Steve,
No problem - I still don't know what some of the options do - or are supposed
to do, but I'll document what I can. It's a start at least:)
Cheers,
jez.

Hi Jez,
I'm in the process of adding all the missing documentation in Win32::GUI.
I've documented well over 50 methods that were previously undocumented. If you
find any quirks in the Rebar or would like to document some bits of it for me,
that would be very helpful, since I've never attempted to use it I'm not the
best person to document it.
Steve

Hi,
For those who don't know what a rebar (sometimes called "coolbar") control
is:
It's basically like a tool bar that allows you to create bands where you
can attach other controls or child windows. You can move these bands around.
Rebar controls are used in a lot of applications, such as word processors where
you might have the current style or font in a dropdowns in the "tool bar".
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/rebar/rebar.asp
The rebar control is badly documented in win32::gui, and has various
methods/functions missing and I suspect a couple of bugs - but the control
works quite well. The example below, contains a rebar control with three bands.
Two of the bands contain a child window. Each child window contains several
controls (dropdowns, datetime and buttons). With the Steve's scroll bar example
of a few days ago I have changed the way child windows are created, so they now
act correctly (they do not take focus away from the main window). I assume that
this is the correct approach?
In the next couple of days I'll try and find out what
methods/functions/events are missing, as well as identify any bugs and create
the relevant tracker items. I would be grateful for feed back on this example.
Cheers,
jez.
