I used his control (osenxpcombobox, osenxpspin, and monthpicker) as the start, and to gonchuki, as I used AButton (or chameleon button ?) for the xp style button
The messagebox can be closed automaticly.
This will allow you to sort a specific set if list items in a list box or combo box in either ascending or descending order. For example, in Windows Movie Maker, you will see a combo box containing a list of files in the current project plus other items at the top such as collections, effects, etc. These items are not sorted but are at a fixed position and the list of files is sorted.

A textbox with XP Style + Firefox ClearText and Icon buttons. When the control got the focus, it changes the border color. When you click the close button, its clear the text. With the ArrowClick and IconClick events, you can make what you think! Have the CloseClick event too. You can change the icon with some icon on your disk or other control that have the .picture property. Have AutoSelect. If you set the AutoTab = True, when Len(.Text) = .MaxLenght, the control gives the focus to the next control in tabindex. RoundCorners Property. When you set .Enabled = False, the text and the background don't change color to gray! CloseButton, the Arrow and the Icon have individuals tooltips. If .EnterGotoNextTab = True, when you press key 13 (Enter), the focus is given to the next control in tabindex. -------------------------------------------------- New features: * The x button and the Icon have individual .Visible Property, so the textbox can have the both, only one of them, or none. * Align, Alignment, Passwordchar, BorderStyle Property. * ColorBack, ColorArrow, ColorText, ColorBorder Property * OnFocusColorText, OnFocusFont, FocusColorBorder, OnFocusBorderStyle * Some bugs fixed * Common Events + ArrowClick, ClearClick, IconClick, MouseEnter and MouseLeave * InputType (None, Letters, Numbers, Numbers and Letters, Custom) * CharSet (LowerCase, UpperCase and ProperCase) I hope that you can enjoy!
