There is no "Toolbar resource" thing for WIN32 API.

Toolbar resources are artifacts for MFC classes like CToolbar and the like. It actually consist in a bitmap (contaning the stripe of the images, and having the same ID of the toolbar) and a RT_TOOLBAR (actually MAKEINTRESOURCE(241)) resource type that is a linear vector containing the commands to be mapped to the images. You can read it as such with FindResource / LoadResource.
