Hi! :)

I would like to add a toolbar to my MFC application to show a tree structure, something like Visual Studio img146.imageshack.us.

I did some researches in MSDN documentation and I found "Dialog Bars".. is that the right tool I have to use to create my toolbar? I would like to be sure it is the right way before spending a lot of time googling around..

Thanks a lot! :) :) :)
(and sorry for my poor english)
 
Hi Takhysis

Add to the .h file.

Code:
CToolBar m_ToolBar;

Add to the dlg .cpp file in OnInitDialog()
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
	}

RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST,AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST,0);

In the Resources add a IDR_TOOLBAR1 toolbar object.

This will create a toolbar for a dialog based app MFC C++
 
Yes that will create a toolbar, but I don't need a toolbar with more buttons.. What I need is what someone calls "docking pane", a toolbar (preferably resizable) with a tree control inside, something like Visual Studio "Solution Explorer" pane (that's what I tried to link).
