How to create Outlook look&feel VB application?

[nosmile]

Hi, All,

I saw an Outlook look&feel VB application yesterday. The guy did this mentioned that
he used some sort of Microsoft provided
COM interface to do this.

But I still don't have any clue ... Please
show me some hints.

Thanks,
nosmile.

are you looking for something like the vb accelerator listbar?
check out this place:

The application that i am working on at the moment has the look & feel of outlook.
I use the Janus gridex control (take a look at www.janusys.com )
which is an hierarchical grid.
It comes with a free copy of their button bar also.
I personally have found nothing else that gives you even close to Outlook's look and feel.

I've used toolbar activex from Microsoft and i've grabbed icons from I.E. so in my program there's a toolbar look&feel outlook/IE

Check out vbaccelerator and common controls replacement project (sorry don't know the urls), they have the controls you want/need to create an outlook look and feel.
