UPDATE(2002-12-26): Version 1.3.2 Fixes incorrect painting and adds absolute positioning for tiled bitmaps.
__________________________________________________
UPDATE(2002-11-12): Version 1.3.1 Fixes gradient fills under legacy OSes (NT 4.0 and Win 95).
__________________________________________________
UPDATE(2002-11-05): Version 1.3 Label edit fully implemented! Brand new subclasser working ok in MS Office and VS.NET so this one should fix the problems. Out-of-focus mouse wheel support (Outlook style). OLE Drag&Drop of groups implemented. cButton.Key property synced with parent collection. New properties: LabelEdit, AllowGroupDrag, GroupHilightIdx. Additional background style: ucsGrdTileBitmap. Bugfixes (including cMemDC). Help file updated.
__________________________________________________
UPDATE(2002-08-09): Version 1.2 Automatic OLE Drag&Drop fully implemented!!! New properties: UseSystemFont, FlatScrollArrows, WrapText. Additional background styles: ucsGrdAlphaBlend, ucsGrdStretchBitmap. Bugfixes and new samples. Help file updated.
__________________________________________________
UPDATE(2002-07-24): Version 1.1 Help file included. Additional background options. cMemDC bugfixes. VB bugfixes: now icons can also be 256 colors and truecolor.
__________________________________________________
This is a fairly complete emulation of outlook bar. This control is fully customizable and can emulate both outlook xp and 2000 button bar (see "more samples") and then goes beyond. Control customization is accessible through couple of property pages. Featured is a hierarchical model (much like CSS) for defining formats of control elements (including hover/pressed/selected formats on group/items) which can be persisted (an .obf file) and a polymorphic object model for representation of group and item buttons data. Multi-line captions, multi-line tooltips (API), large&small icon styles, single/double/fixed bordes, horizontal/vertical gradients. Help is to be done (generated:-)) shortly. OLEDrag&Drop is in its infancy but still workable. Also, here you have it: the *realtime* color picker re-submitted as part of the outlook bar property pages -- check it out it's fast! Also, check out the error handler (robust one) and the DebugMode object leak info system. Has been checked on win2k for GDI leaks (win9x to be done, anyone?). This is in response to recent submissions of "commercial quality" and "industrial strength" software to this site. Although not complete the project could easily become commercial one. Greetings go to: Ariad Software (now www.cyotek.com), vbAccelerator.com (great inspiration), and Carles P.V. (for his controls submissions:-)). Read readme.txt for the build procedure. Please report bugs and problems and leave your votes!

Quite good indeed.
yet, I strongly suggest that you do NOT use windows common controls.
U only use it for treeview & tab pages.
I am sure that you will find lite controls with source codes to replace that extreme large control!

Stunning!!
I have been using vbAccelerator's Outlook Bar Control for quit a while. As usual, every control from vbAccelerator requires a lot of reading and hard work to make them work. In the other hand, they are very powerful and small.
Now, with Vlad's control, I will get the power of vbAccelerator controls with an unparallel easy of use implementation!
Thanks a bunch, Vlad!
You definitely got 5 planets from me!!

For those who are asking to see the IDL, Goto the Tools menu (installed when you installed Visual Studio) and run "OLE View". Next goto file menu and click "View TypeLib". Choose the .TLB file and there you have it...

its very nice
^_^ thx a lot
i'm new in here

and why i cant use mu own bitmap ?

anyone can help me?
anyway thx VLAD!!

7/15/2002 3:51:38 PM: Vlad Vissoultchev
wow, 10x for the votes!!! especially pleased that most of the knowledgeable people on PSC are appreciating my submission. 10x again!
michael doering: there is nothing "hidden" here! these .tlb's are actually produced by VB!!! i've included them only to be used as target for "project compatibility" so the users (you) do not have problems opening sample projects (lost references). you do not need them and can be completely ignored -- you need only the code :-)
alwin: good point! to be done...
andreas: to view the .res files you need to load the VB6 Resource Editor from tools->add-in manager and then just double click it. as for the images, well, use the control's property pages to load them at design time or use hidden image controls and set them at run-time.

p.s. san remo (italy) has only a single inet point that charges 6 euro/hour which totally sucks!

Hello Vlad,
thanks for your answer.

7/22/2002 2:31:25 PM: gonchuki_r
so... do you think this is "Industrial Quality". I think not... there's a BIG error in the program... note i said BIG: the color used for the background in the XP outlook bar is not always blue, as you did. The border color is correctly set to the highlight color returned by GetSysColor API... but you still use the blue for the back color... you must correct this if you want to call it "Industrial Strenght"
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
7/22/2002 2:52:02 PM: Vlad Vissoultchev
gonchuki_r: this has nothing to do with "Industrial Strenght", btw. as i understand it this is the quality of the code itself, the error handling for example.
anyway, you might be right. but this is a flaw of the smaple project, not of the control. the control itself is (almost) enough flexible to allow you get whatever look you need. so in your case you just have to OleTranslateColor highlight, then do some color math (blend with certain % alpha upon white color for instance) and set appropriate properties of control formats.
much more constructive would be a proposal on your side that you want background fill that is a result of color blending of two (more?) OLE_COLORS.
HTH,
</wqw>
p.s. version 1.1 comming real soon (doing final touches on the .chm)
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
7/24/2002 9:37:42 PM: Vlad Vissoultchev
gonchuki_r: check out the new version 1.1: A new background fill type is added that allows to specify a percentage offset in the hue, saturation and brightness of a color (including highlight). the Outlook XP sample is updated with correct percentages and now works correctly with different RGB values for system highlight color. tell me if this is "industrial strength" enough for you. hope you will correct your vote in the right direction :-)

It has slight difference with Microsoft Access2000 bar control.Could you make it exactly same with that?When Mouse is on the button which is active(Pressed),the button should not floated any more(Should kept 'Pressed' State).

Great code! Probably the most advance I see up to now in PSC.
I am going to use it in a touch screen machine, is there anyway to set the button on the left hand side taller?
Anyway, it is great and save a lot of work. Nice to see any other controls that you have made.

9/2/2002 5:08:46 AM:
One Q: It is too sensitive. If I click on area around the down arrow, it will fire the buttonclick event. Is there anyway make it less sensitive..... that is .. only clicking on the icon or text will work.
Any hint on how to change??

Unruled Boy, of course you can but it's not that straigth forward. Use Formats PropPage, select Control Format and in BackGradient select Type: 7 - Stretched and then press ellipses to browse for the bitmap.

i love it. simply amazing. only one thing: it works great in vb6, but in vb.net, it crashes upon the application loads. i mean, vb.net can perfectly run activex's and stuff like that and your control works in design mode (the property pages don't work though). but when the program starts, it gives me an object reference error and stops. my application has to be done in vb.net and i'm wondering what advice you have in order for me to use your GREAT control. please reply by emailing me at: speedy5asdf@hotmail.com thanks in advance, speedy
ps: i would vote 5 but you already won! :-D

pitty again:
you should better not compile the control and refer to it. because psc removed all the controls in the zip files.
I think that refer to the control project is a better way.

WOW
This is beyond 5 stars IMHO.
Well structured, commented, and full-featured. VERY IMPRESSIVE!
I have 3 constructive criticisms - but note that this did not make me give you less than 5 stars!!!
Your email in the help file (and on this site) doesn't work. This site's feedback seems to be the only way to contact you!
2nd - the sample projects should really include more code for configuring the control, it appears you're using pre-defined formats. Most programmers will likely do the configuring in code.
I myself am having difficulty getting large icons to display, but I'm not sure why because I'm doing what the samples do.
3rd - I see you have background bitmaps (GREAT!) but why only stretched and not tiled?! If you want help implementing tiled, let me know - I'd love to help and support you in any way I can! (of course, I'd have to have a working email for that!)

10/12/2002 5:58:38 PM: Anthony Neilsen
its a pity you didn't make to color pickler a stand-alone ocx - none the less, quite a massive project - TOO MASSIVE, really, since there are only two main controls - all the property pages and the subdirectories make it very hard to implement and understand - - next time, maybe you could KISS
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
10/18/2002 9:57:46 AM:
Anthony - This is EXACTLY why PSC has the "Level" system. Vlad's code is clearly not for beginners, which is why it's CLEARLY marked "Intermediate". If you want "simple" then stick to the code labeled "Beginner", but don't go knocking/criticizing the guys who produce more advanced apps just because you don't understand their code.
PS: There are plenty of less-functional Outlookbars out there if you want "simple". Just don't expect you'll find the same level of expertise that Vlad demonstrates here. In fact, most are severely limited and some just don't work right.

5 from me. Great Code, it works great in VB, but i added it to an Access 2002 form (I hate Access BTW) it works fine in design mode, but if i try to view it in run-time mode access crashes. I get an application error that reads:
The insruction at "0xffff01bb" referenced at "0xffff01bb". The memory could not be "read".
I tried this on a couple machines. Any ideas or am I outta luck on this one?

|
11/13/2002 5:21:58 PM: Vlad Vissoultchev
you can put line numbers in UserControl_ReadProperties and recompile the control (remember to recompile the proppages too). this way the error handling will report the line the error occurred which will be more helpful as to detect what's causing the troubles (probably buzarre icon formats?)

Hi Vlad!. i gave you 5 globes!. but i think i've found a bug.
if you have a disabled form in the background, the main form, and another form called from the main (which holds your control) in modal state.
The main form hides and the app goes down.
This just happens in the compiled version, in the ide not.
I have winxp and winme, i think it only happens in winme/98.
Here are the instructions to reproduce it.
1. Add 3 forms to a project.
2. form 1 plave a command button
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form2.Show 1
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Form3.Show
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Unload Form3
End Sub
3.form 2 place an outlook bar control
4.form 3. just set its enabled property to false.
in winme the app crash when you close form2

Great job on the code. I sent you a email through PSC and I hope you get it.
I found the Help file, so I don't need that, but if you could answer my other questions, I would really appreciate it.
Again, nice job and thank you!!

Hi Vlad
I have been using your control and noticed that when you resize the control to fit a form with the DPI setting on your computer changed to say 110% then it will not resize correctly. Any Ideas on this? Other than that it's awesome.

Well done. An excellent piece of source-code. It's just what I've been looking for. Just an idea, as a further enhancement you may want to make it navigable via the keyboard. I am looking at doing this. Keep up the good work.

Is there anyway to save the layout of the grid after say a user has moved the icons to a new position and then reload afterwards
Thanks James

It is great! Very professional.
I wish there were more such free professional controls. For example at the moment I am very tired of searching for a great command button that enables me to put a picture to the left side of the caption (and this button control should have some other good features too).
But this is really great!!! Thank you very much!

I've sent this to Vlad, but he is not responding, maybe one of you can help me with this...
Sometimes when you double click on a 'blank/unused' area of the control, like when the control height is quite extended and there are only a couple of buttons, windows 2000 freezes completely, only physically resetting the computer will do (tested in more than one machine), although I couldn’t track a pattern. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't. This also only happens when running the project compiled. The control is running standalone as an ocx, so, in theory, no interfering with subclassing or any other execution of the main project should disturb the run of your component. (continues next post)...

The other thing is, let’s imagine the following line: ‘mdiMAIN.OBar.Groups(1).GroupItems(1).Selected = False’, this will work if it is another item than the first. Is looks like that once a button is pressed, there must always be one selected. Is there by any mean possible to disable this behaviour? I was testing this to be a sort of a navigation bar, so that the buttons act as ‘buttons’ to open MDI child windows and when the user closes that window it should then de-select that button but at least the first button of the group always stays selected even when programmatically is set to ‘.Selected = False’. So the really query is, is it possible to de-select all buttons?
Much appreciated.

Vlad, thank you for your e-mail. I changed the cButton.Selected Let property to read: "Set oCtl.SelectedItem = Nothing" when bValue is set to False and commented all lines in that block. And so far, it works great.
Regarding DblClick event, it is empty, I do not use it. I can't figure why this happens. The DblClick event in your control is quite clean, but I commented the following lines out
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

7/26/2003 10:28:52 AM: C. Sibon
'If Not m_oOver Is Nothing Then
'RaiseEvent ButtonDblClick(m_oOver)
'End If
'mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0
Maybe the loop has to with the ButtonDblClick(m_oOver) call. Until now this seams to have fixed the problem, but all the calls commented out where lost.
Once again, thank you very much for your support.

Awesum control Vlad, thanks for your contribution to the VB community. Is there a way to get on a mailing list for future updates, I would love to stay in the loop as you progress with this control? One suggestion for a future update...offer an up-down option for moving buttons and groups in the property pages. I created my layout and decided to add a group in the middle, but am not sure how to get it there. Incredible work on this submission, keep it up, it is sincerely appreciated!

Vlad, great control, even greater(a bit :) ) now that i have extended it to have a new feature -- Orientation, default is UscPortrait, selectable to UcsLandscape that makes the control rendered horizontally, capable of panning left or right(instead of the default up/down)...any takers?
All credits goes to Vlad, the man...

I've opened the project of .ocx, corrected the typelib path, made th .ocx, registered this ocx, included in my project and clicked in Custom. I've made any mistake? Tahks

I don't know if this code page is still actively viewed and supported by Vlad, but just wish to submit that this control failed to work on 64bit Windows. I don't know what's an issue, but it doesn't work on 64bit OS. Can someone please suggest me a way to make it work on 64bit Windows OS?
