Toolbars

Is there a way to create a toolbar with drop down lists similar to the properties toolbar that comes with AutoCAD?

 

You reference existing control windows (the drop down lists in the toolbars) but you can't create new ones by means of AutoCAD's regular menu files (mnu, mns, mnl, etc). It may be possible to create an AutoCAD toolbar with a custom control window with VB, but I've never really looked into how that might work. Perhaps someone over in the VB customization forum could give you a definite answer on that.

 

I saw this done in R14, but not since, and I can't find the link now.
I've contemplated trying to do something similar in objectdcl (it should
be possible to do a modeless, dockable box that approximates a toolbar),
but I haven't had time to try it.
