Vertical rebar, not wide enough

I'm trying to make a vertical rebar, however it doesn't resize horizontally properly.

Code:

---

ZeroMemory(&rbi,sizeof(REBARBANDINFO));
    rbi.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO);
    rbi.fMask = RBBIM_CHILD|RBBIM_TEXT|RBBIM_STYLE|RBBIM_SIZE|RBBIM_CHILDSIZE;
    rbi.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE;
    rbi.cyMinChild = 1070;
    rbi.cx = 2050;
    rbi.lpText = "Controls";
    rbi.cch = lstrlen(rbi.lpText);
    cCtrls[_TOOLSREBAR].SetMetrics(REBARCLASSNAME,NULL,10,110,500,100,0,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CCS_NOMOVEX|CCS_LEFT);
    cCtrls[_TOOLSREBAR].parent = HWND_MAIN;
cCtrls[_TOOLSREBAR].Init();
    cCtrls[_TOOLSREBAR].SendMsg(RB_SETBARINFO,0,(LPARAM)&ri); 
 cCtrls[_TOOLSREBAR].SendMsg(RB_INSERTBAND,(WPARAM)-1,(LPARAM)&rbi);

---

rebarinfo is defined a bit before that code but seeing as it is not required I left that part out.

cCtrls[] is an array of type CTRL which is a crappy little control class I just made up to test.

I'm sending all the required messages I believe, and I know the height and the width should be a certain value which I've set but it doesn't go any wider than one character.:confused:

Has anybody had this sort of problem before?

Judging by the lack of responses I'd say not many people have worked with rebars, they are explorer style tool bars right?

Yeah

Well the best advice I can offer is read and re-read the MSDN stuff on them. Sorry I can't help any more.

Edit: Bathurst huh? Cool...I'm Tasmanian, feel sorry for me. :P

lol, :) ..

I had the same problem but I replaced / filled the rebar with a dialog bar.

Excuse me to interrupt but what is a dialog bar?

I've made my own control to replace the rebar, it's much easier to use and works.

Lyx, I found this on MSDN:
