Hi Sandip, I want to paint the background color of the CToolbar. However, I am able to paint only the area which belongs to CToolbar and not the AfxControlBar, which is the parent of CToolbar. (though we have a m_wndToolbar as a member of CMainFrm). I hope you understand the issue. Regards, Paresh.
