Updates: vbAccelerator ListBar Control

Update17 Feb 2003

  • Added Office XP highlighting style.
  • Fixed two bugs in the cListBar class: ForeColor and HelpText properties did not work correctly - thanks to Simon Horton.
  • Added a method to the cListBarItems class to remove all items from a bar, and fixed an intermittent problem with removing the last item from a bar (item still showed and caused a crash if you clicked on it - thanks to Daniel). this.
  • Prevented BarClick events from firing when the ListBar was resized - thanks to Billy Propes.

Update12 Feb 2003

  • Fixed GPF problem. Previously, if you showed the ListBar in any form except the first one to be shown, the application would GPF after shutdown, as a ToolTip reference was still held.

Update21 Mar 2000

  • Added a VB6 version of the control.
  • Please Note: the new version of the VB5 control has a different filename and ProgID so it is not a drop-in replacement for the previous binary. This needed to be done because of a bug in VB5 which prevented the new version from being compiled (you cannot rebuild an ActiveX control with binary compatibility which has an internal non-public child control and dependencies between the public and private control).
  • Large Icon view now centres icons correctly.
  • Fixed problem causing icons to appear on top of each other in Small Icon view when the bar was resized.
  • Cursors now display the correct way around: the hand appears over sheets and the pointer over items.
