This prog produces a multiple gradient (max. 10 colors) with different pointers. The colors and the pointers can be saved. Together with the sub (called Multigrad) and two functions (GetFirst and GetLast), you can have a multigradient in your own application. If you find any bugs, please let me know. Suggestions are welcome. See screenshot. Have fun !...

A new (advanced) messagebox, with 10 different styles and 1 to 3 buttons. All input is numerated, so it's easy when you code. See the pic for the styles. The syntax is: MBox "Prompt", [Style], [Buttons], [Icon], ["Title"]. For example: MsBox "Prompt" or more complete: MsBox "Prompt", mbWinter, mbSaveDontSave, mbSave, "Title". The prompt is required, all the rest is optional. Remember: The form and the module go together ! The return-value = mbReturn. If mbReturn = 0, then the first button has been pressed. If mbReturn = 1 then the second button has been pressed. If mbReturn = 2 then the third button has been pressed.

Windows works with normal colors and system colors. Visual basic can not handle the system colors and work with them as normal RGB colors. Here's an interesting API I found that translates System Colors to 'normal' colors. I made a little prog arround this to show how it is done. WARNING ! I work with win98 so I don't know if it works with WIN95. If it doesn't, could you please tell me. My adress is: stephan.swertvaegher@planetinternet.be The .dll that contains this API is olepro32.dll. Download the zip and find out...

Fore those who are interested: 84 functions to manipulate a picture. To speed things up, GetPixel and Setpixel is used. Note that not all functions can be manipulated in the program, but it is just to show you how things are done... Anyway, all functions (in fact they are just mods, 'cause they have no return) can be found in the module. The manipulations go from "normal" (like emboss) to very complexe deformations. Only for the advanced! See screenshot.

An updated version of my award winning T3D-function. The former version only worked with grey forms, now it works with ALL colors, even window system-colors. See screenshot. Complete explanation in the program. The syntax is like this: T3D Form, Control, Bevel, [Style], [Filled]. The style and filled values are optional. I'm using this function a lot in my programs, because it gives a nice screen effect. Fixed text - like labels - give the application a prof look.

This small program changes the filenames on your disk(s) in a very easy way. This can be very usefull when you have a directory with a lot of pictures, midi-files, etc... Just type the new filename, set the counter and rename!

A very neat effect to color your forms or pictureboxes. This code is very small but very usefull. A MUST HAVE for anyone who likes different forms...

Found on the web: a collection of four different buttons. FREEWARE ! experimented with them --> cool effects, nice controls.

A game you play against the computer. Be sure to keep your head cool and clear !

155 commands, 146 picture-manipulations... 94k to download. With this prg you can load any existing picture, change it, play with colors, mix with other graphics, filter it, turn it inside out... Save the changed picture (bmp-file) so you can use it somewhere else. A few Api is used to speed things up. Anyway, I submit this prg coz some asked me to do so as a next step to my filter and picture-manipulations. If you find bugs, please let me know. I coded this with care, but one never knows... Have fun. Very important: this is NO drawing program (like paint or corel draw). It's just to manipulate graphics in an easy way.

A MUST HAVE PROGRAM ! Very usefull. The IconAlbum is a collection-book (album) where you can store all your icons and view them at the same time. You can add, delete, move, save icons, search for icons, make directories to store them in. Very handy when you're looking for icons you want to use in a program, a toolbar, ... Unzipped about 1Mb. The zip file is 278 kb. It was written in VB4, but it works with VB5 & 6 too. I use it all the time when I make toolbar-buttons. Included: the IconAlbum.exe, some directories with icons (about 200), the full source-code (for VB4), and a ReadMe-file. The file is best unzipped in C:\. The different maps are made by the zip-file itself, so you can start right away.

A Puzzle. You can add your own pictures. When you have selected the picture and the pieces, you can start puzzling. Click on a piece to move it. When it's in the right place, it will be fixed to the screen. Right-click to move a piece to the second screen. In the second screen, right-click again to move it back.

With this app you can quickly view a directory with pictures (.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .ico, .wmf). All pictures are listed as thumbnails. You can also view a thumbnail in its original size, reduced or enlarged (from 25% till 300%). You can browse in a directory to view all the picture files, no matter how large the directory is. Picture info is also displayed (width, height, file-length,...). On my 650 MHz Pentium II it works very fast - fill the thumbnails in about 1 - 2 seconds. The slowest are the Jpg-files, but it's still OK. This program uses a lot of API-calls, such as API-popupmenus, transparent form, etc... A helpfile is included and can be called from within the program.

T3D function: Puts a 3D-border arround any control. This border has 2 levels: outer border and inner border. The border can be raised, inset or mixed, filled and not filled. It works only on a normal (standard) form, with the backcolor RGB(192, 192, 192) Syntax: T3D Form, Control, Bevel, [Style], [Filled]

With this prog. you can design very complex shapes of any kind, and save them as figure or as bitmap. The pictures I create here are used by me in a very big graphical program. I thought it can do some good to graphics lovers. Enjoy !

A very popular game last century here in Europe, So I coded this with VB. You play against the computer. Difficulty is from 'soft' to 'very hard'. See screenshot. It did take a lot of math to calculate all different steps the computer has to take, but it works fine.

A puzzle game, where you must find your way trough a maze of coloured balls. You can change the color of the ball you play with. There are 20 levels, music (midi), soundeffects (.wav), a high-score (saved !) and a cheat-mode (find it yourself). This prog handles some api. Included: all source, Pyramid.exe, 20 levels, midi and wav-files, graphics, highscore. Check it out and have fun. The zip is 224 kb.

A long time I hesitated about submitting this or not. Finally I made up my mind. The CodeLib V2 is a database-kind of program that stores codesnippets,functions and subs to make programming easier. There's taken care of the layout of the forms, and it uses my award winning T3D-function a lot, together with other stuff I developped, such as my MBox (alternative messagebox) and IBox (alternative InputBox). The result is very good, I might say. Anyway, to make a long story short: Select a code, function or sub, put it on the clipboard (with a button !), go to your VB-project and paste (ctrl/V) the code where you want it. Created a new reusable code ? Start up the CodeLib V2 and add it to the database. Want to replace a certain code with a better one ? Want to rename a code ? Want to move a code to a different category ? Want to delete a code ? Want to add a help-file ? Want to add some notes to a code ? Want to EDIT a code ? Want to print the code ? Want to print the helpfile ? Want to ... As you can see, this is a fully working program that I use a lot when I'm coding. The CodeLib V2 (zip) is about 223 kb, but it has it all: the source, CodeLibV2.exe, data (about 70 different codes, all tested and working fine). I hope you're as thrilled about this as I am. And I don't want to receive mail like "this sucks" or "the worst thing I ever seen", etc... This is GOOD CODE ! It works fine for me (VB6 enterprise edition) and I didn't found any bugs so far. The helpfile can be read with notepad, but will also be loaded in the program. In the helpfile, you have a small button "send mail". This will start up your e-mail prog and link directly to me. Do it ! A final note: this isn't a database prog like acces, or works with ADO, all code is stored in a sequential file, wich is loaded directly into memory. This works very fast. Extract the zip to C:\ or any folder of your choice and voila ! Happy coding...

This prg has a sub to make a 3D-effect of any font you like... Textured or just a plain gradient. Ofcourse, to speed things up, some API are used. No vbogl12 (that contains OpenGl Api1.2) needed... (sorry matt). The sub is stored in the module, and easy to use and understand. The code is quite simple, but very effective. The text can be designed REAL-Time, even when you write it. With the scrollbars change-event, the 3D-text is updated at the same time. In the module, you'll find also a function to read all the fonts and store them in a combobox. This works very fast (faster then the CommonDialog Showfont method), even when you have about 750 fonts - like I do ;). The fontsize can go up to 200 pixels. Anyway, with a small modification, you can save this: SavePicture Pic1.Image, Path & "\name.bmp". So this prg can even be modified to a 3D-text designer, and save the pictures as a bitmap file. Maybe I'll do that someday, who knows ? Note that the backgroundcolor is black (= RGB(0, 0, 0), = &H0, = vbBlack), so this can be used as a mask. Extract this zip with path included, there are some textures in the zip. Be sure to check it out. Comments are always welcome, as usual. E-mail adress in the module. Have fun.

Complete program to make covers for CD-Roms. A small envelope you might say. Print the result on a sheet of at least 200gr - heavy paper. The working of the program: find it out yourself. This prg works perfectly, so I don't want to hear things like "it doesn't work" and other sh!t. Full of API also. The graphic routines are very fast. Enjoy. Found a bug ? Email me !
