Toolbar Controls for Microsoft Office

The Toolbar Controls for Microsoft Office 2007 - 2000 (or the Toolbar Controls) is a plug-in for Add-in Express that provides unique features for creating a commercial class UI for your Microsoft Office plug-ins.

Any .NET controls for MS Office applications

The Toolbar Controls for Microsoft Office adds one feature to Add-in Express: it allows using any controls, not only Office built-in controls, on command bars of Outlook, Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

Until now Microsoft Office developers have been restricted in choosing visual controls. Whenever custom controls were to be used, there was an impression they’re just shadows of real controls. Buttons, edits, combo boxes and list boxes, plus pop-ups – and that's all. Sure, it is not what Office developers really want to achieve. Now this limitation is overpassed, and using the Toolbar Controls you can add any button, image, label, tree-view, grid, diagram, edit box, report to your command bars in Office 2007, Office 2003 - 2000. You can place any custom .NET controls (such as Label, Panel, CheckBox, ComboBox, ListView, ProgressBar, TreeView etc.) side by side with standard Office controls. It is what the Toolbar Controls is designated for.
