RE: A couple control questions for the braintrust

[docHoliday]

I am embarking on a rather ambitious VB app project, and beforehand am trying to get an idea what ActiveX control exist out there. I've come across a variety which will make creating the app much easier and cost concious, but there are three specific controls I am looking that I have yet to come across. In order of their importance:

- A tree-view control that can navigate to an FTP or local web site and display the site contents. I don't think the control will have to log into the server as the app will have a built in FTP control which could make the connection. The contents of the tree-view will be read only but clickable to navigate and make external changes.

- A toolbar that allows for the flat Office style AND displays a drop down menu list when certain items are clicked.

- An HTML textbox control that color codes HTML text. Should alllow for color customization.

If you've seen controls like these, free or otherwise, please drop a URL for me.

If not, and anyone would be interested in helping me develope these type of controls, or work on the program itself, I would very much welcome any help you could offer. I have little real world VB experience above a text editor I wrote and this project requires some heavy programming.

If you interested in getting further details of the project in the interest of developing control or functions, e-mail me at [email protected].

For your treeview the one that ships with VB should be sufficient. If you need and awesome toolbar try ActiveBar2 by Data Dynamics, I believe they're address is www.datadynamics.com. ActiveBar2 also ships with an html application example that has an html window ActiveX included.

Good Luck!

I don't know any specific examples but if you go to www.componentsource.com and do a search you should be able to find various examples of each. You can download trial versions for most of them.

I guess with the tree view it's more of a lack of experience with the control. If the standard tree view control will work, is there any documentation out there for integrating it with an FTP and progress bar control to populate and mainpulate it? The documentation that comes with VB is pretty awful for this.

I'm sure it's easy, I guess I'm looking more for solid guidance.
