OfficeMenu™ is the ActiveX control for VB that creates instant Microsoft Office XP, Office 2003, and Visual Studio 2005 .NET style menus. Version 1.7 adds support for Office 2007 style menus. No coding is required, and a more polished user interface can be achieved in just minutes.
OfficeMenu lets you quickly provide a modern and professional appearance for your applications, and looks just like the menus found in many Microsoft programs. The menu's colors automatically change to match Office's colors exactly for any given windows theme or visual style. No other menu component provides a more authentic emulation of the Office XP, 2003, and VS2005 style menus. We are proud to be the first component vendor to provide a native VB implementation of the new Office 2007 menu style.

OfficeMenu supports the widest variety of image formats of any custom menu control. You can use 32-bit alpha channel icons and PNG images, even on older versions of Windows. Now, you can add icons (up to 48x48 in size) to your menus with stunning translucency and alpha-blended shadows. It also supports GIF, JPG, and bitmaps. Icons can be assigned to all menu items, even those on the menu bar.
been so easy, I
added the control and didn't write a single line of code...
Our easy to use icon selection tool lets you quickly assign your icon images to menu items, providing you with a complete preview of what your menu will look like. If you don't want to use the property window to assign the icons at design time, you can load them from disk, or assign them from an StdPicture object at runtime. This makes integration with an ImageList quick and easy.
You have complete control over the appearance of your menus. Our unique font-tagging system lets you apply different styles and colors to individual menu items. You can even create several types of color pickers in your menus. OfficeMenu also supports Unicode text, so you can now include international characters in your menus. Right to left reading support is provided for Arabic, Hebrew, etc...
Because it works with your existing menus, the benefits are realized immediately. Just add OfficeMenu to your project, recompile, and you are ready to ship. It is so easy to use, we know you will be satisfied with the results. We guarantee it.
