Membuat Frame Dari CommandButton Standar - Visual Basic 6

Penjelasan mengenai pembuatan objek Frame dari CommandButton standar - Guna mendukung pekerjaan pada posting sebelumnya, yakni mengenai pembuatan dialog options yang wajar, standar, profesional seperti kebanyakan software-software lainnya (themed TabStrip, themed PictureBox, transparent CheckBox, transparent Frame, transparent OptionButton), ada baiknya Anda mengetahui beberapa fakta berikut dengan memperhatikan gambar di bawah ini:

Gambar di atas memiliki tiga objek Frame. Nah, disini ada pertanyaan, apakah Frame tersebut benar-benar sebuah Class Frame? Apakah Frame tersebut merupakan sebuah Container? ternyata Frame tersebut bukanlah frame sebenarnya tetapi objek yang berasal dari Class Button dan juga bukan sebuah Container, ini bisa dibuktikan dengan cara melakukan spy terhadap tiga objek frame di atas. [Download EliteSpy+ Andrea Batina].

Nah, untuk membuat frame dari CommandButton Anda membutuhkan module API di bawah ini:
'Simpan pada form 
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" ( _
ByVal hWnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, _
ByVal wParam As Long, _
lParam As Any) As Long

Private Const
BM_SETSTYLE As Long = &HF4
Private Const BS_GROUPBOX As Long = &H7&

'Contoh penggunaan
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ClipControls = False
SendMessage Command1.hWnd, BM_SETSTYLE, BS_GROUPBOX, 0
End Sub

Sampai disini, mungkin Anda memiliki pertanyaan, mengapa tidak menggunakan objek Frame standar dan malah menggunakan Frame yang berasal CommandButton? tentu saja jawabannya sederhana, karena CommandButton terhook dengan 'ComCtl32.dll' sehingga ia bisa mengikuti warna TabStrip atau themed PictureBox yang telah dijelaskan terdahulu. bersambung ...

Catatan: Selain Frame yang berasal dari CommandButton, Anda pun bisa menggunakan Frame yang berasal dari XPControl.OCX yang dibuat oleh Mirko Marchese.


Akhirnya, saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada Giorgio Brausi (Gibra) pemilik situs VBCorner atas pengetahuan di atas.

PictureBox Yang Diberi Theme/Style - Visual Basic 6

Menjelaskan mengenai cara memberi theme pada object PictureBox - Apabila kita memperhatikan pada posting sebelumnya mengenai ToolBar, TabStrip, TreeView, dan ListView XP Style Tanpa Kode, maka kita akan melihat jelas object TabStrip yang memiliki theme. Nah, object TabStrip tersebut umumnya (tidak selalu) membutuhkan beberapa PictureBox dalam melakukan tugasnya, yang menjadi persoalan sekarang PictureBox tersebut apabila digunakan bersamaan dengan TabStrip akan memiliki perbedaan warna yang mencolok dan ini menyebabkan rancangan GUI yang kurang baik, bagaimana kita mengatasi permasalahan ini? Perhatikan gambar Setting Winrar di bawah ini:

Setidaknya ada dua cara untuk memberi mengatasi masalah PictureBox di atas, pertama memberi theme pada PictureBox, alternatif yang kedua adalah Fake Gradient dengan menyelaraskan warna PictureBox dengan warna TabStrip yang gradient.

Just One Click - LaVolpes Manifest Creator - Tools VB6

Tools VB6 ini - [VB6] XP/Vista/Win7 Manifest Creator - diambil dari sebuah Thread milik LaVolpe yang terdapat di situs VBForums - Setelah beberapa kali mencoba Manifest Creator yang dibuat oleh LaVolpe ternyata hasilnya sangat baik dan memuaskan dengan adanya fitur merger terhadap file resource yang telah ada. Walaupun demikian dalam penggunaannya sedikit merepotkan, terutama jika Anda memiliki banyak project yang harus ditambahkan manifest resouce. Akhirnya saya berinisiatif untuk merubahnya menjadi sebuah Add-Ins, sehingga sekarang memiliki fitur tambahan 'Just One Click'.

Download: LaVolpe's Manifest Creator.

Cara menggunakan:
  1. Ekstrak file, double klik install.bat untuk meregistrasikan komponen
  2. Buka project baru, atau project yang telah Anda buat.
  3. Klik menu Add-Ins >> ManifestCreator >> Create Manifest.
