Add a background picture to the standard textbox control. Using subclass,and only tested on win2k, maybe not work on win98. i know there is a bit flicker or other bugs, but i think this could be an idea to improve your user interface. Still many things left for you to do, such as wrapping it into a ActiveX control.

beatblaster is a complete audio player. It supporst several advanced features such as skinning. All though not complete, it demonstrates the BitBlt API call, and the somewhat confusing ListView control. Included is a custom DLL, FileAssocLib, which simplifies the regisrtation of file types. This code is avalible for download on PSC. If you learn anything, or like the app, a vote would be most appricated.

You just need to set a background picture for the form and specify a transparent color, and then the progrm will make up all for you. It will scan the picture, get rid of the transparent color pixels,generate rect region for every line and combine them. Finally the form will be set to exactly the same shap as the picture outline. Don't worry abuot the speed, it's always less than 1sec (but don't tell me you are running win95 on 486 ^_^). Note it only support 8bits bitmap now, if you want to extend the program's ability, please reference the MSDN for discuss about pixel format. There are also some win2k api declaration included for making translucent form, just remove the relevant code if you don't need the effect or dont't have a win2k. ---------------------------------------- Hello man, i have updated this program to support every pixel formats, taking the advantage of the windows DIB. Special thanks www.vbaccelerator.com for their great class - "cDIBSection.cls".

Have you ever noticed that your computer's clock isn't very accurate? If so, then this code is for you! This program automatically connects to the U.S. Naval Observatory's atomic time server, and retreives the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It then examines your system's time zone settings and daylight savings time settings, adjusts the UTC time based on those settings, and then updates your system time. Depending on your network connection, this program will always set your system clock to within 0.5 seconds of the actual atomic time!

Very simple code that using the Internet Explorer OCX and the Dictionary.com to translate words (English/English). Useful as application and you might learn something from the code (even though there is not much of it).

Uses CallByName to set properties of objects. Could be used in a scripting engine.

This is a program that has various ways of unloading a form... some ways are: shrink 1, 2, 3 expand 1, 2, 3 diagonal UpperRight,UpperLeft,LowerRight,LowerLeft Bounce Up,Down,Left,Right Slide Up,Down,Left,Right and a few more.. My coding is clean and uses No Timer. Free for anyone to use.. easy to understand vote for me if you like this code I enjoy feed back Thank you for looking at my programm I hope this helps some people

This code is incomplete but demonstates the proper way to use the Event Log API's, mainly ReadEventLog(). I found no help anywhere on the Net so when I figured it out I thought others may find it useful as well.

In my endeavor the make a weather program for my computer that would scroll weather information, I came to make this code. I was looking for a place to scroll the information without bothering any other programs and without the form taking focus. I was looking for the perfect place. I found it but it was of course occupied by something else. That something else was the task tray (Those small little icons and the clock in the bottom right hand corner of most windows computers). Well I said to myself how shall I take that area. I thought I would simply shape my form to that of the trays window. Then make my form a child of that window and set it's position to the topmost. Well my idea was correct and it works perfectly. You can use this technique for any window, it is far less involved then many other attempts witch require sub-classing. The window will resize to the RECT of the tray when the Task bar is resize and or moved and call the form to repaint also. I hope all of you can get something useful out of this I know have. *NEW* YOU can now resize the tray by doing a call ResizeTray (Number to resize by, A 1 or a 2 for either making it larger or smaller) So call resizetray 11,1 would add eleven icons to the tray and call resizetray 11,2 would subtract eleven icons

Now Here is an Updated version of WINAPI Class. Now the code is completely remarked so that you know to use each and every function in this class without any difficulty. This also teaches you a lot of Creating and Using Classes. You get to know a little about Object Oriented Programming (OOP). This class is an indispensable tool for any programmer. This WinAPI class has a large no. of functions useful in everyday programming. For example, this Class has functions to Find Files in folders, all the operations with Registry, Disk Space and Volume information, Play Audio CD's, Extract Icons from EXE Files, Change the ToolBar Style, Enable Hotkeys for your Apps, Hide or show a Window, Make a window Transparent, Set the Desktop Wallpaper, Show or Set the Computer Name, Show Recycle Bin, Detect Sound Card, Set system Work Area, Show or Hide the Mouse, Change or Retrieve the Mouse Position, Enable Menu Bitmaps, Have your program's own Icon in tray which act as a quick access to your program, Open a website, Start the screensaver , Enable Autorun for a range of drives of your choice, Clear the Document List in Start menu or add an Item to it, Show or Hide the Windows TaskBar, Delay your program for a specified no. of seconds or minutes, Disable Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Shutdown, Restart or Log Off Windows and much, much more!!. I can guarantee that this class will be very useful to you whatever is your experience level. Enjoy VB Programming!!!. If you like the code please vote for me.

So, yet another Player from Greece with many feautures. It has everything (basic track and playlist handling,equalizer, VU meter, System tray mode and other stuff) except Id3 Tag handling (almost ready for my next submission) and skins. I've never added skins or stuff like that but it works pretty well (and this is the most important thing). Some of it's code was taken from various places on the internet so thank everybody for helping. Please rate me (it means a great deal to me) whether if it is a bad or a good rate number.

Sorry gyes......I couldn't add the GREATE screen shot because it won't let me upload it. But it should be added soon. Please read this and leave a comment and a vote. Thanks :-) Black Dream is a really good client application, which connects to a server which can be hidden on peoples computers. Theirs many features involved with this application, from changing someones wallpaper without them knowing to downloading and uploading files to thier computer. This program features options under....Keyboard, mouse, system, file/directory, fun, run, registry, control, server, modem, key logging, computer information and lot's more!!! I've added about 110 command codes which can be sent from the Black Dream client to the secret server but not added them in because ether their to hard to understand or it just wouldn't fit.......PLEASE TRY RUNNING THIS AND TESTING IT ON YOUR LOCAL IP 127.0.0.1. Run the server, you will not be able to see anything because it's a secret server... The run the Black Dream client and connect or scan the local IP address for the server. When it finds it connect and try out some of the super commands in their. CHECK OUT THE SCREEN SHOT!!!! AND LEAVE A VOTE AND COMMENT...Thanks :-) The only things this is missing is the start up code for when the user restarts the computer the servers meant to hide and run (Also I didn't add the hide in ctrl, alt, del for the server) But it's greate try it out.

This Tutorial will allow you to use Visual Basic Compiler Directives such as #IF..#Elseif..#Else..#End If and #Const to create more robust and maintanable code.

If you like the code please vote.***

This program allows a person to see everything thier phone number can spell, so that they can easlily make mnemonic devices for each other.

This is the first (to my knowledge) 3D Starfield on PSC.VB. You can learn the equations for converting 3D coords to 2D coords, such as the ones used in this source code. My next project is a full blown 3D modeler... right after I learn raytracing.
