You shouldn't have to do anything.  The CCommandBarCtrl is supposed 
to act just like a standard menu would act given your system's 
current settings.  Either the menu char is always underlined or its 
underlined when VK_MENU is pressed.

If you want to force menu char underlining always, I believe setting 
m_bUseKeyboardCues to false and calling ShowKeyboardCues(true) will 
do it. This will have to be done after WM_CREATE and after each 
WM_SETTINGCHANGE received by the command bar.
