Just wondering why do you need that What's your scenario mv, The desktop .NET framework has a static function, System.Windows.Forms.Control.FromHandle() that behaves similarly to the MFC api (I'm not 100% sure you weren't referring to this desktop .NET api in your original message).

• Steve from adzac CCommandBar: yet another problem

  Hello, I developed MFC dialog-based application with eVC 4.0. Now I'm trying to make it work on MSVS 2005 beta 2. I replaced CCeCommandBar with CCommandBar, but its functionality not the same.

But I need my toolbar to be on the left... so help me please :-) I have the same problem. Can somebody help me, please ...Show All
