Rebar
This control enables you to create a rebar control. This control acts as a container for other controls. The rebar control is consisted of bands that host an icon, text and a child control.

Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a Rebar control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls.
borders Borders appear between rebar bands.
bottom The rebar is auto-positioned at bottom of dialog window.
dblclktoggle Double click on band text toggles min/max resizing of the band. (Single click is default)
fixedorder Bands are always in the same order but can be dragged on different lines/columns.
noparentalign The rebar isnt auto-positioned when dialogs size changes.
noresize The rebar isnt auto-resized when dialogs size changes.
right The rebar is auto-positioned to the right side of the dialog (must be used with vertical style).
tooltips The rebar bands have tooltips.
varheight The rebar control displays bands at the minimum required height, when possible. Without this style, the rebar control displays all bands at the same height, using the height of the tallest visible band to determine the height of other bands. Even if this style is applied, bands on the same row will display the height of the highest band on that row.
vertical The rebar is auto-positioned to the left side of the dialog (gives a vertical rebar).
verticalgrip The size grip will be displayed vertically instead of horizontally in a vertical rebar control. (must be used with vertical)

/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.
