Hide/remove tool bar

[rmirani]

Hi guys,

Is there some way of removing the toolbar from your program after you've created it?
I added it when creating the software long ago but now I'd like to do without it.
Simply deleting it doesn't seem to be possible.
I've also tried editting the resource file, but after that the sofware won't compile any longer.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about this toolbar; the one with the icons:

Thanks!

how did you "delete" it? And where from?

From the .rc file, where it says:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Toolbar
//

IDR_MAINFRAME TOOLBAR DISCARDABLE 18, 17
BEGIN
BUTTON ID_FILE_NEW
BUTTON ID_FILE_OPEN
BUTTON ID_FILE_SAVE
END

Deleting that results in errors.

Ah, never mind.
Found it!
Sorry for the trouble.
Whether to draw the toolbar or not can be set in CMainFrame, which contains the toolbar.
It needs to be set in CMainFrame::OnCreate

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
	.....; // leaving out the standard stuff here
	.....;
	.....;

	m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
	EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
	DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);

	BOOL SHOWTOOLBAR=FALSE;

	ShowControlBar(&m_wndToolBar, SHOWTOOLBAR, FALSE);

	return 0;
}

Thanks for the help!
