Hey all,
I am designing an app that uses the ultra explorer bar and I would like to have a feature similar to OneNote's version. In OneNote, when minimizing the explorer bar, instead of simply seeing "Navigation Bar" text like in Outlook, you can see the groups listed as state buttons. Here is an example of what I mean http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/images/gallery/screenshots/office/onenote_biz_web.jpg. See the explorer bar on the left with the items, Home, Work, School etc.
I can submit this as a feature request but I think this could be easy to implement on my own with some guidance. Maybe with some magic code inside a draw filter or something?
Thanks

Well I had something like this working but it was kind of clanky. Basically, I would add an ultratoolbarstrip control to the UltraExplorerBarGroupHeaderUIElement.Control. The tabs were setup vertically and looked kind of like the OneNote example. I had to size the tabstrip to the location and size of TextUIElement within the UltraExplorerBarGroupHeaderUIElement. But that did the trick. The tabs were sync'ed with the list of ultraexplorer bar groups. When the explorer bar expanded I would hide the tabstrip.
However, once I got it finished I didn't really care for it. LOL. I may go back to it but it seemed to be too much for very little return.
