I use this code to create a rebar control, and introduction a band with toolbar into the rebar.
But when window is shown up, I can not see the toolbar. and when I check the height of the rebar, in this line of code: int height = wp.rcNormalPosition.bottom - wp.rcNormalPosition.top;
I find rebar's height is only 4 pixels.

As follows from the comments, the solution was:
REBARBANDINFO rbBand;
rbBand.cbSize = REBARBANDINFO_V3_SIZE;
// initialize the rest here
This seems to affect older versions of Windows (specifically, XP), because the original code compiles and runs fine on Windows 7.
