Thanks Oleg!
 
You are right! It works perfectly when compiled.

Hi,
Just tried and it works. You need compile application and run exe to see bitmaps. From IDE resources are not loaded.
 
For png use
IDB_TOOLBAR1     PNG    toolbar1.png

Hi Oleg,
 
I have loaded my PNGs into a .res file as "custom" resources.
The .RC file may look like this:
 
[...]
IDB_TOOLBAR1     PNG    toolbar1.png
IDB_TOOLBAR2     PNG    toolbar2.png
 
I have tried to do something like:
IDB_TOOLBAR1     BITMAP           toolbar1.png
IDB_TOOLBAR2     BITMAP           toolbar2.png
 
but RC complains about the PNG not being valid bitmaps.
 
 
The .RES file is included into my project.
Then I try to load icons into the command bar by using the following call:
 
CommandBars.Icons.LoadBitmapFromResource App.hInstance, IDB_TOOLBAR1, Array(.....), xtpImageNormal
 
(on the final project, App.hInstance should be replaced by a resource only DLL handle)
 
The toolbar gets populated by buttons with text, but "garbage" instead of icons...
 
Where do I fail ?

Hi,
How did you use LoadBitmapFromResource  ?

Hello,

While I am able to load PNGs from a file into a toolbar using the "LoadBitmap" method, I would like to achieve the same result by loading the PNGs at runtime from a resource DLL.
LoadBitmapFromResource did not help me at all...
 
Is there any way of doing this ?
 
Thanks.
S.
