I have always liked the combination of a scollable list of items or a treeview or buttons on the left vertically, and each one selected brings up a different page on the right. First saw it in the Eudora Mail Options, its also there in the Delphi IDE Options and Project Options. In lots of programs as well - Skype, Firefox all have forms of it for their options. A sort of enhanced page control. Funnily though its not in the VCL - would love one! Could write one as a combination of a listbox etc and a page control but haven't got around to investigating it yet...

As a user I find it irritating and prefer to look through a tidy list of menu items than a scattered set of horizontal options. Is anyone planning to use menus this way in their apps? And another trend I'm seeing is scrollable options pages. You need to scroll down to see all the options and settings. It's similar to viewing a web page I guess, but I've never done it this way. I use multiple tabs in tab sheets. Any thoughts? Ross. __________ NOD32 2245 (20070506) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
