I have a toolbar, and want to add a slider control to it. I have it all working, but I also want to add text to the left of it that says the current position of the slider. I created a button in the toolbar as a placeholder, and in OnCreateControl, I create a CStatic and attach it to the toolbar. However, the font of the CStatic is different from everything else.

How do I get the same font? Is it possible to have a caption for any control in a toolbar? I couldn't get it to work for a CSliderCtrl.

in the CommonControls you can find CControlStatic implementation.

Works great! I have Toolkit Pro v8.51, and the documentation pretty much only lists member functions and variables, not actual functionality and descriptive info. Takes a lot of time to find answers on your own. Appreciate the help!

another way:

My application has "vcr" buttons in the toolbar, and text next to it "item X of Y"

the way I do it is to create a dummy toolbar button, like you did and an UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler. When I update my variables, the text "updates itself".

ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_DUMMY2, OnUpdateDummy2)

void CTabFrameWnd::OnUpdateDummy2(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
CString cs ;
cs.Format("Seq %d of %-d", m_seqnum, m_totrecs-1) ;

// Add text to the toolbar button.
m_wndToolBar.ModifyStyle(0, TBSTYLE_LIST) ;
m_wndToolBar.SetButtonText(m_wndToolBar.CommandToIndex (ID_DUMMY2), cs);

}
