I'm a bit stuck in how to add toolbars dynamically for a MDI application.
Depending on the settings, we optionally want to display a new toolbar...

We are so far a bit puzzled about how to go about this.

Any pointers?

Found a solution but not sure this is the expected one.
We create a optional toolbar in the CMainFrame::OnCreate like normal,
set the toolbar to be non-visible: pToolBar->SetVisible(FALSE);
Then when a document is loaded, and with the proper settings in place, we force that toolbar to be visible by call pToolBar->SetVisible(TRUE);

As a side affect (I believe this is a bug), when saving and restoring the toolbars via the CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode, the toolbar becomes visible all the time, when the app is reloaded. To fix that we had to put an additional call to pToolBar->SetVisible(FALSE); at the end of CMainFrame::ExchangeLayout(..)

It works but seems a bit untidy...
Suggestions?
