Visual Basic 6 EXAMPLE PROGRAMS...
...and lately, Borland C++ Builder and Delphi 3 programs!This is a collection of tools and examples programs that I've made for my own use and amusement.
You can download the zipped install, which includes everything needed. The Visual Basic programs are usually very big and since this ISP is not so good with download, I had to break up the install in multiple, small files. Unzip in the same directory and run the install from there.
Also, the Visual Basic programs need a runtime library that you can install by using the RunTime program.Most of them are so simple they do not need elaborate help files. All of them, however, have their ReadMe. ReadThem!.
These program are released in the public domain under the Copylefted Rule: you may copy them as often and distribute them as widely as you want, provided you do not profit unduly from this.
I hope you find them as usefull as I, who uses them daily.Any bug, comments or sycophantic proof of total adulation can be reported to me: put the word "EXAMPLE" as the first word in the subject.

VB Minimal database for all your example programs or those downloaded zips from the net. Instead of having to search your whole disk (or diskS if you are like me) for that specific snippet of code, simply consult this database which has all your source code and compilled addesses (that you put in). The short description will guide you. When you select one specific project in the list, the long description appears in the lower text box. You can then start the VB IDE or test the exe. |

Color mixing utility to test out background and text color combination. You can study the exact composition of both foreground and background color, set the example sentence and letter with their font so as to permit exact prediction of final appearance. The final values in Hex can be either imported or sent, separatly, to the clipboard. This is my first ever Borland C Builder program, and made with an old version 1 I had laying around. |

A small VB utility to find exact key values. This will list exact key values and their combinations and show the real key event order. Usefull when you can't for the life of you lay your hand on that ASCII table. Latest revision enables the user to select only the events he wants to see. Default is all events and the program remembers the old selection. Duplicate keys are not re-captured. |

KeyEvent Install

A VB utility to show the equivalent string values of numbers. I developped this while I was running around in data files with an Hex editor, trying to make sense of the Little Endien hexadecimals I was looking at. Will show what the Hex strings looks like in Little Endian or Big Endian. Will also translate from one base to another so you don't need a special Hex calculator. Will also format the string according to the variable types. If the variable is too small, it will be formated as the next biggest one and be set as such. |

BinHexDec Install

A VB utility to make the content of any selected directory writable. I developped this because I grew tired of having to go through directories after directories of files copied from CDs to HD and makinbg them writable manually. This utility can also be set to recursively go into all subdirectories and make their content writable also! |

A VB utility to unregister DLLs and OCXs. Laziness prompted me to write this thing once and for all so I would not have to go through typing yet again "regsvr32 /u (path and DLLname) in a DOS window ever again. Copy the exe to a folder and drop a shortcut to the desktop. Double-clicking on it will bring up the instructions. |

regsvr32_u executable

A VB control that replaces the ProgressBar on your form when you cannot determine the number of step to set its Max value and it is essential to keep the user from clicking all over. The bar makes a back and forth sweep. Most effective if the bar itself is kept short. There are two packages: one for the controls themselves (.OCX, .OCA, .lib and .tlb) that you drop in the system folder and register and the other is a harness to demonstrate the bar that you just drop on the desktop. To use the control, just add its reference to your VB project. The type library (.tlb) will make exploring its properties and methods a snap. |
