CommandBar inheriting/drawing problems.

[news.microsoft.com]

Hello,

I am currently working on a project which requires me to implement a Command
Bar for Microsoft Word.
The problem i am having is that the default CommandBar has limited
capabilities like the set of controls that can be put on it. My approach was
to inherit from this ComponentBar, which would handle events and draw the
bar completely different than the original CommandBar does. This way all
possible controls could be "faked".

I am starting to get completely freaked out about how to extend that
"dammed" thing.

I know how to write a COM addin which attaches a new CommandBar, but when i
try to create a new COM object which inherites the CommandBar interface i
fail....


Thanks in advance,

Peter Vrenken.
