	Hi, Something like this: System.Drawing.Icon icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); CommandBars.Icons.AddIcon(icon.Handle.ToInt32(), ID.ID_APP_ABOUT, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal);

	Is there anyway of doing this with an Image? I noticed that it is not possible to get a handle or pointer to an image loaded via the resource file. It would be great if this were possible.

	Hi, Convert this Image to Bitmap and use Addbitmap method. What code you use to load Image?

	Hi, Something like this... <code> ImageList myImages = new ImageList(this.components); myImages.Images.Add(global::UITest1.MainClass.Image1); myImages.Images.Add(global::UITest1.MainClass.Image2); myImages.Images.Add(global::UITest1.MainClass.Image3); </code> This ImageList is used in other parts of the UI. Ideally, I would like minimal disruption to the code and so would like to load the images from this imagelist into the ImageManager so that the CodeJock UI can be updated indepentandly of the other section. At present, my solution has been to load the images into ImageManager at design time (thereby creating two objects with the same images: ImageList and ImageManager). It is also not possible to use the ImageManager as the primary source of images as the other section does not reference the CodeJock libraries and I would like to keep it that way. I hope that this is clear to you! Any help would be appreciated.

	Dim x As Bitmap x = My.Resources.myIcon frmMain.ImageManager.Icons.AddBitmap(CInt(x.GetHbitmap), 25, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal, True) 'where myIcon is the icon and 25 is the ID used in my Imagemanager
