ViDock

This a menu bar for Windows. It will read the standard native menus (IE those in Notepad) and replicate them on a consistent bar at the top of the window. The functionality could be described as being similar to OSX's Menu bar.

Background

The last lee-soft project. Created for the Windows X OSX Transformation Pack.

Libraries

Getting Started

  • Ensure you have Visual Basic 6.0(Service Pack 6) installed
  • Grab the WinU and GDIPlus TLB - extract the TLBs and add as a reference to the project
  • Grab the HookMe zip - extract the files (IHookSink.cls, MHookMe.bas) over the placeholder files (IHookSink.cls, MHookMe.bas) and disregard any other files
  • Grab the Extended GDIPlusWrapper library - extract contents to "GDIPlusWrapper" and follow instructions for creating the library

I have been unable to contact the original author of the vbAccelerator GDIPlusWrapper (steve@vbaccelerator.com). Permission to include his library here is pending and until it is approved I will not be able to include it here.
