Preventing floating of a toolbar

Environment: Visual C++ 4.2b  Windows NT 4.0

I have a toolbar which I programatically dock on the right side of a =
CMDChildWnd by doing the following in OnCreateClient

  EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT);
  // add the toolbar
  m_wndActionBar.Create(this);
  m_wndActionBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_ACTIONBAR);
  m_wndActionBar.SetBarStyle(...);
  m_wndActionBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT);
  DockControlBar(&m_wndActionBar,AFX_IDW_DOCKBAR_RIGHT);

I'm probably missing something simple but I can't figure out how to =
prevent someone from floating this toolbar. I want it to always remain =
docked.

Brian, maybe a solution in mfc-l(7856) I copied the important part.

Try setting the bar style to dock on the right and leave out the
EnableDocking() call, that should solve it.

Like this:

m_wndActionBar.Create(this);
m_wndActionBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_ACTIONBAR);
m_wndActionBar.SetBarStyle(CBRS_ALIGN_RIGHT | ... );

	This is really easy actually.  Although I have only been using MFC for
about
a week now (and finding it really easy after having done a couple of years
of
SDK coding), I think this will work.  Don't enable docking. :)  You might
also want to
try using CBRS_SIZE_FIXED in the toolbar setting, but if you don't enable
docking, I
don't think that this is needed either.  Some code that I am using at the
moment
looks like this....

    //
    // Create Play/Pause Toolbar
    //
    m_toolbar.Create( this,
                      WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_BOTTOM |
                      CBRS_SIZE_FIXED | CBRS_FLYBY );

    m_toolbar.LoadToolBar( IDR_TOOLBAR1 );

	
	Where IDR_TOOLBAR1 is a toolbar resource.  It also gives me the funky
flyby status bar messages (if you setup the statusbar correctly).  
I think if you actually use the Wizard things in VC++ (I cannot stand the
code they 
output, plus it breaks with my company's internal coding standards), some
of those 
window styles are default.  This code will create a toolbar at the bottom
of "this" 
that cannot be torn off from "this".

	Hope this helps...
