Resizer Wizard Activex for Visual Basic
$69 - Seekford Solutions, inc

Many programmers find it not only painful, but very annoying to have to add resize code to their Forms. Many times, deadline pressure makes it so that the Form has to be made Fixed(meaning the user can't adjust the size). With customers using different resolutions, the software has to be built to work on the lowest resolution, meaning that users having high resolutions will see a small Form. With Resizer Wizard, Fixed Forms will never have to be in your application. All of your forms can be made resizable with the simplicity of Adding the control to your form. No hand coding is neccessary. Drop the control on a Visual Basic Form and it automaticaly begins working. The Exclusion Wizard is available via the Property Pages which lets you exclude controls you don't want resized, you can even choose just to not effect certain properties on a control level basis. Many special cases are also handled by Resizer Wizard. Toolbar Controls are recognized and the controls will be adjusted to react to that fact it does not resize. Coolbar controls - handled the same way as ToolBars Microsoft Tabbed Dialog created by Sheridan (SSTab) is handled in all cases of tab size and rows, as well as orientation. Line control are properly resized proportionally, these have to be handled completely different due to different properties. All container controls are recognized as such and handled properly. Most custom controls will work properly with Resize Wizard, if a problem exists, just use the Exclusion Wizard. Supports MDI Child forms Resizer Wizard not only adjusts the Left, Top, Width, and Height properties it also calculates what the Font Size should be based on the original font size used at development time.

Lumisoft UI Controls
$0 - ComponentSpot

when using Lumisoft?s UI Controls 0.11, developers can choose from over a dozen basic flat controls and add them to their Windows Forms applications. The library includes the following controls:

· Label
· Button
· ToolBar
· EditBox
· SpinEdit
· ComboBox
· CheckBox
· PictureBox
· TabControl
· OutlookBar
· DateTimePicker

With this library, developers can quickly add controls to their applications that would normally involve much more work. For example, developers can take advantage of ButtonEdit, which is the combination of an EditBox and a Button. Other examples of controls this library offers to developers include SpinEdit and OutlookBar controls.

However, the library seems somewhat buggy. For example, the code generated when dragging a control (specifically, the wFrame type) onto a Form will not compile: it inserts obsolete code that contains a typographical error.

The controls can be configured using the Property tab in Visual Studio .NET, but lack the more advanced WYSIWYG design-time support offered by other control libraries. The code of the library is written in C#. The controls lack databinding capabilities. Some properties don?t seem to have any effect. Limited to one style, unlike other libraries. The toolbar cannot float in applications; namely, it is not dockable.
