- TabFrame, ToolTip, Toolbar and Statbar Demonstration
- ====================================================
-
- This archive contains a demonstration of four Visual Basic
- custom controls :-
-
- 1) TabFrame which provides tabbed dialogs.
- 2) ToolTip which provides MS style tooltips and several other
- context sensitive help features such as mouse, menu and
- focus tracking events.
- 3) Toolbar which provides dockable toolbars (just like Word V6,
- Excel V5, Access V2 etc).
- 4) Statbar which provides a flexible and easy to use status bar
- which can include up to twenty panes each of which may be
- configured to show text, a gauge, keyboard status or date/time
- information.
-
- These controls have been designed to work together in order to
- enable the implementation of a modern user interface with the minimum
- of effort. The features supported have been modelled on those included
- in many of the major applications and which are rapidly becoming standard
- parts of the Windows user interface.
