Well, this talks how init menubar programmatically (vs from resource)
on device, but I'd like to find code which creates something close on
desktop windows. I did googling, but nothing good, even found
aygshell.dll mock for HPC devices, but there it still recurses to
wince-only CommandBar.

So, I started to look how to implement it. The simplest case, when
SHCMBF_HMENU is used with SHCreateMenuBar() easy to handle - just
setting that menu for window/dialog. But normal case is more complex.

For reference, here's what on find while thinking how it can be
implemented:

Toolbars don't natively support adding arbitrary controls, here's
technique how:

Though it suggests using a Rebar instead.

Here's an article on creating a menu with toolbar/rebar:
