Hello everyone ^^, i am trying to divide the Status bar to 3 parts i tried it like this


HWND hStatus;
int statwidths[] = {100,100,90,-1};
hStatus = CreateWindowEx(0, STATUSCLASSNAME, NULL,
				WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBARS_SIZEGRIP, 0, 0, 0, 0,
				hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_STATUS, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
			SendMessage(hStatus, SB_SETPARTS, sizeof(statwidths)/sizeof(int), (LPARAM)statwidths);
			SendMessage(hStatus, SB_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Hi there :)");

all i got was 2 parts one small and one big =\ i don't know what to do and about Tools bar i want make more than one tools bar one after one like usually apps thank you ,

Just curious, if you are using .Net why are you not using the .Net equivalents to these controls instead of using an (ugly) diversion into Win32 API? In general it will be easier, and you can use a nice IDE (Google "Visual Studio Express" if you don't have one) to place status bars and tool bars and edit them visually.

Turring Machines are better than C++ any day ^_~
