SandBar for Windows Forms

SandBar is a powerful, easy to use toolbar and menu library for Windows Forms. It boasts a comprehensive range of features designed to give your applications a great looking interface while minimizing development costs. SandBar gives you toolbars, menuing, statusbars and task panes that emulate the look of Office 2003, Office XP or Visual Studio 2005 and are fully configurable without having to write a single line of code.

The designer support in SandBar is unparalleled by any other toolbar/menu library. Interacting with toolbars and menubars at design time is just like using them at runtime with extra controls to add and manipulate buttons. Full drag and drop of items is supported between toolbars and menus. Menu designers that present your menus at design time just the way they are presented at runtime make configuring an advanced menu system as easy as point and click.

Need to upgrade an existing .net form to make use of the SandBar library? No problem. The SandBar designers will automatically convert existing standard .net menus and toolbars, from copying properties to binding the events for you. It's as easy as answering a prompt when SandBar is first added to your form.

There are no clunky collection editors or new windows to open up for configuration, making SandBar the most productive library of its kind to work with. As well as using the specialised containers for redocking, you have the option to use any of the controls in a standalone, locked form - including the ToolBar, MenuBar, ContainerBar, StatusBar and FlatComboBox.
