i guess you forgot to make it visible: VERIFY( m_toolbar.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | CCS_NORESIZE | TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS, CRect(XX, XX, XX, XX), this, AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR) );

i've used m_ToolBar.CreateEx(this,TBSTYLE_FLAT,WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_ALIGN_TOP, CRect(10,10,100,100), AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR); m_ToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1); m_ToolBar.ShowWindow(TRUE); but toolbar is invisible

i've tested it. it works in my dialog. CListCtrl m_toolbar; m_toolbar.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CCS_NOPARENTALIGN | CCS_NORESIZE | TBSTYLE_FLAT | TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS, CRect(0, 0, 100, 100), this, AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR); check if maybe sth in your program is on conflict with some of the styles.

You used CToolBar or CToolBarCtrl? In dialogs, you should use CToolBarCtrl. CToolBar is useful only in frame windows (only frame windows support docking) Robert-Antonio "Love without sex is like a fish without antlers"
