Toolbar Thingy!!! 1

[dynamodc]

Does anyone know how I get a toolbar in my VB program that looks similar to the one used in Access 2000 (i.e. the one that has tables, queries, forms, etc in the heading)? I have seen a similar toolbar in another VB app. Obviously I don't want my toolbar to have the same heading as the Access 2000 one, I want to add my own headings.

Thanks in advance to anyone clever enough to know the answer.

Have a nice day!!

Add Project/Components Microsoft Windows Common Controls.

The toolbar control is in there. Add one to your project, then right click to get the properties page. It's all pretty straightforward from there

Let me know if this helps

Thanks a lot for replying John but I didn't just want a standard toolbar, I wanted one that looks like the one in the main view of Access 2000. It is usually situated on the left hand side. There is a similiar in VB6 IDE which has a grey command like button with General on it and then you can click it to expand it to see your controls, etc.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

No such control is included with VB, sadly. There are plenty available on the Internet though. I quite the look of the one included in this free set of controls:
