**WITH MISSING CONTROLS** Control Now Supports Fade In Left\Right. As requested the control now also handles images. This control has been completely Re-Written. Tonns of new properties and function to manipulate the output of the display. Fonts now can use there antialiasing to give smoother looking text, it works tonns faster, element dimension can be resized. pictures can be inserted useing my own make of a picclip allowing you to update the text with as many images as you want in real time. Images can all be stored in one picture file. You can now view the results of your settings in design time. Take a peak, don't just look at it, fiddle with the properties and what not. FIXED BUGS:1. Bounce Of Strings Smaller Then The Display 2. Loading Of Large Images (GetImagesWidth Function) 3. Image Place Holder Not Read At End Of String.

Get your geographical location without the use of the registry and system settings. This is a component of my Global Assistant App which is being designed not to use system settings, as we all know people can get stuff up wrong when setting up Windows. Displays use of IP To location database and the conversion of a Dot IP to Long IP based on ISO3166. The acquasition of the external IP isn't tested on proxys (It would be good to know if it is still effective)

It is ideal for those how have Windows Blinds and are obsessed with personalising there desktop. It does exactly what it says on the tin! Personalise Visuals And Audio. Easy Access System Tray Entry Too. Skin Chooser, Audio Chooser, Personilised Reminders Etc.

Get A Countrys Dialing Code. DID YOU KNOW: All countries and their dialing codes are stored in the registry. Excellant snippet to add to your business applications and contact apps etc

Heres One For The Beginners. There Is An Extremely Easy Method To Clocks Using Sin\Cos, I've Seen a Few On PSC That Do The Job But Are A Litle Over Complex. At A Glance It Looks Long, Just Remove All The Comments And You'll See How Short The Code Actually Is. I hope This Helps

**DOUBLE BUFFERING FOR BEGINNERS** Drawing constantly to a picture box causes huge amounts of flickering which is undesirable and looks unprofessional. This is a very easy way of removing the flickers using the double buffer method. Double Buffering has been used in games since time began, even back on the Amiga with Blitz Basic and Amos. The idea is to draw all details into a buffer, this means the user cannot see it and it is very quick. Once all the drawing is complete it is then copied to the front buffer (Picture box in this case). This means there is only ever one update per cycle as opposed to an update for every item drawn. When I began looking for this I found only examples of drawing onto a form... well that's a cheat, it has a DoubleBuffer property, a picture box doesn't... I'm not fussed about votes folks, just let me know if this has helped.

*** RELEASE 3 *** A Simple Container Which Allows You To Add Depth To Your Forms. Now Supports Rounded Corners, Shadow On And Off And Border Colour, Caption (On\Off), Alignment, Show Tab, Font + Colour. See Screen Shot, Now All It Takes Is A 'Little' Imagination... BUG FIX:The control interfered with the Left$ and Right$ commands, this has now been rectified (Changed The Alignement Enum Members Names). Sorry if this caused you problems, but it's now fixed.

It's been a while since my last post, but here's the classic game Cascade. I used to play this on an old Psion revo, and decided to make it for myself. How to play the game is in the program. I hope you enjoy it

This is a compilation of all the useful System analysis tools you made need, Drive-type and space, memory, windows version, net connection, sound card, screen resolution, CPU performance test, Active Aprograms etc.

Get The Name Of Your Processor eg(AMD Athlon (tm)64 Processor 3000+) As You See It In The Control Panel-System Window. I Have Posted This Purely Because I couldn't Find The Code On PSC Any Where, Only Code That Gives You x86 N' Stuff Like That. I don't Know If It's Cheating But I Just Get It From The Registery.

I'm sorry but it seems a few people do like these effects. This ones differant again. This time i suppose my excuse is demonstrating BitBlt. It is pretty cool though, the image snakes around quite fluidly then when you press stop returns to it's original point of origin (Nearly)

I Know It's easy stuff, and it only takes a few minutes to make, but I suppose you could use this example to display a good use of Get and SetPixel. Making Images Appear to move without moving a control? I dunno. You Can use as many images as you like, just load your pictures into the control array PicRange, The program automatically compensates for the size of the control arrey. eg copy and paste PicRange(0) as many times as you like making PicRange(0) PicRange(1) PicRange(2) PicRange(3) PicRange(3+N) etc

I needed to write a program that actually did simple things, but It had to look good, not your normal run of the mill text box and label type thing. I Have created what could be closely be related to a Display engine, you tell it the Details, it does the rest. This is not a full menu list, but I would like to know, is this any good, or is there an easier way and I'm wasting my time???? your feed back is much apreciated
