Enhanced ToolBar

Is there any chance that the ToolBar gadget can be enhanced to allow other gadgets to be placed on the toolbar besides buttons and separators? As an example look at any WebBrowser. They usually allow comboboxes, edit controls, etc. This would be a nice feature.

Have a look at ToolBarPro, it is part of the PBOSL.

Or nxToolbar which is a conversion of ToolBarPro to Purebasic source but is threadsafe and Unicode compliant.

Just search the forums.

There is also Eddy's ToolbarPlus :

Just place the gadgets directly on the window and place the toolbar buttons in a toolbar inside a container gadget to get them beside the other gadgets.

This appears to be Windows only.

I'm not sure about ToolBarPlus, but it also seems to be Windows also.

This seems to be a plausible solution... I'll try it out.

Thanks to all...

For anyone who may be curious about this... it works on Windows, but not on Linux. On Linux the ToolBar automatically takes the top portion of the window (below the menu... if any) and covers the entire width. A Container seems to have no effect on it at all.
