How tp create MSOutlook like side tool bar

Hi Experts,

I would like to know, the procedures to create the tool bar similar to MSOutlook side bar. If you have any ideas for this please let me know.

Please Do not suggest any third party components because this code should work for kylix environment also. So please  just give ideas for doing this (Atleast show me the code written by other persons)

thanks in advance

Hi!
  I downloaded this component with source code. the outlookbar here seems to be derived from TComponent, so I hope that would help you.

Ok

I am looking at your first suggested link, I will let you know if this is helpful for kylix environment also
Good luck...
:-)
The Jedi VCL http://sourceforge.net/projects/jvcl contains such a control also.

Please reconsider your decision to introduce such a control to Linux.
Keep in mind that such Microsoft controls are not well received there.
LOL, Robert is absolutely right :-)
Just use VCL component

Ok I know that the ole concepts that we are implementing here are not supported in kylix. But any other logics by chance?

to ThoseBug:

Nope that does not give any help :(

to huiyue:

Starting from Delphi 7 we need to create clx that helps us to create both windows based and unix based components. Unfortunately VCL components does not give any help for kylix environment
I don't use kylix,so sorry about my suggestion.
>>the following does not give any help for kylix
Well then, I too can't help. Never used kylix. Sorry.
