TabFrame, ToolTip, Toolbar and Statbar Demonstration
====================================================

This archive contains a demonstration of four Visual Basic
custom controls :-

    1) TabFrame which provides tabbed dialogs.
    2) ToolTip which provides MS style tooltips and several other
       context sensitive help features such as mouse, menu and
       focus tracking events.
    3) Toolbar which provides dockable toolbars (just like Word V6,
       Excel V5, Access V2 etc).
    4) Statbar which provides a flexible and easy to use status bar
       which can include up to twenty panes each of which may be
       configured to show text, a gauge, keyboard status or date/time
       information.

These controls have been designed to work together in order to
enable the implementation of a modern user interface with the minimum
of effort. The features supported have been modelled on those included
in many of the major applications and which are rapidly becoming standard
parts of the Windows user interface.
