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].
