Every visual control a VB6 developer needs to build rich user interfaces. Xceed SmartUI provides VB6 developers with a modular framework of visual controls for building rich state-of-the-art user interfaces. It includes MenuBars, ToolBars, TreeViews, OutlookBars, StatusBars, PropertyLists, Tabs and many more all based on the same remarkably flexible core control. Use its WYSIWYG designer to easily create your own sophisticated Office XP-style or classic UI elements.

Xceed SmartUI allows VB6 developers to build rich, reusable Office 2000 or Office XP style user interfaces. It not only includes all the latest UI controls you need, but also provides an extraordinarily modular and versatile framework for quickly and easily creating your own controls either visually with its WYSIWYG designer, or by code.

Xceed SmartUI offers an incredible amount of flexibility over the look and feel of its controls or the controls created with it. Through the use of a rock-solid, windowless and lightweight core control, user interfaces built with Xceed SmartUI end up very fast, glitch-free and use minimal resources.

These and many other unique and "developer-friendly" features make Xceed SmartUI the absolute essential tool for user interface development.

All tools work with the same properties, methods and events and use the same logical methodology making it a breeze to learn and re-use in all your projects

Real-time WYSIWYG. Add items to your treeviews, menus and other controls in design time. No more compile + run phases to see if object looks the way you want it to

Every control is flexible and the look and feel is fully customizable

Create your own controls

Design, create and customize your own controls right on your Visual Basic form without writing any code. Use either the designer's property pages or write code that uses the logically designed properties, methods and events

Create any control with a vertical or horizontal item orientation

Transform objects of one type of control to another without changing your already tested/existing code

ActiveX technology

Designed for Microsoft Visual Basic 6

The single fully self-contained ActiveX control requires no external DLLs other than the VB6 runtime you distribute with your applications. It does not require MFC, common control DLLs or anything else

100% Unicode support (including on Win98) and RightToLeft support

Supports Large Fonts

Provides extremely complete and organized property pages for visual programming

All controls are windowless for minimum use of resources and the ability to display many controls on your form without lag. Do more and put more on your forms with Xceed SmartUI

All constants, enumerations and types are built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help are fully supported

Object model

The object model's basic building blocks are the universal smart control that can appear in any shape or form, as well as the smart items that appear in the smart control

Every control provided with Xceed SmartUI is in reality a customization of the base smart control

The source code on how to build each included control is included in the lessons

Having one control ensures that there are far less bugs and makes Xceed SmartUI and your application much more stable than using separate components

Other features

By setting a single property, you can change the look of and all your SmartUI-based controls to the pixel-perfect look and feel of Office 2000 or Microsoft Office XP

Precise control over the dimensions of the items in your controls

Control the visibility, selection state and mouse hovering behavior of each item in your controls

Save and load templates (created either from code or the designer) of your custom built controls and re-use them in your other projects

Obtain Imagelists from internally saved image lists, common controls or even another SmartUI

Maintain consistency across applications by saving UI Design as reusable objects

Documentation and samples

Complete, comprehensive documentation provided in an MSDN style HTML format which is fully context-sensitive so that pressing F1 on a keyword in your IDE opens up the manual to the appropriate topic

21 complete lessons to get you up to speed fast on using any of the controls

Every visual control a VB6 developer needs to build rich user interfaces.
