Floating toolbars

I am creating an application in C# wherein I require to add a toolbar.
that is no problem and that is done as well.
What I need now is that the toolbar that i insert should be a floating
toolbar e.g. any toolbar in Office application is a floating toolbar . One
can drag them anywhere and also fix it on the top.
How do I get my toolbar to be a floating one

One thing more, i want that my toolbars,menus, buttons all should have a Win
Xp Look and feel even if the application is running on win 2000 . Is that
posiible, i think it is but i do not know how? kindly Help

thanks in advance for ur replies

Hi,

You can checkout third party components like DotNetbar which have all the
features that you have requested.

I want to have toolbars that behave similar to those in Microsoft Word. I am using toolstrips and toolstripcontainers. How do I get them to allow the user to pull the toolstrip off the window edge and become a free floating window? Do I need to do this myself and, if so, what event should trigger this?

I have an application that is not an mdi but rather made up of multiple sdi forms. I am trying to keep a single set of menus and toobars that change contents depending on the form that has focus. The user has the option to float the dockable windows. When the floating window has focus and they attempt to use the menus or toolbars the focus moves back to the main window and the menu's switch to whichever form got focus.

Does the toolstripcontainer/toolstrip allow for automatically handling conversion to a toolbar? i.e., I have a toolstripcontainer that contains a few toolstrips and I would like the ability for the user to be able to convert, by draging the toolstrip off the toolstripcontainer, to a toolbar. i.e., exactly like VS.NET2k5 allows(and many other apps) where you can drag the grip of the toolstrip to the client area and it will create a...

So, I tried to copy a toolbar. I have a custom menu bar for a form. Tried to copy it so that I could modify the copy and use it with another form. With no direct way to copy it, I made a copy of the MDB, renamed the toolbar, and then imported it back into the original MDB as a copy of the original (see "Copying a custom menu bar" thread here). Everything seemed fine until I tried to modify the copy. When I added or removed items from the...
