I made this for my collection of small games! (made with BitBlt)

This code will load a picture in mem on form load. Its show how also to do an animation with bitblt. Loading it in memory not only makes fps faster but the program itself.

This is my attempt to make a chess program. The AI still needs a lot of cooking but the UI is done and it knows most rules (read the attached F.I.D.E. Laws Of Chess). Don't try yet to play against the computer - you will win :-) or worse - the program may crash. I myself am a below-average chess player, so I cannot say anything about the program's strenght or style of play. Time limit does not work properly, so give it say 6 or 12 seconds thinking time, more will make you wait virtually forever... Problem solving works though, I think. Unfortunately PSC does not let me upload Gradient.OCX or MsgHook.OCX, so you will have to delete all references to them. Also the TTF Amaze is not uploadable, just substitute another nice looking font for it. The piece images were copied from RJSoft's Chess Program, with his permission. Enjoy.

While searching for a way to repair a corrupted database file, that couldn't be fixed with just Repair and Compact, i found this undocumented option that prooved to repair and optimize my database file. Read the whole article. Any comments or feedback are welcomed.

This article provides information about the Windows security system and the restrictions that you can use to limit functionality.

It took me about 8 hours to make this, I got the cpu code from somewhere a while ago and made a lot of changes and added a lot. It is fully done and has a lot of options. It shows how to get cpu usage for all versions of windows, how to write and delete from the run section of the reg., shows how to read and write form a inf file, and also shows how to use the systray. Also shows how to position forms and a lot of other little stuff.

Have you ever wanted to make windows give your program a larger slice of time??? Windows is setup to give each program its own slice of CPU time, some programs are of higher importance, ie.. system, file i/o, etc...Some like Screen Savers are lower. The higher the priority the more likely that it will receive the CPU time it needs. This Module will allow you to change the Priority Level of your Programs when you need to make sure that you are getting enough CPU time during heavy loads. The module can be reused in any program, and the Form simply shows what the module is capable of. The source code is Fully commented, and an explaination of the Priority levels is included in the module. The picture shows the Windows Task Manager from Win XP, and if you right click on a process it will allow you to change the Priority. This module does the same thing only progmatically. Win 9x does not have the processes tab, but you can still use this module on those systems. This is compatible with Win95 & Up and WinNT 3.1 & up.

That code was created by Brad Martinez from http://www.mvps.org (Copyright © 1997-1999) i just compiled it to VB6 Sp4 and made a little adjustment. This code use a listview to simulate a control with a treeview and listview like this one we see on Kazaa or Morpheus. Enjoy.

Capture Events from all your instances of Internet explorer. Modify Browser properties through the exposed collection, cancel annoying popup windows or simply spy on a users browsing habits.

I was impressed with the encarta UI, and i love the way they show the content in a frames that change the color when the mouse is over.....well tell me simple but i liked so i decided to make it, this is my second control and hope you like it, i wanna hear your comments ppl. The next version will include support for menus (soon), if you have encarta, you know what i mean, if not...wait a few until i finish it!!!!

This is just a basic 4 function Calculator. It is my first program in Visual Basic. Comments/Ratings would be great. I would like to see where I stand. Thanks! :)

When a user moves the mouse over a node in the treeview, the node is highlighted and the node text value can be passed. In the example, I pass the value to a text box.

This code helps you to create reg files instead of using the Registry APIs! Got the idea from Alex Wied

This code is based on an originally code found in a MSDN's Bugslayer article written by John Robbins. Of course i had to 'just' translate it to VB which in fact turned out quite nicely and secondly had to find some usage for the such written code. Well, the problem of customizing VB DTPicker in MS Windows Common Controls 2 has bugged me for years now and viola, totally hacked GetLocaleInfo is my answer. Probably these two events happened in reverse order but nevermind;-)) Speaking of purpose, another cool thing will be to intercept DrawFrameControl api function and for instance swap the arrows of every scrollbar in your application ;-)) Now, for the serious stuff -- try as an excercise to get those arrows on the DTPicker work correctly under win 2k -- they tend to draw incorrectly when depressed, anyone else noticed this problem? And while on the DrawFrameControl topic someone might try to fix the freaking Microsoft Windowless Controls .ocx. It has all sort of drawing problems -- most noteably scrollbars and dropdown arrows.

Introducing:AutoMousie ,Exclusively created for the use on http://www.pogo.com.(where about 192,000 users are hiding). Does'nt click on any ads during intermission ( without having to use any ad-killers ). My Code is Completely Commented. This is truly a CLICK while you SLEEP! I worked along time on this code before I got it right, So please enjoy it. Please note that Pogo disconnects you after 12 continous hours ( something new they started )

Make Tiles For Your Top Down View Game Easy! Will Continue To Add Features If I Get Votes! Suggestions And Comments Please. If Anyone Would Like To Work With Me On This Project Please Send Me An E Mail.

Have you ever wanted to add Multi-Node Selection to your application? Many people here and in the newsgroups have wanted this feature. Here is a working prototype! Enjoy...

A simple aplication that generates the check number and bar code out of 12 numbers set and explains (hopefully) the algorithm for doing so.

This program makes html code to exe file.

This programm has a collection of 61 compression algorithms and 20 different coders to do al kind of things with the data This program is totally written in VB and makes no use of any DLL This is an exelent programm for someone who want to do something with compression. Some Algorithms can be slow but the most of them are fast enough considdering its only VB. The most commen algoritms are also inplemented like 'Huffman','LZSS', 'LZW','RLE','Aritmatic','LBE' and some of them are 'invented' by me just to see what the results would be. I hope that most of the problems found by users are fixed
