The Problem is very much straight forward, I already have an existing application which has some toolbars in it and the toolbars are created when the application is launched during the runtime.

I can skin this toolbar using Prof-UI CExtToolControlBar but unfortunately it does not support all the functions of CToolBar of MFC Class which is already being used in my application, hence there is no way of escaping from using the MFC CToolBar class for me ; because of which my tool bar is still getting painted in classical MFC way can you please suggest me a way to accomplish this?

I have also attached part of the code I am using for creating and displaying the toolbar below


if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(toolbarparent,TBSTYLE_FLAT|TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS,style,CRect(0,0,0,0),AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR) ||
        !m_wndToolBar.SetButtons(buttons, sizeof(buttons)/sizeof(UINT)))
    {
        TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
        return -1; // fail to create
    }

    m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetBitmapSize(CSize(20,20));
    m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().AutoSize();
    m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetExtendedStyle(TBSTYLE_EX_DRAWDDARROWS);

    //Desc: For changing the Toolbar Control to transparent as part of Prof-UI imple
    DWORD dwStyle = m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().GetStyle();
    m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetStyle(dwStyle | TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT );
    m_wndToolBar.SetList(IDB_GRAYIMAGELIST,maintools);
    m_wndToolBar.SetHotList(IDB_HOTIMAGELIST,maintools);
    m_wndToolBar.MakeSetDisabledList(IDB_GRAYIMAGELIST256,maintools);

    TBBUTTONINFO nfo;
    memset(&nfo,0,sizeof(nfo));
    nfo.cbSize=sizeof(nfo);
    nfo.dwMask=TBIF_STYLE;
    nfo.fsStyle=TBSTYLE_BUTTON|TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN;
    m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl().SetButtonInfo(ID_VIEWMODE,&nfo);

thanks & regards,
