Programming

Here is some source code for VB 5

READ VERY CAREFULLY:

The code in this page is to be used ONLY as a demonstration not to gain for yourself or otherwise. I am not in anyway responsible for problems connected with these proggies.

To copy this code, simply highlight the area you want and paste it into your form. Although it looks strange, it does work - TRUST ME.

Easy fax: (My own program that lets you send faxes simply: Not tested)

To a blank form add a textbox called Text1, a Command button called cmdCopy, another called cmdDial and a MSComm object and add the following code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub cmdDial_Click()
Clipboard.GetText
Let Text = comOne
Dim A$
A$ = txtDial
If A$ = "" Then
MsgBox "Mark and copy a number first."
Exit Sub
End If
comOne.CommPort = 1
comOne.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
comOne.PortOpen = True
comOne.Output = "ATDT" & A$ & vbCr
MsgBox "Dialing " & A$ & vbCrLf & "Pick up the phone...", _
vbOKOnly, "Dial-A-Phone"
comOne.PortOpen = True

End Sub

Private Sub cmdCopy_Click()
Clipboard.Clear ' Clear Clipboard.
Clipboard.SetText Text1.Text ' Put text on Clipboard.

End Sub

Clip-Clearer: (My own program that allows the clip-board's contents to be cleared.)

To a blank form, add a Command button called cmdClear and an explanation label, and add this code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
lblVersion.Caption = "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision
lblProductName.Caption = App.Title
End Sub

Designer clock: (My own program that lets you take any BMP picture, and add it to the back-round of the clock. For tis you need 4 forms: An about form called frmAbout, a splash screen called frmSplash, and two normal forms: 1 named frmClock and the other named frmClock2. You will then need: A picture box called picBackGround on frmClock, a timer named tmrClock and set to an interval of 100. On frmClock2, add a Command button called cmdOk, another called cmdCancel, a picture box called picHourColor, another called picMinuteColor and lastly, another named picMinuteColor. Then add the following code:

frmAbout

frmSplash

Not what you may think. It, when loaded, tells the victim that they have a virus and gives them the option to delete all files or close. Of course, the Close doesn't work...
You need two forms four command buttons (don't name them at all) and two lables - one on Form1: Install Square-edit for windows 95? then under that the buttons. On form2: Fatal virus (Location OE110000000) and then add this code:

Form1:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form2.Show
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub

Form2:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Unload Me
MsgBox "He-he!!! What a Joke!!!", vbExclamation

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
MsgBox "This function is not available", vbCritical

End Sub

(You may have to add some alterations to this code.)

If that looks like too much hard work, then e-mail me for the compiled version.

Watch this space:

This is only the first few sample programs to appear here. Within a couple of weeks, there should be many more. If you don't have VB 5, e-mail me for them and I will
send them via e-mail in a nice posh little install package.
