Back again! It took a while to get this stuff working, but I hope you'll agree it was worth the wait...
 ComboBoxEx Owner Drawn Combo Box. An all VB implementation
of the ComboBoxEx control. Great for VB5 users and also adds facilities not available in the VB6 version.
Owner-draw support allows you to draw your own combo boxes, and the control also has built in support for
colour, drive and font picking.
Using the System Image List With (and Without) vbAccelerator controls. Provides
a class making it easy to access the system Image List. Sample code demonstrates a cool Owner-Draw
version of the VB FileListBox.
Save VB Pictures to JPEG. Code demonstrates how to use the free
Intel® JPEG library with the cDIBSection class.
Goldfish upgraded so it includes the new CoolMenu Toolbar
control, and also to fix some minor bugs with its file handling.
Version 2.1 of the Owner Draw Combo and List Box control
has been released. This is a
minor update to the control, which fixes problems with the Auto-complete code, some font and drawing
issues and adds some extra events. Read about the updates.
Lots of great new Icons in the Icon Library, including a great collection
of Win2000 icons and several new picture strips for the Toolbar and
Image List controls.
We've had a minor redesign - I hope this makes the site a bit easier to navigate!
Also there is now the facility to Search the entire text of the site.

Despite being promised for January, this release seems to have made its way almost into March. This was unfortunately caused by an bug in Microsoft's C runtime library working out daylight saving hours. Probably.
Also at release 2, the Flat Combo-box Extender DLL has
been re-written from the ground up, not just to cast off its MFC origins, but also
so it emulates more closely the Office 97 combo box style and works with other controls too.
More samples of cool things you should be able to do with VB but you can only do by using
subclassing.
Check out:
Its MultiMedia time! New in the vbMedia section:
A minor fix to the CommonDialog/Direct library allowing
you to use the File Open dialog to pick multiple files. New Tips - combo and text box borders, bit manipulation,
detecting if Internet files are in the cache. What's ComingIn store at vbAccelerator -
Oh, and just for fun, read this: Feedback
received by CCRP on their controls. A member of CCRP's downloading public, despite being
several sandwiches short of a picnic, attempts to make a point about COM
and Version compatibility. This amuses vbAccelerator a lot.
More madness please!
