Hi,

I am trying to change an image icon to a CXTPControl in the command bars but instead I get blank image. The code I use is that is shown below :

CXTPControl *m_pAttachmentControl;

...............

m_pAttachmentControl = pGroup->Add(xtpControlButton, IDS_BUTTON_ATTACHMENT);

m_pAttachmentControl->SetStyle(xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow);

..................

if (CheckIfExistFileProjects()) {

m_pAttachmentControl->SetIconId(IDB_PNG_ATTACHMENT_FULL);

m_pAttachmentControl->RedrawParent();

} else {

m_pAttachmentControl->SetIconId(IDB_PNG_ATTACHMENT_EMPTY);

m_pAttachmentControl->RedrawParent();

}

What seems to be the problem in my code ?

Ok,

What did I find. I found that

XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(........) converts PNG or BMP files to Icons

BUT

XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(....) and PControl->SetIconId expects exclusively ICONS without the option to convert other formats (like png or bmp) to Icons.

So if you try to use XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(....) with PNG your get Blank Dreams !

Any recommendations ?
