How to create rebar control in Vista   

Hi,

I used the following code to create rebar, and it works well in Win2k3
SP2. But in Vista, I cannot see it.

VOID InitRebar(HWND hWnd){
	LRESULT lr;
	HWND hwndRB;
	REBARINFO rbi;
	REBARBANDINFO rbBand;
	HANDLE hImg;
	HWND hwndImg;

	// create rebar window
	hwndRB = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,
		REBARCLASSNAME, _T(""),
		WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | RBS_AUTOSIZE,
		0,0, 0, 0,
		hWnd,(HMENU)IDC_MAINREBAR, hInst, NULL);

	rbi.cbSize = sizeof(REBARINFO);
	rbi.fMask = 0;
	rbi.himl = (HIMAGELIST)NULL;
	lr = SendMessage(hwndRB, RB_SETBARINFO, 0, (LPARAM)&rbi);

	// insert a img
	// load the img
	hImg = LoadImage(hInst,
		_T("D:\\share\\WindowsApplication1\\DialogTesting\\icon1.ico,0"),
		IMAGE_ICON,
		0, 0,
		LR_LOADFROMFILE);

	hwndImg = CreateWindow(_T("STATIC"),
		NULL,
		WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_ICON | SS_REALSIZEIMAGE | SS_NOTIFY,
		0, 0, 0, 0,
		hwndRB,
		(HMENU)IDC_STATICICON,
		hInst,
		NULL);

	// set static control image
	SendMessage(hwndImg, STM_SETICON, (WPARAM)hImg, NULL);

	rbBand.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO);
	rbBand.fMask = RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_CHILDSIZE | RBBIM_CHILD |
RBBIM_SIZE;
	rbBand.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_NOGRIPPER;
	//rbBand.lpText = _T("ico");
	rbBand.hwndChild = hwndImg;
	rbBand.cxMinChild = 0;
	rbBand.cyMinChild = 20;
	rbBand.cx = 20;

	// insert the img into the rebar
	SendMessage(hwndRB, RB_INSERTBAND, (WPARAM)-1, (LPARAM)&rbBand);

	// insert a blank band
	rbBand.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO);
	rbBand.fMask =  RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_SIZE;
	rbBand.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_HIDETITLE | RBBS_NOGRIPPER;

	rbBand.cx = 1;

	// insert the blank band into the rebar
	SendMessage(hwndRB, RB_INSERTBAND, (WPARAM)-1, (LPARAM)&rbBand);
}

Please help me fix it. Thanks.

Have you called InitCommonControls()? (or InitCommonControlsEx() including 
ICC_COOL_CLASSES in the dwICC field of the INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX structure).

Either this became mandatory in Vista or you don't need to do it at all, I 
can't remember which.
