Or you can even insert these objects in a form, make it dockable, make it completely transparent (needs top level) etc. Just limited to your imagination. Just remember that if you use a form, the Deactivate/Activate of your other forms will fire but you can manage that as well using BindEvents to the win messages.

The users do not un-dock the toolbars. They stay fixed where I dock them and people never move them.

I re-classed my toolbar to a Container, and that went pretty well, thanks to the VFP Class Browser Refine feature. So, now I have a container with command buttons in it. So how do I it to my app's runtime environment?

I do not want the toolbar in each form, as it is a common toolbar that is used by all forms. Each form knows the object reference to the CommonToolbar, and sets some properties on it when the form gets focus.

Maybe I should got the Form-as-Toolbar route? I'll take any advice or samples that you have.
