Navigation Sidebar
Introduction
Recently, a client requested an Outlook 2003 style navigation bar for his WTL project. Not finding a suitable control on CodeProject in WTL, I decided to create one. I hope you find this control useful for your own projects; appropriate attribution of credit would be appreciated.
An Outlook 2003 navigation bar is equivalent to a tabbed window system that changes two views at once. It can accommodate any number of "tabs", although it works best with a relatively mediocre amount.
This project requires:
- WTL 7.5 or later.
- atlgdix.h from www.viksoe.dk.
- GDI+ from Microsoft.

Introduction
I believe there's an old saying, "Clothes maketh the man", and this definitely applies to software too. No matter how clever and hard-working your applications are, if they're not wearing the latest well-designed clothes, people will think they are poorly written and out of date.
While working on a new project recently, I did a quick search on the web to see what the competition was up to. One of the features they had, which I didn't, was an Outlook-style menu bar, commonly referred to simply as an Outlook Bar. Deciding I wanted one too, I thought about writing my own. Searching the Code Project, I found two useful articles, Marc Clifton's An Outlook Bar Implementation, and Outlook XP bar by ACorbs. Both these articles were interesting and thought-provoking, and I downloaded each of them for a bit of a poke around, as one does!
I then found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I didn't want to simply copy someone else's code, but at the same time, I didn't want to spend hours and hours reinventing the wheel. I remembered a comment made by my manager at a previous job, many years ago. "What are we trying to do here? Achieve technical excellence, or get a job done?" Realising that Marc and ACorbs had done the former, I decided to go for the latter approach, and started doing some lateral thinking.

SummaryIntroduction
I have been reading codeproject for some time and have been using the codes provided. I saw that there were quite a few articles on outlook side bar. Then while searching for the same in google I found Matias Woloski’s blog and his creation (a Composite UI Application Block(CAB) workspace) outlookbarworkspace which created a beautiful outlook like side bar. Then I went on to study Microsoft Smart client software factory and decided to use both these in my next project. A few days back I decided to write an article on whatever I learnt in the process and basically using the smart client software factory to get an outlook bar.
As this is my first article I will be very anxious to know if you found it to be useful. So please do provide feedback. Copyright : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/smart/smartclientoutlookbar.aspx->Read More...
OutlookBar: A Simplified Outlook Style Sidebar Control
Introduction
I'm currently working on a personal project in which I want to build a small application with an Outlook 2003 style of navigation. This includes the Outlook sidebar containing the colorful buttons. I have been looking for this control here on CodeProject, so far I could only find one written in C++ with WTL.
I decided to write my own Outlook sidebar usercontrol in and for C# (2.0) so it can be easily extended and custimized to the developer's need. This project therefore contains all the sources which may be modified by any means and for any purpose.
Note that the usercontrol does not contain any 2.0 runtime specific code so it should be fairly easy to port it back to 1.1 projects if needed.
