MFC Classes for MSIE3.0 style toolbars

Environment : MSVC 4.2b + Win95
Hello All,
I've been unable to find anything on the toolbar
style in Internet Explorer 3.0 and Office 97 (Horizontal
resize with BMP backgrounds). I've looked on the WEB
and in MSDN with no luck.
I'm suprised that this would not be a popular MFC
class by now. Does anyone know of any MFC source
that does this or has anyone tried making some
similiar classes? If not, I was thinking of attempting
to write the classes myself.
Any thoughts?

This toolbar type is known as a "CoolBar" and is part of the next
generation of common controls. It supposedly will be officially released as
part of IE 4.0, whenever and whatever that turns out to be. As of today the
CoolBar (and the other nifty new controls) are "not officially released and
distributable."
The above quote appears in the Oct. '96 issue of MSJ in an article by
Strohm Armstrong, "Previewing the New and Improved Common Controls DLL for
Microsoft IE 4.0"

They utilize the new COMCTL32.DLL, which has new styles and messages for
the toolbar class. They have not yet been documented by Microsoft, and not
yet supported in MFC. The answer is, RSN.

_VERY_ generally speaking, the Office guys end up pushing the UI
design envelope at Microsoft faster than other groups do. They
have the best base of "common" users to try for usability testing,
so lots of application-level stuff actually comes from them.
You'll probably see this code trickle down to MFC in a couple of
releases. It doesn't happen much faster than that simply because
we don't have the people to do it.

Scott,
Take a look at this URL : =
http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev/ui/rebar.htm. An article by Nancy =
Cluts titled"Rebar: It Isn't Just For Concrete Anymore". MFC to my =
knowledge does not support Rebar (MS is calling the Explorer Toolbar) =
yet. But I am sure MS and the MFC team will probably add some classes in =
for an Explorer Like toolbar in version 5.0, but I am guessing. They =
have always been very developer conscious and I am sure that some of the =
Microsofties that browse this list will see there is a demand for it. =
You might want to try an extension class for yourself. The above article =
shows how this is supported in WIN32. Anyway I hope this helps.

Hello All,
I've been unable to find anything on the toolbar
style in Internet Explorer 3.0 and Office 97 (Horizontal=20
resize with BMP backgrounds). I've looked on the WEB=20
and in MSDN with no luck.
I'm suprised that this would not be a popular MFC
class by now. Does anyone know of any MFC source
that does this or has anyone tried making some
similiar classes? If not, I was thinking of attempting
to write the classes myself.
Any thoughts?

Take a look to www.microsoft.com/win32drv/ui/rebar.htm
You can also visit www.periphere.com. They provide usefull MFC classes, in which
you will find what you search for.

Go take a look in
http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev
there is an article named: "Rebar: It Isn't just for concrete anymore"
that explain how to make a toolbar (or coolbar) like the IE3.0.
As stated in the article, you will need MSVC4.2 and the ActiveX SDK
for IE3.0
