OneOnly

Create single instance applications linked to associated file types. When the associated file is double clicked it will be handled by a single instance of your application. This lets your application act like Media Player rather than Notepad. Each time you double click a media file Media Player does not open a new window but re-uses the existing one. This is normally difficult to achieve in Visual Basic but the OneOnly control makes it simple and also allows you to create the associations between file types and your application. Extending the association allows you to add items to the right click pop-up context menu for your associated file types as well.

ShapedForm

Create irregular shaped forms easily based on the forms picture property. Add the control to the form and set the picture property then select which colour to become transparent. This control does the rest. You can even specify that the window can be dragged around the screen when the user clicks on any part of it. Also contains methods to refresh the transparency and pop up a system menu. Unregistered controls work in a limited Freeware mode so the control is still useful without purchasing a licence. Purchasing a licence releases the full potential of the control. ActiveX control for VB6.

HyperLabel

The Hyperlink control displays as a hyperlink (like the ones in web browsers) and can be customised for colour and underline for both hovered and unhovered states. The hovered state is displayed when the users mouse is positioned over the control. When the control is clicked it will perform an action which is customisable by the programmer: * Open a browser and navigate to the specified web page. * Create a new email message using the email client application installed on the end users computer. The programmer can customise the subject line and a single line of message text. The action of this email creation is identical to what happens when you click an email link in a web browser window. * Launch a file. This can be an exe file or a data file that Windows has an association for. For example if the target was a file named data.doc then Windows will open this document in MS Word if installed or possibly WordPad on those computers without MS Word. This action can include a commandline to pass to executable files and a default folder. By stating just a path then an explorer view of that path will be displayed. * Custom event. The control can raise an event so that the programmer can write code to determine the action taken when the control is clicked. Other Features: * The HyperLabel control recognizes the operating system and will use the shadowed hyperlink hand icon where available. * The control can be configured to have a transparent background so can sit on top of pictures, images and other controls. Unregistered controls work in a limited Freeware mode so the control is still useful without purchasing a licence. Purchasing a licence releases the full potential of the control.
