This software adds Office XP-style UI controls to MFC applications with flat, non-3D design and water-color effect. The controls do not have raised edges, do not appear pushed in when clicked and are not shadowed, except for menus.
CMenuXP is a powerful MFC class library that enables developers to easily add Office XP-style graphical user interface elements to their MFC applications. With CMenuXP, developers can incorporate the non-3D, "water-color" user interface controls that were first introduced in Office XP to provide an elegant, modern look and feel to their software.
This powerful library includes a range of classes, including CButtonXP for creating flat-edged buttons, CComboBoxXP for producing flat-edged comboboxes, and CToolBarXP for developers to quickly add other controls into the toolbar. CMenuXP allows icons to be located along the edge of menus and CStatusBarXP produces a flat-edged status bar.
One major benefit of CMenuXP is how easily it enables developers to incorporate these Office XP-style controls into their software projects. Rather than having to create each one from scratch, this class library streamlines the entire process.
However, there are some downsides to the library. Firstly, it is exclusive to the C++ programming language, which may limit accessibility for developers using other languages. Secondly, the library relies heavily on MFC, which some programmers may find difficult to work with.
Ultimately, for developers looking to create MFC applications that incorporate Office XP-style controls, CMenuXP is an invaluable library. It simplifies the development process, enabling developers to save time and resources in the creation of stunning user interface elements. That being said, those looking for a simpler and more secure library may want to investigate other options.
