vbAccelerator CommandBar Control

The vbAccelerator CommandBar control is a full toolbar/menu control which currently offers configurable styles, colours and a full-object model for configuring the buttons and menus. The control can draw in Office 2003, Office XP, MS Money and System styles, supports icons with alpha-channels and runs on any Windows system. The control is currently a pre-release version, and although it can be used now, some important features have not yet been implemented, particularly MDI support, docking container and toolbar borders.
