I want to add the CommandBars control to my VB6 project. In the samples that I've seen the way to deal with form sizing is to process the tbarXtreme_Resize() event, get the client area, as stated from the CommandBar control, and resize the individual controls within the client to fit within the new client area.

What I would like to do is to keep the existing client area the same, but rather resize the form to make room for the CommandBar. When I try and do that, I get an infinite callback to the Xtreme control resize event.

What's the proper method to do the resizing, such that the main form gets resized and not the individual controls?

Thanks in advance. Regards,
