TCoolBar is a wrapper class for a Windows rebar control, more commonly known as a CoolBar. A CoolBar contains child controls that can be moved and resized independently. Each control resides on an individual band, represented by a TCoolBand object listed in the Bands property. The user positions the controls by dragging the sizing grip to the left of each band. 

If its FixedSize property is true, a CoolBar can contain any kind control. If FixedSize is false, only wrapper controls (instances of TWinControl descendants) can appear on the CoolBar. 

To create a bar that acts as a docking site for tool bars and other controls, use TControlBar instead.
