Thread: Text Only Toolbars

Hello, I want to mimic a menu on my window using a toolbar, the main problem I'm having is the size issues. Whenever I create a toolbar it seems to always leave space for a bitmap, even if I don't specify a bitmap. I'm using some modified code I got from www.foosyerdoos.fsnet.co.uk just for testing purposes. Please could somebody look at this code and tell me why there is a big gap between the top of the button and the text?

Code:

#pragma comment(lib,"comctl32.lib")

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>

HINSTANCE appInst;         
HWND      hwndTool;

#define WINWIDTH  300
#define WINHEIGHT 300



LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd,UINT Message,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
	switch (Message)
    {
    case WM_CREATE:
        {
			INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX iccx;
			TBADDBITMAP          tbAddBmp;
			TBBUTTON             tbb[5];

			iccx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);

        }

    default:

    }
}



int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)

	hwnd=CreateWindowEx(0,

	if (!hwnd)
    {

    }

	ShowWindow(hwnd,nCmdShow);
	UpdateWindow(hwnd);

	while (GetMessage(&Msg,NULL,0,0)>0)
    {
		TranslateMessage(&Msg);
		DispatchMessage(&Msg);
    }
	return Msg.wParam;
}

I have read many pages at msdn relating to toolbars and have not yet found a solution to my problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

ps. sorry for the long code, I posted the whole thing because I wanted it to be as hassle free as possible to understand my problem.
