Hiding the Default Toolbar
By default, the initial view contains a toolbar, as shown below:

To hide this toolbar, open MainFrm.cpp and just comment out lines 6 to 11 and lines 21 to 23 so that unnecessary instances won't be created.
int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
if (CFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
//if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
// !m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))
//{
// TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
// return -1; // fail to create
//}
if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators, sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT));
// TODO: Delete these three lines if you don't want the toolbar to be dockable
//m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
//EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
//DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);
return 0;
}
After applying this code, the initial view will look like this:
