Yes! A module that creates gradients! This BAS file will seperate a color into red, green, and blue with one sub, then create a gradient in another. This BAS allows horizontal, vertical, or circular gradients to be created for your VB projects easily! It also has a quality feature, if your gradient is particularly large. This BAS can write to any control that can be drawn on. No API! UPDATED!!! This code can now create a gradient in ANY SHAPE OR SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!! Also added in the update: Common Dialog boxes for color picking, click the from and to boxes showing the sample color to get a common dialog for the appropriate one. Also new, is the feature to save your gradient as a bitmap file!
