You cannot safely use the ActiveX toolbar in VFP. Because it has containership enabled as soon as it is visible a refference to it is stored in ActiveForm property of application object, which may fool your application logic. Moreover it is not easy to store combobox or some other custom control in the ActiveX toolbar. You cannot sucessfully subclass ActiveX controls in VCX (after subclassing many ActiveX internal property values may be "lost").
According to me the VFP toolbar is easier to implement and maintain.
