creating rebar control and introduction a band with toolbar into the rebar - windows

Question

I use this code to create a rebar control, and introduction a band with toolbar into the rebar.
But when window is shown up, I can not see the toolbar. and when I check the height of the rebar, in this line of code: int height = wp.rcNormalPosition.bottom - wp.rcNormalPosition.top; I find rebar's height is only 4 pixels.

Answer 1

As follows from the comments, the solution was:
REBARBANDINFO rbBand;
rbBand.cbSize = REBARBANDINFO_V3_SIZE;
// initialize the rest here
This seems to affect older versions of Windows (specifically, XP), because the original code compiles and runs fine on Windows 7.
This was mentioned in the comments to a MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb774393.aspx

Answer 2

As was already stated, the cbSize member of the REBARBANDINFO struct needed to be set.
Note the following about the provided code as well:
The images on the toolbar buttons don't show up. Right after creating the image list you have to make the following call to load the images:
SendMessage(hWndToolbar, TB_LOADIMAGES, (WPARAM)IDB_STD_SMALL_COLOR, (LPARAM)HINST_COMMCTRL);
The TBBUTTON array is declared with a size of 4 but it only gets populated with 3 items. Technically it should be declared as:
TBBUTTON tbb[3]
