I Thought The Control Was Very Simplistic To Use And Understand.
Whats Rough For Beginners?
There Is A Sample Included. All You have To Do Is Click On The Group1.vbg File.
Please Can You Explain Your
Comments in More Detail.
If I Don't Know What You Mean, I Cannot
Change Anything.
Kind Regards

Great Control, Works fine in Design Time but Crahes in Run Time, Any ideas on why or how I can fix it?

Just Incase You Didn't Get My Email.
The Sidebar VBCodelibrary Uses Is Actually Mine, Although Beit An Old Version. Goto The Properties Of The vbcl6ShortcutBar.ocx File in Your System Folder And Check The Credit He Gives Me.
Some Credit On The Actual App Would Have Been Nice!!

Great Job, Gary.
A small problem though - when switching to large icons the items in the lower pane are drawn one on top of the other (actually looks some-what indented). This does not happen with small icons.

Thanks For The Feedback.
I Know This Problem Exists, It Seems To Work On My Machine At Home(XP Home SP1) But Not At Work(XP Pro).
I'm Trying To Figure Out Why, As Soon As I Have Figured Out A Fix I Will Re-upload The Submission.
Kind Regards

Thanks Gary.
Another small issue: if you large fonts (like I do) the resider points are not drawn where you can see them (I think you offset the drawing by -19 px while for large fonts -15 is needed). Simply set your screen to large font for a minute and see what I'm talking about.
Other than that - this is a real EteDropper!
Please concider adding a CaptionFont and SelecedFont properties - that's the first thing I've looked for (you currently bold the selected item which has no effect if the control font is already bold; the caption font should be defined by the control user. I think that the 'More button' control needs a hoverColor as well to emphasize it a little bit more.

Gary - just to correct by typos: by 'resider' I meant the Resizer pictureBox.

5 stars from me, but there are some things different from outlook2003. I dont know if you did it on purpose or not, but in the original ctl the icon of the first tab(?) it is placed first on the bottom bar (i hope you understand my english) and not last as in you ctl. Also there are some bugs in the menu taken from VBAccelerator: the last item is not drawn correctly in win98 or in xp with classic interface. Maybe in the next release these could be corrected.
Anyway you've did a great job! 6 from me.

This is just outstanding! A beautiful interface! I just can't figure out how to use images & captions in the panel area, like Outlook's bar... or is this yet to be done? Nevertheless, gotta be 5 from me! Thanks for sharing this.

Hi,
this component is super :D I have only two questions (I hope they are not so silly) :D
how can I change the font in the head in code? And how can I add my own Icons?
Thanks :D

Hi,
I found out, how I can change the Header-Font. For all: You must do following:
EyeDropper1.Font.Name = "Arial"
EyeDropper1.Font.Bold = True
EyeDropper1.Font.Size = 10
But how can I add my own icons? Thanks :D

Hi Gary, this code is fantastic.
You can send me an example to use your ocx.
I have some problem to create a command inside each pannel.
Tank you
