Create a Coolbar (like MS Office 97) from a normal VB toolbar.
It's not necessary to subclass the form or something like that, just a few lines of code, and that's it.

Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

This is a great. In order to make it work with the Common Control 6.0 you need to change the Toolbar20wndclass String to msvb_lib_toolbar. Thanks Again for the submission. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I would have never figured that out without your help. Thanks for the cool code; it helps more than you imagine. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
i have a comment and a question, first this is not a coolbar, and second if u wanted 2 do this u could just dl the micro$oft windows common control v6.0 SP3, y don't u? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thanks so much - I was trying everything I could think of to get something like this, but I gave up on everything. (Coolbars, vbAccellerator controls...) By chance I found your code and was able to take most of it and create my program. So once again, thank you very much.
This code makes coolbars 10x easier in VB than any other method. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
