If you download a program that is in Beta (or Alpha state) you can be sure that it is not finished yet and that a update will appear soon.

Here you can choose what you are interested in:

• Software - Tools

• CoolControls

• Ini Support 4 VB

• Outline Frame

• 3D Chart for VB

• Picture Progress Bar

The CoolControls are a collection of ActiveX objects that you can use in your programs. (Usable with MS VisualBasic 5.0 and 6.0).

Contents:

CoolCommand:

The old & well known CoolButton (Flat Button) but in my own version.

• Variable Button face and -Border color
• Variable Font Size, -color and -Type
• Image Support
• 8 Text and Picture Aligns (Top Left to Bottom Right)
• 5 Picture sizes: 16x16, 32x32, Custom (User), Stretch, Original
• Word-Wrap & Multiple Text Width
  • Multiple Text Width: You can set the text width but if the caption changes the width is automatically set to best fit the whole button. (Hard to explain, check it out!)

CoolCheck:

This is (I guess) something new: A check in flat style:

• Boolean 4 Checked or Not - Checked
• Variable Font size, -Color and -Type
• 2 Different Styles (Windows and "Cool" style)

CoolCheck2:

This is the 2nd version of the CoolCheck it now uses TTF fonts to display the checks.

• Boolean 4 Checked or Not - Checked
• Variable Font size, -Color and -Type
• Variable Check size
• 2 Different Styles (Cross and Check)
• Underline on MOver
• 4 Predefined Color sets (or user defined)

CoolText:

This is another highlight of the CoolControls, a flat input box!

• Password Char
• Variable back color
• Variable Font size, -Color and -Type

Hmmm... This file is useful for all of you who don't know how to use INI files with VB.

This object has 5 methods:

• IniNew(IniName Header) - Create new INI file
• IniOpen(IniName) - Open existing INI file
• KeyAdd(IniKey, IniKeyData) - Add data to the INI file
• KeyGet(IniKey) - Get data form the INI file
• KeyRemove(IniKey) - Remove data from the INI file

Download Ini_VB

Outline Frame

Some other type of frame, I saw something like this in an old Windows 3.1 program and tried to make this for my own. (And now for you)

Because the object container is not working correctly, labels and images are invisible. To have labels I simply added a new label control ;-) All other objects (buttons etc.) you can put onto this control without problems.

 

Download Outline Frame

I saw some thing like that in a packing program. So I started working on my own version. ;-)

Properties/Methods:

• BackColor (1): The back color of the chart(body)

• ValueColor (2): The value color

• BorderColor (3): The charts border color

• ValueBorderColor: The value border color

• BackStyle: Sets whether the spaces not covered by the diagram are displayed transparent or with EdgeColor

• EdgeColor: Color of the whole background (only useful when BackStyle=0)

• Value: Value (in %) min 0% max 100%

• Redraw (Method): Redraw chart, returns 0 or 1 when an error occurs:

0= value error (Value is too big/small!)

1= size error (Object too small!)

Picture Progress Bar

As a developer you should know what a progress bar is. What a picture is you should also know ;-). Now you simply count one and one together and get: a progress bar that uses pictures to display the progress.

RAS is a Server / Client based system to control remote computers through a non direct connection. (...through a LAN resource)

The RAS 1.0 package consists of 3 parts:

•  Remote Access Client
•  Remote Access Client Setup
•  Remote Access Server

RAS Client

The RAS Client is a little program that has to be installed on all client computers. When it was copied you simply have to run the RAS Client Setup program to configure it. The RAS Client is (in normal mode) not visible to users. Is it visible (Through RAS Server command) you see a list of the last commands:

RAS Client Setup

The RAS Client Setup program is used to point to a LAN path for each client and to activate the client. The client computer MUST have read/write rights for the path (and the server of course too!) The path mustn't lie on the server / client.

RAS Server

The RAS Server is the main part of the RAS Suite. It is used to control the clients.

Beta limitations:

• Watch User is sometimes hanging because the picture is too big

• Extended Clipboard
• WebCrawler
• Qbasic 32
• QuickRes
• Program Launcher

The Extended Clipboard is a tool for all of us who use the Copy & Paste "method" too often *gg*

When it is started it hides in the system tray and stores the Clipboard contents every time the clipboard content changes to something ExtClip can handle. So you can restore the Clipboard data whenever you want.

Actually ExtClip can store Text, Bitmap, Meta and DIB data. (Text in Memory, DATA in files in a temporary folder.) ExtClip is in Beta stadium.

WebCrawler

WebCrawler is a program, that crawls a webpage for files and saves them to your hard disk. What this is good for? Hmmm I didn't understand in the beginning too, that was NOS's idea ;-)

"Let's suppose you want to download all linked ZIP files form a website X.  (i.e.. spanned zip archives)" this can WebCrawler do. You simply have to give it the main URL.

NOS also showed me a program called "Porn Crawler" this 'Thing' crawls a TGP list (Thumbnail Gallery Post) and downloads the pics. Firstly the program was shareware and secondly it downloaded the ads at the same time. WebCrawler should also download from TGPs he said. Okay, you wanted it: WebCrawler can now download from TGPs! If you need / or have a useful address mail NOS (that's not my business!)

>> WebCrawler has a score of 95% (No ads - only pics, movies and zips...) on a suitable (TGP) list!

More info you can get from the screenshot below!

Cerials is a program that lets you share serial numbers with others. (You could call it a database like Serials 2k but I don't provide the serials. You must! :))

Cerials is Open Source. Mail me if ya want the code!

QuickRes is a simple tool that hides in your system tray and lets you change your resolution to ALL possible standard resolutions. (I made it as replacement for Windows NT which has no such tool.) If you change to a resolution, your system does not support, it will not change to it.

QuickRes 2 now supports all resolutions in all color depths at all frequencies that your system supports. It also now has a timeout. You got 15 seconds (this time you can change) to click on an OK button. If you don't your old res will be restored. You may deactivate this timeout, BUT I don't recommend this! (I know what I am speaking of. A black screen is no joke.)

Download QuickRes 2

Program Launcher

This tool is made based upon an idea the XOSL brought to me. It has a timeout to boot a special OS. Now the program launcher (run.exe) will run an application by a timeout you can set. Why you need this? For example this tool gives you the time to establish an internet connection and run the program also you can abort loading a program. Check it out, it has some more features!

Snake 2 is the first game I made (and still am making). It is a DirectX accelerated 2D/3D Snake/Nibbles like game with some extended features. Your job is to collect bananas. How many depends on the level. If this would be all, this game would be pretty boring, so we got different types of bananas and items (Below is a list of Items and their description). Snake 2 has a very easy to use and understand level matrix, so you can create your own levels with a simple text editor (like windows notepad).

Items In Snake II:

	Yellow Banana: A yellow banana grows you (1) and gives you 10 points. Yellow bananas appear often (there is a minimum of at least one).
	Fire Banana: A fire banana will grow you (1), give you 30 Points and speed you up. Beware: This are 30 Points but they could speed you up about 90%!!! Red bananas appear relative often.
	Energy Banana: An energy banana will grow you (1), give you 60 points and if you collected 10 of them you get a new live. They appear not so often.
	Evil Banana: This banana can harm you in 2 ways: It could steal you points or it could ssssslllloooowwww you down (about 50%). They appear more or less often.
	The TNT: actually you die if you hit this. I plan shrinking you... This appears rarely
	Atomic Power: If you collect this you become immortal for 10 seconds. (the snake is blinking) This appears only in difficult levels. If you collect it you loose 120 Points - you can walk through walls and TNT (But not through the game table borders)
	Bricks: Thos bricks are rounded with barbed wire. DO not hit them - you will die.

If you collect a banana that changes your speed, the speed will fall back to normal after a several time.

To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the key code with one or more of the following codes:

Key: Code
SHIFT: +
CTRL: ^
ALT: %

To specify that any combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses. For example, to specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use "+(EC)". To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use "+EC".
To specify repeating keys, use the form {key number}. You must put a space between key and number. For example, {LEFT 42} means press the LEFT ARROW key 42 times; {h 10} means press H 10 times.

Who doesn't know QBasic?? Microsoft's famous Basic version 4 MS - DOS.

(To learn more about QBasic go to www.Qb45.com or www.Qbasic.com)

What you got here, is a IDE (Development Interface) for QBasic (almost 1.0 up to QBX) running under Microsoft Windows (9x, NT 4, 2k, XP). You need a QBasic linker (Link.exe) and a QBasic compiler (BC.exe) to use it, because it compiles your project every time you run it (This is a better way, also Borland goes).

QBasic 32 Features:

• Syntax Highlighting
• Simple Syntax Check
• DOS <-> Windows conversion
• Search & Replace function

QBasic 32 is still Beta and works a bit slow. I'll do my best to speed it up!

QB32 works with B32 (QB32 Bas Files, no 64K limitation), BAS files in text form, TXT files). BAS files saved as "QBasic" QB32 can't read. :(

Beta Limitations:

• Slow Syntax Checking (If you know a way to do Syntax Checking faster in a RTF Box tell me! (Or if ya know a better input element))
• QB32 can only make DOS Standalone executables (No BRUN45)
• DOS <-> Windows conversion looks a bit strange
