I do that by adding and removing items from the existing Tool Bar. I
use CommandBar_AddBitmap; it works for all Windows CE platforms I've
tried, including several variations of Windows Mobile.
I _think_ if you define the variable submenus (the ones you want to
add and remove) separately, you can use submenus defined in resource
files. Something like
POPUP ACTIONS_STRING
BEGIN
MENUITEM TOGGLE_SIP_STRING, IDM_SHOWSIP
END
But I've never tried such a thing.
