How add vertical line separators to toolbars with flat buttons?

[Simon]

I use Visual C++ 6.0 and MFC. I have just added a manifest to my
application to get XP-styles. The relevant part of the manifest looks like
this:

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>

This works and makes my dialog boxes look much better with XP-style buttons
and other controls. But my toolbars look worse. All my toolbars now have
flat buttons on them. The problem with this is that I think that now they
are flat they need little vertical lines to separate groups of buttons from
one another (the equivalent of menu separators). I see that other
applications have these, but I can't work out how to get my toolbars to have
them. The MFC CToolbar SetButtonStyle lets you specify a separator, but you
just get a space - not a vertical line. I have tried using CodeJock
toolbars but can't get on with them (I haven't been able to find the
documentation I need to use them).

Can anyone suggest how I can add little vertical line separators to
toolbars? (or revert to 3D buttons on the toolbar while still keeping the
new controls on the dialogs)

All help much appreciated.

I think I've found the answer to my own question. You need to use
CToolBar::CreateEx and there are various styles there which give vertical
bar separators.
