I need a WinForms control that will allow me to add control such as Images and Buttons to it. Preferably the height should be "stretchable," too - I'm trying a ToolStrip control, and it won't allow me to change its height.
Should I be using a Panel instead? Or something else altogether?
It must be a native component; we're avoiding 3rd party stuff like the plague.
The VCL TControlBar is basically a docking site for a TToolBar or another controls, a ToolStrip is more like a VCL TToolBar so in your case the more similar component can be a Panel.
