This card demo/tutorial covers most of the major things you
might need when beginning a new card game. 1. How to call the
Cards.dll/Cards32.dll 2. How to use the functions in the .dll
file 3. How to initialize your deck(s) 4. How to shuffle cards
I didn't include how to find out which card was clickedHow to
find out which card is clicked.because it is totally dependant
on the positioning and offset of the cards on the form.

Great. Is awesome for vb6 & earlier.
But useless for .net and newer.
Though some portions are learnable, its better to go with other examples if one has to start from scratch, than to use this one.
Great example

The example works good but on vb6 if you minimise the window all of the cards disappear. :s........ same if you move another window over the card game.
does anyone have this problem???
any suggestions??????
Good.

The intention of this demonstration program was not to show the best ways of presentation for the card games, it was only to show how to use the dll in games, and therefore the author has done well in doing so.
The simplest way to avoid this erasing problem is to use subs with names like "ShowHands" or "DrawDeck" to be ran every time an event happens to the form.
Such as activate, paint, maximize, etc.
In those subs you redraw all cards on the form. Another way would be to use images.
Put 53 invisible images on the form. One with each card in it, and one with the back style.
Then set preplaced images in the "Hands" position to equal the other images.
limited in functionality

Can additional functions be include to test for values, suits, placeholders so that drag and discards can be coded? Also block/unblock and enable/disable cards from play?

Yes. The easiest way to do this would be to create a new type. As so:
Type Card
Index as Integer
Value as Integer
Suit as String
Locked as Boolean
etc....
End Type
Then, when assigning your values you would do this:
in a for next loop
TheDeck(i).Index = your data.....
TheDeck(i).value = your data.....
TheDeck(i).Locked = your data.....
Then you also reassign these values while shuffling, dealing etc, and you can read all of the information at any time to determine the Cards info.
Thanks for the comments. Keep them coming

You just can't get this info anywhere.

We need more tuts like this one throughout all aspects of Visual Basic!
