I’ve got a CExtToolControlBar containing labels, edit-boxes & check-boxes.  How do I insert space inbetween some of these controls to improve the look?

Thanks

This is not a good solution because each CExtLabel object eats one HWND handle. You can insert CExtBarLabelButton toolbar buttons instead. Or you can override the CExtToolControlBar::OnCreateBarCommandBtn() virtual method and instantiate your own toolbar button objects which implement the CExtBarButton::CalculateLayout() virtual method for reserving additional space.

Never mind, I’ve created a number of blank CExtLabel objects ... unless theres a better way?
