Coolbar and related

What happened to the "Coolbar" feature in .net?? Or is it under another name??

Also how do you add a combo box to a toolbar??

Much appreciated!

Sadly the Coolbar is no more in .NEt maybe there will be a 3rd party version. The only way I know of to add a combobox to a toolbar is to add both of them to a panel and then put that in the place of the toolbar.

I found this just now while searching for something else:

Yes, that toolbar is awesome. But it does use Windows API calls. The use of Windows API calls, makes it Windows specific.

The idea behind .NET is OS Independence. I know that Microsoft doesn't support any other OS's at this time. But eventually they will, and you will want your applications to run on any OS that supports the .NET Framework.

There are some Open Source .NET Implementations being developed outside of Microsoft, for OS's such as Mac OS, and Linux.
