100% native VCL library

Total Control, Flexibility, and Power The Only No Limits Menu, Toolbar, and Sidebar System Available for the VCL

The ExpressBars Suite is the most advanced Toolbar, Menu, and SideBar navigation system for Delphi and C++Builder developers. This 100% native VCL library is designed to free your end-users from the limitations imposed by standard menu and toolbar systems - At the same time enabling full runtime customization, ALL WITHOUT WRITING A SINGLE LINE OF CODE.

The ExpressBars component library is the only menu, toolbar, and sidebar system to offer complete support for the look, feel, and behavior introduced in Microsoft® Office® 97, 2000, and Internet Explorer. In fact, once you start using the ExpressBars Suite, you can even take advantage of the most current look-and-feel standards defined by Microsoft in their upcoming Office XP (v10) and .Net Integrated Development Environment before they are actually officially released!
