ExplorerBarXP is an ActiveX control that replicates the ExplorerBar control in Windows XP, allowing for organized display of multiple commands and information in logical sections.
What sets this control apart from others on the market is its vast customizability. With full control over colors, fonts, background pictures, and more, you can tailor the ExplorerBarXP to fit exactly what you need. Version 2.0 of ExplorerBarXP has been completely rewritten to be the most customizable and capable explorer bar component available. Upon downloading the demo, you'll notice the vast array of options available to you.
ExplorerBarXP can also be configured to use Visual Styles, including third-party styles, within Windows XP. As such, this control is compatible with emulated Visual Styles, as well as 'Classic' styles, under all versions of Windows, including older systems such as Windows 98 and NT 4.0. This control also offers full support for Unicode, allowing for the use of international characters, such as Japanese, Russian, Arabic, and more, in your programs.
Some of ExplorerBarXP's most notable features include an XP style interface, support for third-party Visual Styles, and 32-bit icons and PNG images on all versions of Windows. Additionally, this control allows for multiple image sizes of up to 48x48, along with customizable colors and fonts, background pictures, and variable opacity. ExplorerBarXP also supports embedded controls and expandable, collapsible, and closeable groupings, as well as multiline captions and sortable indentations for treeview-style formats. Additionally, you can add balloon-style tooltips, adjust margins, and incorporate link, text, control, and picture TaskItems.
