Control Bar Classes

MFC for Windows CE supports the control bar classes the same way as standard MFC does, except that it does not support all the methods of the CStatusBarCtrl, CToolBarCtrl, and CRebarCtrl classes.

The CCeCommandBar class is unique to MFC for Windows CE. It contains methods you can use to create and manipulate command bars. A command bar is a common control, unique to Windows CE, that combines the functionality of a menu bar and a toolbar. It contains the standard Close button and, optionally, the Help(?) and OK buttons in the upper right corner. Using a command bar conserves screen space, which is important on devices with smaller displays.
