An update to my demo - how to combine transparency AND resizability. Check it out. Skin loading is now 50% faster thanks to using a cache file for storing region (transparency) data. For a complete app that's based on this code, go to: http://kewlpad.deviantart.net Home of kewlpAd - The skinnable notepad.

This code restrict the window size using a subclassing dll (Created by people from www.vbaccelerator.com). It consumes the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message. You can restrict the minimum and maximum tracking width and height. Also, you can restrict the maximized window left, top, height, width. I've wrote the code in a class for reuse.

This is an update to my previous version of the Circular Progressbar. Improvements include "Rainbow style progress" and different directions of which the progressbar can progress. The jpg has bad colors and makes the rainbow look bad, download it, it looks better than what it shows. Try it, and don't forget to vote!

Allows events when a mouse enters and leaves a client area of a control, so you don't have to use a timer to constantly check the position of the mouse (inefficient, and bad coding), useful for creating hyperlinks, hotspots, etc... Utilizes a class for ease of use and strict API for maximum efficiency and speed

Complete ListBox tutorial all on one form! I included the following features of the ListBox control: Loading from file/Saving to file Delete Item Add Item Find Item Multi Selection Stuff: Remove selected items Copy selected items Select all items De-select all items Note: The file that is used for the file loading procedure is included in the .zip file. It is called Names.txt . Try adding lines to this file or even changing the code to open C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI

Adds a control to your form at run-time. Does not use control arrays or the Load statement. Control does not even need to be referenced. NO API.

Ok I didnt CREATE this but I did OPTIMIZE it and make it into a COMPLETE control, the gentelmen that made it slips my mind but it was like yesterday i think, anways using the VB accelerator ssubtmr.dll and this control allows you to LIMIT the form size of as MANY forms as you want in a single project. Its quite nice, give it a try! PLEASE VOTE! :O) UPDATED....... No Need for SSubTmr6.DLL I decided it would be ALOT easier for Newer guys to use this if they didnt have to worry about distributing a DLL so... I just sorta built the DLL Code into the Control.... ENJOY!!

The simplest (as few as three lines of code needed!) and best code to implement explorer-style splitter bars

Write text using a laser effect, choose laser color and write color too! I got the idea for this when I saw the laser program that someone made that drew a picture. This works awesome, and it looks cool. See the screenshot!

Based on my earlier Laser Writer, now you can write text with a laser effect, choose the font, and fade the text pixel by pixel. Check out the screenshot!

This program draws a circle gradient wherever you click on the picture box. It uses the point that you clicked as the origin, and you choose your own colors and custom colors.

Click and drag on the screen, and it makes a box that copies everything inside of it. Then you can save it, or take new shots. Great for taking pictures of your programs when listing them on PSC.

REAL C++ CONTROLS IN YOUR APP!!! Do you know the code "Real C++ Buttons" by Randy Mcdowell? It sends a message to a VB Button to make it a "C++ Button". But if you look at this button with Spy++ you will see that it is still a "ThunderCommandButton", the VB Button. My code lets you use EVERY C++ control in your app!!! And these controls are REAL C++ controls!!! Think of the fantastic controls you can have: e.g. the cool hotkey control. Or what about a "real" RICHEDIT control? The only limitation is your fantasy! Control events are also supported. Well commented, and easy to use even if you don't understand everything that happens. The second version of this code, now with tutorial and some new stuff. Have fun with this code, use it in your app, and if you like it VOTE FOR IT!!!

This code shows you how to place an own CommandButton into the Titlebar of your program. Great for special commands in your app. Easy to implement and a cool thing that will impress your users. Enjoy! AND VOTE FOR ME! To users of WinNT4 or Win2k: I am sorry I have to tell you that this code won´t work on your system. That might be because NT Technology has got a higher security level and doesn´t allow this program to hook windows.
