Hello. This may sound silly, but how can I add buttons to a coolBar. I saw other vbforums threads about coolbar, but I was not able to see any reference about adding buttons.
What I want to do is a coolbar, very like the VB6 has. (New, Open, Save, ...)
How can I do this?
Thank you.
You can use an ordinary toolbar then make it look like a coolbar.

That's ok, but it does not have the look I want. What I want to do is coolbar, with coolbar style.
Thank you Zynder, anyway.
The Coolbar is a container control that usually has two or more "Bands".
Each Band can only contain a single control. That control, typically a Toolbar or PictureBox, is the one that contains your application's buttons.
It looks a coolbar to me. Well you could draw it to complete the coolbar effect. I havent tried it but i think you can put it insde the coolbar using setparent API.
For example, in VB6 Editor, each band of the CoolBar, has more than one picture?
Then, when you pass over the mouse, the buttons get a 3D effect, right?
How can I have that effect?
(PS: If I don't use a CoolBar, my app will not pass in a certification control :( , wich, in many other things, is based on the look of the app.)
Thank you
Use the Toolbar control to hold the buttons.
Put the Toolbar controls onto a Band in the Coolbar.

Thank you Brucevde. That's just what I was looking for!
Thank you once again.
