    CToolBar is derived from CControlBar; so you are not going to gain anything
    going to CControlBar unless you do the work yourself. Something which can
    helpyou is the pager control(thats the chevron that you see in some apps).
    Look at codeguru/codeproject to see if something is there regarding this.
