howto put toolbar to dialog app

how do i put a tool bar into my dialog based application


CToolBar * t_bar = new CToolBar();
t_bar->CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE );
t_bar->LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1);

but the tool bar just doesn't seems to load ... thanx a lot

Try

t_bar->LoadToolBar(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_TOOLBAR1));
if you created a toolbar with the resource editor.

OR

try casting the HMENU of CreateWindowEx() as the ID of the toolbar if you create it 'on the fly'

ie (HMENU)IDR_TOOLBAR

check that you have used ShowWindow(), UpdateWindow() after creating the toolbar.
