Outlook2003Bar New Version 1.0.0

In the last days, I worked on a new version of the Outlook2003Bar control, making some adjusts and adding new features.

The look has minor changes...

New features:

1) Now you don't need to add the buttons manually! The only thing you need to do is add the pages in the Panes pageframe control inside Outlook2003Bar and set: Caption, Picture16 and Picture24 page's properties and the control will automatically create the buttons at runtime.

2) Added predefined color schemes that follows Blue, Silver and Olive Windows XP Themes. If you change the active Windows XP theme, the control color scheme is changed too! Also, you can manually change the control's colors.

3) Outlook2003Bar help file is avaiable in Vcx directory.

Note that the size of the image used in PanelButtons changed from 32x32 to 24x24!

After download Outlook2003Bar attached, open Sample.pjx, compile them and run Sample.exe.

Please, feel free to make comments, send suggestions or request bug fixes.

VFP rocks!

Hi Emerson,
I just downloaded the control and it works really nicely. Great Job well done!
Many Thanks for sharing with us.

Suggestion: It would really nice to have some 'hook' methods (i.e when the user clicks on panel button) instead of 'hardcoding' or writing dodefault.
Thank you again I am going to use it very soon.

Hi Agustín!
Firstly, download the new 1.0.1 version at http://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=VFPX&ReleaseId=815 and take a look at the help in vcx folder.
This version is much more easy to use than 1.0.0 version.
If you have another questions, please contact me again.

Hello. Your class is great , but it DOESN'T work if the parent window is maximized (.windowstate =2). It took me one night to discover the problem. There is no workaround in the Class, AFAICS. There is a recursive infinite call to setpanelheight method, and it happens even if I put the window in normal, instance the control and then maximize the window again. The only way I have been able to put the class in my forms is to simulate a maximized window in the init of my form class.

Peter, _Menu.vcx is in VFP FFC classes in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Ffc folder.

does it work in VFP 5.0???....

Hi Krlos!
Currently, doesn't work because I'm using some features that is only available in VFP 9.
With some changes, could work, but I don't have plans to do this.
If you want, you can modify the code.
Basically, you need to handle the Resize of controls instead of Anchor them and use direct GDI+ calls instead of VFP GDI+ FFC classes.

What do you think?
