    Resolved [Resolved]What control?

    Ok guys, another question. If VB has this control, what is it? I have a pic of what it looks like. But I dont know what its called.

    It slides the box to the side and changes the arrows to point the other way to wait for the user to click it to restore the box.

    Thanks to anyone whom can answer this.

    This could definitely be a third party control. Looks like an auto-hide shortcut bar.
    live, code and die...

    Looks like its a screenshot from Windows Media Player?

    I think .NET has a splitter control that is similar, I think, but you
    would need to create your own image for it.

    Its from FastHelp. Its a CHM file maker since I cant find any other tools to make them with that work like that one. But yea, its from that. And its what I want to try to find. I dont know how to make my own controlls. So.. thats a problem with that. I got a general idea of it though from editing other ones.

    Any other idea's on ones that might have already been made? Or a place that might have an example?

    Also Rob, Im using VB 6 still since I only use .Net for Console apps. I dont like it that much. Thanks again guys.

    Couldn't you just create a graphical button with a similar image
    and have code to size the frame width? May not have to make it
    a ocx?

    Ok instead of making a control for it I just used 2 pictures. And made them like command buttons. It moves the frames left and top positions when you click them so it hides the frame only showing a button to show it again. Works just how I wanted it to. Thanks again.
