10051 Data Controls
10052 Data-aware controls provide a way to create the data access portion of a Visual Basic application without writing code. Data-aware controls can be used in conjunction with the programmatic data access
10053 object layer to smoothly integrate the productivity of data-aware controls with the versatility and control of the programmatic layer.\n
10054 \nThe Professional Edition offers many data-aware controls including:\n\n
10055 DB Grid\n DB Listbox\n 3D Panel\n 3D Check Box\n Masked Edit Control.\n

20102 The Databound Grid control is a powerful addition to any Visual Basic application. Without any programming you will be able to present a tablular
20103 representation of data from a wide range of databases. \n\nWith a few lines of code you can make the grid dynamically change its data source. \n
20104 \nBecause the Databound Grid control uses ODBC and the Jet DBMS Engine, you are able to access the following data sources:\n\n
20105 Microsoft Access\n Microsoft FoxPro (Windows and DOS)\n Borland Paradox (Windows and DOS)\n Novell BTrieve\n
20106 Microsoft SQL Server\n Sybase SQL Server\n Oracle\n

20501 Animated Buttons
20502 Animated Buttons can add life to an application and can help you present information independent of language. \n
20503 \nFor example, the voltage selection control in the demonstration present a visual representation of a physical device which many people have seen and work with.\n
20504 \nThe filing cabinet control shows not only a recognizable metaphor, it also accurately and susynticlly represents the state of the applications.
20505
20506 Alternate Text:\n
20507 The Animated Button Control is a flexible button control that allows you to use any icon, bitmap, or metafile to define your own button controls.
20508 Control types include animated buttons, multistate buttons, and animated check boxes.\n
20509 \nEach animated button can contain zero or more images and an optional text caption. An animated tuoon can be though of as a series of frames that are displayed in sequence. The frames can be
20510 sequenced with each activation, or all at the same time with a single activation, similar to a movie which displays sequential frames.
20511
20601 Gauge
20602 The Gauge controls allow you to build a visual representation of a value.
20603 \n\nYou are able to use your own bitmaps and can have a linear control either horizaontally or vertically. You are also able to have
20604 a circular control either in a full circle or a sem-circle.

20701 Picture Clip
20702 The Picture clip provides an efficient mechanism for storing multiple picture resources. Instead of using multiple bitmaps or icons, create a source bitmap that contains all the icon images
20703 required by your application. When you need to access an individual icon, the Picture Clip Control can select the region in the source bitmap that contains the icon to be displayed.\n
20704 \nFor example, you could use this control to store all the images needed to display a toolbar for your application. It is much more efficient to store all of the toolbar images in a
20705 single bitmap and have the Picture Clip Control display them than it is to store each image in a separate picture box.
20706 \n\nPress the 'See Full Bitmap' button in the demonstration to see the source bitmap used in the demonstration.

20802 You can use the spin button control to increment or decrement numbers that are displayed in a text box or other conrol. At run time, when the user click the up (or right) arrow of the spin button,
20803 SpinUp events are generated repeatedly until the user releases the mouse. Likewise, when the user clicks the down (or left) arrow, SpinDown events are generated until the user releases the mouse.\n
20804
20805 \nThe Delay property determines how often the SpinUp and SpinDown events are generated.

20901 3D Frame
20902 \n\nThe 3D Frame Control emulates the standard Visual Basic frame control, which provides a graphical or functional grouping of controls. The 3D Frame Control also allows the use of three-dimensional
20903 text (right, left or centered in the frame), and the frame itself can appear raised or inset.

21203 \n\nIn addition, this control can display a three-dimensional caption as well as a bitmap or an icon. A variable bevel width allows the button
21204 to appear raised off the screen.

21402 You can use the 3D Panel Control to display plain or three-dimensional text on a three-dimensional backgroud, to group other controls on a three-dimensional background as an alternative to the frame
21403 control, or to lend a three-dimensional appearance to standard controls such as list boxes, combo boxes and scroll bars.\n
21404 \nThe 3D Panel is a three-dimensional rectangular area of vairable size that can be as large as the form or just large enough to display a single line of text.
21405 \n\nIt can present status information in a dynamically colored circle or bar with or without showing the percentage of fill.\n
21406 s015\nExperiement with the demonstration to see how changes in the Inner and Outer Bevel can make dramatic changes in the appearance of this control.
