Very nice, but it doesn't unload 
correctly.  You may want to check for 
mem leaks...

Suggestion:
Put this in the form 
unload:
Private Sub 
Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Dim 
ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In 
frm_Main
Set ctrl = Nothing
Next 
ctrl
End
End Sub
This takes 
care of the problem...

Very good. If you'd like help on using 
dynamic menus vs static, showing the 
system menu (when you right click 
titlebar), resizing form, and some 
other suggestions just email me. Again, 
good job.

menus. 5 marbles just looking at the

This is certainly one of the better

worlds greatest, but pretty good none 
the less. definately worth 5 globes for 
the effort. keep up the great work.

The last version 
seemed to take awhile to full screen 
aswell..
it still looks sharp though.

Nice Code.
But there are some little 
bugs...
-I'm Using Big Fonts and the 
toolbar doesn't draw the icons where 
they should be drawn. 
-flickering Is 
annoying (mainly on the toolbar). 
-The ListObject doesn't draw properly 
(On the bottom of the list). 
-No 
hovering Effects on ControlBox Buttons 
:(
-Buttons have a fixed Height 
?
-And It's too Hard and Boring set 
the SkinPath for each control, a Single 
Routine should do It in the whole 
App.
I hope you Fix some of this 
bugs and Re-Submit, I don't want to 
vote with 4 ( I know this is a great 
work, but those small bugs...), so I'll 
Wait the next release for 
vote.

that's so cool .. i like the idea so 
much ... i think all the loading of the 
conrtols could be encapsulated in one 
automated procces  .. like the form 
control shuold seach for the availble 
skinnable controls on screen and apply 
it's skin to them and load them 
automatically ... so that i won't have 
to load each control by my self ... in 
the end mostly all of the controls will 
be using the same skin ... 
   but 
still great work ... ..... 5 globes ..

Theres a Control
