How to get a context menu of toolbar by right-clicking on it? Like in OperaAC toolbars, for example.

Well there are at least 3 ways:
1: If you want to activate the context menu with right-button down in the empty area of the Bar, just override ChildFrameEvent() method BUT don't use "child" pointer, instead use child->GetParent();

2: Better Way: If you want to activate context menu even when the tool buttons are pressed with the rigth buttons (or if you want to assign different context menus to tool buttons, use:

void BarContext::ChildMouseEvent(Ctrl *child, int event, Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags)
{
	if(toolbar.HasChildDeep(child)) // Effects tool buttons too... (just specify which button, then you'll get different menus for each button)
	{
		if(event == RIGHTDOWN) MenuBar::Execute(THISBACK(SetMenuBar));
	}
	TopWindow::ChildMouseEvent(child, event, p, zdelta, keyflags);
}

3: Derive your class from ToolBar, then override ChildMouseEvent (imho, unnecessary)

Here is the example.

Your method did not work for toolbutton!
