THANK YOU! That solved it 100%!

I changed the call to:

Code:
	if (!m_wndPageBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC, 0, IDR_PAGEBAR) ||
		!m_wndPageBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_PAGEBAR))
	{
		TRACE0("Failed to create page toolbar\n");
		return -1;      // fail to create
	}
Rating your post highest and marking this as resolved. Thank you so much for your time. Much appreciated.
