I’m trying to put a toolbar in a resizable dialog.  In the resource I have:

IDD_DOX_LIST DIALOGEX 0, 0, 296, 222

STYLE DS_SETFONT | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_THICKFRAME

CAPTION "Measurement List"

FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x1

BEGIN

    CONTROL         "Incr",IDC_BTN_DEC_INCR,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | WS_TABSTOP,4,28,16,14

    CONTROL         "Decr",IDC_BTN_DEC_DECR,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | WS_TABSTOP,20,28,16,14

    CONTROL         "Print",IDC_BTN_PRINT_DOX,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | WS_TABSTOP,42,28,16,14

    COMBOBOX        IDC_CMB_DRAG_LINK,62,28,135,64,CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | WS_TABSTOP,WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE

    CONTROL         "Float",IDC_BTN_FLOAT_DOX,"Button",BS_OWNERDRAW | WS_TABSTOP,239,28,50,14

    GROUPBOX        "",IDC_ST_BTNS,1,23,292,20,WS_DISABLED

    CONTROL         "",IDC_GRID_DOX,"RGuiRoot",WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_TABSTOP,1,46,292,162

    CONTROL         "",IDR_DOXLST_BAR,"ProfUIS-ControlBar",WS_DLGFRAME | 0x2034,0,0,294,14

END

and

IDR_DOXLST_BAR TOOLBAR  16, 16

BEGIN

    BUTTON      ID_DOXLST_DEC_INCR

    BUTTON      ID_DOXLST_DEC_DECR

    SEPARATOR

    BUTTON      ID_DOXLST_PRINT

    SEPARATOR

    BUTTON      ID_DOXLST_CMB_DRAG

    SEPARATOR

    BUTTON      ID_DOXLST_FLOAT

END

In OnInitDIalog I have the following:

 CExtNCW<CExtResizableDialog>::OnInitDialog();

 m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_DOXLST_BAR);

 RepositionBars(0, 0xFFFF, IDR_DOXLST_BAR);

RepositionBars is also called in OnSize()

The toolbar appears but it takes up the entire height of the dialog.

ALSO, how do I set the toolbar button status?  Do I just add ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI entires to the dialog message map?

I’m guessing on the style flags in the ProfUIS-ControlBar. I just copied it from examples.

CExtToolControlBar windows are always based on the MFC’s command updating mechanism. Yes, you should add command updating methods for toolbar buttons if you want to change enabled/checked/radio states of toolbar buttons. Any MFC/Prof-UIS control bars can be re-dockable only inside frame windows. The control bars created inside dialogs and other non-frame windows always take up some space in their parent window as the status bar does.

I forgot to mention, I added this to the data map:

 DDX_Control(pDX, IDR_DOXLST_BAR, m_wndToolBar);

I forgot to mention, I added this to the data map:

 DDX_Control(pDX, IDR_DOXLST_BAR, m_wndToolBar);
