dacris2000 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I am working on a (possibly commercial) custom component suite for .NET called NetXP. The controls all feature visual designer support. If you'd like to give it a try in your .NET application, download it from http://app.dacris.com/beta/netxp.exe Please post your feedback. Thanks. Here is a description of the things included in the suite: - Balloon tips - Rebars - Command bars (with icon menus and toolbars with chevrons) XP style - Folder browser dialog - High-res timer using performance counters - Graph (pie, line, and bar, integrated in one) - MultiPage (no-tab tab control for just organizing multiple pages like in a wizard) - A chart control for the system tray - A progress line (gradient line that moves in Win2000 progress windows) - An encapsulation of the .NET property grid control, visible at design time - Extended Checkbox, radio button, button, groupbox, label, panel, picturebox, and drag&drop tab controls - An extender provider for adding images to standard menu items - An extender provider for status bar messages for menu items - An XP style task pane / explorer bar (99% similar to standard Explorer task pane) - A few inheritable forms like Dialog, About box, and Wizard 2003 - A few quick methods to work with message boxes, exceptions, and notifications - A taskbar notifier like the MSN Messenger notification window - A function that loads an alpha-channel image into an image list - A MAPI wrapper - Finally, a Win32 API wrapper with lots of working DllImported functions All these have documentation in XML and the controls have icons.

0 Steven Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 WOW!! Those are cool controls Especially the TaskPane...::drools:: i love that thing. i have a version from some 'vallelunga' ( http://brian.vallelunga.com/ ) my only complaint is that when i enable AUTOSCROLL property in vb.net , the collapse / expand button gets covered is there anyway to get around this problem? also, when i visually hide a control on the pane, and then the user collapses the window, the control appears! these are annoying problems, with this guys version, do you have the same issues with yours? i'm looking for the BEST possible solution here. :( So in short.... is your version of taskpane any better than his? what makes your's any different, i'm really interested, because the taskpane is something i'm primaraly using for an interface i've been designinng... oh and btw, i just posted that you released XMark .NET Second Edition, in our BPN Forum :) can you tell me whats better or worse?

My task pane is very different from Brian Vallelunga's. It's made of three components: XPTaskPane, XPTaskPaneGroup, and XPLink; Brian's version has only the XPTaskPaneGroup part. My task pane adjusts its colors based on the current Windows XP theme. I think you'll find mine to be better, though Brian's is a bit more visually accurate (more faithful to the real XP UI). My version currently suffers from a visual bug in .NET 1.0, fixed only by installing .NET 1.1. I will fix that by final version.

- Extended Checkbox, radio button, button, groupbox, label, panel, picturebox, and drag&drop tab controls
