ToolBar Problem

Embed a CToolBar member( say m_wndToolbar ) in Ur dialog class. And also add toolbar template to the dialog resource( say IDR_TOOLBAR1 ). The following code will insert the toolbar to the dialog.

if ( !m_wndToolbar.Create(this ) || !m_wndToolbar.LoadToolBar( IDR_TOOLBAR1 ) )
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
m_wndToolbar.MoveWindow( CRect( 0, 0, 300, 30 ) );

It is not necessary to have a relationship between menu-IDs and toolbar buttons. But if we provide same id of a menu item to a toolbar item then the same function will be called whether u click the menu or toolbar button.

we can provide the same program functionality either by using push buttons or toolbar. The use of either one is a sole option of the programmer. But in programmatically it is much easier to use toolbar rather than using push buttons in UI issues.

right click the toolbar ID in resource view and click properties. then select the particuler button( for this u need to press keep visible button on the top left corner of the properties dlg ). Now in the id field u can select an existing ID or type new one.
