Added New - Fully Functional Screensaver with source using my animation technique! Also added one more new demo - Geometry. Flickerless, Smooth Animation using pure VB with No OCXs, DLLs, ASM or DriectX. Pure VB. This Entry gives you the code that I created and have used in all of my screen savers for years. The code included is pure VB code (with just a few APIs declared and utilized). Most of the code is in the "CodePage.Bas" module. This contains all of the initialization, variable definitions and declarations and animation code. If you like it, give me a vote or two. If I get votes, I'll know you are interested and I'll create a complete documentation package around this. Demos included are... Demo_BouncingBalls.exe - About 30 colored balls bouncing all around the screen (Source included). Demo_BouncingSantas.exe - Bunches of little Santas practicing thier jumping for the upcoming holiday season. Demo_Geometry.exe - Bunches of geometric images floating around the screen. Demo_UFO_ScreenSaver.Scr - Aliens have taken over your desk top. All Demos have full source code in zip format. UFOsaver.scr - A complete, fully functional screensaver using my animation techniques (source included)!!! Thanks. Doug Puckett ( dpuckett@thelittleman.com )

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.

(Now the links are working) Q Navigator Ver 1.1 is an updated form of my Web Browser, which has the best features (and more) of all browsers. a) Better GUI, b) Better looking progress bar, c) Auto complete address, d) Select all, e) Find, f) text size, g) scrolling news, h) source, i) better looking history & favorites, j) mail, k) update, l) internet options etc. etc.: Other than ALL THE FUNCTIONS IN INTERNET EXPLORER, 1.You can store/jot down any required information while browsing, 2.It has a unique SEARCH facility where you can just give the word/sentence to search for and give the preferred search engine (you can choose to search from the best search engines!!!), 3.It has a "links" button that shows the number of links on the web page & the different links on the web page you are viewing, 4.Five configurable shortcut buttons: News, Download, Mail 1, Mail 2, Search, Easily configurable, 5.Scrolling News on the right top side when you are connected to the Internet, without losing any bandwidth 6.The best of all, this browser has a feature to backup and recover all such information when it crashes. When Q Navigator crashes (due to windows problems/software problems / etc.) Just go to Help > Help!!! And run the debug program .You can either Start debug program (in which it replaces corrupt resource files) or Only recover the browser (in which it recovers the lost information / URL's), which is useful for retrieval of lost web pages after crash. IMPORTANT: See "Readme.doc"

Use this include file to catch robot queries to your page and generate the appropriate metatags dynamically. With this code, I have put my site (www.stindustriel.com) in top 10 on Google, Altavista and InfoSeek. Hope you will envoy.

Put an icon in the system tray with popup menus without any ocx or dll. Updated to include the option of having your program be on top of all others, very simple to use. I'm not really worried about votes, but if this code helps someone new to Visual Basic I would like to hear a comment if it's not too much trouble.

This code uses the SystemParametersInfo API to change the work space area of the desktop. You can make you app 'lock' to either top/bottom/left or right of the screen very simply.

This basicly tries to find the small icon for a window (the icon on the top left). Note: it returns the HANDLE to the icon, good for using in API calls. Also, I have looked around and there is NOTHING about this posted anywhere. That is why I'm posting it. (this is part of my current app...)

Updated 8 March. Added the ability to cycle through the menu options on the settings form using the enter key and the up/down arrow keys. Only works when at least one item has the focus which is always the case when the form loads. Also, removed X offset property and implemented Y offset so you can adjust the vertical position of the clock and Volume slider. Also added the ability to adjust the height of the Volume slider. Just didn't need the x property because the control automatically centers on the X axis. As for the Y axis, I wanted to give the user absolute control over placement so I added Carles P.V.'s updown control, with his permission of course, to allow the user to position the clock/slider where they want. They can even be reversed and you can put the slider on top and the clock on the bottom if you want. I also added sound and the tooltip when using the mousewheel to adjust the volume. Still implementing some validation and error handling so don't get too extreme with adjusting the volume slider's height. Also working on some bullet-proof error handling and the addition of date/day display. Keep the suggestions coming...

This will stop anyone from accessing your computer. Compile this into an exe and remember that the password is password - DO NOT forget. If you forget the password then there is no known way of getting back in. You have been WARNED!!! This works by: hiding your cursor so that the unauthorised doesn't know where it is, puts the cursor in the top left corner of the screen and makes it stay there, fools the system into thinking the screensaver is running therefore disabling Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Alt+Tab and the Windows Key. If you put in the password wrong 3 times the system is forcefully shutdown. There is no way of getting round this that I know of without having access to the system in the first place.

I found a calc on PSC, Herman Lui´s, to which I added some functions. Such as, listbox to display your calculations/inputs, print receipt, ability to change layout during runtime. F-key, percentage-key, VAT-key functions. Allways on top. Help and aboutform. The objctive was that the user should be able to operate the calculator by using the keyboard. Of course the mouse works to. This Calculator is aslo included in my Financial Analysis App.

Background coloring tool for shading forms and fading a color from top to bottom. Colors are chosen using a color slider.

I created this control because i couldnt find anything else that created a multi-colum combo(drop down) box. This control is driven off a database query and is fairly straight forward to use. Once you have extracted the zip file into a directory you can look at the file /structure.txt. This file explains the directory structure and where everything is located. I hope you enjoy the control, i know i have seen numerous requests for one. And remember; Please vote! Thank You :) Purpose: The purpose of this widget is: 1. provide a multi column drop down box to users 2. provide a combo box's that doesnt sit on the top of a web browser so menus can flow over the control 3. provide a combo box that can allow user input

This app creates a new button (top right) for each window. This button if clicked on sends the app and all it's threads to the system tray with the correct icon. If you right click on the button, a list of already minimized apps comes up and you can select one and it will be removed from the tray and back to normal (or you can click on the system tray.. either way). If you use it for a day or so, you won't be able to stop using it. Although it is a bit hard to get used to. *UPDATES Since 1.0* ==================== - Multi-thread Windows now supported (ie VB6) - Added 'Balloon' Support for Win2000 users - Added Options Form (not much of an options form though) - Made much better about form - Removed many bugs (thanks for bug reports) - Zip file includes all files (sorry, had files in 2 folders for some reason) * Please leave comments on bug reports if any as I really want to make this app bug free. *

This project downloads multiple files from the Internet(web) simutaneaously. I used multithreads to do it.       You can active up to 20 threads, that is, you can download 20 files at the same time. Or, you can specify how many threads are active to download files. It provides fast downloads.       Just drag and drop or copy and add URL(s) of web page(html page), image(graphic), mp3, zip or any binary/text file from a webbrowser and click Start! It supports http and ftp protocols.       You can open and save the list of download files(and save path) as a file(simple text file) and open the selected URL or downloaded file, using the popup menu which activates when you click the mouse right button on the list box.       The application window can be fully resized. When you exit the applicaition, it saves the form size and window position in the Windows registry. You can put the application window on the top which makes it easy to grab URLs from web browser. When you select or move the mouse over a download item on the list box, its save path will be shown in the status bar and list box tooltip.       I tried it can be a small complete application as I can. The zip file includes full source codes and an executable also.       This is my first upload to this great server. Many persons and their codes contributed to make my project. I really appreciate their efforts. I used and tried Winsock and Inet controls. They are good. But, finally, I found they are not suitable to just download multiple files as fast as possible.       I found I have to use multithread using an API download function. This project is the result of my efforts. I feel multi thread opens new horizon in my programming skills.       I hope my codes help you to control multi-thread or multitasking tasks when you need them.       Please, enjoy my code and program.

This code shows how to simply allow a user to interactively rotate an image in the manner that applications like MS word and adobe photoshop do (sort of). ' This code takes in to consideration three main concepts provided by other authors and ' extends their concepts together, namely ' Steve McMahon Vbaccelerator.com - His code for DIB Processing and Region Mapping is superb fast and without his site, many of us would still be stuck on our first application! Thanks Steve ' Zubuyer kaolin - His PsCode example on rotation (dial i believe) was used for most of the rotation logic, but was modified to handle the rotation point differently (top right as opposed to the center) ' Florian Egal - His excellent library found on PSCode is the best! If you do not have this file (FoxCBmp3.dl is included in the zip) you will need to do a search on planetsourcecode for florian egal or advanced graphics 3.3 on copy the file to your sys32 directory. '' If any one else sees any code that I did not mark as being theirs, please let me know and i will be happy to add their name. ''''Note, this code is not optimized....and is also a very small part of a much bigger project '''' so there is a lot of code in here that is not really needed for the sake of this example, but i am not ripping it out to due time restrictions '''' regardless, I though this was kinda neat so i thought i would share it with th vb community. '''' Obviously, there needs some work on the rotation logic, as it is a little quirky but , you know.....

This is PageBalloon (v 1.1.6), its your very own desktop toy, you can chuck as many balloons onto your desktop as you desire, they are all skin mapped with ex acquaintances of mine. Its a must see, and a good screensaver replacement. they can wrap around the screen to float off the top and come up from the bottom again, they can also be kept ontop at all times. I have improved the movement function a little to cut processing time and speed it up.so download the code, comment on the code, and vote the code!!!

Shows how to dock a statusbar control to the top-left-right-bottom of an mdi form, or make the statusbar detatch from the form and 'float'

I am often guilty of saying to my wife that I'll be on the PC for half an hour... only to get a knock on the door 3 hours later!! Not a happy wife! This alarm clock is the perfect remedy. You set a date/time and it sits unobtrusively on the screen. At the specified dat/time it will raise a message and/or play a WAV and/or execute an app on the alarm time! It's also has some excellent functions in it for file exists, registry save/get setting, wav playing, captionless form drag, stay on top, etc, etc
