I am looking to implement floating toolbars, ie those that can be
dragged from a coolbar/rebar into a floating toolwindow. I can not work
out how to detect when the mouse has left the coolbar so as to pop up
the toolwindow. I would also like help with working out which band is
being draged so I can put the correct toolbar on the toolwindow.

Thanks

Perhaps setting a timer and with the APIs GetCursorPos and WindowFromPoint

I know this Rebar from Vbaccelerator:
http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Controls/Toolbar/vbAccelerator_ToolBar_and_CoolMenu_Control/article.asp
But I don't remember if it supports band dragging.

I just tried using Karls CHookMouseEvents, which is based on
TrackMouseEvents and windows doesn't seem to be sending me the correct
messages. Is the vb CoolBar somehoe strange in that regard?
