Making a toolbar-like application
Is it possible to create an application whose window behaves like that
of the Microsoft Office toolbar? I mean:
-- It can be 'docked' along the margin, or brought into the center as a
rectangular window.
-- There is a 'Properties' window that can set Auto-Hide, Always on Top,
etc.
-- The buttons shown, or their labels, will adapt to the current size of
the window.
-- The buttons can be ActiveX controls imported from a third-party
toolkit.
I'm quite new to Windows GUI programming. Any suggestions as to where
this is covered in the MSDN documentation would be welcome. The system
is NT 4.0 .
