hiding toolbars

How can you enable the hiding and reappearance of additional toolbars.

Hi,

1) Create some resources on your menu to show and hide the tool bar (or context menu or whatever you want)

2) In your mainframe class, handle the command to show/hide the toolbar (for example, I handle OnViewHideToolbar1 in response to the user checking, or unchecking a menu item under the View menu).

The handler should look like this:


void CMainFrame::OnViewHideToolbar1()
{
// first check it visible state (hidden or visible)
BOOL bVisible = ((m_wndToolBar1.GetStyle() & WS_VISIBLE) != 0);
// then toggle
ShowControlBar(&m_wndToolBar1, !bVisible, NULL);
RecalcLayout();
}

// then manage the update handler
void CMainFrame::OnUpdateViewHideToolbar1(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
BOOL bVisible = ((m_wndToolBar1.GetStyle() & WS_VISIBLE) != 0);
pCmdUI->SetCheck(bVisible); // depending on your menu's wording...
}




I got this from somewhere. Maybe the VC++ docs, maybe the net... not sure.

HTH,
