Controls in Toolbars : MFC
Author
Hi,
I'm trying to place other controls besides buttons inside a toolbar. My first attempt at making it work was somewhat successful but I'm still not satisfied with it. Here is the code inside my inheritted toolbar:
My toolbar resource at first consisted of just one "dummy" button at index 0 which I replaced with my combobox. The result was that the combobox would not show up and the toolbars' height was only a few pixels. I spent forever going over my code to see if maybe I was forgetting to set a value or call some specific function that would change the height but couldn't find anything. Finally, out of curiosity I added a regular toolbar button at index 1 and it all of a sudden worked. I was able to see my combobox and interact with it.
This is not want I'm eventually aiming for, rather, I don't want ANY toolbar buttons in my toolbar for a project I'm trying to do. Basically, what I'm going to be doing is creating a tabbed control that offers context specific variables for the user to modify. Any help on how I can make it work without a default button in the toolbar would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
