A Frame control provides an identifiable grouping for controls, which supports XP visual styles and flicker free drawing.

This is a lightweight ActiveX control which will help you group controls in your applications and supports:

XP visual styles
Frame control can toggle between two modes: Normal and XP. When in XP style, the Frame is drawn using the current XP visual style, if available.

Flicker free drawing
The control provides absolutely flicker free drawing, even when using XP visual styles.

Contained controls state handling
The state of any contained controls can be synchronized with the state of the Frame container.

Correct painting of contained controls
Now, Option buttons, Command buttons and other controls that were not painted correctly when placed inside the standard MS Frame control, are correctly drawn.

Possible Uses
- To provide XP visual styles in your applications.
- As a replacement for the standard MS Frame control.
