Thomas Allin's Property Window is an ActiveX control for editing properties and has a very pleasing and functional user interface.
I use this control extensively in my work so I speak from experience when I say I have found it particularly useful. For a free control it can save you quite a bit considering you no longer have to pay for a commercial equivalent. Versions 7.0 and below The version available here is the latest version. For versions 7.0 and below the control can be downloaded from Thomas's web page at www.vb-components.com. Version 8.0 Since taking over the source for this control I have reworked some aspects to eliminate some small bugs and scalability problems. I have also taken the opportunity to rework and rationalise all the object model interfaces as well as the underlying architecture. This means that you cannot simply replace version 7.0 with version 8.0. It will require some reworking of the code using the control before you are able to replace 7.0 for 8.0. A full object-model helpfile is included in the setup and merge modules for this control. Version 8.1 This version has some minor adjustments and fixes as listed below. A new help file has been developed and filled out documenting the object model and how it can be used including full context sensitive help. I am also grateful for the improvemenst and contributions from Alfonso Martínez de L. who added the Visible attribute to properties, improving control and flexibility. Further enhancements include:

Version 8.3 [30/04/2004 - Release] The Property Window control has been released as Open Source software and a project set up at Source Forge. The control is now released under the Lesser General Public Licence and contributions are welcome.
InstallationDownload and Install setup file. Source code and merge modules are also available. NOTE: If you are just downloading the source-code, I recommend that you download the installer first and run it. There are a couple of OCX dependencies which are required that the installer will set up for you. |
