    Toolbar Buttons

    Hi,

    I am moving forward with my win32 api research I am currently working on toolbars. I have manage to create and add a toolbar (using createWindowEx). And also buttons with images etc. But i have a few questions:

    I wanted to add a edit control to the toolbar (inbetween buttons) but havent figured out any other way to do this other that padding the lenght of the edit control with additional buttons for so to add the edit controll on top of these. Which leads to my second questions.

    Is there anyway of adding toolbars randomly on the toolbar. e.g. at any position on the toolbar you want. Right now my impression is that these get added sequential after eachother according to index (e.g no x , y)

    I don't think you can add any other controls on a toolbar except buttons. I think what you want is not a toolbar, but a Rebar control.
