Creating New Toolbars

To create a new toolbar

1. In Resource view, right-click your .rc file, then choose Add Resource from the shortcut menu. (If you have an existing toolbar in your .rc file, you can simply right-click the Toolbar folder and select Insert Toolbar from the shortcut menu.)

   Note   If your project doesn't already contain an .rc file, please see Creating a New Resource Script File.

2. In the Add Resource dialog box, select Toolbar in the Resource Type list, then click New.

   If a plus sign (+) appears next to the Toolbar resource type, it means that toolbar templates are available. Click the plus sign to expand the list of templates, select a template, and click New.

3. Convert an existing bitmap to a toolbar.
