I’d like to have a toolbar without the chevron button. I have created class derived from CExtToolControlBar and overrided CExtToolControlBar::OnCreateBarRightBtn() method. Everything works fine when toolbar is docked - there is no chevron, but it is visible when the toolbar is in floating state. What I did wrong?

Thanks,

Additionally you should turn off the menu button in the control bar’s caption. So your overridden version of OnNcAreaButtonsReinitialize() may look like as follows.

void CExtControlBar::OnNcAreaButtonsReinitialize()
{
	ASSERT_VALID( this );
	INT nCountOfNcButtons = NcButtons_GetCount();
	if( nCountOfNcButtons > 0 )
		return;
	NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonClose(this) );
	#if (!defined __EXT_MFC_NO_TAB_CONTROLBARS)
		NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonAutoHide(this) );
	#endif // (!defined __EXT_MFC_NO_TAB_CONTROLBARS)

	// THESE THREE LINES SHOULD BE COMMENTED OUT
	// NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonExpand(this) ); 
	// NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonMenu(this) );
	// NcButtons_Add( new CExtBarNcAreaButtonFloatingMaximizeRestore(this) );
}

Thanks for your help. Now it works fine!
