It already exists in XaAES (well, it did in v0.963 ;-) and N_AES

It is called WF_TOOLBAR
usage: wind_set(handle, WF_TOOLBAR, &tree)

In XaAES there were no restrictions on the content of the tree.
(in N_AES: only buttons)

There is a event message associated with WF_TOOLBAR:
WM_TOOLBAR
You get a WM_TOOLBAR message if you cause a exit condition on
the "toolbarred" window.

The program "dialtest" that accompanied my distributions
used this feature with success.
A fine example of a dialogue in a window.

Because the contents of such a window are known to the AES,
all redrawing is automatically done, just like a widget.
