Looks incredible. Does it support
system tray icons?
|
10/3/2000 12:03:59 AM:Joe
It doesn't, but download it anyway

Once again, you have done a great
job!!! This is really neato! Excellent!

10/5/2000 10:14:30 AM:Jim
your Alphablending.dll uses a function
AlphaBlend from msimg32.dll this dll
comes with NT5 ane may come with 2000
not sure. The code looks great but with
out support for alphablend it won't
work on nt40 0r win98 sorry

10/8/2000 7:19:41 PM:Andy Stagg
WOW! best i have seen...
just a few
questions... were did my desktop icons
go when i replace explorer with it? I
paln to take the system tray coding
from SoftShell and submit it here, of
course leaving the correct credits
Brain and the maker of SoftShell should
have.
PS, Jim, NT5 is windows
2000
Great Work Brain!

Your desktop icons have been moved to
the desktop icon menu (it's the little
picture of the desk). Also, I was
thinking of integrating the Softshell
code into my own, but decided against
it (would make the code buggy). If you
would like to try, feel free, just
remember to read the GPL before doing
it. (The conditions of the GPL apply to
both projects)

I always get "Active X component can't
create object" on Set tmrShow = New
ccrpTimer. What could the problem be. I
am on win 98 with VB6 and SP3.
|
10/8/2000 10:43:33 PM:Brian
You must copy ccrpTmr6.dll and
Alphablendng.dll to your Windows System
folder. If that doesn't work, go to
Start > Run and type in regsvr32.exe
ccrpTmr6.dll

Could you please provide a more
complete description? Do you get an
error, and if you do, what is it? Does
it just not start? A good description
allows me to accuratelly diagnose and
solve your problem. Also keep in mind
that B2 is untested on Windows ME (I
haven't been able to get my hands on a
copy)
|
11/5/2000 6:40:46 PM:Windows ME
Yes, i get the error "run-time erroe
'429': activeX component can't create
object" this happens any time i click
on somthing on the start bar in B2.

|
11/6/2000 12:54:32 PM:WoodE
Viper Tec,
This alos happened to me, i
simply changed:
<pre>'Set tmrshow =
New ccrpTimer</pre?
to:<pre>
Dim
tmrshow As New ccrpTimer</pre>
This
worked for me without having to move
any files.
Hope this helps.
|
11/6/2000 12:57:54 PM:Grant B.
Viper Tec,
This also happened to me, i
simply changed the
'Set tmrshow = New
ccrpTimer' to 'Dim tmrshow As New
ccrpTimer'.
This worked for me and
without having to move files.
Hope
this helps.
WoodE (sorry about first
posting)
PS. Possible code change
for the author?

Upon running your code in VB, I get an
error message:

11/14/2000 11:57:32 PM:Tony Gjerdahl
Upon running your code in VB, I get an
error message... "Subscript Out Of
Range" on the line... "ButtonCaption(i)
= """ where i is currently = 4. What
is the problem....Any help would be
greatly appreciated...thanks!
|
11/15/2000 1:03:35 PM:Jotaf98
Great code! But the "Can't create
object" error makes it so I can only
see the bar... I did as WoodE said, but
another error ocurred anyway, so I
guess that's not the problem. I
searched for Alphablending.dll and
couldn't find it. Can you please send
it to me? I'm using Windows98 so I
guess it's supposed to work...
|
11/20/2000 5:19:05 PM:JoeKramer
I to get the 'Subscript Out Of Range'
error.
Windows 98, VB 6.0/SP4
|
11/20/2000 8:42:24 PM:Tim
Dude... I am soo behind the times.
Where do I find the AlphaBlending.dll?
Is it on the Visual Studio disks
anywhere? I soooooooo wanna try
this!!!
From the screen shots it
looks awesome!
|
11/24/2000 2:59:07 PM:Jotaf98
Hehe, I feel soooo lame! All the DLLs
were in the ZIP! But the problem is
still there, if you want me to tell you
the line where the error occurs or any
more info you need, just e-mail me.
|
11/25/2000 11:55:46 AM:FilipG
Well This app is very cool and I think
it's much better then BoS1.0 but to be
quite troughtfull it will be much
cooler if it will works. There are
errors with ActiveX creating.
PS:
really great job
|
11/26/2000 12:52:31 PM:xim
In my opinion the only valid fix is to
register the provided dll's. The only
glitch I've found in 5 mins use is that
the results text from the bottom bar of
my Find box is faintly displayed in
B2's task bar (yes, even fom the
desktop). Looking good! Keep it up!
|
11/26/2000 9:10:59 PM:SqueakMac
I get error 429 'ActiveX component
can't create object' on line
Set
tmrShow = New ccrpTimer
in
frmStartMenu. What's wrong?
|
11/27/2000 6:11:30 AM:Alpha
Yeah, I get that error too. It said
"ActiveX component can't creat object"
at line tmrShow = New ccrpTimer in
frmStartMenu, and when I tried to
comment it, it cause more & more error.
Why ccrpTimer is so important? What is
it? Please answer by e-mail.
|
11/27/2000 6:16:04 AM:Alpha
Add from the last feedback- Even I've
download it everytime you promote, it
still cause the same error. Don't know
why.
|
11/27/2000 6:45:04 AM:Alpha
hEy, wait a min.... I've download this
version, and it works! How? Well,
people who have the same problem with
me must register ccrpTmr.dll first, by
draging it to
C:\windows\system\regsvr32.exe .
|
11/27/2000 1:27:15 PM:Jon Furner
Alpha,
ccrpTimer is a Timer object
(obviously) that was created by the
Common Control Replacement Project
(ccrp) group. It is much more accurate
than the timer that comes with VB
because it uses API calls. CCRP has
made several other controls as well to
replace the standard VB controls. You
should check out there site to see what
they have available.
http://www.mvps.org/ccrp/ Many of their
controls could become standard really
soon. You should become familiar with
them.
|
11/27/2000 4:36:44 PM:Steve Hanzek
I get the same subscript error as Tony
Gjerdahl and Joe Kramer get: i = 4.
Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Program looks fascinating
if I can get it working.
Thanks
|
11/27/2000 5:55:16 PM:Brian G.
Woah, allot of comments! Does anyone
read this far (I did) Good job, I am
working on my own shell (might not be
as graphically good as yours but I'll
try) [From scratch not this code] pic
looks good. I can't use it because I
don't have VB (I use ideas for c++)
(this is VB world right?)
|
11/28/2000 8:21:41 PM:Windows ME Thanks
Hey thanks for helping me with my
problem and windows me i draged the
ccrptmr6.dll to the regsvr32 and B2
worked thanks for you help. That
helped me so anyone who has windows me
that should fix any problems.
|
12/11/2000 5:16:48 PM:ProgramDude100@hotmail.com
amazing...I LOVE IT!
I am voting for
you again, but I'm waiting for B3, if
you are planning to make one!
You
should sell this product, it's
awsome!
P.S. Could you add the
compiled executable to the zip, as it
sometimes gives me errors since i use
vb5
|
12/18/2000 5:58:53 PM:v0doo600
Great code
but it slows my comp. down
a lot when i use this program.

|
12/28/2000 10:54:21 PM:DA
dude there ARE NO dll's in the zip... i
THOUGHT there were supposed to be and
this code gives me all kinds of errors
(probably because of the lack of files)
well anyway if you ever get a chance
you might want to throw those dll's
along with your code ;)
|
12/28/2000 10:59:22 PM:DA

Great Code!!!!!!

I've used your shell from 1 to now and
will continue to use it in the future
(It's the best), I get a error not in
your program but when visiting your
site some-times, Why? The error says
|
1/16/2001 7:02:17 PM:Bryan Fuzz
If there is a next version and What
time is it expected to be released? I'm
looking forward to using it very much.
I haven't seen a Shell that is better
then yours, not even Litestep. Also
from above the error is "Pokecenter2000
has been taken off line. We are sorry
for any inconvienence
HELLO!!!".
Thanks
|
1/23/2001 9:33:37 AM:Vasilis Sagonas
cool but stucks... and you also have to
check if the StartMenu/Programs
has
more items than can fit in screen. I
have over 100 items in my
startmenu/programs (because i'm on a
development server). Anyway, its cool
but if you don't add system tray and
safer environment (stacked 2 times on
me) it won't be usefull. Thanks, and
congratulations :-)

1/23/2001 12:33:34 PM:Marc
I have Windows 98. I registered the
DLLs and then ran the project and
nothing happened! I see you have
several folders with skins. Should i
get a form to choose the skin or just
what should happen?

2/24/2001 2:40:05 PM:ed
I need some help because I ain t a
good
computer addict and sometimes I
am stuck! It looks really nice , I hate
the current windows and tried lots of
other software but there are always
bugs so can somebody help me try this
new shell , especially in installing
it.
thanks a lot and my
congratulations to the author , looks
really nice .

The menus are a bit odd, When I get
deep into menus
(programs/acceeesories/communication)
the menus 'slide out' very very slow.
How do you fix this? I have got a 3d
card with 16mb of ram and a p3 700.
Your shell is the best and I want to
use it all the time. Can't wait for the
next version.

Brian, I have try many times to fix it
but still face the same problems, I

This code rocks.
I work on an NT4WS
and I've downloaded the MSIMG32.dll. It
actually works.
My only problem is
that I can't see my complete menu and
some icons in left corner are
disapeared also my old windows toolbar
still works. But I am sure that I can
work this out when I change the code a
little.
|
6/10/2001 5:14:18 AM:Matthew
Hey! really would like to use B2 but.
How can i make it my default shell
insteak of explorer? and what should i
do about the slow sliding menus?
thanks.
PS what is the website of
BoS?

8/12/2001 1:24:13 PM:X2D
Great code I have made something like
this almost as good and I am currently
working on a seperate OS ( Yes thats
possible :P ) and I will release it
sometime by christmas if anyone of you
is interested - it combines many linux
commands as well as windows interface
and much much more , stay tuned!
|
8/23/2001 1:26:43 PM:del

it thanks..

10/12/2001 11:26:27 PM:BAPWorld
One major problem here. If you have a
large programs menu, you can't acess
all of the menu items. Add a pager
type scrolling thing, so you can acess
all of the menu items.

10/27/2001 7:11:46 PM:WiKiD
got it to work on XP (Final
Version)
looks... interesting
the B2
buttons are bigger than the XP ones in
the taskbar, and the start button is
smaller, and it doesn't replace the
menus, it just kinda puts a transparent
B2 menu over it.
|
10/27/2001 7:17:53 PM:WiKiD
That last comment was kinda rash... I
have some more to add
so yeah, the
task bar looks all screwy because you
can kinda still see the old one,
also,
in the start menu, it shows a lot of
empty menu folder items
and I also
found that, in my documents, whenever I
tried to open something, it would be
like rightclicking the file and
choosing "Hex edit with Hex
Workshop"
I realize Windows XP
wasn't your target OS, so no biggy if
it doesn't work 100% on it.
Great
program, I've used it on Win 98 and
loved it.
|
12/15/2001 4:04:43 PM:Pyro
This is great coding, from what I see!
The problem is not your code though,
its my VB, so I can not run the project
file after I open it. Where would I be
able to download the latest B2.ExE file?
|
2/26/2002 10:02:42 PM:Andrew Allen
Hi,
Great program nice work, but
since these hobos cant get it to work,
i think you should add an exe to it so
they can see how great your program
really is, aslo you could sell this for
soooooooooooooo much $$$$ you would
could have a bed made of 100 dolar
bills, that is how good this coad
is.
Ps. you probably got this from
the coments but GREAT WORK!

Thanks in

8/14/2002 3:09:02 PM:MadMan
Cool but i'm curently working on
someting realy better, its will replace
the 'border on the form' including the
'X'... and if you wana load your shell
instead of windows shell, just replace
'explorer.exe' in your windows or
system directory by your own app but
name it 'Explorer.exe', the only
probler is the external call by other
app will not work because your
'Explorer.exe' will no longer have it.
sory for my por english. Good program
|
8/14/2002 3:18:15 PM:MadMan
hi against,
about the tray icon, i
think a ave a good idea, take no dll or
anything.
LOOK:
all tray icon use the
same Handle(hWnd)
so you just have to
manipulate it and put it into an other
hwnd, use function luke setwindows,
showwindows... with api anything is
possible..
My speciality is Handle
manipulation and 3D,2D graphical like
dx or manipulating picture.
Email me
if you want more info about Handle
manipulation like changing all windows
shell(including form header(the X and
...) with a program that use NO FORM!!!
only module and classes.

Alphablending.dll file: while the app
is running, copy the dll to st. else
/to remain after close/). The other
file can be found everywhere
:P.
"Nice" shell, but not much
function (but i won't be able to create
a better one :P).

DesktopButtonWidth - StartButtonWidth -
picTray.Width - MyComputerWidth -
picQuickstart.Width - (picGripper.Width
* 2)) / TaskbarButtonWidth) - 1
If

You can download AlphaBlending.dll at
http://www.vbtools.atelier.pl/vbtips.php
?plik=92
p.s this is awesome!
|

The imaging is unbelievable,
unfortunately even after transferring
the dll's to system folder and
registering them, there was dozens of
errors. As a word of advice perhaps
you should use Option Explicit.

I must admit the screenshot looks
great. too bad couldn't run it!
ERROR
MSG:
Can't find project or
library
"tmrShow As
ccrpTimer".
--------------------------
The zip when unzipped didn't contain
Alphablending.dll and ccrpTmr6.dll so
I couldn't run it...SORRY!!... In the
recycle bin it goes!
|
3/23/2003 8:34:09 AM:
How on earth am I suposed to download
any of the dll's from a site such as
http://www.vbtools.atelier.pl/vbtips.php
when I can't understand the language?
I'm sorry but the who page looks like
it's in 'gobble-di-gooke'.
|

here is a simple fix that would
probably take awhile. use real code not
DLLs. i will not even attempt to
download this because you 1.focus too
much on graphics not function 2.use
DLLs instead of real code i can learn
from!
|
4/12/2003 3:24:28 AM:
lose the DLLs
|
4/12/2003 4:54:02 PM:
click on the link that says
alphablending.
|

this line in
frmtaskbar.UpdateTaskbar():
For i = 0
To TaskbarButtons
should be:
For i =
0 To TaskbarButtons -1
this should get
rid of a subscript out of range error.
|
4/14/2003 1:30:18 PM:
the redundant subs can be done away
with too. instead of having a display
sub for each form that is identical to
the display sub in all the other forms
make one public sub and add an argument
to the call: something as form, so each
call would give you the form that needs
to be displayed so you can get the hdc
and something.show this would cut down
on redundant code and allow for a
smaller exe which takes up less memory
to run.
|
4/14/2003 1:38:41 PM:
redundant api declarations also need to
be dealt with, shellexecute should be
declared public once and then can be
used anywhere in the app. this also
saves memory and can improve
performance.

to the peeps that can't get b2 to work
in ME get a different OS. ME was an MS
mistake they will never live down. so
get rid of it. it crashes faster then
mac OS 8 started with a mac OS 7 system
disk.

hiya, I can't get a hold of a vb
compiler and i'm a newbie to boot. it'd
be great if there was an installer with
required dll's for this program? ...
Maybe that would solve all of the
problems people are experiencing ;) ...
(oh and yes i was looking around for a
shell replacement that has some
transpareny for windows98 even if it
does use 'fake' transparency, i'd wuv
to see it in action).
