Titolo: I menu Verticali

Ciao a tutti.
Volevo chiedere come fare per creare uno di quei bei menu verticali con
Sottomenu e tante icone che richiamano altre maschere.
Per esempio Visual Interdev utilizza quello.
Con cosa posso crearlo ? Esiste già in VB ?
Grazie 1000.

This control was created as an exercise to duplicate the look and feel of
the Outlook Bar in Microsoft's Outlook '97.  The Outlook Bar is basically a
vertical menu.  We intend to use the control for a customer's EIS project to
allow customers to view/print various statistical/financial reports easily
both from a stand-alone EXE or over the company's Intranet using Active
Server Pages and ADO technology.
The various menus will be for report category and the items on the menu
itself will represent the actual report.  We have the control displayed at
our web site (
www.winresources.com
) and go to HotVB.  Enclosed is a sample
VB5 project containing the control.  Note that this must be run using VB5
because VB5CCE does not allow EXE's to be made and I can't send you an EXE
made from the Release Candidate 1 beta because of NDA.  The sample gives a
taste as to possible uses.  The first three menus have items that display
articles from VB's KnowledgeBase.  The fourth menu runs programs from the
Accessories program group (NT V4.0).  To install the VB5 sample project,
just unzip 'VertMenu.zip' into a directory, load the project and run it.  To
view the control in a browser, please go to our web site.  Note that our Web
page also shows a MaskedEdit control we have developed.  This control has
the usual types of masked fields.
The control uses 2 picture boxes, one for the surface of the control and one
as a cache for the icons.  Also, 2 image controls are used for the up and
down arrows.  The control paints itself and uses several API calls,
primarily BitBlt and DrawEdge functions.  By using a minimum of controls and
designing the control to paint itself, the size of the control is only 81K
(pcode) - not bad for an ActiveX control for the Internet.  Note that
clicking by on one of the menu bars, the menus "slide" just like the Outlook
Bar.  The control can be configured at design-time using Property Pages or
at run-time under code control. In using the control on an html page, the
control is configured using named parameters in the html object.  The
ActiveX Control Pad was not able to allow the icons to be assigned at design
time; embedding the icons in the html page greatly confused IE 3.0 and
produced GPF's.  Named parameters get around this problem and point to a URL
.
Custom Properties:
MenusMax
The number of menus.
MenuCur
The current menu being worked on (at design-time) or the current menu
displayed (at run-time).
MenuCaption
The caption of the current menu.
MenuItemsMax
The number of items on the current menu.
MenuItemCur
The current menu item being wroked on (at design-time or run-time).
MenuItemIcon
The path\filename of the icon for the current MenuItem.
MenuItemPictureURL
The URL of the icon.
MenuItemCaption
The caption of the current MenuItem.
MenuStartup
The menu number to display at startup.
Note that the icons can be assigned to a menu item either by pointing to the
icon using a path\icon.ico or using a URL for use in a browser.
Custom Event:
Sub MenuItemClick(Menu as Long, MenuItem as Long)
This event is fired when the user clicks on a MenuItem.  The Menu parameter
corresponds to the current menu displayed and the MenuItem corresponds to
the item clicked.
The structure of the control uses the following classes:
Menus
A collection of the menus.  This class also paints the control (except for
the menu items, which paint themselves) because it "knows" about the state
of the menu and because we want the painting to be done as fast as possible.
VMenu
The menus.
MenuItems
A collection of the MenuItems for each menu.
MenuItem
The menu items.
Arrow
The up/down arrows for each menu.
