Thread: MFC :: Dialog ToolBar Won't Show Up ... ?

Hi there. Thanks for reading, and I hope you can help me. I am creating an address book application, and it's an MFC Dialog-Based application. I created a toolbar resource item, and I am having some trouble with it. I added a 'CToolBar' class member in my dialog class header file. In the 'OnInitDialog' function, I am calling something similar to this:

Code:

// Some code here
// ......

// Attempt to create the toolbar
if (! m_wndBar.CreateEx(/* Parameters here */) 
      || m_wndBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MYTOOLBAR)) 
{
    AfxMessageBox("Error creating toolbar.\n");    // Display error message
    return -1;      // Return '-1' (end application)
}

I do not get my error message, so I assume that the toolbar resource is created or loaded, but nothing shows up. I can display a menu ('CMenu *' class), but I can't get this to work.

If you can help me in any way I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Matt U.

I could be misinterpreting this, as I know zilch about MFC, but shouldn't this be:
if (! m_wndBar.CreateEx(/* Parameters here */)
|| ! m_wndBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MYTOOLBAR))
