axExplorerBar is based on the 'Taskbar' navigation menu bar introduced in Windows XP. An ExplorerBar provides a visually attractive and versatile way to present a grouped list of options. Common usage scenarios would include providing access to multiple areas of an application or presenting multiple 'pages' of information. An ExplorerBar is a visually appealing, modern looking alternative to an 'Outlook Bar' or 'Tab Strip' control, particularly where there are several logical groups of options to display, as the ExplorerBar can show many groups at once whilst still making effective use of screen space. Features: - Windows XP Themes: Full support for Windows XP Visual Themes, rendering the look and feel of the ExplorerBar according to the active theme. Theme support can be disabled or overriden if required. - Background: The ExplorerBar background or any Group background can be Theme controlled, solid or gradient filled, or show the contents of a custom picture. Additionally the Transparacy of the picture can be set between 0-255, and the alignment of the picture control within a group. - Images: Images can be used in both group headers and group items. Group headers can have a custom header, to create a visual appealing ExplorerBar. Group items can also have images. - Group Formatting: The text color, background color and background fill style of groups and group headers can be specified. - Item Formatting: The color and formatting of items can be individually specified. - Custom Control Items: ExplorerBar groups can host your own controls, for the maximum in flexibility. - Full Keyboard Support: The ExplorerBar fully supports keyboard navigation, including navigation shortcuts - Custom headers: Create your own custom headers for each group. Any graphic can be loaded as a header in a group. - Sounds: ExplorerBar has built in support for playing sounds for the Item hover, Collapse and Expand events. Sounds can be disabled, or customize
