- CLACKER.VBX - Menu Help Text Custom Control Version 3.0
-
- =============================================================================
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- 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.
