Maybe you need to call ToolBar#realize after you've added all your items?

Or if you are placing the ToolBar within a panel, maybe you need to use 
a Sizer to allocate space for the ToolBar?

If the ToolBar is intended as the main ToolBar for a frame, it can be 
better to call Frame#create_tool_bar or Frame#set_tool_bar. This will 
deal with the sizing, and also ensure that the ToolBar has a native 
style - on OS X, a native toolbar can only be on the top.

You might take a look at the wxToolBar.rb sample in samples/bigdemo/; 
you should find the sampes installed in your gems directory.

If you want further help, please post a short, complete, runnable sample 
with your toolbar code.
