I used to use a main button bar that could spawn secondary buttons bars when the
particular button was pressed. To close the secondary button bar I had button
on that bar that executed a "Close".

For example I had a secondary button bar called "XtoolsBar" to close it once I
opened it I used the following line:

*XtoolsBar(Title close,Icon Yarw05rt.xpm,Action Close)

This always worked for me.
