Visual Basic - Projects
All are for VB version 6.
Here's a sampler of in-house developed VB applications that are either simple or
useless enough to share for free. Executable code is included, and in cases also source
code. As these are just experimental applications there is no proper documentation, so use
them at your own risk.
| Application |
Description |
Requirements |
| Agent |
Tests MS Agent in terms of speaking messages and gesturing. MS Agent must be installed
prior to use. You can either write your own text or paste in from other applications. |
MS Agent |
| DigiCalc |
A simple tool for calculating resolutions, ratios etc for digital cameras. Most
combinations are supported, but probably not all. The most valuable calculation is to
convert a megapixel value into the horizontal and vertical resolutions. |
|
| Hedgehog |
A spoof of the rat, hedgehog, whatever bashing game. Simple. Not even graphics. |
|
| Httpload |
A simple application that shows how to download web content asynchronously. Received data is stored in a file, and the HTTP header is
ignored (the application can easily be changed to store also that and/or analyze it). A
proper downloader would of course name the file after the URL ending etc. |
|
| Mayflower |
Draws a colorful circular pattern (based on different sine
calculations) that is constantly regenerated. For the best results the screen should be
set to 24-bit or 32-bit color and the application window should be maximized.
Doesn't do anything useful except looking nice. |
|
| MIDIThru |
This application serves two purposes:
1. Provides MIDI Thru between e.g. a MIDI keyboard and the PC's audio card or any other
MIDI device
2. Displays the messages received, including shorter System Exclusive messages.
Uses Mabry's (now free) OCX, which has proven to be simple to use. The application is easy
to expand. The precise timing function of the Mabry OCX seems to be
flawed, so it's not used. |

| QuikMail |
A simple email send/receive application that uses the Simple MAPI controls, and
therefor serves as a template for use of those controls. You both view and compose
messages in the same dialog (which is kind of neat and unique). Lacks a lot of features
that are required in a real email application, but shows how easy it is to use MAPI. |
Email client supporting MAPI |
| RGBShow |
Simplest possible (?) application for showing colors based on RGB selection via scroll
bars or numeric values. Try 'Random': Very odd colors pop up. |
|
These applications can be obtained through licensing. Custom development
can be made on demand.
| Application |
Description |
Requirements |
| Notify |
An email notifier that displays a banner, speaks a message or launches an application
every time a new message is received. Tested with Outlook and Outlook Express (so far). It
uses MAPI, so it should work with any MAPI compliant email client. It also uses MS Agent,
so it needs to be installed on the PC beforehand. |

| Snapper |
Snapper enables configuration, capturing and downloading of pictures
from Olympus cameras. Follow the link for a detailed data sheet. |
