Hey! I´m using Visual Studio 6.0 and want to create a toolbar to my win32 program. This is a big problem! For start the WNDCLASSEX structure dosn´t have toolbar class member (similar to the icon member hIcon). Then you can´t use CreateWindowEx, becuase there is no proper window object for a toolbar (only BUTTON, COMBOBOX, LISTBOX...). In the script resource editor in VC6.0 you can create a toolbar, but how the H*** are you going to connect it to the window? Please help me! Thanks, Zeblar Nagrim, Lord of Chaos

You use the CreateToolbarEx(lots of stuff here) function. And that''s all you need to do.

Yeah, in the CMainFrame::OnCreate() you do something like this:

if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | CBRS_TOP| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME)){TRACE0("MainFrame Toolbar couldn''t be created\n");return -1; // Error!}

This is the code, VC++ 6.0 produces if you choose to have a standard toolbar in your project....
use the DockControlBar(); and m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(); to control your toolbars...

ok, hope that helped,
cya,
Phil
