The Calendar
This is the ultimate in customizable calendar controls. It displays a month-at-a-time view. Settable properties include: Day/Month/Year fonts and colors, starting day of week, and enable/disable month and/or year scrolling among others. It also contains a WYSIWYG Property Page to allow customization of the control at design-time.

Colorbox2 takes advantage of Visual Basic 5.0's new support for API callbacks. This version uses a Win32 Timer API callback, instead of the Visual Basic Timer control used in ColorBox1, to animate the color box.
