Everybody knows that the VB timer is not much accurate: about 10 milliseconds on Windows NT and 50 milliseconds on Win9.x. In addition, the interval value is a Integer value so you can't choose an interval greater that just over 1 minute. If you need greater accuracy or longer intervals, the MB HiTimer is the right control. It has a accuracy of 1 ms and an Interval property specified as a Long value. This control includes the CountDown and the StopWatch methods to benchmarck your routines. The package includes both the control and a class module with the same features, so that you can use this better timer even if you don't have a form to place a control. You can gets notifications from the class through standard events or though a secondary interface.

Place this control on a form to immediately achieve splitting capabilities. It works as a container control, and the controls you drop on it will be automatically resized when the end user moves the splitter bars. You can control the splitter bar's size, color, and position, and programmatically assign controls to its two panes. The SplitBegin and SplitComplete events inform you when the drag operation begins and ends, so your code can do any additional processing as required.

This extended ListBox control adds many features that are missing in the standard VB control, such as support for bitmaps, control on the height, forecolor, backcolor, and font of individual list items, a horizontal scrollbar, text indentation. The MBListEx control is great to display a list of custom or system colors.

Add this control to a VB form and enjoy a number of great new features, including: the control over the size and position of the form when maximized, automatic resizing for fonts and controls (including controls that are added dynamically), transparent background, new items to system menu, the capability to be Always-on-top and to flash the caption to draw user's attention, and the FullScreen mode. The MBFormEx control exposes also a number of events that should have added to VB forms, such as ActivateApp and DeactivateApp, CompactingMemory, DisplayChanged, DragDropFiles, ItemSelect, Move, and SysItemClick (that fires when a system menu item has been clicked).

This OCX is about 60kb in size.
This is an unbound grid control. Data is added using the AddItem and RemoveItem methods or by setting the Rows property and then entering data into the TextMatrix.
With about 25 properties, methods and events this control does all the basics, without all the overhead of the features which you probably wont use anyway.
