     -pos      => [0, 0],
     -size     => [130, 20],

          -onClick => sub {print 'button clicked' },
 );

 my $rebar = $mainwindow->AddRebar(
     -name   => "Rebar",
     -bandborders => 1,
 );

 #Insert band
 $rebar->InsertBand (
   -child     => $band,
   -width     => 210,
   -minwidth  => 210,
   -minheight => 20,
 );

Styles : Each band can have it's own style. As a default, each band has RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_FIXEDBMP

 RBBS_BREAK = 1           The band is on a new line.
 RBBS_FIXEDSIZE = 2       The band can't be sized. With this style, the sizing grip is not displayed on the band.
 RBBS_CHILDEDGE = 4       The band has an edge at the top and bottom of the child window.
 RBBS_HIDDEN = 8          The band will not be visible.
 RBBS_FIXEDBMP = 32       The background bitmap does not move when the band is resized.
 RBBS_VARIABLEHEIGHT = 64 The band can be resized by the rebar control.
 RBBS_GRIPPERALWAYS = 128 The band will always have a sizing grip, even if it is the only band in the rebar.
 RBBS_NOGRIPPER = 256     The band will never have a sizing grip, even if there is more than one band in the rebar.
 RBBS_USECHEVRON = 512    The band will display chevrons if its width is less than the ideal width
