Changelog
The following changes have been made since the release of the previous version:
- FIX: The background of transparent stand-alone tool bars that used the classic theme, wasn’t drawn correctly. This wasn’t really a bug because everything was working as designed. However, in most cases this wasn’t the expected result. I “fixed” this problem by detecting the situation, forcing the RaiseCustomDrawEventOnEraseBackground property to True and drawing the background after the CustomDraw event (for drawStage = cdsPreErase) if the return value doesn’t include the cdrvSkipDefault flag.
- Added a new sample “Breadcrumb Bar” which demonstrates how to use the both controls together with ComboListBoxControls and the ProgressBar control to build a neat breadcrumb bar like that of Windows Explorer.
- Reimplemented the subclassing code of the VB6 samples to make it more robust.
