Programmatic creation of toolbars

I need to dynamically create a toolbar programmatically without using the apps resource. The user should not be able to modify the toolbar.

The filenames of the toolbar images will be in an simple ascii config file. I need to tie notification of a toolbar button being activated to a unique id I will create on the fly. One function needs to catch all button activation and extract the unique id. Won't know how many buttons will be created until the config file is loaded.

I went through this too in the past, maybe this will help you e.g. to create a toolbar in a CXTPDialog.

Creating the toolbar:
    CXTPToolbar *pToolbar = GetCommandBars()->Add(_T("Your Toolbar Name"), xtpBarTop);

Adding a button to this toolbar:
    CXTPControl *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetID(nYourButtonID);
    pButton->SetCustomIcon(hYourIconHandle);
    pButton->SetCaption(strYourCaptionText);
    pButton->SetTooltip(strYourTooltipText);
    // Insert button to toolbar:
    pToolbar->GetControls()->Add(pButton);

Hope this helps.
