Log in screen:
Choose a standard exe, then add two text boxes and a command button. Set it out how you would like it, then double click the command button and enter the text below into it.

Quote:
if text1.text = "username" and text2.text = "password" then
form1.hide
form2.show
else msgbox "Wrong information try again."
end if
Where "username" & "password" you will want to change, then right click on the right hand side where you see your form and add a second form. Then just decorate it a bit and you are done.

Basically the IF dialog is just a set of instructions so we are basically telling VB6 if the text in textbox 1 & 2 match the given information then we will hide the login form and make the second form visible, or else we show a message box displaying an error message.

Using progress bars:
Choose a standard exe form, then right click on the left hand toolbar and click components, then scroll down to "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6" and select it and press OK.

Now you will see some new tools find the progress bar and insert it onto your form, now drag a timer onto there as well. Depending on what you would like to use the progress bar for you may want to do this different so any questions PM me and I'll help as best I can. But for now we will just make it go from left to right, so double click on the timer and type in this.

Quote:
ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1 +1
That will make the progress bar go up by 1, now on the timer change the interval value to 20 or what ever you want(remember that the timer goes in milliseconds so 1000 = 1 second, this is a quick demo so this will make the progress bar go straight from left to right).

Now you want to put on another timer and set the interval to 5 and put the following code onto it(double click the timer)

Quote:
If ProgressBar1.Value = 99 Then
ProgressBar1.Value = 0
End If
The reason this timer is set at 5 is because the refresh has to be faster then the timer that is powering the progress bar. Now hit start and watch your bar go!.

Displaying local IP:
Choose a standard exe form, then add a text box and a label, now on the label change the caption from the right hand side menu to "Local IP" or what ever you want it to say. Clear the text from the text box as well then right click the tool bar menu on the left and go to components and locate "Microsoft win sock control" and activate it and press OK.

Now you have to double click the main form(the thing you put your text box and label onto) and then write this into the function bit.

Quote:
text1.text = winsock1.localIP
As a reminder any code that is put into the form itself is automatically loaded at start up.

I will update this more later and add some pictures, if there is something you don't get then post up and I'll try to make it more clearer. ]]> Konkor http://www.consolespot.net/forums/pc-software-hardware-mods/27631-tutorial-vb-6-basic-stuff.html Handy PC Software http://www.consolespot.net/forums/pc-software-hardware-mods/27618-handy-pc-software.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:01:54 GMT I usually come to sites seeing people ask for software that will help speed up your computer or let you download YouTube videos. Well in this thread, I'll be posting some alternatives to the over priced, bloated commercial software here.

I'll update it as soon as I find the software. If you'd like to contribute something, post a link for it and I'll add it. Please make sure to include the price.

Note: Don't post anything like TuneUp or Norton.

Downloaders

Orbit Downloader: This handy program allows you to download rich media (Flash videos, Flash games, etc.) alongside with other crap. It can also be used as a very decent download accelerator. Price: Free

Free Studio: This pack comes with some really nice, simple YouTube downloaders and media converters. Price: Free

MiPony: This program is a batch downloader for many popular sites including MegaUpload, RapidShare, 4Shared, and many others. Price: Free

Media Players

GOM Player: This is a universal media program similar to VLC Player. It supports all types of media and if it can't play a ceartain codec, it automatically downloads and installs it. Price: Free

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack: This amazing codec pack installs all known codecs for all players on your computer. It even comes with many DVD video tools. Price: Free

VLC Media Player: This is arguably the most popular open source media player. It can play all codecs for both music and videos. Price: Free

Tuners and Anti-Viruses

CCleaner: This is one of my most favorite programs. This nifty program will clean most of the temporary and junk files off of your computer, fix Registry errors, acts as an uninstaller, and can fix some Windows errors. Price: Free

Auslogics Disk Defrag: This program is a very nice and faster alternative to the Windows defrager. Price: Free

ESET Anti-Viruses: In my opinion, thses are the best antis there are. The Smart Security comes with an amazing firewall that alerts you of any traffic and an astounding anti-virus. The NOD32 anti is basically the same minus the firewall. Price: Various

CD Tools

Alcohol 120%: This program is very similar to Daemon Tools but has a few more things. I really like it for its virtual drives, and burning and ripping tools. You can also create ISO files with it. Price: $50.00

IMG Burn: I love this program mainly because it's free. This is a great tool if you need to burn a a CD image really fast and efficiently.
