PP Controls provides the embedded visual basic programmer (eVB) with a selection of controls. The controls are:
- Date and Time Picker
- Month Calendar
- Trackbar
- Up-Down Control
- Numeric pop-up keypad
- Sketch & signature
- Progress bar
By using these controls in your eVB program you provide the user with a friendlier, more efficient and professional GUI.
The controls are added to your project using CreateObject,
they are not provided as ActiveX controls in the eVB editor. However by
using
the concept of placeholders, the new controls can be accurately placed
on your
eVB forms. Simply place a TextBox on the form where you want
the control
to appear, the new control will then occupy the same position.
Placeholder and Parent window
If the style PC_PLACEHOLDER is specified, then hWnd is the window handle of a control which defines the size, postion, and font of the new control. Typically a textbox is placed on the form using the eVB editor and textbox.hwnd used to specify the placeholder. The placeholder is then hidden.
If the style PC_PLACEHOLDER is not used, then the hWnd specified is the parent window for the new control. The parent window is typically a form or frame. The handle can be specified using form1.hwnd or frame1.hwnd. The font of the new control corresponds to the font of the parent form or frame.
