Brent,
I'm a big fan of ViviFire, and what I am trying to figure out is how you were able to apply a toolbar to a rebar control, so the toolbar and rebar would "become one". If you don't mind, I'm considering using rebar toolbars in some of my future Liberty BASIC applications. I don't want you to go out of your way to do this, but could you please make a small demo for me. Thank you!

P.S. Also, could this be applied to a menubar?

Welcome to the forum, Dave!

What part of my code do you find most confusing?

Rebar bands can hold only a simgle control. However, you can use a container object to hold all kinds of controls.

You can't use a standard menu bar with a rebar, thought, because the menu is part of a window's nonclient area. MSDN has an article the describles how to create an IE-like interface, including the menus using toolbars and rebar. But it's pretty complex and I haven't tried it yet.

I'm not sure how you were able to attach the entire toolbar to the rebar control, because I know the rebar control uses the hwnd(#handle) of a control, and the toolbar you use does not have its own #handle.

I'm pretty sure that I had another question not mentioned above relating to the rebar, but I don't remember right now. If I remember, I'll post it right away.

MSDN is one of my favorite programming resources, and I always find it helpful.

Thank you for your responses.

My overall question now is how to apply a toolbar to a rebar control, because of getting the handle of the toolbar itself.

Any suggestions?
