Last week I had to create a toolbar on a dialog. I have never done this
before and I was in too much of a hurry to want to figure it all out for myself. I
turned to the code guru for help. I did find a lot of good information, but what I
really needed was a no frills, straight forward example. Often I see other people
searching for a basic example of a toolbar on a dialog in the discussion board. The
attached source is a simple, straight forward example. The source is complete, just
open the dsp and compile.
The code is documented. These steps show how how I created the application and
non code pieces.

Change the height to 30 and the width to 40.
class will manage the owner drawn button and the messages from the toolbar.
Other information:
This is just a how to sample. It is not UNICODE. I maintain no rights or
restrictions on the code. This example is not better or even as good as some of the
dialogs other people have submitted. I do believe it is about as simple as possible.
