ActiveToolBars(TM) Plus
ActiveX(TM) Control
This document contains release notes for ActiveToolBars Plus. Information in this document is more current than the on-line Help.
Included Samples
The Samples sub-folder of your product installation folder contains various samples demonstrating the use of the product. Brief descriptions of these can be found in the file Samples Descriptions.htm, located in the Samples folder.
Known Control Issues
The ActiveTabs control, like most container controls, does not function properly when inserted directly into an HTML document. Almost all container controls experience problems when directly placed in an HTML document. However, the ActiveTabs control should function normally when wrapped, such as when it is embedded within an ActiveX User Control or Document.
For other known control issues, see the Known Issues section of the help file.
New Features
Version 2.03
- The property DragFullToolBars has been added. The DragFullToolBars property specifies whether or not the control will follow the "Show Full Window Contents While Dragging" system setting.
When set to ssDragFullFollowSystem, the control will act like before - following the system setting.
When ssDragFullFalse, the control will ignore the system setting, and toolbars will be dragged with a drag rect.
When set to ssDragFullTrue, a toolbar's contents will be shown while dragging.
The property will be ssDragFullFollowSystem by default, to preserve existing applications.
See the help file for details.- The constant ssChangeAllVisible has been added to the ChangeAll method. See the help file for details.
- The combobox's style property has been made read-write at runtime except when the tool has focus. See the help file for details.
Version 2.02
- The following constant has been added to the ControlName.CustomizationString argument:
ssDeleteToolbarDlg
This constant makes it possible to customize the titlebar of the dialog displayed when the user deletes a runtime toolbar from the runtime customizer.
- The following constants were added to support the new menu animations for Windows 2000:ssExplodeMenuItem
ssFadeInMenuItem
Note: Setting the ssExplodeMenuItem and ssFadeInMenuItem customization strings under an OS other than Windows2000 does nothing since the new animations will not appear in the runtime customizer where the user can select the MenuAnimation style.
- The following Enumerations have been added to the Constants_MenuAnimation collection to support the new menu animations in Windows 2000:
ssAnimationExplode = 4
ssAnimationFadeIn = 5
Note: If the MenuAnimation property is set to either of these constants under any other OS, it is equivalent to setting the property to ssAnimationRandom.
