Explorer style interface

[Guru2B]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create an explorer style interface (Outlook, Eudora etc) using VB? Must I code the entire thing manually? I have used VB 6's Application Wizard, but the button bar and the treeview and listview controls look very dated.

I'd like to build an application using what seems to me to be the Internet Explorer framework.

Thanks in advance,
Guru2B

Do you mean the feel of the roll bar in outlook? If so go to componentSource.com and search for the ActiveListBar.

Go to

http://www.infragistics.com

and download a demo copy of UltraSuite it's on sale for $495.00 and is the best thing since sliced bread. I'm new to VB but have created an outlook interface with virtually no programming. The tool you want is either the OutlookBar or the DataExplorer. Check them both to see which is best for your app.
Good Luck

You can do the same thing with the ActiveList Bar for under 100 dollars.
