Controlling toolbar layout

Hi, All

I've downloaded trial version of the XTP 9.51 in order to see how the library can be used with my program. Everything seems to be pretty good, except one thing... Please notice: i already have some framework, concepts and so on.

One of the concepts is the tools concept: i have some collections of tools, can switch between them, can stack them, etc. Any tool can show its own toolbars and panes, what is more, the framework (i mean common UI code) hasn't knowlege about all the tools. Tool itself doesn't create additional panes and bars - it just tells, what should be created.

So, there is a problem as i can see (or, may be, it's not a problem). I need to manage toolbars and panes layout somehow by myself. In particular, i have a common code, that shows/hides/places toolbars/panes (at least, it's presumed to work in this way). I can't create all toolbars and panes at one moment and keep them existing - so it's necessary to create/destroy toolbars/panes dynamicaly and (it's important) to keep them on desired place. Hence i need some mechanism to load/save state and placement of the single toolbar/pane (not the whole layout) i order to place correctly (as it's possible based on the current toolbars / panes layout) newly created toolbars/panes. Is it possible? At first glance (at the second too ) i couldn't find the way to separately save/restore placement of the bars and their docking state.

You can only hide/show individual toolbars.
