Chapter 7. OutlookBarTab Component

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Detailed Design

• Implementation

All projects, no matter how small or large, must start somewhere. Ideally, you should build the core components of a system and gradually expand outward until such time as the outer layers can be built in parallel. The OutlookBar control will be developed using this same process. First, the OutlookBarTab is created. The OutlookBarTab provides a simple starting point for the overall project. In Chapter 8, “OutlookBar Control,” the OutlookBarTab is used within the main OutlookBar control. The OutlookBar control is then further extended in Chapter 9, “ImageListView Control,” to provide for image support.
