Hello one and all

I am new here and so I am seeking your help. How would I be able to get an outlook style sidebar as attached done in strataframe? If anyone have the sample code it would be appreciated.

Also, how are tabs done in strataframe?

There is a Tab control that comes with .NET. I've not had good luck with it (it tends to rearrange the controls within itself under, as yet, unknown situations...a real pain). I'm moving to using the ThemedLinkMenu instead of tabs. It works well and looks nice/modern. It is designed to work directly with a PanelManager, so it is very easy to set it up to handle this sort of navigation.



Likely, with a bit of creative thought and some work, you could create you're own outlook control as a user control. I might try a PanelManager and a set of buttons. Making it generic (i.e. with a configurable number of buttons) and with nice designer support would likely be a bit more work, but to create one specifically for you needs might not be too bad.



Hope that sparks some ideas!
