If You like to use ReBar's and self made status bar I can post You code (post Your email).

Meir Rivkin

create your own CToolBar derive class and add this code to OnInitDialog():
//IDR_MY_TOOLBAR-> your resource toolbar ID
//u associate your toolbar with the resource ID

cMyToolBar.Create(this);
cMyToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MY_TOOLBAR);
cMyToolBar.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
cMyToolBar.SetBarStyle(CBRS_ALIGN_TOP | CBRS_BORDER_TOP | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY);
RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);

in your toolbar class add this function:
LRESULT OnIdleUpdateCmdUI(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp);

LRESULT CMyToolBar::OnIdleUpdateCmdUI(WPARAM wp, LPARAM lp)
{
if (IsWindowVisible()) {
CFrameWnd* pParent = (CFrameWnd*)GetParent();
if(pParent)
OnUpdateCmdUI(pParent, (BOOL)wp);
}
return 0L;
}

this function is passing the UPDATE_COMMAND_UI to the dialog in order to handle the toolbar's buttons
