  Detailed Product Description

  Implement Office 2000-style Toolbars and Menus

  ActiveToolBars Plus is the sequel to Sheridan's acclaimed ActiveToolBars. This new version adds support for Office 2000-style toolbars and menus and also includes a flexible new tab control, ActiveTabs.

  The Right Tool for the Job

  I don't know about your clients, but mine expect the best applications I can deliver—and fast! Not only do they want the best-working applications, but the best-looking ones too, with interfaces they immediately recognize and feel comfortable with. If you want to construct apps that look and feel like Office 2000, ActiveToolBars Plus is the right tool for the job.

  Power Tools

  From behemoth productivity suites to tiny utilities, almost every application incorporates some sort of toolbar. There's a lot of ways to add one to your app, but why work with a hammer when you can use a nail gun? Nine different tool types deliver the power and versatility you need and Sheridan provides an assortment of stock toolbars and tools to get you started.

  A Full Toolbox

  If you need a tool that's not included, the powerful WYSIWYG designer makes creating it a snap–I only had to provide the "up" picture and it automatically rendered images for other button states. A few drag-and-drops later, I quickly had an Office 2000-style interface, complete with personalized menus, flyout tools, and end-user customization at run-time...all without a single line of code!

  Absolutely Tabulous

  Included is an entirely new control, ActiveTabs. Take it from a developer who's seen a lot of tab controls, with transparent regions, this one's sleek and modern, and offers a seemingly unlimited number of tab orientations, alignments, and positions. It can even double as a "wizard dialog" control.
  • ActiveToolBars Plus duplicates the look and feel of Office 2000 toolbars and menus.
  • End-user customization doesn't require any additional work by the developer.
  • Floating and docked toolbars and menus with a flexible array of tool types.
  • Brand-new ActiveTabs control creates the perfect tabbed or wizard dialogs.
