Hmm, looks very interesting :). I'll probably add it into wxSmith, but I also have to keep few things on my mind:

* I need to conform to XRC file standard and since wxMenuToolBar is not supported in virgin XRC, it will be added as alternative to wxMenuBar, not as a replacement
* Since wxMenuToolBar is not placed inside wxWidgets library, some other library (or few extra source files) will have to be added to project to make it compile (may cause some problems for newbies)
* Currently I have some limited time to work on wxSmith and there's big list of TODOs left on queue, so there may be some delay (or maybe someone want to help with it - I mean contrib widgets ;) )
So honestly speaking, adding extra contrib items like wxMenuToolBar is just a matter of time, without it, wxSmith won't be good enough to compete, but I can't now even estimate the time when it will be added :(. But keep your fingers crossed :) It should be added in future.

Oh, I misunderstood  :oops:. I already thought about such solution, maybe not exactly like wxMenuToolBar but it's code will be really helpful. But to add this, I'll have to make some changes to main framework (so it would support menu, toolbar and statusbar) but I delayed it since it will require some more work to be done.

That I am keep talking about already few months. wxSmith needs in custom components. Some sort of scripts, or rules that will add fully functional component to the tool bar. Say somebody will write a specially organized code, click menue install component and we will have installed component or a set of components in the component palette. The same as it was done in Borlands IDE. What that will give!? That will kill all other projects even commercial.
