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 starstarstarstarstar   Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2003

Great for win32 applcations

ok code, but..... starstarstar   Posted on Monday, July 04, 2005

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. starstarstarstar   Posted on Thursday, September 01, 2005

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 starstarstar   Posted by: Jacobi on Thursday, December 01, 2005

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?

Reply to previous question (Not rated)   Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005

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

Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. It is a good thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/
