how to create toolbar like this in dialog

there is no example about how to create a toolbar at any place in a  dialog .

Hi,

I use follow.
Add CXTPToolBar    m_wndToolBar;
 to header file.

Add

VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar(WS_DLGFRAME | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | CCS_NOMOVEY | CCS_NORESIZE, this));
    VERIFY(m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_VST_TB_SPICONFIG));
    // m_wndToolBar.SetPaintManager(new CDialogToolbarTheme() );
    CSize sz = m_wndToolBar.CalcDockingLayout(rcChild.Width(), /*LM_HIDEWRAP|*/ LM_HORZDOCK | LM_HORZ | LM_COMMIT);
    m_wndToolBar.MoveWindow(rcChild.left, 10, rcChild.Width(), sz.cy);
    m_wndToolBar.Invalidate(FALSE);

ON_MESSAGE_VOID(WM_KICKIDLE, OnKickIdle)

void CDlgOwn::OnKickIdle()
{
    m_wndToolBar.OnUpdateCmdUI();
}

Hi,

Who is the parent of the toolbar.
Is the toolbar over other child ?
make toolbar as child from other child.

Have you ad ON_MESSAGE_VOID(WM_KICKIDLE,...) ?

Hello

Your code is definitley wrong.
I tried it in the sample "GUI_VisualStudio".

First:
OnKickIdle() is never called.
(Please dont tell me that I did not add the entry to the AFX_MSG_MAP.  Yes I did !)

Second:
Setting the size of the bar does not help much.
When moving some views and docking them anew the toolbars get redrawn and resized to their original size.

OK
I didn't know that.
