How attach toolbars to menubar in order to

avoid that they move within a panel ?

You can probably create a non moveable panel and attach toolbars.

I suggest you to look at the toolbar instrument driver that ships with CVI.
You can find an interesting demo in samples\custctrl\toolbar\tooldemo.prj: just run it and look if this instrument can help you save a lot of work.
I suggest you also to look into the toolbox directory: you will find a lot of powerful and useful instruments that will pay you more times the time spent in studying them.
I'm sure all of this will help you

Thank you for your answer, but my problem
comes when in the tooldemo.uir you allow
scroll bars for the panel, then the toolbar
will move when you move the scrollbar.
That is my major problem.

Arno:

A common problem that programmer's have with the LabWindows/CVI Custom Toolbar Control is that, if the panel is set to scale contents on resize, then the toolbar can grow to a huge size when the window is maximized. Commonly a programmer will want this behavior for the controls on this panel, but he'll want his toolbar to keep it's original size, like the menu bars do.

You can achieve this by setting an attribute (TOOLBAR_ATTR_AUTO_SCALING) in the Toolbar Instrument Driver with the Toolbar_SetAttribute() function. Incidentally, there's a number of other attributes, like, TOOLBAR_ATTR_STYLE, TOOLBAR_ATTR_SCALING_FACTOR, TOOLBAR_ATTR_LOCK_TOP_WHEN_SCALING, TOOLBAR_ATTR_LOCK_LEFT_WHEN_SCALING, TOOLBAR_ATTR_MIN_HEIGHT, and TOOLBAR_ATTR_MAX_HEIGHT that you might b
e interested in. You can read about what each of these attributes do by right-clicking on the "Toolbar Attribute" argument in the Toolbar_SetAttribute() function panel.

Good Luck,
