Customize Toolbar

[Sigal Laniado]

I have created my own toolbar. I want to let the user the ability to customise the toolbar layout like in the Visual studio. Any idea?
Thanks.

did you know that the standard toolbar control that comes with VB (6) supports customization? Just set the "AllowCustomize" property to true.
If the user double-clicks the toolbar at runtime, the customization dialog pops up.

Thanks. It helps but can I display a customise dislaog box like in Visual Studio?

The Visual Studio toolbars are not the same as the Common Controls Toolbars that come with VB.

One of the best that I've seen that offers this same kind of functionality is the ActiveBar control from http://www.datadynamics.com. It costs around $140 but is well worth it (there are a few glitches, but we've been using it in a production app for over a year with no problems).
