I have several questions about the custom commandbar I am creating from
vb6. I'm using Excel XP BUT I need to be able to code for any Excel
version. So far I think that's working. Except for some cosmetic issues
....

1) When I make the new commandbar visible, the built-in menu
(File,Edit,...) in Excel disappears.

2) There is an icon on the left of the commandbar that has the Excel
logo. Clicking on it gives options to minimize/restore/close. How can I
hide that? It takes up too much real estate.

3) There are minimize/restore/close buttons on the right side. How can
I hide those? (probably related to #3) I want the close button in the
header of the commandbar and at the moment it is missing?

4) Sometimes, there is a "Type a question for help" box on the right.
How can I make sure that stays away?

5) One of my controls is a popupmenu. Is it possible to display a
little arrow at the right of the button text to indicate that a menu
will appear?

These are all things I have seen on other custom commandbars but I'm
not finding any way to control them.
