CommonControlsEx (Replacement of the MS common controls)

This project is intended to replace the MS common controls for VB6.

As for now, the „MSCOMCT2.OCX“ can be replaced completly. (Except the FlatScrollBar control, because this is not supported on comctl32 v6.0)
The „MSCOMCTL.OCX“ can not yet replaced fully, as for example the ListView/TreeView control is missing. (But might be included soon)

These are the controls that are available at the moment:

- Animation
- DTPicker
- ImageList
- MonthView
- ProgressBar
- Slider
- TabStrip
- UpDown
- ToolTip (This is new, because it does not exist in the MS common controls for VB6)

For the ImageList and the TabStrip is a property page implementation. That means you can add items at design time.

At design time (IDE) there is only one dependency. (OLEGuids.tlb)
This is a modified version of the original .tlb from the vbaccelerator website.

But for the compiled .exe there is no dependency, because the .tlb gets then compiled into the .exe.

The underscores at the tabstrip control are added to demonstrate that the shortcut via ALT key is supported.

Attached is the demo project.
Everything should be self explained, because all functions and properties have a description.
