Toolbars can be docked to forms too, but ShowWindow property must be set to 2
Add a custom property to the form, ToolbarRef with .null. value
Here is some sample code to dock toolbar to form (in Activate event of form) :

IF  ISNULL(this.toolbarref)
	this.ToolbarRef=CREATEOBJECT('MyToolbar')
	this.ToolbarRef.Dock(0)
	this.ToolbarRef.visible = .t.
ENDIF
