That worked, thanks!

You may want to document that method, I couldn't find it in the docs anywhere.]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2005 16:46:12 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5827&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5827 <![CDATA[Loading icons other than BMP at runtime? : LoadPicture.Handle retrieve HBITMAP...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5805&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5805 Author: Oleg

LoadPicture.Handle retrieve HBITMAP not HICON.

try CommandBars.Icons.AddBitmap instead.

OK that nearly worked, but the VBALImageList doesn't support loading images that are different dimensions to the one defined internally.

Guess I'll have to submit this as a support request...]]> Fri, 18 Mar 2005 00:54:08 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5795&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5795 <![CDATA[Loading icons other than BMP at runtime? : I thought about using something...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5769&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5769 Author: Spyder

I thought about using something like that, but I'd rather not add that much code just for this.

Maybe I can extract just the load picture code, hrmm. It doesn't help that the AddIcon() method documentation does not specify how to specify an image handle...]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2005 19:05:57 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5769&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5769 <![CDATA[Loading icons other than BMP at runtime? : Try this: http://www.vbaccel...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5768&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5768 Author: robs

Try this:

I use it for icons w command bar. Works good.

I think I've tried gif and it worked. Can't remember.

good luck

I need to load files that could be gif, jpg or bmp at runtime as toolbar icons.

The AddIcon() method claims to take a handle to an icon, but this doesn't work (VB6):

Call CommandBars.Icons.AddIcon(LoadPicture("path\to\image.gif").H andle, newBtn.id, xtpImageNormal)


Anyone had luck loading a picture that isn't a BMP?]]> Mon, 14 Mar 2005 19:05:23 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1966&PID=5730&title=loading-icons-other-than-bmp-at-runtime#5730
