One client asked me to add some very visible message in Fusion Invest that permits to warn when the pricing date is not the current date. A good sample of such a message is the native toolbar that is displayed by the application when the simulation mode is selected. The expected result should be the following one:

By the way, the core code of Fusion Invest is still written in MFC/C++. Adding such a toolbar is possible by written some C++ code that uses the MFC classes. The goal of this post is to give the code that permits to activate such a functionality.
