SetLine

Sets a 3D line on the screen

Syntax: Setline Object, Y, [LineStyle]

Object: Form or PictureBox
Y: The y-coordinate of the line to appear
LineStyle: (Optional) True or False
   True: Sets the line raised (default)
   False: Sets the line inset

Remarks:
* The objects Scale-property must be set to 3 (pixel) and AutoRedraw = True
* The LineStyle is False by default (inset)
* Best effect with standard forms - with a grey background
 
Examples

SetLine Form1, 20 'sets a line on Form1, on Y-position = 20, inset
SetLine Form2, 55, 1  'sets a line on Form2, on Y-position = 55, raisedt
SetLine Picture1, 10, 0  'sets a line on Picture1, on Y-position = 10, inset

NumChr

Will type only the characters: * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
This function must be called from the KeyPress-event
This is usefull for textboxes where only numbers may be typed.

Remark:

The enter-code (13) and backspace-code (8) still works

Example:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
KeyAscii = NulChr(KeyAscii)

All characters are typed in upper-case
When you type: abcde or AbCDe, the textbox displays always ABCDE

CryptText Function

Syntax: CryptText(CrTxt, CrCode)

CrTxt: The text to be crypted
CrCode: The cryption-code. This must be in the range of 1 - 255.

Remarks:
* This is an easy way to crypt a text.
* To uncrypt, call the same function again (with the same cryption-code !!!)
* A CrCode of 0 cannot be used, because the text will not be changed.

Examples:

A = CryptText("This is an example, 1)
Label1.caption = CryptText("This is another example, 155)

A full example:
' Start a new project and add a Command-button and a Label
' Put the CryptText-function in a module
' Press the command button to crypt the text
' Press the command button again to decrypt the text

Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption = "This is a test" & vbCr & "to see what happens"
