Flat Combo Boxes
ok, i searched google, i searched the site, but didnt find anything re: a flat combo box, any help here, i know you have to subclass it and i have no clue on how to change the way a control looks through subclassing, i kind of have the jist of intercepting button down events and things regarding the mouse, but what about visually? any help would be great, because i tried downloading examples of planet source code, and they dont work, they either are not "Real" combo boxes and/or thier not subclassed correctly and makes vb crash on load, here is a project that i got that is supposed to subclass a combo into being flat, but when i run it, it crashes my vb, maybe you guys can tell me whats wrong

Flat Combo Boxes??
I, like most people, dont like the look of 3D lists, text boxes, etc. This isnt a problem however because you can change the appearance to flat and they look good again. Why doesnt this work with combo boxes??
i set the appearance to flat but it still looks 3D, therefore ruining the look of my program, any ideas??

Making Flat Combo Boxes
By setting the appearance property of most controls, you can turn them 'flat', getting rid of the default 3d beveling effect. However some controls do not change even when the appearance setting is changed to 'flat'.
Upon searching the forum, I found a thread that discussed this matter but no-one came up with a solution except for paying for an ocx.
But... perhaps there is a way to do it that doesnt involve paying for ocx'es.
If you use a text box, image control and listbox (which does support a 'flat' appearance) you could assemble your own flat combobox.
I have put together a simple example.
I originally posted this as a reply in the original thread, but I got a warning about posting in old (6months) threads. So I thought i'd put this in a new thread instead.
note: i added the pictures i used in the image to the zip.

Combobox, Apearance FLAT = NOT FLAT?
Hello group,
I prefer to use 'flat' textboxes (appearance = 0-Flat) and stuff. Why is it that a combox with the property appearance set to 0-flat isn't flat but 3d?
Can it be fixed?
Are there any other options?
regards,

Flat GDI+
Hello, does anybody have an example of declaration and use of the GDI+ flat API function GdipLoadImageFromFile()?
It's simple, whatever I pass in the first parameter, the function keeps returning 3 ("Out of Memory").
Thanx.
PD. No TLB, no wrappers. Only plain access to GDI+ please.

Flat Appearance
Is there any Functions or API is available for Flat setting ?
In my application I want to set the control's appearance to Flat. Currently all controls are showing as 3D. By clicking one button, all controls should be changed to Flat.
Earlier I had try APIs, but no luck. Then I was trying to make flat by looping (Taking all controls and making flat in a loop), But it is too slow and it is taking some time
Is there any short method ?
Thanks in Advance

Flat Scroll Bar
I need a flat scroll bar for my .ocx but I want it to respond to the mouse wheel when it has the focus like a normal scroll bar would
I have 3 ideas on this and help with any or an alternative suggestion would be appreciated (I can't use SetCapture, and would prefer not to hook)
1)make flat scrollbar respond to mouse wheel
2)make the normal scrollbar's backcolor grey to look like a flat scroll bar
3) use a flat scrollbar with a hidden normal scrollbar that has the focus, and which move in unison (problem here is it only works when you can see the normal scrollbar)

Flat Controls
Guys and Gals,
I have been handed a requirement to convert and existing Access database system to a visual basic project. I have spec'd the project and only have one problem remaining. The user interface. The client wants the vb app to look exactly like the existing database. The only problem I am having is using flat controls. I need to create a series of flat controls (combo, textbox and listbox) and be able to change the border colours of each one. I have managed to create activex "copies" of each one but am having trouble adding a border to ecah that I can change the colour of. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can do this?

GDI+ Flat API Calls In VB.net
I have been looking high and low for any sort of information on using the GDI+ flat api calls using .net. Specifically GdipLoadImageFromFile, but for that matter I cannot even get GdiplusStartup to return successfully.
Heres a little context for the use. This is for a thumbnail generator, the problem is that when you call the functions in the wrapper classes it automatically does something called "image data validation". This is terribly slow, and apparently is recognized by Microsoft as a problem which they do have a patch for. Unfortunatly, they are keeping a death grip on it until the next framework service pack. Here is a link to the KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;831419
with the fix installed, you can load images from disk 97% faster. Thats a pretty serious increase. There is a gentleman who has coded a workaround in the meantime, it appears to be in C#. I am wholly unfamilier with C# and have been trying for quite a while now to convert this code to VB. Here is the link to his workaround:
http://weblogs.asp.net/justin_rogers...31/105296.aspx
I have seen posts by OnError written a little more then a year ago that accomplished something similar to this in VB6, I have studied his code as well. but am still unable to make it work correctly.
Here is what I have so far, perhaps it's something simple that I am overlooking.
Code:
Declare Function GdiplusStartup Lib "gdiplus.dll" (ByVal token As Long, ByRef inputbuf As GdiplusStartupInput, ByVal outputbuf As Long) As Long
Declare Sub GdiplusShutdown Lib "gdiplus.dll" Alias "GdiplusShutdown" (ByVal gToken As Long)
Declare Function GdipLoadImageFromFile Lib "gdiplus.dll" Alias "GdipLoadImageFromFile" (ByRef FilenameW As String, ByRef gImage As Long) As Long
Structure GdiplusStartupInput
Dim GdiplusVersion As Long
Dim DebugEventCallback As Long
Dim SuppressBackgroundThread As Long
Dim SuppressExternalCodecs As Long
End Structure
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim tStartup As GdiplusStartupInput
Dim token As Long
tStartup.GdiplusVersion = 1
Dim ret As Long
ret = GdiplusStartup(token, tStartup, 0)
Dim hnd As Long
ret = GdipLoadImageFromFile(Application.StartupPath + " est.jpg", hnd)
Dim ptr As New IntPtr(hnd)
Dim bmp As Bitmap = Image.FromHbitmap(ptr)
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

VB6 & Flat Files
Which Connection String do I use for Flat Text Files? I am trying to write a program that will examine the files for accuracy before they are sent to the actual databases. I do not want them to be able to write, just read. If there are errors, they need to go back to the originating system and make the corrections.
