This application shows you how to implement scrolling credits. There are two different demos: top to bottom and left to right. You can click on the credited individual to send him/her an e-mail.
Sunero ActiveZoomer is an application, which is similar to the Windows 2000 zoom application… It has the following features… + It shows a zoomed image of the screen, using the mouse position. + Completely Flicker – Free + Uses API + Zooms according to the size of the window + Stays on Top i.e. above all the windows (including the start menu) + Specify area to be zoomed All this and more in this incredible app! PLEASE VOTE !!! :o)
Similar to Winzip (without the compression tho) it complies many files into one file. double clicking on the basket icon (check screenshot) minimises and maximises the App (which is always on top) - You drag files to the basket or listview and it adds them to the list. You can then compile the list...A nice bonus, is that you can drag files from anywhere in explorer, add them to the list, and then drag them out of the list to copy it elsewhere. Please remember that this is a very early version of what this app will be able to do. I'm already half-way through a compression algorithm - and when i'm finished that, and other features, i'll submit - ver. 2. It also has some basic file association attached, to open the files with the app. I would really apprectiate comments and criticisms (and of course votes), to see if i'm on the right track. So please take the time? Any probs (i'm sure there will be) - darrynb@digitalmall.com >:) tnx everyone... P.S - Thanx to whoever wrote/submitted the assosiation Mod which i used...
Ever tried puting a menu on a form with a skin? It puts a title bar at the top. With my code you can put menus on forms that you don't want to have the regular title bars on. I used some code from PSC on my skins. This is really good code. Please give it a good rating and leave feedback.
RRCalc by Robert Rayment: (UPDATE Now stays on top) Not another calculator I hear you say. But I have this one on my Office bar and find it easier to see and use than the MS Standard calc. It has the usual numbers and arithmetic operators plus square root, square, reciprocal and pi; memory clear, store, add and recall along with a window showing what's in memory. All the buttons can be operated with the mouse or the keyboard. The zip file is 31KB.
This App. shows you how to use skinz in your applications, Open files for Append, Save and Load Data, Do Logging, Give forms a custom shape, Apply security to your applications, Allow forms to stay at top most, Drag a form without a titlebar, Read, Write, and Delete entries to an *.ini file, Have error handling in your app and much, much more. Great for a beginner to intermediate programmer. Please leave comments and/or suggestions.
How would you like to have your own About menu option on the little system menu on the top left-hand corner of your form. I whould , so I wrote a module to do it with one line of code from the Load event on my form. For this code to work you have to create a About form first (FRMAbout).
Yet another update. This time I added the "friend tracker", basically just a notify lists to see who's on. I added support for hyperlinks, so you can right click addresses and it will shell to them. The taskbar will now notify you when an inactive window has new data. Fixed a few bugs. A few of the options work now, and save. There is a "debug" window, which just displays all incoming and outgoing data. You can move both the toolbar and taskbar to the top or bottom. That's about it I think, enjoy.
Populates form area with labels, using the 'unoccupied space' concept, instead of intersection. Any added item, while populating the screen, takes a cell from the 'unoccupied space', resulting in a much faster process than intersection. Nice to see. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ idea proposed by Gunnar g68_se@yahoo.se, SECOND EMAIL: Pietro, one more thing: What i really, originally was thinking, was to be able to 1. Press a button, and choose a number to allocate, let's say 20 labels, then 2. Press the button again if one likes, and chose another number to allocate, let's say 12. .. .. 3. Press (any) more times, until the MaxObjectIndex is reached (or, when it's not possible to allocate more without collision). And then the question (from my earlier mail) would come (yes/no/cancel). The program would know from the first time, where to find the "unoccupied space". I guess this would take some kind of storing the occupied spaces or something if i should be able to use the code, it has to be done with (invisible) objects placed at design-time (100), not loaded :) I wish you many votes at PSC, i know you got mine ! /Gunnar. FIRST EMAIL WAS (which originated my post: How to allocate HUNDREDS rectangles (labels, images...) without overlapping, no API!): Hello Pietro ! I was studying your excellent code-example of the rectangle-Intersections. I got inspired by it, and i have a problem in my application, but i do not know how to code it, i was thinking maybe you could help me. * I have an array of labels * I also have a function to place the labels out randomly over the screen Private sub Place_Labels Dim lIndex As Long Randomize timer For lIndex = 0 To cmd.Count - 1 cmd(lIndex).Move (Rnd * (ScaleWidth - cmd(lIndex).Width)), (Rnd * (ScaleHeight - cmd(lIndex).Height)) Next End sub This procedure sometimes places the labels "on top of eachother". 1) I would like to add some code to prevent collisions, so that every labels is placed on a separate position. Maybe your code could help me here, but i do not really know how to do this, i think i'd have to go through all of my labels, and check if there is already a label placed there, but i have no idea of how to code this. Can you help me ? thanks in advance ! Best regards from sweden, Gunnar. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This program has been written down in Visual Basic 6. I hope yow like the effort, have fun :)
This code is a must have! It's cooler than the "Cool Form Close" code , cooler than the "Implode and Explode" code! So what does it do? When you close you program a really cool effect will appear. Your form will shrink so just the Titlebar is being showned, then the titlebar accelerates and bounces againt the start menu, goes up in the air, bounces a couple of more times and then disappears behind the Start Menu! Way Cool! This code is a very advanced one but it's really easy to use, try it!!! Includes functions for getting the top position of your start menu and offcourse the bounce code! New for ver. 2 is that the form now can bounce sideways if you edit the code just a little tiny bit, now also supports maximized windows!!!
This is a simple function which smoothly scrolls text in a picturebox. Unlike other entries it only needs one picturebox. Each time the function is called it adds the text to the bottom (or top) of the picturebox and scrolls the rest of the box (without moving the box itself). Used with a timer control it creates a very versatile scrolling routine. It can easily be modified to scroll anything that has an HDC. The font property on the picturebox controls the look of the text. BitBlt api based on code submitted by MO. I used this code for a phone tracking program than needed to constantly scroll incoming call data in a picturebox.
An ActiveX control (OCX) for creating Buttons with attributes unavailable in intrinsic CommandButton control of VB. This UserControl allows (1) label or picture alone on the Button, or both; (2) colored captions; (3) colored backgrounds; (4) positioning picture at top or left of caption, and distance adjustment between them; (5) choices for button appearance (flat, half-raised and raised); (6) option for varying button contents at different states of Button (down, up and over); (7) option to have a staying sunken effect hence you can have both Click and ClickSunken events); and (8) tooltiptext of backcolor and forecolor of your choice. With Property Bag, very simple and flexible to use. Code is also generously commented for those relatively new to ActiveX programming. To test the code, run vbg file.
Centers a form in the part of your desktop not taken up by the taskbar or other system toolbars. If toolbars take up half the screen, no problem. If they are on the sides or the top, no problem.
Just a little fun here, this program display a rotating bitmap in the top right hand corner of the screen while you work!! Click below or on my name to download..
Basic 2D Top-Down RPG Engine. Not fastest or most efficient, but fairly simple to use. Read the Readme.txt for instructions on gameplay.
This is a very small application that makes it obvious when your system has (with or without your knowledge) connected to the Internet. The small on-screen form stays on top when connected but otherwise is quite unobtrusive (sits behind other apps). As it is possible for even commercial applications to connect WITHOUT prompting (they shouldn't but sometimes do), I have found this to be a necessary addition to my desktop. I thought I'd share the little bit of source code I used to create the program. It isn't complex but does use API calls so I've put it in the Intermediate category. Comments/improvements welcome.
This is a realtime ripple of the desktop (see screenshot :)) Makes the bottom of your screen reflect the top in a water like effect... looks kinda cool... If you like it, then please vote. Thnx =)
EliteSpy+ is program for spying windows. You can spy any window and you can manipulate them using the command buttons in Program. You can minimize, maximize, terminate, enable, disable, flash, put on top, etc. This program also contains a code generator which you can use to generate code which will manipulate with the specified window. There is also a list of running process. You can also terminate any process you want. And please vote for this program if you like it!
This little app enumerates your available display settings and shows the current display setting of your monitor. That means the xy-resolution, the colourdepth and the frequency. It also lets you change the current display setting and is able to call the controlpanel-dialog for display settings. Please make sure that your monitor suports the settings to be changed. The app ist developed in VB6 and tested under W2KSP2. The app is not commented, but I think it is selfexplained. Be aware of the fact, that changing the resolution could course a disarrangement of your desktop icons. Choosing a to small xy-resolution could course, that the Change-Display-Settings-Button is not visible and you can't restore the orignal resulotion. That's why I placed this button on top of the form. If you can't get your current resolution back, start windows in secure-mode (or 'saved mode' I do not know the English expression, in German 'Abgesicherter Modus') and restore your display settings.
A circular progress bar/meter usercontrol with the following features: -- Solid color, fading colid color, or gradient blend -- One-, two- or three-color options -- Full-circle or arc of any size from 45 to 359 degrees -- Display value as a colored arc, a 'needle', or both -- Five styles of 'ticks' around edge, spaced however you want -- Display value as number or percentage--any font, color, and position! -- Customizable text shadow, too! -- Change background colors or use AutoMask to make background transparent -- Use custom picture backgrounds and mask pictures for transparency -- Show/hide border, change width -- Show/hide start line when value is zero -- Start at any angle (offset) -- Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise movement -- Change min/max values -- Fully scalable Also demonstrates various API graphics calls, getting the true color of a system color, use of mask color, using custom Enums for user control properties, scaling pictures and masks, and more. See screenshot: -- Large circle ('78') demonstrates a tricolor gradient, text with shadow, and dot-style ticks -- Wide control at top ('64') demonstrates tri-color fade, a 180-degree arc, hollow-dot ticks, needle, inset control border, and the flexibility of text positioning -- Large PSI gauge at right demonstrates custom picture & mask picture -- 'Fuel Gauge' demonstrates custom picture and value as percent -- Quarter circle ('53') at lower-left demonstrates 90 degree arc, box ticks, a bi-color fade, counter-clockwise motion, automask (it doesn't overlap the large meter) and custom shadow placement -- 'Wooden' meter near bottom demonstrates a 140-degree arc, offset angle, and custom picture as full background -- Black meter near bottom demonstrates border and line-style ticks with no background, and the effect of a tri-color fade where the start- and midcolors are the same (white) and the end color is different (red) -- Pink meter ('42') in center demonstrates the Automask by overlapping it's neighbors, and a tricolor fade where the start and end colors are the same but the midcolor differs. -- The reddish meter near the bottom ('65') demonstrates blends using system colors (in this case from ButtonFace to Highlight with ActiveTitleBar color as needle) -- Tiny meter inside PSI gauge demonstrates another use of Automask Enjoy! I welcome all comments, and please vote if you liked it or learned from it! Thanks! (UPDATED 3/24/2004: Fixed 'gap' on very small meters at some resolutions, Removed bug that caused crash when properties do not reload properly in IDE)
