1. Explorer-style menu and tool bars
Is it possible with Win32lib to create IE style tool bars?
Specifically, IE has a menu in a rebar which doesn't seem to be valid in
win32lib. Also, is it possible to have a rebar band with button styles
like IE (flat buttons that have a border when the mouse hovers, edit and
drop-down boxes and such)?

Heyas Jonas, hope this reaches you (ie does not get
lost in the flood of activity on the boards
lately)...IE style Toolbars are very codable in
Win32Lib. You just have to hack it a little bit. And
know what controls to use.

They fooled you =). IE does *not* have a menu in a
rebar control. Thats actually a custom Toolbar
control and when a user hits one of the buttons they
show a pop-up window.

Sure can. As a matter of fact my Toolbar in Nexus is
exactly what you are looking for. As a bonus, the
"Help Topics" button is a single button pull down
quite by coincidence.
Check out Nexus some time and see if my toolbar is
what you are looking for. If so, I can quickly weed
out the code you would be interested in and make a
"demo" type program showing you how to build one (when
time permits).
