    Why isn't this making a toolbar?

    Code:
    		case WM_CREATE:
    				
    		HWND ToolBar;
    				
    		ToolBar = CreateWindowEx(0, TOOLBARCLASSNAME, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    		hwnd, (HMENU)ID_TOOLBAR, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
    			
    
    			// Send the TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE message, which is required for
    			// backward compatibility.
    			SendMessage(ToolBar, TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE, (WPARAM)sizeof(TBBUTTON), 0);
    			TBADDBITMAP BmpMenusIcons;
    
    			BmpMenusIcons.hInst=HINST_COMMCTRL;
    			BmpMenusIcons.nID=IDB_STD_SMALL_COLOR;
    
    			TBBUTTON buttons;
    
    			buttons.iBitmap=STD_FILENEW;
    			buttons.fsState=TBSTATE_ENABLED;
    			buttons.fsStyle=TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
    			buttons.idCommand=ID_OPEN;

    What error is it giving you?

    There is also the CreateToolbarEx() routine.

    It wasn't giving me any errors, but it was giving me problems, I wasn't even sending messages to windows to add the pictures for the toolbar and a lot of other stuff.

    Allright, so what problems?

    First, is the CreateWindowEx() returning a valid handle? If not why not?

    Sorry I forgot to mention, it's working for me now, thanks Adrianxw, a little bit of problem with placing it in the right place but that should get fixed later on. Thanks.
