- CLACKER.VBX - Menu Help Text Custom Control
- =============================================================================
-
- CLACKER makes it easy for you to provide your users with dynamic menu help
- using a menu status bar. Add that touch of class and polish to your
- application. Add this valuable feature to VB applications with CLACKER.
-
- Since VB provides no means to intercept the menu selection before the click
- occurs, CLACKER to the rescue. Clacker provides event notification to the VB
- application prior to the real menu selection being made. CLACKER provides
- you with the means to notify the user of the menu action to be taken by the
- highlighted menu text, without having to perform the actual menu action.
- Using this feature you provide the user with dynamic menu help in a status
- bar, a "try before you buy" menu aid to the user. Helps cut down help desk
- traffic by allowing the user to dynamically search all the menu choices for
- the action desired. Now even if they don't read the manual, you can provide
- an on-screen help.
-
- CLACKER.VBX is also available as part of a package of 5 controls for $35.
-
- The 5PAK20.ZIP contains:
- BALLOON.VBX provides balloon help popup windows for all form controls.
- SHADBX.VBX provides a popup shadowed text message, like windows help does.
- CLACKER.VBX provides the hooks for dynamic menu help using a status bar.
- NUMWIN.VBX enumerates and returns hWnds for all desktop windows and controls.
- SNDDEX.VBX Soundex and enhanced Soundex word matching and searching.
- Help files included.
-
- A great value for the money. See file 5PAK20.ZIP in CIS MSBASIC lib 5.
- Register 5PAK20 in Compuserve's SWREG forum, ID #1220.
-
- CLACKER is also used in TreeDB, a commercial product available from Weimar
- Software. TreeDB is an E-Mail text database for storing notes, text and
- E-Mail to organize all of the text, E-Mail addresses and notes you
- normally collect up from on-line services.
