final benchmark project..

Very nice project - especially the
skins ! Good job !!! Excellent vote !
|
10/6/2000 5:50:38 AM:TG
Great Stuff ! - how did you do the
graphics for the skins?
|
10/6/2000 8:58:21 AM:JF
Can we use it in our own programs
|
10/6/2000 10:20:45 AM:Aurthor
Thanks everyone for the comments. You
all may use these skins in your own
program if you wish. All I ask is that
you mention my name somewhere in the
code. (My name is Jeff Deaton) Thanx
!
Reguarding the database stuff,
just commment it out. I'm not using a
DB with this program just yet anyway.
When the login screen appears, just
click the Login button. You don't need
a PW to get in. Once you're in the
program, click the Colors toolbar
button to go and start changing skins.

By the way, if anyone knows how to
resize a borderless form, I would LOVE
to know. I can't figure it out and/or
find the API to do it. Cio...

Thank you everyone for the nice
comments and excellent ratings. Very
much appreciated !! (Taking suggestions
too)...

I got this library missing : Microsoft
ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library. Any
ideas as to where I can get it from?
This looks cool so once I've got it
working you'll deserve another vote!
|
10/6/2000 5:33:31 PM:Nick Johnson
For resizing a borderless form:
One
way would be to place a thin label
along each border and trap
mousedown/mousemove events. Also, there
is code somewhere here in PSC for
resizing a borderless form.

I'm not saying you stole the code
anywhere or anything <great code
infact> but don't you think you should
give some credit to the artists instead
of saying you made the art <I
downloaded this art for WindowBlinds
off their site>, but if it is your art
and I'm mistaken sorry.
|
10/6/2000 8:28:38 PM:TO: Simon Price and Everyone else
Forget about the database stuff (DAO,
ADO, ActiveX) etc. in the code. You can
go through and remove all of that and
remove any references to it as well.
They are not used at this point as I'm
still working on this program for my
company and haven't put in the SQL
Server DB Connection stuff yet.
|
10/7/2000 5:13:45 AM:Simon Price
OK, got it working, very cool! Although
you said there were no API calls, but
there are. I can see SendMessage and
ReleaseCapture for starters. But apart
from that this is great!
|
10/7/2000 10:40:49 AM:Aurthor (Jeff Deaton)
OK, there are some api calls, but I
meant that there are no API calls for
using the skins :). The API's that are
there are for moving the borderless
forms.
|
10/7/2000 7:36:26 PM:Nathan Chere
5 stars for the code,
-5 stars for the
lame skin graphics.
Luckily for you
I'm only voting for the code :)
If you
want some GOOD ORIGINAL skins done for
free, just ask me.

Public Declare Function MoveWindow Lib
"user32" Alias "MoveWindow" (ByVal hwnd
As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As
Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal
nHeight As Long, ByVal bRepaint As
Long) As Long
You need to specify
the same x and y as your form has
current or it will move to the upper
left of the screen...
|
10/10/2000 4:44:13 PM:Eric Malamisura
Sorry forgot to mention what thats
for..You can resize forms with that api
call despite the form type..I used this
a while back to get rid off them free
banners on free isp's..I just mad the
banner really small and moved it to
like -2000 on my screen..that was
before they caught on and now they
ignore api calls lol...Eric
Malamisura..Hope that helps..later

Anyone know where I can download all
the skins for free? Thanks in advance.
|
10/20/2000 5:00:31 PM:info
this is not right...please give those
artist that truly made that art some
credit, you do know its illegal what
you have done under copyright laws, as
someone has said before, they are skinz
from windowsblinds.....
|
10/22/2000 7:45:53 PM:Jeff Deaton (Aurthor)
I DID mention the original artwork was
done by windowblinds. Although I have
made considerable modifications to the
skins, I am mainly demonstrating the
skin CODE here.
|
10/24/2000 12:46:38 PM:Jeff Deaton (Aurthor)
Note to all who have criticized me on
using stardock windowblind skins. I
know you didn't know this, but I have
asked each artist for permission to use
they're skin in my companie's program
that I'm writing for them as long as I
mention their name(s) in the Splash
screen and/or in the code. I HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NOT USED ANY SKIN THAT
PERMISSION WASN'T GIVEN TO ME TO USE.
(Just FYI before anyone else complains
that I STOLD the skins) :)

You can't spell Author. There's only 1
'R' in it.

Great. VERY VERY Great.
My program got
a killer look with it!

I am i only one that noticed this code
requires you to replace all your
checkboxes, command buttons, and radio
buttons with images? Maybe i'm missing
something, but that means this code can
not be used with an existing project.
You need to build a new project with
the idea of skinning it right from the
start. WindowsBlinds may be expensive,
but it doesn't require this amount of
extra work.
|
11/20/2000 1:43:01 AM:rod
this apps is great, can u give an idea
how can i make my own skin thanks
|
11/30/2000 2:43:23 PM:Jotaf98
Hey, I have a suggestion:
What about
making of this a group of controls so
it can be used in any app:
One that
automatically makes itself the size of
the form and has the resize, move,
control box etc code already in it,
then all you have to do is make the
form borderless, dump the control in it
and send it to back so it doesn't hide
other controls!
And some basic
controls like command buttons, radio
buttons, check boxes, lists, labels
that automatically set themselves the
right color...
This would be really
useful, all you had to do would be one
control for each form and replace your
controls with the new ones!
Also, it
would be easy if you just had to
specify the folder of the skin and it
had the info and all the images in it!
|
11/30/2000 2:44:42 PM:Jotaf98
Forgot to mention, great code, keep up
with the good work ;)
|
12/15/2000 10:28:04 PM:Y.Lessard
I do like you're project. i have made
many modifications to you're project ,
if you would like to have the result
just let me know.

2/28/2001 12:31:52 PM:Liquid Khaos
I love your skin demo. It was the
nicest implimentation I have seen so
far. I am trying to skin the MDI Form.
Any Ideas on that?
|
5/22/2001 10:09:56 AM:Epzilon
To fix the database error you get, do
like this...
Load and run the project,
it'll give you an error about library
not found or something and the
reference dialog will popup. Remove
check on the 2 missing references. Run
project again and comment the constants
and subs linked to DB stuff.

enough to use it!

This code is excellent, I read you are
working on it, are you gonna let us see
future versions ?, can you give us a
clue on how to connect the application

Are we allow to use your code, or any
part of it for our own projects.
I am
thinking of a project and I was
planning to alter your code, the thing
is that I am learning VB, I think that
is the best way to learn but I would
like to know if that is ok with you

I've tried to run the program, but each
time I get the following Error:
Can
not find Project or Library
It gets
stuck on:
Global FS as New
FileSystemObject
I've tried to locate
the library with no success. Please
assist.
|
4/26/2002 11:32:33 AM:Nathanael B
Wow, nice work! 4 Stars!
D Wenrich:
You don't have the Scripting Runtime
library which includes the
FileSystemObject. I'm not sure where to
get it.. Windows Scripting homepage
would be a good place to start.
