Nine Patch PNGs for VB6
Description
NPPNG project includes cNinePatch.cls for 9-patch parsing/handling and ctxNineButton.ctl custom user-control for transparent animated buttons with states based on 9-patches.
Source usage
Just include src/cNinePatch.cls in your projects to be able to load and draw 9-patches in user-defined sizes.
Add src/ctxNineButton.ctl and src/mdNineButton.bas for the transparent windowless button control, with states based on nine-patches.
In ctxNineButton you can set conditional compilation constant ImplHasTimers to False to disable control state-transition animations. In this case src/mdNineButton.bas will not be depended on anymore and the control becomes self-contained in src/ctxNineButton.ctl.
