Thank you for the reply... I think the problem that I'm having is that I want to show a bunch of different editors on different tabs (some with editors and some with other widgets), but I don't necessarily want the toolbar to be shown at the top of the window; just when a tab with an editor is selected. If it is not possible to attach the toolbar directly to an edit, I suppose I could create/destroy it on the main window instead in my textedit subclass?

I'm trying to learn more about custom controls so I was curious to see if attaching a toolbar to a textedit directly was possible, but I don't have to go that route.
