I’m trying to create a searchbar similiar to the one in windows (start -> search -> all files/folders).

I’ve taken a look at the PageContainer sample and created a similiar vertikal bar.

How do I add a search button below all pages?
How do I make sure that page 1 is always visible (all over pages can be shown/hidden)?

Dear Jonas,

Sorry for the delay with this answer. The exeplorer-like search window should be based on resizable bar without caption. It should contain one child form with single line edit and "Search" button in the middle and custom-drawn caption control at top (with "X" button). This design will also allow you to show or hide search window when needed. We can help you to code it.

That is not exactly what I want.
I want something similiar to the Custom-drawn page container in the PageContainer project.

In that example there are these pages:
* A dialog page
* custom-drawn shortcut
* listview
* web browser

I want a similiar container but in a resizable bar with the following pages:

* Main search (can not be minimized), got two edit controls: Artist/Title
* Album, got one edit control: Album
* Year, got two edit controls: from/to
* Quality, four radio buttons: Low/Middle/High/All

And below those containers I want the search button.

Sorry for the bad explanation, hope you can help.

Dear Jonas,

We have sent you an e-mail with a sample project attached. It should help you design your search bar.

Excellent! Thank you very much for the help.

We are using BCGSoft ControlBarPro at my work.
Prof-uis got much better design (both code and layout) and the support is better (code examples and more detailed answers)
