I had checked it already, It does not solve my problem. I need a dockable and undockable toolbar just as the one in VB IDE
You can start by simply adding a new form as a toolbar, and make it non-modal.

To make it docked, you need to detect movement and make it go along for the ride.
I think you can use the Activebar,it's perfect!Or you can write a ocx in VC++,then use it in VB
search for float in this page

The floating toolbar sample provided at the link (http://www.softcircuits.com/sw_vbsrc.htm) is not dockable?? Also this (form) ? cannot be made a child of an MDI
