UPDATED 11/10/2000 Now With even more options!! This application allows you to check for an updated version of a file or a program via FTP, then download that update if it is available. It works by reading a file called update.inf that must be installed on the remote server and comparing information in that file to information about the current version of the file or program. The author has set up a remote FTP site with such an update.inf file on it for testing purposes so you can see how it works. Information about this remote FTP site (IP address and remote directory) is contained in a file called update.ini In the example, as it is written, the program compares the version of the application itself to information in the update.inf file on the remote machine. However, this is for testing purposes only and the program does not actually update itself. To use the program in a production setting, you have to set up an FTP site, put the appropriate information in the update.inf and update.ini files, and change the code to refer to the file or program that you would actually want to update.

This code enables you to convert a long file location and filename to a short file location and filename. Example: C:\Program Files\Test.txt will become C:\Progra~1\Test.txt

A demo of the A* (A star) pathing algorithm used in many games to find a path across a varied map. This is merely a demo, but with optimisation it could be modified to be used in a game. Most tiled map games, board games (such as chess), and route finders all use the A* pathing algorithm as a quick an efficient method of finding a route from A to B. The code also contains my implementation of a Heap or Binary Tree (which is sadly lacking from VB).

Distributed as a commercial program, largely via computer magazine cover-mounted CD-ROMs and shareware downoad sites, This program will identify which lottery number formulae will work best in terms of highest return. A Must for any Lottery Player!. It calculates how much money you will lose! for arithmetic speed reasons, the engine for this program is in Microsoft Visual C++ and I have posted it in Planet's VC++ section. The program will run in any 32bit Visual Basic. This code demonstrates pretty much any VB app would be expected to do. Many users described this as CuriosityWare - Enjoy!

The Visual Basic Progressbar requires the huge comctrl32.ocx to be distributed with your program - not any more! this is the classic method with the familiar dark-Blue on white background. I have been asked this over and over again, so here it is. It is actually 2 labels stuck together with a bit of arithmetic used to animate them.

This sample should be very interesting for those of you who have tried to code graphic games in VB. While main point of demo is using a new control which could be described as "transparent animated gif control", the demo itself could teach you some techniques useful in game-programming. Mouse-activated objects, dragging, transparency operations understanding, "intelligence" in sprite motions and collisions testing as well as some basic Windows GDI functions and more. Take a look yourself - I hope it worth to. To be honest, I should say that main purpose of this post is to get some feedbacks about new control from you pals. So don't hesitate to mail me your thoughts and suggestions. You'll decide if this control will be developed to more "professional" state than it is now. BTW, zip contains a bunch of nice animated gifs to give you "field to play with". Hope you won't blame me for this if you're on slow connection ;)

Great for advanced or beginer Visual Basic users. Demonstrates how to include a "registration key" for trial version software, read and write the registry, make a game of hangman, read and write from files, clickable letters, pick a random word from a list of words in a file, choose a word for another player, add word to the word list, worth a look, PLEASE RANK!!

are you sick of the MDI (code/form) windows not maximizing when you start Visual Basic 6? Just enter this into your registry: path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0 key: "MDIMaximized"="1" if your not good at editing the registry, then download this REG file and have it do it for you! http://www.theblackhand.net/mouse/MDIMax.reg just a fun tip to help speed things up By Arachnid and Mouse

This is my second source code released on PlanetSourceCode. It is a fake virus that you can compile and send to friends, there is no way to get out of it. It disables CTRL-ALT-DEL and hide the windows start menu, and desktop icons, so they cant do anything. If you find any bugs, please tell me. THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR WINDOWS NT.

PlotX allows the user to plot up to eight graphs (of the y = ax2 + bx + c type or NOW the x = ay2 + by + c type!) at a time. The user can also use many built in functions like Sin() and Tan() or Sqr() etc. in their expressions. Expressions are inputted using textboxes and evaluated with the Microsoft Script Control. Colour coding is used and multiple accuracy/speed settings are implemented for ease of use. The scale can also be changed and you can zoom in or out on the graphing area. Version 1.3.0 (THIS ONE) now supports both expressions beginning in 'y =' AND 'x ='! Another addition in version 1.3.0 are two new ULTRA high accuracy settings for very high accuracy graphing.

This is a module that will allow you to control some basic features on Windows 95/98. Show/Hide Clock, Show/Hide Taskbar, Get CPU Info, Get Paths or Applications/wallpaper/etc. There are quite a few subs and functions so check it out. :)

This has to be the best web browser i've seen here on planetsourcecode... its really nice GUI and very easy to use. if you have problems with it email me. as well as im willing to teach anyone what i know.. if you need help icq me at 13237186 and i'll help you as much as i can =)

This code will tell you how long it will take to download a file just put in the Size and speed it will do the rest

I came across an alternative progressbar. I thought it was a good idea, but it didn't use smooth 'scrolling'. I came up with this sub routine. I included an example.

Latest Image FX: http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=22970&blnEditFeedback=TRUE&lngWId=1 The Image FX Control is an excellent tool! This great OCX duplicates some of Adobe Photoshop's key features and filters. It is a must for anyone, especially paint program designers, etc. Compiles all the features of my last post (Add Noise, Blur, Darken, Flip Horizontal, Invert, Lighten, and Pixelate) into one small OCX (ActiveX Control). No sifting through modules, or hard coding. One line is all it takes to do any of the features! I added a Reset button to the example, and added the 'Colorize' feature to the OCX. Includes the OCX, its source, and an example project which demonstrates how to use all effects. The OCX uses only two API calls! SetPixel and GetPixel. Check out the screen shot and please take the time and vote for me if you find this code useful. I'd GREATLY appreciate any criticism/feedback and votes :] Source code is completely commented.

This code demonstrates how to get a hash, or a type of fingerprint for any string of data. Hashes are useful in determining if a piece of data has been altered. Usefull for files, data transmissions, etc. Have fun with it!!!

I wrote this Code to Log actions within a game that I'm writing (keep track of Users logging in, out, etc). This project has a procedure that will add a line of text to a Log File; with time stamp. It also has a Log File viewer, complete with search capabilities. Search by Date/Time, User#, Type of Log Entry and String. You can use the Log Form in your application. The Project is heavily documented.

Lets you create hyperlinks from within your program, only 2 lines of code and no OCX's! Just follow the simple instructions in the code, Hyperlinks can also be used for Hypergraphics in your program too. Use this in menu controls (for directing your programs end-users to your technical support pages, help pages etc..). loads of possible uses! The cursor changes into a hand, and using the click event the hyperlink can change color when visited, - Does the same as the real thing!
