This little code snippet returns a truly random sequence of Rnd's

This Visual Basic Add-In will format your code for a generally accepted indentation - one tab per structure level, the tab width being obtained from the IDE. It will also check your code for some of the most common ommissions and traps. Included are a Code Printer, a Copy Facility, a Code Structure Viewer and an option to create WinXP manifest files and to modify your code to make use of them. Simply compile the DLL into your VB directory and then use the AddIns Manager to add it to the AddIns Menu.

How to securely exchange encryption keys over unsecure lines.

The proper way to find out whether your code is running in the IDE or was compiled

Make a standard command button very flat ;-)

The trouble with VB's own Recent Projects List is that it is untidy and unsorted, it grows until you can't find anything, it does not remove broken links, and last but not least the window is way to small to display long pathes. So what we need is a little helper to tidy up and sort VB's Recent Projects List. And wouldn't it be nice if you could launch VB with an open project inside it right from the beginning? Well, try this one - download is 20.8 kB. (bug fix for the drive-not-ready bug reported by Josh)

This is just here because it's a contest winner. There's a newer version here also.

A new version of Greg's DirectX 3D Snooker with a few minor qirks removed and generally overhauled. Please do not vote, this is not my original work. Download is 208 kB.

This is a prefabricated database browser to be used with bookmark- and clone-supporting SQL databases (MS-Access for example). It lets the user browse a database or search for specific entries and then select an entry for further processing. The appearance and contents are customizable. Everything above the blue line is part of the OCX Control. Simply stick it in a form, set a few properties and you're go with a commercial quality browser/record selector. A cross linked help file is included. Download is only 20.5 kB.

A new type of progress indicator (mileage counter and speedometer), similar to the one you have in your car. Check it out, download is only 17 kB.

This pocket calculator is meant as an example for the almost forgotten State Transition Table technique. With this technique the complete behaviour pattern is stored in a two-dimensional table containig Reactions to input-triggers (in this case key presses, but depending on circumstances the triggers may be anything else), and States. An STT is an ideal tool to control game characters for example because it allows different reactions to identical inputs. The code is documented and also contains a short description of how it works. It's worth the download if you want to learn more about STTs, so give it a try. Download is 18 kB.

Analyse Access Database Tables and Fields and optionally alter contents.

This is a Mouse Wheel .OCX Control which allows you to connect the wheel to any Control which has an hWnd. Wheel scrolling will fire Scroll Events and if Shift or/and Cntl is pressed while scrolling this will also be returned to the client app permitting you to vary scrolling steps or direction. Try it, download is only 6kB.

This Add-In creates a Cross Reference Listing for your VB Projects. The X-Ref shows all Public, Global, Friend and Private Data- and Code-Member definitions, where they are defined, their scope (Private / Public / Friend), and what they are: Sub or Function, Property, Event, Variable or Constant. Also shown are all references to these members with ComponentName.MemberName as well as Line and Column numbers. References to Components are also shown. The Cross Reference Listing may be exported to a color-coded RTF file (see screen shot) or to the Clipboard for subsequent pasting into the project or anywhere else. This is the second in the my suite of VB-Add-Ins and goes together with the Code Formatter. It will help you to professionally document your projects in a tidy and consistent way. Compile the DLL into your VB directory and then use the Add-Ins Manager to load the Cross Reference Add-In into VB. Fixed bugs with Resorce Files and Related Documents and added Icons as well as references to Controls, Libraries, and References.

This OCX records all mouse and keyboard activities for later playback with original timing. May (but should not) also be used as a stealth keylogger. Try playing back the attached TEST.RCD file :-).

Example to show how to synchronize painting to the Monitor's vertical scan frequency. Painting occurs invisibly during vertical retrace.

This article shows the basic concepts of Generic Algorithms. Generic Algorithms (GA) are used to arrive at an optimal solution for problems which cannot be solved by mathmatical rules or formulae. A GA simulates the natural evolution process by selecting and breeding the fittest individuals. According to Darwin's Evolution Theory the "fittest" are those which are best adapted to a competitive and possibly hostile environment...

This is a Form Fader OCX control. Simply stick it on a form, set a few properties, and with two lines of code it will fade-in and fade-out the form smoothly. Also lets you fade the form by setting a fading (opacity) factor between 25% and 100%. Semi-transparent forms can be moved across the background with a realistic transparent effect. The Fader can be compiled separately, of course. This OCX Control is based on code by Ed Preston (and he deserves the votes).

This AddIn helps you to explore and document your projects. The documentation is incorporated into the source code and may be printed by the Code Formatter Source Print Facility (updated version soon to follow). Compile the DLL into your VB directory and then use the Add-Ins Manager to load the Explorer Add-In into VB. The Splitterbar.OCX (included in the .zip file) is a Control based on a submission by eidos here at PSC. You should copy it to the Windows System Folder and register it using RegSvr32.

When you don't know it's there you don't try to find it. This app may be not perfect and I'm sure you can improve it by adding all kinds of gimmicks and a better UI. Anyway, this stegano can hide up to 32k in a picture of 300 by 300 pixels 24 deep with no visible effect ... and it's a little different *smile*
