You need to use CMFCToolbar::ReplaceButton.

You replace the regular button with either one of the default CMFCToolBarButton derived classed or with one of your own derived class.

The toolbar need to have a "placeholder" button (empty button) at the position you want to replace the button.

for example to replace a toolbar button with a combo box: 

CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton myCombo(IDC_BUTTON_TO_REPLACE, GetCmdMgr()->GetCmdImage(IDC_BUTTON_TO_REPLACE, FALSE), CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, 80);
myCombo.m_strText.LoadString(IDS_MY_STRING);
myToolbar.ReplaceButton(IDC_BUTTON_TO_REPLACE, myCombo);

There are a couple of standard "buttons" available (in particular): CMFCToolBarEditBoxButton to replace a toolbar button with an edit box. CMFCToolBarDateTimeCtrlImpl to replace a toolbar button with a date picker CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton to replace a toolbar button with a combo box.

(there are a couple more for menus and one for "outlook" ).

Good luck.
