Environment: VC6

Hi, I was 14 years old when i wrote that control (almost when it came up to IE5.5) when I saw it

for first time I said to myself: "I will make my own" because 1.I like it

2.I havent been able to find it...But however - that is the story of that control.

How to Use:

1.	Projects->Add to Project->Files->SpawnFrameWnd.h/.cpp;IEPagerCtrl.h/.cpp;MenuSpawn.h/.cpp
2.	MainFrm.h changes:
	#include "IEPagerCtrl.h"
	#include "SpawnFrameWnd.h"
-------------------------------------------------------------
	//General message map functions
	protected:
	//AFX_MSG(CMainFrame)
	//add this:
		afx_msg void OnArrow();
-------------------------------------------------------------
	Replace "CFrameWnd" with "CSpawnFrameWnd"
	Replace "CToolBar m_wndToolBar" with "CIEPagerCtrl m_wndToolBar"
3.	View->Resource Symbols->New->Name: ID_ARROW -> OK
4.	MainFrm.cpp changes:
	BEGIN _MESSAGE_MAP(........)
		ON_COMMAND(ID_ARROW, OnArrow)
	.
	.
	.
	.
	.
5.	Replace "CFrameWnd" with "CSpawnFrameWnd"(everywhere, try with
replace action from the edit menu and replace all)
6.	Add message handler to WM_SIZE, and add this code to the message
replace the OnSize with that:
void CMainFrame::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) 
{
	if ( nType == SIZE_MINIMIZED )
	{
		cx1 = cx;cy1 = cy;		
	}
	else
	if ( nType == SIZE_RESTORED && cx1 != 0 && cy1 != 0)
	{
		m_wndToolBar.SetSize(cx1);
	}		

	m_wndToolBar.SetSize(cx);
	Invalidate();
	CSpawnFrameWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
}and then add that before it: "int cx1 = 0,cy1 = 0;" as global variables.
7.	Add this source code to the MainFrm.cpp
void CMainFrame::OnArrow() 
{
	HMENU lMenu;
	CPoint pPoint;
	lMenu = ::CreatePopupMenu();
	if ( lMenu != NULL )
	{
		BUTTONSINFO butInfo[100];
		int nButtons = m_wndToolBar.GetHiddenButtonsInfo ( butInfo );
		for ( int i = 0; i < nButtons; i++ )
		{
			if ( butInfo[i].nStyle == TBSTYLE_SEP &&
				i == 0 ) {}
			else
				::AppendMenu(lMenu, MF_ENABLED | MF_STRING ,
					 butInfo[i].nID, butInfo[i].strToolTip );
		}
		CMenu *pMenu;
		pMenu = pMenu->FromHandle ( lMenu );
		CRect rect;	
		m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().GetRect(ID_ARROW , &rect);
		m_wndToolBar.ClientToScreen(&rect);
		m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().PressButton( ID_ARROW );
		pMenu->TrackPopupMenu ( TPM_LEFTBUTTON, rect.left, rect.bottom, this, NULL );
		m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().PressButton( ID_ARROW, FALSE );
	}
	else
		TRACE0("ERROR: lMenu = NULL");
}
8.	Add this source code to the CMainFrame construction:
	cSpawn.LoadToolBarResource( IDR_MAINFRAME );
9.	Add the bitmaps IDB_ARROW and IDB_MENUCHK
That's it!!!
Special thanks for the Spawn class - it gives me the ability of settings bitmaps for the Menus!!! - the most important.

I hope you like what I did:)
