Do you know of a good Coolbar control?

[crpietschmann]

I am looking for a Coolbar control since, there is nont with VS.NET.

Does anyone know of one?

I have found some that use Windows API calls, but I'm looking for one that doesn't use API calls.

Those both use Windows API's. Is no one that good with .NET yet that they can't write a coolbar control, without using API calls?

I guess I'll just have to write my own.

huh , coolbar without APIs ? almost impossible . How would you make it flat . fill it with specific colors , set its position , ...etc

Now, I have my own XP style menus almost complete. Check out the screen shot below:



As you can see, I've added features, such as: Sub-Text in the Separator bar, and a Checked Image menuitem.

I am also going to create my own Button, Textbox, ComboBox, and ultimately Coolbar.

And this is not almost impossible without API's.
