toolbar in dialog

[VIsualPenguin]

I've made a program with MFC in visual C++ 6. then I tried to insert a toolbar. I've made one, IDC_TOOLBAR1. then I tried this code to place it in the dialog:

[code]
if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}

But when I run this code, I dont get a toolbar. what's wrong, or can anybody give me a little code example (if possible)?

thanks in advance

This is strange, that's exactly the code the wizard creates. Try adding the part about docking, maybe the bar isn't displayed otherwise.

not when I create a dialog based application.

Or try adding a call to CFrameWnd::ShowControlBar

It's dialog based? That makes it more complicated. MFC is more a hindrance than a help when you're trying to do things that were not planned.

Try using CToolBarCtrl instead of CToolBar
