I use MFC, and make my programs by AppWizard.
How can I make the toolbar to be float, like the Tools Toolbar In PhotoShop.

what you are seeing are actually child windows off of the main window. I am rather new to windows programming, so I will let someone explain more.
I've never used MFC, so I'm not familiar with how you create stuff. But to make a "floating window" you have to specify the main window as the "Owner window" when you create the toolbar window (lots of windows... :rolleyes: ).
thank you...
but can any MFC user answer my question.
may be this helps
CFrameWnd::FloatControlBar
CFrameWnd* FloatControlBar( CControlBar * pBar, CPoint point, DWORD dwStyle = CBRS_ALIGN_TOP );
Return Value
Pointer to the current frame window.
Parameters
pBar
Points to the control bar to be floated.
point
The location, in screen coordinates, where the top left corner of the control bar will be placed.
dwStyle
Specifies whether to align the control bar horizontally or vertically within its new frame window. It can be any one of the following:
CBRS_ALIGN_TOP Orients the control bar vertically.
CBRS_ALIGN_BOTTOM Orients the control bar vertically.
CBRS_ALIGN_LEFT Orients the control bar horizontally.
CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT Orients the control bar horizontally.
If styles are passed specifying both horizontal and vertical orientation, the toolbar will be oriented horizontally.
Remarks
Call this function to cause a control bar to not be docked to the frame window. Typically, this is done at application startup when the program is restoring settings from the previous execution.
This function is called by the framework when the user causes a drop operation by releasing the left mouse button while dragging the control bar over a location that is not available for docking.
