Hi All,

Life has been pretty busy recently and I've had to shelve my personal programming projects for the moment.

It's simple enough to do the DLL. Simply make a class and use all static functions. You will then need to run another program to fix it into a standard DLL

The class for the DLL in my demo:

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing
Public Class Class1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Structure eStack
        Dim Gadget As Integer
        Dim EventType As Integer
        Dim EventASC As Integer
        Dim EventScan As Integer
    End Structure
    Structure ControlInfo
        Dim repaintme As Integer
    End Structure

    Shared Gadget(1) As Object 'Control
    Shared stat(1) As ControlInfo
    Shared GadgetCount As Integer
    Shared EventStack(1000) As eStack
    Shared EventPointer As Integer
    Shared Function FreeG() As Integer
        Dim ind As Integer
        For ind = 1 To UBound(Gadget)
            If Gadget(ind) Is Nothing Then
                Return ind
            End If
        Next
        ReDim Preserve Gadget(UBound(Gadget) + 1) : ReDim Preserve stat(UBound(stat) + 1)
        Return UBound(Gadget)
    End Function
    Shared Function GetHandle(ByVal gad As Integer) As Integer
        Dim c As Control
        Dim i As Int32
        c = Gadget(gad)
        i = c.Handle.ToInt32
        Return i
    End Function
