Thx all for answare, the solution for me should be to call the
SetCheck() in the OnInitDialog and set the first button on the toolbar
checked but I can't find the right way to do this. Can you take a look
at my code please? I created the toolbar in this way:

BOOL CSetupMgrDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
......
......
   // Toolbar Left
    if (!m_leftToolbar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE
| CBRS_LEFT
        | CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC)
        || !m_leftToolbar.LoadToolBar(IDR_LEFTTOOLBAR))
    {
        TRACE0(_T("Failed to create toolbar\n"));
        return -1; // fail to create
    }
    m_leftToolbar.SetBarStyle(m_leftToolbar.GetBarStyle() |
        CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC);
    m_leftToolbar.SetToolBarInfoForCustomization();
    m_leftToolbar.RestoreState();
    m_leftToolbar.MarkDefaultState();
    curPos = GetCurrentPosition( LEFTTABBAR);
    m_leftToolbar.SetWindowPos( &CWnd::wndNoTopMost, curPos.left,
curPos.top, curPos.Width(), curPos.Height(), SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
    RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);
    m_leftToolbar.ShowWindow( SW_SHOW);
    InitToolBar( LEFTBAR);
........
.......
}

void CSetupMgrDlg::InitToolBar( int whatBar)
{
   switch( whatBar)
    {
        ....................
        ....................
        case LEFTBAR:
                {
                  int index;
            UINT style;
            index = 0;
            while( m_leftToolbar.GetItemID(index) != ID_PLACEHOLDER40) index++;
            style = m_leftToolbar.GetButtonStyle( index);
            style |= BTNS_CHECKGROUP;
            m_leftToolbar.SetButtonStyle( index, style);
            index = 0;
            while( m_leftToolbar.GetItemID(index) != ID_PLACEHOLDER41) index++;
            style = m_leftToolbar.GetButtonStyle( index);
            style |= BTNS_CHECKGROUP;
            m_leftToolbar.SetButtonStyle( index, style);
                 }
              break;
        ...................
        ...................
        }
}

How can I get the control of a button on the m_leftToolbar? I tryed
some ways with not success.
Thanks
