Add Balloon Shape Tooltips to Controls
This is a sample project to show how to add Ballon shape tips to controls and objects on your forms as long as they have the .hWnd property.
Always On Top Property At Runtime
If you paste this code to your Form will have a new form property which when set to true will keep you window (form) above all other open windows even when it does not have the focus.
Give you VB.OLD apps the resizing behaviour found in .Net's anchor properties with a minimum of code. All you need is the class here and you worry about what your program has to do.
Find out when a user has highlighted a menu option
I have posted this article primarily for newbies but I'm sure others could benefit as well. I did a quick search and finding nothing on it on the forum decided to post it as an article. I got the idea to write this article recently when I was standing in for a colleague teaching programmng to some college students. Some of the students who were working on a course assignment wanted to know if it was possible in VB to tell when a user has highlighted a menu option and show a description in the status bar.
Hide Desktop Icons, Taskbar and Wallpaper
This project shows how you can make the taskbar (containing the start button etc) invisible.
