    [Control Source] New Hiscores Control for VB 2008

    I got this interesting idea for a hiscores control I call Skill Inference ( explained ahead ), but my old code wasn't very compatible, so I had to rewrite it, and I also felt like sharing.

    Here are some features:
    • Automatic skill comparer
      No extra code is required to do this. It does it by itself, just have more than 1 control, and it will work. The darker the skill box, the lower the rank. It is also in the tooltip under "Local Rank".
    • Skill inference
      Skill inference makes it find out the stats for a missing skill, it will only work if 1 skill is missing. It works by subtracting the sum of all listed skills from the overall exp and level. This can help make the Combat Level displayed more accurate, since not many people may have Summoning over 30, but high enough to affect their combat level. This will not work with minigames.
    • Optional search bar
      You can make your own toolbar if you wish ( just use the controls Lookup method ), if you turn it off, it will just show the name and combat level at top instead.
    • Experience to next level
      Tells how much experience the player has to go for their next level. It will not show if the skill is at 99, and for Overall, it just shows how much more exp for the closest level.
    • Works with Minigames
      It will work with any of the 3 minigames released so far.
    • Easy to update
      If a new skill comes out, to update it, just add the skill to the Skills enum and add the image ( and if it is a minigame, just add the <Minigame()> tag to it ).
    For WPF applications, right click the toolbox, and goto "Choose Items...". When it loads, goto the "WPF Components" Tab and when it loads again, browse for the Dll, and press OK.

    For Windows Forms applications, just drag the dll to the toolbox.

    Here is a snapshot.

    Whoa! This is really good, only displays tounament ranks if they are ranked and if you change the size of the window you can still see everything (looks the same on XP).

    10/10!

    Good job!

    Wow this looks really cool! Especially the little popups that come over the skill levels.
