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)? Jonas

[Is it possible with Win32lib to create IE style tool bars?] 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. [Specifically, IE has a menu in a rebar which doesn't seem to be valid in win32lib] 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. [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)?] 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).
