Which version of C# and/or Visual Studio are you using.Are we talking WinForms or Web/ASP.NET?For WinForms from Version 2.0 onward the Toolbar has been replaced by the ToolStrip which most definitely has a RightToLeft property.

There are several problems in your code but the error you are reporting is caused by the fact that you create a new button and then try to use it's Tag property which is null. (a new button doesn't have anything assigned to it's tag).void b_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ ...

When you create the toolbar use CToolBar::CreateEx[^] and supply a rectangle as the fourth parameter. With a little calculating using the size of your frame window, you will get it right.
