Not that I know of (and I looked hard). I ran into this very problem on an application that used a touch screen. It turns out the builtin scrollbar didn't resize in a way that was appropriate for the touch screen, so I ended up building my own. I could have used the so-called 'flat scrollbars' provided by some versions of Internet Explorer, but they're not a good idea (they're no longer supported under IE6+). Software Zen: delete this;

If your derived class cannot see it, then it is private, not protected, or it is exposed through some other inheritance mechanism that you've not addressed. look at the source code, it's on your hard drive.

VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

My Window is a CMiniFrameWnd, and i added this, so i don't get anything to be shown, what's wrong?

Not To the toolbar, i only want to get the icons from the toolbar to draw it to my menu, a bitmapped fakemenu.

Post some code please. Nish The posting stats are now in PDF:- http://www.busterboy.org/codeproject/ Feel free to make your comments. Updated - May 04th, Saturday

Based on your reply to PJ Arends response, the styles of your window are not the problem. I responded to the other thread, I hope that helps you. Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

In VC++ 7, i'm only having this problem under VC++ 7.

VS.Net messed up one of my projects. It was a library with a dozen build permutations (MFC, non-MFC, MFC DLL, Unicode, ...) and several test programs, most of which dealt with only a subset of the permutations. The VS.Net project ignored all the dependencies I had set and insisted on building some sort of every project for every permutation of the base library. Having said that, the permutations that were "aligned" build fine (except for some code derived from CString which broke--I kept VS.Net on my machine long enough to fix that code (just because) and then uninstalled it.)
