Hello,
         I Know we can set the command bar at any one of the following positions
.
.
    xtpBarTop = 0,        // Docked at top.
    xtpBarBottom = 1,    // Docked at bottom.
    xtpBarLeft = 2,        // Docked at left.
    xtpBarRight = 3,    // Docked at right.
.

But i want to set the position at the bottom right by default.

      I know we can drag the bar to the right but i don't want to do that, i want the command bar to be placed at bottom right whenever the application is opened. Is there any way to do that?

Sorry I meant Tool Bar of course, please read Tool bar wherever Command bar is mentioned. Really sorry for that.

Hello,

You can place toolbar manually to call GetCommandBars()->DockCommandBar.

Hi Oleg,

Thank you very much for the reply. I have tried to place the tool bar to the right by using the following code, but it remains in the same place

    .
    .
   CRect rectBar, rectWnd;
    pStandardBar->GetWindowRect(&rectBar);
    this->GetWindowRect(&rectWnd);
    rectBar.left   += rectWnd.left - rectBar.left;
    rectBar.bottom += rectWnd.bottom - rectBar.bottom;
    rectBar.right   = rectWnd.right;
    rectBar.bottom = rectWnd.bottom;
    pCommandBars->DockCommandBar(pStandardBar, rectBar,    pStandardBar->GetDockBar());
    .
    .

but this line     pStandardBar->GetWindowRect(&rectBar); returns the rect of the whole window.

Can you please tell me how can i get the rect of the tool bar alone ?
Also is my above coding looks correct? or Am i missing something here?

Hurray !! Solved...

These lines solved the problem....

    RecalcLayout(TRUE);
    CXTPWindowRect rectBar(pStandardBar);
    rectBar.OffsetRect(rectBar.Width() * 15, 0);
    pCommandBars->DockCommandBar(pStandardBar, rectBar, pStandardBar->GetDockBar());

Even though not sure putting 15 in the line

    rectBar.OffsetRect(rectBar.Width() * 15, 0);

is right, this works OK. I tried putting different numbers but putting 15 makes it to work OK. I even tried it with resizing it works OK.

Thanks Oleg for your help
