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)

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 =)

Wintasks is a program capable of doing hundreds of Windows tasks. Wintasks can: Shut down Windows, restart windows, log off Windows, control open programs, "refresh windows," empty recycling bin, set screen resolution, disable/enable; taskbar, ALT-CTRL-DEL, desktop icons, screen saver. Also Wintasks can send email, recieve email, send "fakemail" (mail under any address), connect/disconnect to internet, open anything in control panel, copy/rename/run files, find: time, date, cpu usage, and length in Windows, secure the computer with a password you can set, find the ***'s in password boxes, enumerate windows, convert keys to ASCII decimal, find files, open Winfiles, Minimize all windows, create Veda designs, open the CD-Rom drive, and auto mouse move. The program can be FORCED on top and stay above screensavers! Wintasks can do all this and MUCH more, within a small form that can be minimized to the system tray! Wintasks has the power to control running applications and to kill viruses! (This is an extremely updated version of the previous Wintasks I submitted) Includes TONS of API and is a great reference if you don't know a certain API calI. Please Vote if you like it!

This is basically for all you prankers out there that want to scare your friends or play jokes on them..In this project I made a Module with Functions that will do many things to your Windows, but never harm it in anyway. Like: Hide/Show or Destroy the Windows ToolBar, Taskbar, Clock, Start Button, Icons in the Systray and more. It also lets you Reboot the Users computer, Restart it, Log Off the windows, and Force programs to close if they don't respond. I also made a Function that will make your Form black and cover the whole screen. Well that may seem simple but If the program is hidden from the Close Dialog box and the Control Alt Delete buttons are Disabled and the TaskBar and Toolbar is Hidden plus if the Form is OnTop of everytihng.. It will definatly scare or drive your friends crazy trying to close the program. On top of that, try to even figure out what happened? You could even put a message on the form saying "Virus Uploaded" or some lame junk like that :) To demonstrate these Functions I put together a "Enter Password" form that will do one or more or all of the Above if the user enters the password wrong 3 times.

This very simple code showes how to use Cos and Sin functions to make GREAT player movment in top-down games. A MUST SEE, explots importaint features of the trigonal system and the unit circle to improve game intraction! :)

If you want to draw a picture or image on desk top .you need this code.It will also decorate you desktop with your choice

Full game. Looks good, clean. Has all the rules of the original game. Complete with an undo play, sounds, .chm Help file with included help file project. All source code and graphics included. Already compiled as well. This is a complete program with all features included already enabled. Very well documented source code for newbies. Nearly every line commented. Next release will have skins and network play, if anyone want's to help just drop me an email. Written with VB6 SP3 and not tried with anything else. Tracks top 5 players along with how many games you have played and your average score.

This code shows make form, modules and how to use command button, pictures, combo box,timers etc. while start learning VB.This code also shows some advanced concepts like running the application in background (system tray) and how to make your form stay on top of all the running applications.

Updated! Very nice command button (ActiveX control) with gradient filling. If client screen color depth is 256 colors or less – looks as regular command button. You can change caption-image order (position) from left to right or top to bottom. When created this control - used two algorithms from www.planet-source-code.com. Want to say personal thank you to: Rocky Clark (Gradient filter algorithm); Manuel Augusto Santos (Emboss filter algorithm). Please rate it! E-mail bugs to SergeyO70@HotMail.com. Feel free to use this control in your application (if you'd like to) as much as you want. If you'll modify it - please leave my name in the About box! Enjoy! PS: (Please rate it)

Greatly simplifies mousepointer control, while at the same time avoiding unnecessary changes (less flicker), and uses DoEvents to assure that the displayed mousepointer changes in a timely manner. -- At the top of any Sub/Function in which you want to control the mousepointer: Dim oMp As CMousePointer -- and -- Set oMp = New CMousepointer -- This will remember the current mousepointer and set the mousepointer to vbHourglass. -- If you actually want to force to vbDefault, as in an error handling Sub/Function, or in cases where you want to set to vbHourglass conditionaly, add: oMp.Houglass = False -- or -- oMp.Value = vbDefault -- You can use the Hourglass or Value properties to change the mousepointer anywhere else in your Function. -- In the exit routine: Set oMp = Nothing -- This will reset the mousepointer to whatever it was on entering the Sub/Function

This is just a little module I threw together... must've been over three years ago. I've used it in nearly all my applications since. It basically takes the application's Command$ string, and turns it into a C/C++ style array of arguments. This is invaluable when writing apps that need to take arguments from the command line. It also has an added method IsSwitch() to find switches in your arguments (like /l, /swap or even complex ones that use pattern matching!) D/L it and give it a try. -- Update 1.6b --: Well, I should've updated this earlier, but oh well. Fixes a problem with IsSwitch(), and re-introduces GetArgs()! GetArgs() is the original method, and allows you to specify not only a custom command-line, but also which arrays you want it to be processed into. -- Update 1.8 --: Ok, this is a pretty big update. It changes the naming scheme of the methods, adds a few, and removes one or two that weren't related. See the top comment for more info. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Update: Added a new print option. This is an address label printer. It was originally created for church use and mass mailings. You can have multiple files to help organize your address; the program will remember the last 4 you have opened. You can search for a specific address in a variety of ways. It allows you to move address from one file to another (one at a time or a selected group) by opening a selected paste file. You can Import/Export address from/to text files; you pick the field delimiter (Tab, Semicolon, Comma, or Carriage Return). You can print a single address label, selected address labels, all address labels of selected zip codes, or all address labels in a file at a selected starting row and column. You can print a single page of labels beginning with the first address you select. You can use it to print nametags by selecting the print option "Print Names Only". You can create and save different printing schemes which contain label size/layouts as well as what font will be used to print. You can view/edit one address at a time or view all the address in a spreadsheet format. In the spreadsheet, you can filter the information displayed to show only the address you want. The data in the spreadsheet can be sorted by column heading in either ascending or descending order. Included with this project are several cls files, which contain a lot code that you will find very useful to use in your project such as: * Play wave files stored in a resource file. * Many screen utilities like Center Form, Vertically Fit Form to Screen, and Make on top. * File Open and File Save dialog boxes without using an OCX. * Auto match Combo Boxes. * Masked Text. * Format text as it is typed. There are two versions of the project included, PrintLabels_MsGrid.vbp and PrintLabels_SheridanGrid.vbp. PrintLabels_SheridanGrid.vbp uses the Sheridan Data Widgets and PrintLabels_MsGrid.vbp uses Microsoft's data grid control. To select a group of connected rows using the mouse and the shift key, you need to click somewhere inside the grid; to select several non-connected rows using the mouse and control key you need to click on the Record Selectors bar located on the left side of the grid. The dbgrid32.ocx can be found it on your Visual Basic CD under ?:\Common\Tools\VB\Controls. You can find the ADO version of this project at: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=36736&lngWId=1
