CToolBar::CreateEx
Call this function to create a Windows toolbar (a child window) and associate it with the CToolBar object.
virtual BOOL CreateEx(
CWnd* pParentWnd,
DWORD dwCtrlStyle = TBSTYLE_FLAT,
DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_ALIGN_TOP,
CRect rcBorders = CRect(
0,
0,
0,
0
),
UINT nID = AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR
);
Parameters
pParentWnd
Pointer to the window that is the toolbar's parent.dwCtrlStyle
Additional styles for the creation of the embedded CToolBarCtrl object. By default, this value is set to TBSTYLE_FLAT. For a complete list of toolbar styles, see dwStyle.dwStyle
The toolbar style. See Toolbar Control and Button Styles in the Windows SDK for a list of appropriate styles.rcBorders
A CRect object that defines the widths of the toolbar window borders. These borders are set to 0,0,0,0 by default, thereby resulting in a toolbar window with no borders.nID
The toolbar's child-window ID.
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Remarks
It also sets the toolbar height to a default value.
Use CreateEx, instead of Create, when certain styles need to be present during the creation of the embedded tool bar control. For example, set dwCtrlStyle to TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT to create a toolbar that resembles the Internet Explorer 4 toolbars.
Example
// This example demonstrates CToolBar::CreateEx by creating a
// toolbar as part of a child frame window. It also calls the
// LoadToolbar and EnableDocking functions
int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)

| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndMyToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MYTOOLBAR))
{

return -1; // fail to create
}
