Basic Point Of Sales system, created in Visual Basic 6 IDE
I fully commented the source code so anyone can modify and improve if needed
Some of the implemented technique in this project application are :
1.) Embedding executable files inside a Visual Basic Forms.
- Implemented in the splash form
- Also in the About form.
2.) Using PNG for images for butttons, product images and general user interface design, this made Visual Basic 6 Application look like an application created in modern IDE.
- This is implemented using an extra controls with an OCX file named LaVolpeAlphaImg2.ocx.
- To test the application, make sure to register the ocx file.
3.) Using text file as a flat file database for the application
4.) Using Windows API to retrieve the name of the currently logged in user that was used in the login forms.
NOTES :
- Although you can modify the code in a simple text editor, the code is developed in Visual Basic 6 IDE so it is also advisable that you edit and modify this code in VB6 editor.
- The code will reference the OCX file and 2 executable files I used in the splash screen and about form, to get this file so that you can test the code from VB6 IDE, go to http://danreb.com/freebies and download the zip file for this application. Alternatively you can download the package installer( example application ) there.
- The LoVelpeAlphaImg2.ocx was responsible for Alpha Image transparency and PNG images support in VB 6 forms.

PointofSale.vbp - the main file, open this in VB6 IDE
frmSplash.frm - the splash form

Because I used images JPG/PNG in the projects, VB6 IDE generate several .frx file for each form, so this is needed for cosmetic or user interface purpose of the app.

frmMain.frx - for the Main form
