I would like to know if there is anyway to allow Tab or Menubars  to be left or right aligned while still having the text horizontal? This way the Menuitems are "listed" or the tabs are horizontal..  Thank you.

This feature will be easily implemented with Prof-UIS 2.23 freeware coming soon (in a few days). You can use the following class for placing text horizontally in a vertically docked menu bar:

class CMyMenuBar : public CExtMenuControlBar
{
public:
   virtual CExtBarButton * OnCreateBarCommandBtn(
	  UINT nCmdID,
	  UINT nStyle = 0
	  )
   {
	  CExtBarButton * pTBB =
		 CExtMenuControlBar::OnCreateBarCommandBtn(
			nCmdID, nStyle );
	  if( pTBB != NULL )
	  {
		 ASSERT_VALID( pTBB );
		 pTBB->SetNoRotateVerticalLayout();
	  } // if( pTBB != NULL )
	  return pTBB;
   }
}; // class CMyMenuBar

Also, is it possible to make a checkbox look like the ExtButtons??  I know I can set the "Push Like" Property, but it looks like a standard windows button this way

Thanks

We have not implemented checked push buttons because they do not look good when the XP/2003 style is applied. But you can override the CExtButton::_RenderImpl() method and paint it in a whichever manner you want.
