MFC Toolbar on Dialog?

Question

I have tried everything I can think of to get a toolbar to show up on my dialog... including trying to create it myself with CreateWindow.. but it won't show up

I created a dialog in the resource editor, and then made a class for it(tried deriving from both CDialog and CDialogEx). Isn't it possible to add a CToolbar control to it?

Answer 1

Well, there are four steps.

1, CToolBar m_ToolBar; // Meanwhile you create a resource (e.g. IDR_TOOLBAR1)

2, Call CToolBar's Create function

m_ToolBar.Create(this);

3, Call the LoadToolBar function

m_ToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1);

4, The most important step, call RepositionBars

RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);
