A User Interface Control/Component by Xceed Software Inc

Included controls and objects

Every modern control for your Visual Basic 6 applications, including menubars, popup menus, toolbars, treeviews, Outlook bars, statusbars, property lists, property tool boxes, smart listboxes, optionlists, tabstrips, Coolbar integration, Win2k summary lists and Frontpage viewbars

Over a dozen sub-controls including buttons, checkboxes, dropdown combos, etc.

Create flexible custom horizontal or vertical scrollbars

Create menus that adapt to user's behavior like Win2K

Menus created with Xceed SmartUI are true Windows menus, not simulated

All tools work with the same properties, methods and events and use the same logical methodology making it a breeze to learn and re-use in all your projects

Real-time WYSIWYG. Add items to your treeviews, menus and other controls in design time. No more compile + run phases to see if object looks the way you want it to

Every control is flexible and the look and feel is fully customizable

Create your own controls

Design, create and customize your own controls right on your Visual Basic form without writing any code. Use either the designer's property pages or write code that uses the logically designed properties, methods and events

Create any control with a vertical or horizontal item orientation

Transform objects of one type of control to another without changing your already tested/existing code

ActiveX technology

Designed for Microsoft Visual Basic 6

The single fully self-contained ActiveX control requires no external DLLs other than the VB6 runtime you distribute with your applications. It does not require MFC, common control DLLs or anything else

100% Unicode support (including on Win98) and RightToLeft support

Supports Large Fonts

Provides extremely complete and organized property pages for visual programming

All controls are windowless for minimum use of resources and the ability to display many controls on your form without lag. Do more and put more on your forms with Xceed SmartUI

All constants, enumerations and types are built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help are fully supported

Object model

The object model's basic building blocks are the universal smart control that can appear in any shape or form, as well as the smart items that appear in the smart control

Every control provided with Xceed SmartUI is in reality a customization of the base smart control

The source code on how to build each included control is included in the lessons

Having one control ensures that there are far less bugs and makes Xceed SmartUI and your application much more stable than using separate components
