I am building an user interface. My program will consist of 4 main parts:

1) Top Menu – TMainMenu. A top of a window

2) Main Menu – TTreeView. A left of a window. Each item of TreeView=corresponded TabSheet of TPageCotrol.

3) Work space – TPageControl. No tabs. An left space.

Each TabSheet has it’s own ToolBar and other controls. It will be 5 menus (5 items in TreeView) = 5 TabSheets -> 5 ToolBars and other controls on each TabSheet.

It almost exactly looks like here (it could be: TreeView as Main Menu; MainMenu as Top Menu; Work Area – ToolBar and other controls):
enter image description here

I would like to use an user interface like here:
enter image description here
Where the CoolBar are represented with the Top Menu and the ToolBar (it suits my purpose to use 5 ToolBars instead of 1 ToolBar on each TabSheet). But after a discussion here it seems impossible to copy this CoolBar with the MainMenu and the ToolBar.

My question: how to build an efficient user interface using as examples the UI of uTorrent and the UI of Windows Firewall?

Are there good alternatives, ideas of a building of the UI? How would you make your interface if you need those 4 parts as me?

Now I have something like this:

Thanks!

    You’ll have to have 5 panels in your client area.

    As you select a node in the treeview on the left you will need to call

    pnlInboundRules.BringToFront;

    The difficult thing is then how to update the single toolbar with the items that should appear on it based on what “tab” you’ve selected.

    You would have to delete the toolbar buttons, and add new buttons for that “page”.
