Office2003Bar™ is an ActiveX control that provides a Microsoft Outlook 2003 style navigation side bar for your applications. With Office2003Bar™, you can present categorized information and application shortcuts to your users in a stylish and intuitive manner.

A Office2003Bar™ is divided into three visual areas. There is a selection of bars that the user can choose from to select a category or function. Each bar has a corresponding panel, which can contain any other control, such as a listview or a treeview. If there isn't enough room to display all the bars at once, the extra bars will be placed on the toolbar at the bottom. This space-saving design allows you to present large amounts of information in a very compact space.

A Office2003Bar™ can automatically detect the user's color scheme and display the appropriate themed appearance, or you can specify custom colors and background pictures. Supports 32-bit alpha channel icons on all Windows platforms, allowing you to display anti-aliased icons with shadows.As an added bonus, we are also including the OutlookContainer control. This is an Office 2003 Style frame control that mimics that mini-container in Outlook 2003. You can use this control to provide sub-headings within ShortcutBar for different sets of information
