	I'd like to do the same thing actually, replacing a toolbar button image at runtime. Or is this only possible by re-setting the entire toolbar image (used in the creation process?).

	Hi, Now i could be able to set the custom icon at runtime using the following code //to get the handle to a particular button in the toolbar CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars(); CXTPToolBar* pMYTOOLBAR=pCommandBars->GetToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME); int i=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetCount(); CXTPControl* pControl=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetAt(1);//here i am trying to get handle for the second button //To get the handle to the icon IDI_ATOM present in the resources pControl->SetIconId(IDI_ATOM); HICON hIcon; hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_ATOM); pControl->SetCustomIcon(hIcon);//loading the icon onto the control Hope this is clear enough

	Exactly what I needed! ([edit]well, unless using CXTPControlPopupColor, see below...) Thank you for your contribution and help!

	Hmmm, discovered a few issues though: When using this on CXTPControlPopupColor, it doesnt redraw properly if done from the UpdateUI handler (C++). When you move the mouse over it, the icon changes, but drawing is still wrong, as then the displayed color is no longer visible.... I'll thing I'll try to make 2 buttons, only showing the one thats applicable, even though that will make for some odd code and duplicate UI handling . Another option is chaning the overall toolbar's bitmap - if that can be changed runtime, but that has the disadvantage of duplicating the bitmap, SetCustomIcon sounds nice, but in this case not a solution, unless I'm doing something wrong?

	Don't use SetCustomIcon for this porpose. Add icon to ImageManager: pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(...);
