This website is owned by Jos Huybrighs and exists in order to share software development experience and promote the exchange of free software components and services.

What can you find here?

The website is setup with the purpose to publish technical information in the area of software engineering and to dedicate software I have written to the public domain. Most of the material that you find here has been developed at some point in time for a specific software development project and is actually in use on one or more live websites or has been integrated in one or more apps/programs running on client devices.

Depending on the component the actual source code is either published on GitHub or on CodePlex.

Software components

  • mjpeg.decoder.winrt - Source code for a MJPEG Decoder running on Windows RT (8.1 Universal Apps)

    For anyone interested in integrating a MJPEG stream decoder on a Windows 8.1 Universal App (i.e. targetting both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 'store' apps) I have published a project on CodePlex (see here) that will help you with developing this.
    The project is a rework of another MJPEG Decoder project on Codeplex (see here), but which lacks support for Windows Runtime 8.1 apps.

  • service.ddmenu.jquery - Single Level Dropdown Menu

    service.ddmenu.jquery is an extremely lightweight (less than 800 bytes minified) jquery component that makes it easy to create individual, single-level dropdown menus on a web page. The dropdown menu itself must be fully designed in HTML (as per an imposed container layout). The plugin does't insert nor replaces elements in the DOM.

  • service.ddlist.jquery - Dropdown Select List

    A fully styleable dropdown select list supporting text and images. The list is expected to be defined using a standard <select> element, which will be hidden by the plugin. The list is then 'reconstructed' by means of a jquery-generated <div> container.

    Although the <select> will be hidden full support is provided to submit the correct "selected" option to the server when the list is part of a form.

  • service.flatcheckbox.jquery - Styleable Checkbox

    service.flatcheckbox.jquery is a small jQuery plugin that serves 2 purposes:

    • It styles a checkbox any way you want by hiding the '<input type="checbox" />` element and  replacing it with a styled div. The css file that comes with the component creates a flat checkbox (comparable with how you see checkboxes on Windows 8.x apps).
    • It binds your event handler to the element.

  • service.ontouchclick.jquery - Touch/Click Listener

    'ontouchclick' is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy for a developer to hookup a touch/click event handler to a DOM element. It is derived from existing plugins (some with a similar name) that are published on GitHub but which are missing some key features to make them reliable.

    The plugin binds to the 'touchstart', 'touchmove', 'touchend', and 'click' events for a given DOM element and ensures that the callback event is correctly fired (and also doesn't fire twice).

    'onTouchClick' can't be used for swiping or moving elements (touchmove events, etc.).

  • service.itemslist.jquery - ListViewer Component

    A jquery plugin implementing a light-weight list viewer with the option to do pagination. Both full and partial (paginated) list entries are obtained server-side using AJAX. The server is assumed to return fully formatted html which the component inserts in the DOM. The component itself is not involved in the rendering and presentation of the list items.

  • service.paginator.jquery - Pagination / Paginator Component

    A jquery plugin for a paginator component. In contrast with other list pagination solutions it
    only deals with the UI aspects of the paginator itself (the next, previous and page control elements). The rendering of the list items must be done using other components (like 'service.itemslist.jquery').
