SYMPTOMS
========

When the value of the DOCKED or DOCKPOSITION properties is modified to dock a
toolbar, the toolbar position does not change.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. The DOCKED and DOCKPOSITION properties are
indicators of where a toolbar is located. They are Read Only properties and
modifying their value will not affect the toolbar.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use the DOCK method to dock a toolbar along any border of the main FoxPro
window. The following code demonstrates how to use the DOCK method:

     oToolbar1=CREATEOBJECT('cToolbar')
     oToolbar1.Show
     = Messagebox("Moving the Toolbar")
     oToolbar1.Dock(0)
     = Messagebox( "Top")
     oToolbar1.Dock(1)
     =Messagebox( "Left")
     oToolbar1.Dock(3)
     =Messagebox( "Bottom")
     oToolbar1.Dock(2)
     =Messagebox( "Right")

     DEFINE CLASS cToolbar AS TOOLBAR
       Scalemode = 1
       * Make this a control array
       DIMENSION cmdim(3)
       ADD OBJECT cmdim(1) as CommandButton WITH caption = "One", Left =1
       ADD OBJECT cmdim(2) as CommandButton WITH caption= "Two", Left =10
       ADD OBJECT cmdim(3) as CommandButton WITH caption = "Three",Left= 15
     ENDDEFINE

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
