What's New

Carried out some changes as suggested by Russ Freeman. The Changes are as follows

Introduction

This Article demonstrates the technique of creating Toolbar and StatusBar on a Dialog Window.

To acheive the goal you create a Dialog-based project from the New Project Wizard, a blank form with Ok and Cancel buttons is created by default.

Delete the buttons since you will most probably be making the project menu-driven.

//

//  First we create the ImageList for use with the ToolBar

//  in following manner

CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
mImageList->Create(24, 24, ILC_COLOR8 | ILC_MASK,  9, 9);
mImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_HELP));
mImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_BOLD));
mImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_DRAWING));
mImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_STRIKEOUT));
//

// next we create the Toolbar

//


TBBUTTON tb;

m_ToolBar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER|TBSTYLE_FLAT, 
    CRect(0,0,0,0), this, 0);

m_ToolBar.SetImageList(&m_pImageList); 
   // Set ImageList for this Toolbar created 

   // in the previous section

tb.iBitmap = 0;
tb.iString = NULL;
tb.fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
tb.fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
tb.idCommand = ID_HELP_ABOUT;

m_ToolBar.AddButtons(1, &tb);
tb.iBitmap = 1;
tb.idCommand = ID_BOLD;
m_ToolBar.AddButtons(1, &tb);
tb.iBitmap = 2;
tb.idCommand = ID_DRAWING;
m_ToolBar.AddButtons(1, &tb);

TBBUTTON tb1;
tb1.fsStyle = TBSTYLE_SEP;
m_ToolBar.AddButtons(1, &tb1);

tb.iBitmap = 3;
tb.idCommand = ID_STRIKEOUT;
tb.iString = NULL;
m_ToolBar.AddButtons(1, &tb);

//

// We now Create the Statusbar as show below

//


 
m_StatusBar.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SBT_OWNERDRAW,
    CRect(0,0,0,0), this, 0);

// You can set the no. of parts of the StatusBar (4 in this case) 

// and the width of each part not -1 means remaining width


int strPartDim[4]= {180, 260, 340, -1};
m_StatusBar.SetParts(4, strPartDim);

m_StatusBar.SetText(_T("Dialog / StatusBar / Toolbar"),0,0);
m_StatusBar.SetText(_T("Example"), 1, 0);
    
CString string;
string.LoadString(IDS_MYCOMPUTER);
m_StatusBar.SetText(string, 3 ,SBT_NOBORDERS   );
m_StatusBar.SetIcon(3,     SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_COMP), FALSE));
