Win32++ / Discussion / Help: toolbars with individual bitmap buttons

I cannot figure out how to develop a toolbar in Win32++ comprised of individual bitmap buttons that are defined by individual bitmap files, all of the same dimensions, say 24 x 24. I can do it using the WinApi directly, but I can't do it in Win32++. No IDW_MAIN toolbar.bmp is to be used. Any help would be appreciated. I just need to know the CFrame and/or CToolBar functions to use and in what order. I can probably figure out the rest.

My WinApi version is attached, below for reference.

CreateToolBar(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) /*
