Objects are always passed by reference. I'm not even really sure what passing an object by value would look like.

>I need to build an array of toolbars but I would like to keep a copy of the toolbar object in an array instead of a reference to it. There isn't an object copy function, yet.

Interesting. So you'd have two toolbars instead of one? May I ask why you don't want to use the reference? Just curious.

IAC, back to your question. I presume your toolbars are classes. Does it not work for you to simply tell your toolbar "factory" that you want a new toolbar of class "XYZ" and have it create one for you?
