I am using the VbAccellerator rebar and toolbar for some time now (see www.beursmonitor.com) And i was planning to convert it from ocx/dll to controls inside my program. since your program already did this i think i will just use your code. Another nice adition is the pager. You will get 5 globes from me.

Too bad I don't have VB to try it out. I did skim it though, nice job pulling all the code together. That is what Open Source is all about, improving others work and giving it back!

Hi, thanks for mentioning my name. Most people just take the code and repost it without giving credit. I like your implementation of my ButtonEx and all the other things you have done. I give you an excellent rating. Make sure to check out v1.2 of ButtonEx that I just uploaded.

The titlebar appears as usual in windows 2000. Also the textboxes and radio buttons are not white instead of yellow.
