I added the toolbar, but docking is not possible in cdialogs, it seems.

yes with the help of CCS_BOTTAM style you can.just specify this style at the time of creation of a toolbar

CreateWindowEx(0,TOOLBARCLASSNAME, (LPSTR) NULL, 
WS_CHILD|WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW| WS_VISIBLE | TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS | 
TBSTYLE_FLAT|TBSTYLE_REGISTERDROP|TBSTYLE_SEP|TBSTYLE_LIST|TBSTYL
E_ALTDRAG| WS_BORDER|TBSTYLE_REGISTERDROP|CCS_BOTTOM , 10, 0, 
20, 30, m_hWnd,(HMENU) NULL, _Module.GetResourceInstance(), NULL);

Hi,

I'm trying like in the example and with the CCS_BOTTOM style, but I can't get it done.

	m_Toolbar.Create(this);
	m_Toolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_PRECALCULATION_TOOLBAR);
	m_Toolbar.GetToolBarCtrl().ModifyStyle(CCS_TOP,CCS_BOTTOM);
	m_Toolbar.ModifyStyle(CCS_TOP,CCS_BOTTOM);
	RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST,0,reposDefault);

I also don't know _Module, what is it and how to use it?


Thanks,

timv

It is generally possible - but not recommended. Toolbars are designed to live in normal frame windows, not dialog boxes. Even if you get the docking done, you will have a lot of other issues (like command UI updating and command routing not working). Why don't you use an SDI window instead?
Also see this FAQ.

Do this:

m_Toolbar.Create(this,WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_BOTTOM);
m_Toolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1);
RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST,0,reposDefault);
