ctListBar is a multi-column navigation component similar to Microsoft's®
Outlook™ and Visio list bars. ctListBar displays sets of sliding lists; each
list containing its own group of items. An item can be represented
with text and/or an image (icons or bitmaps). Clicking on a list bar
button slides the selected list and its items into view. When there
are more list items in a list than can be displayed within the
object, navigation buttons are automatically displayed allowing the
end-user to scroll hidden items.
