Well I have been at it for some time, searched the newsgroups and all, but in the end found nothing. I create my toolbars with this call: g_hwndTB[j] = CreateWindowEx(0, TOOLBARCLASSNAME, (LPSTR) NULL, TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS | TBSTYLE_FLAT | CCS_NODIVIDER, 0, 0, 0, 0, hwndParent, 0, g_hInst, NULL); j is the specific toolbar, this is a loop creating each toolbar in sucession. I add the bitmaps, the buttons, etc. Then I create the rebar: HWND hwndRb = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, REBARCLASSNAME, (LPSTR) NULL, RBS_VARHEIGHT | RBS_AUTOSIZE | RBS_BANDBORDERS | RBS_DBLCLKTOGGLE | RBS_REGISTERDROP | RBS_VARHEIGHT | CCS_NODIVIDER | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | RBS_VERTICALGRIPPER | WS_BORDER | WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_VISIBLE, 0, 0, 0, 0, hwndParent, 0, g_hInst, NULL); After this I insert the bands as follows: REBARBANDINFO rbbi; rbbi.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO); rbbi.fMask = RBBIM_COLORS | RBBIM_CHILD | RBBIM_CHILDSIZE | RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_ID | RBBIM_SIZE; rbbi.clrFore = GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT); rbbi.clrBack = GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE); rbbi.fStyle = RBBS_NOVERT | RBBS_CHILDEDGE ; for(int i=0; i, TB_GETBUTTONSIZE, 0, 0); rbbi.wID = i; rbbi.hwndChild = g_hwndTB; rbbi.cx = LOWORD(dwBtnSize)*SendMessage(g_hwndTB, TB_BUTTONCOUNT, 0, 0); rbbi.cxMinChild = LOWORD(dwBtnSize) * SendMessage(g_hwndTB, TB_BUTTONCOUNT, 0, 0); rbbi.cyMinChild = HIWORD(dwBtnSize) + 2; // Insert band into rebar SendMessage(hwndRb, RB_INSERTBAND, i, (LPARAM) (LPREBARBANDINFO) &rbbi); } The toolbars are sending WM_COMMAND messages as they are supposed to, and everything ''seems'' to be working correctly. I can drag them, change the size, etc, but the problem is the focus. In this picture: http://venturello.com/files/5.gif You can see how the toolbars are grayed out. They are active, if I click on them the specific toolbar gains focus and the parent window looses it, as you can see here: http://venturello.com/files/6.gif Hope someone can help me. Thanks!! pd. I have tried setting the toolbars parent the rebar control. This does not help. </i>

I am inserting the different toolbars each one in one band of the rebar. Anyway, I tried inserting only one, and the same thing happens.
