Well, It's all in the title! The text is fading in and out. Smooth scrolling, no flicker. Left, center or right alignment. Very simple and compact code. No API's used, just plain and simple basic drawing code. Only two subs: Form_Load & Timer1_timer. You can change background, forecolor or even add your own image as background! There are 2 different demo forms to try out. (don't mind the screenshot, it's a bit fuzzy due to jpg conversion) All comments welcome ;-)

I always wanted to 'imprison' microsoft word and this is the execution of the sentense. I wanted word to reside inside an activex control and not run by itself. I also wanted full control of it and also use it as a report generator. Of cource you must have microsoft word 2000+ on your computer (Sorry for that, but we are going to IMPRISON it so feel a bit better). I have only tested this with word 2003 and I would like your feedback. First loading can be slow (Microsoft!!). This is the VERY first version (pre-alpha) and any comments will be highly appreciated. Forgive my dirty programming demo program but this is the work of a single day and I put effort on the control and not the demo. The concept is for word to live inside the Webbrowser control. You can create named bookmarks and replace them with values at runtime. This is the backbone for custom reports (or templates like reminding letters etc). You can insert pictures, files etc at will anywhere. You can toggle various things on-off. You can print, load and save documents in various formats (see code for 'Save File'). Click on the 'Load Test file' to test the predefined bookmarks. Also there is a technique to load files from the resource file (see code in the control). Well I hope that somebody out there wanted something like this. I wil keep on improving it as I need it in one of my projects (Radiologist reports with IC10 codes etc) but thought that I get some feedback from you while at it. If you care to vote then please leave a message as some sort of feedback that will help me in this project. Have fun and enjoy VB = Very Beautyful :)

This is my ListGrid control..so called because it basically merges the functionality of a listbox with a listgrid control. Some of its appealing features are (1) with a short, simple call you can get or set the text of a specified "cell" in the list (2) you create attractive header (2 possible styles) with as many columns as you wish. (3) clicking any of the columns headers cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order (alphabetically) just like in outlook or kazaa (4) There is a property call .highest_index which makes for slightly easier looping...for example with the listbox or any of ms controls..there is a property such as the listcount so if you want to loop through the list you go> for i = 0 to list1.listcount -1 the .highest_index property already takes that into account so now you just loop by>> for i = 0 to listGrid1.highest_index. The listcount is still available to you as well if you prefer that, (5) your can set the font/forecolor/backcolor, individually for both the header and the list itself. If you prefer the lightweightness (not a real word i dont think) of the listbox, and used the settabs api to try to increase the functionality of the listbox but felt like you wish you could take the improvements many steps further than that then you will love this control. Suggestions for improvement will be implemented so suggest away.

A button that you would use to minimise your app to the system tray. I liked a submission made earlier by AB Software (code id = 58679) but didnt like the need for external controls and bas files. This submission does the same job but everything is contained within one usercontrol making it easy to just drop into any project. It has its limitations and there is scope for further development. If I do anything further on it I will post updates. Feedback appreciated. Acknowledgements made within the code where appropriate.

a replacement for the standard line control. creates a line that looks more like the line that makes up the edge of the frame control (screenshot) there are 3 types, (single,double, triple) and 2 different types (embossed, raised). Not a huge or fancy control but will save you about 4 or 5 lines of code, without having to think too hard. with there control there is no coding whatsoever..like the standard line control..just drop and position and your done

Makes a cool Lightning Ball thing on the screen. Looks cool, see screen shot. If anyone wants to help me translate it into a Java Applet so i can put it on a Web Page, just leave a comment.

This program can clean: IE History, IE temporary files, IE typed urls, Cookies, Temp, recent documents, typed commands in run, searched files, WMP recent files, ...

(Update 2/17/05) You should include error handling in every procedure of your application regardless of its size or purpose. Usually, during an application’s design phase, we naturally include “ON ERROR RESUME NEXT” to handle expected errors while we are writing the code. The problem occurs when the initial design is complete; we don’t always go back and add error trapping for those unexpected errors. This is usually because it takes to much time or we meant to but just miss some when we did. This utility will add error trapping and logging to all the procedures in your code that you didn’t. View the read_me document for more information. I am not interested in trying to winning the monthly contest so please DON’T vote; save your votes for those who are.

The VB binary files (frx, ctx, dox, drx & pax) are where VB stores the image data for graphics you load into the objects from the IDE Properties window (or a Property page). If you forget to include it in an upload then people get log files complaining about missing graphics. It doesn't matter if you supply the original graphic files, VB doesn't know what they are. When you include the VB binary files in a zip there is no need to supply the graphics saving bandwidth and disk space. ---------------------------------------------------- However end-users have a problem; they are stuck with your graphics. With this program you can extract graphics (bmp, gif, ico, jpg, wmf (some loadable image classes extract as a different (legitimate) type; cur as ico, dib as bmp, jpeg & Tiff as jpg) from the binary files. The image may need editing or you might just want it to use in your own purposes (Ask first;)). Perhaps you want to reuse an image you included in your own code but can't remember where you stored the original? Another use is to extract large Bitmap graphics, convert them to Jpg (or other small files types) in almost any modern (that rules out MSPaint then;)) paint program and reloading them into the project. This will shrink the code considerably and often improve performance as the memory impact is lowered (there is some debate about this; VB has to do more work to display non-BMP images but the data is much smaller so may process more quickly). To assist with this the program names the files it produces with the format 'Form_Control_Property' making reloading them much easier. This code can also extract from ImageLists. NOTE ToolBar's images are stored in an ImageList so the filename will be for the Imagelist not the toolbar. ---------------------------------------------------- This is a major modification of Tony's 'Extract images from a VB project files' at . A great program I've used for ages. Thanks also to 'Light Templer' whose 'JES - JPEG EXPLOIT SCANNER' at while not directly used allowed me to understand and include a simple test for that threat. If the program can't find a valid file extention for the graphic it assumes that it is the exploit and warns of the risk (you can still save the file if you want but have to work past a couple of MsgBoxes). This may not be an accurate test, if you find an image type that VB allows you to load but this program doesn't extract let me know. Also inlcudes a modified version of my ClsScrollPicture.cls to display selected images. ---------------------------------------------------- Bug reports/suggestions very welcome. This project is an experiment prior to incorparating the functionality into Code Fixer. I hope I have included all the Image holding Properties and all the usable Image types but let me know if I missed any. ---------------------------------------------------- BTW does anyone know of code that can extract List/ComboBox data and large Label/TextBox data from binary files? I'll probably work it out but would be happy to 'borrow' ;) ---------------------------------------------------- What's New? Resized to fit on a 800X600 screen, improved image scroller. ----------------------------------------------------

LittleButton.ocx is a one of a kind button that is actually many buttons in one. Instantly creates and array of buttons(up to 20 elements). The buttons can be arranged vertically or horizontally (menu style) Just about every visual aspect of the control is totally customizable from the caption style(flat, embossed, shadow, raised) to the mouse over hilite color, and more than 2 dozen additional properties. One look at the screensh0t will convince you of just how much time and work was put into this.

Concat 2 Arrays (My Dream) - a simple function.... the point is that i wrote it in my dream! yes i did!!! and no i'm not stoned :-)

I needed a method to resize or reposition a row of textboxes when form size changes. I knew it was possible but was unable to determine the math equations to make it work. I couldn't find an example anywhere so went to rent-a-coder out of desperation. A coder who's name I've since lost sent me this example free of charge. It's pretty well documented and I hope you find it useful.

A complete new rebuild of my award winning EyeDropper Control. Now a 100% Dependency free control. Better Drawing, Better Font handling, No Dependencies, Better menu Handling... to many to mention. The control now uses subclassing from Paul Caton (thanks Paul) And the cMemdc for drawing From Vlad Vissoultchev (Thanks Vlad) Awesome code From two very talented programmers. Take a look and tell me what you think. As Always comments and constructive critisim is always welcome. Note: 1) You MUST Copy the WinSubHook.tlb Located in then tlb folder to you system folder. 2) The Control Doesn't Support 32bit Alpha Icons As Yet (Vlad If You have Any Idea on how to do this - I Would Be Very Interested indeed) Regards Gary ___________________________________________________ Update: 09/02/2005 Resizing Of Containers Where Causeing A Flicker. Now Sorted. Toolbar Items Now Draw And Display The Same As The Original MSOutlook Sidebar. ___________________________________________________ Update: 10/02/2005 Disabled Icons Now Render To Grey. Fixed The Max Visible Items On Redraw/Resize. Fixed Toolbar Drawing (Icons Not Displayed Correctly When Sizing. Added Custom Color Property(As A Trial). Enjoy. Thanks Gary

I wrote this to use along with my RedHat shell. It isnt quite done yet. Ive basicly subclassed everything with OnMouseOver and OnMouseLeave abilities. The form will resize without a Timer, API only. Doesnt seem to respond well with slower machine when resizing. Tell me what you think. This program has no purpose, just basicly EyeCandy.

loads graphics into memory and draws them to a BackBuffer, then to the primary Buffer.

A clock usercontrol. It doesnt get any easier (for you) than this. After downloading now, read the breif readme.txt for correct usage

A simple text effect control that is best described as black background with falling green letters that reveal a message. The controls [MatrixText] property lets you control what the message is that is revealed..nice splash sceen effect

Please leave comments/feedback and vote if you'd like. This is my first class file I have been working on.

This is a neat and useful idea i came up with for a form skin. When offering freeware or trialware to your users this could be a useful technique. the skin causes a message, that you specify, to follow the mouse around on your form. There is also a built in "FormOnTop" property as well
