 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 .

Bob!

You want to create an AppBar. Check the sample AppBar (Q134206) on how to do
this.
