Customize a toolbar in win32

[Ward 0]

Anyone familiar with the TB_CUSTOMIZE message? I'm looking for an example in Win32 C++ code. Thanks in advance, Ward

LRESULT MsgNotify(HWND hwnd, UINT uMessage, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
static UINT i=0;
LPNMHDR lpnmhdr;

lpnmhdr = (LPNMHDR)lparam;

// The following code allows the toolbar to be customized. 
// If you return FALSE the Customize Toolbar dialog flashes
// and goes away.

if (lpnmhdr->code == TBN\_QUERYINSERT || lpnmhdr->code ==
    TBN\_QUERYDELETE)
{
 return TRUE;
}
    
if (lpnmhdr->code == TBN\_GETBUTTONINFO)
{
    LPTBNOTIFY lpTbNotify = (LPTBNOTIFY)lparam;
    char  szBuffer \[20\];
   
	// 20 = total number of buttons.
	// tbButton and tbButtonNew send information about
	// the other 12 buttons in tbButtonNew.
	
    if (lpTbNotify->iItem < 12)    
    {                              
     lpTbNotify->tbButton = tbButtonNew\[lpTbNotify->iItem\];
	 LoadString(hInst,
                4000+ lpTbNotify->iItem,  
                szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer)/sizeof(szBuffer\[0\]));
     hr = StringCchCopy
              (lpTbNotify->pszText, 
                      sizeof(lpTbNotify->pszText)
                      /sizeof(lpTbNotify->pszText\[0\]),
                      szBuffer );
                    if(SUCEEDED(hr))
                      {
                      lpTbNotify->cchText =     
                           sizeof(szBuffer)/sizeof(szBuffer\[0\]);
                      }
                    else
                      {
                      TODO: Write error handler.
                      }
     return TRUE;
    }
 else
    return 0;
}
return 0;

This was what I already found myself on the msdn site. But it is not a very complete example, is it? It is somewhat the only example I was able to find on the Internet. But thanks anyway, Ward

Where is TB_CUSTOMIZE event used or processed here?

This is what i got after doing a brif search in google hope its useful TB_CUSTOMIZE ------------- Display the Customize dialog for a toolbar The standard windows customization dialog for toolbars can be displayed by sending the toolbar the TB_CUSTOMIZE message. SendMessage(hwndToolbar, TB_CUSTOMIZE, 0, 0); You must remember to handle the TBN_QUERYDELETE and TBN_QUERYINSERT notifications, and return non-zero for both of these. Without them, the customize dialog will appear very briefly and then vanish.

Yeah it is complete with the one that I didn't paste. Search in MSDN documentation for the other one. The search is titled "Using toolbar controls". It has got a comprehensive coverage of what you want. I just pasted the interesting(for me) part.

TB_CUSTOMIZE is to be send to the toolbar itself. The toolbar then sends notifications to the sender of TB_CUSTOMIZE. When you properly return data on these notifications, a customize dialog pops up. But this last part is the trickiest. Ward

This I already found by myself. But thanks anyway for doing the trouble to do the search. Ward
