CaptionX Capabilities
This component supports all types of VB windows - sizable, dialog or tool windows (the BorderStyle property in VB) and takes into account the visibility of the Minimize, Maximize and What's This buttons; it can be used in MDI parent and child windows; it even supports Windows XP styled borders of windows!
Each caption icon can have its own tooltip that displays tip text and optionally title and icon; you can also adjust such common tooltips parameters as style (balloon or standard rectangular), visible and delay time.
A window's caption text can be drawn by CaptionX or by the developer (this feature is also known as custom drawing); in the last case you can draw your own formatted text using different colors and fonts or even place pictures in window caption.
CaptionX was designed specially for Visual Basic 6 forms as an ActiveX control invisible at run-time. It is based on intercepting window nonclient area messages of VB forms package and can not be used with other types of forms which support ActiveX controls (.NET Windows Forms, UserForms in VBA in MS Word and Excel and so on).
Programming CaptionX
All you need to do to display your own icons with CaptionX is to link this control to an image list with the ImageList property and define caption icons using the Add method of the Icons collection.
Each caption icon raises the following events: Click (when the user clicks an icon), MouseEnter and MouseLeave (when the mouse pointer enters and leaves the area occupied by a caption icon). CaptionX also raises the CustomDrawTitle event you can use to draw your own title text and images when you set the CustomDrawing property to True.
CaptionX event and object model allows you to implement a lot of tasks. For instance, you can display your own tips for caption icons in window status bar or highlight them when the user moves the pointer over them using the MouseEnter event.
You can also change caption icon tooltips dynamically, set a window's caption text periodically by timer events and so forth.
