Questions about Icons

SuperMario wrote: CommandBars.Icons = ImageManager.Icons;

I'm confused: _DCommandBars->GetIcons() returns a pointer to an ImageManagerIcons object. ImageManagerIcons doesn't have an Icons property.

struct __declspec(uuid("1616dc35-b997-432b-ab4f-439341a769e5"))
_DCommandBars : IDispatch
{
    /* snip */    __declspec(property(get=GetIcons,put=PutIcons))
    IImageManagerIconsPtr Icons;
    /* snip */
};
IImageManagerIcons : IDispatch
{
    /* snip */
    HRESULT LoadBitmap (
        _bstr_t Path,
        const _variant_t & Commands,
        enum XTPImageState imageState );
    /* snip */
];

After calling LoadBitmap() on the ImageManagerIcons object, is there another step to adding it back to the CommandBars object?
Thanks for the reply.

Hello,

Using SuitePro ActiveX 12.0.1.

Could someone point me to the area in the documentation that describes how to get icons to appear on toolbar buttons?

I am trying to load the icons from a bitmap and assign them to toolbar buttons like this:

     _bstr_t bstrName ="C:\\Program Files\\Codejock Software\\ActiveX\\SuitePro ActiveX 12.0.1\\Samples\\CommandBars\\C#.NET\\RibbonSample\\res\\LargeIcons.bmp";

     int cmds[18];

     cmds[0] = M_FILE_NEW;
     cmds[1] = 2;
     /* etc */

     IImageManagerIconsPtr pIcons = pCommandBars->GetIcons();

     pIcons->LoadBitmap(bstrName, cmds, xtpImageNormal);


     ICommandBarActionsPtr pActions = pCommandBars->GetActions();

     pControls = pCommandBar->GetControls();

     pAction = pActions->Add(M_FILE_NEW, _bstr_t("&New"), _bstr_t("Create a new document"), _bstr_t("Create a new document"), _bstr_t("File"));
     pAction->IconId = M_FILE_NEW;
     pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");


However, no icons appear on the toolbars.
What am I doing wrong?

I searched the samples for a use of LoadBitmap() or IconId in a .cpp file, but didn't find any.
I tried to follow the use of LoadBitmap() as used in some .cs files, but those uses of LoadBitmap() are for controls other than a CommandBar.

Thanks for any pointers...

UPDATE:
I tried explicitly setting the style:
     pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
     pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
     pControl->PutStyle(xtpButtonIcon);
Still no icon...
