Toolbar icons disappear after SetID() : You need to associate an icon...

You need to associate an icon with the ID with the command bars image manager:

    CXTPCommandBars *pBars = theApp.m_pMainFrame->GetCommandBars(); // get the pointer to command bars
    CXTPImageManager* pImageMgr = pBars->GetImageManager();
    HICON hIcon = getIcon();
    pImageMgr->SetIcon(hIcon, getID());
    ::DestroyIcon(hIcon);

In my case getIcon() returns the icon handle for the current instance of the command and getID() returns the ID of the command, substitute your own code. Image manager makes a copy of the icon so you will need to destroy the icon after the call to SetIcon.

Toolbar icons disappear after SetID() : I'm currently evaluating...

I'm currently evaluating XTToolkit Pro.

I'm trying to implement a toolbar with icons and text. Just simple buttons.

It all works fine until I assign a command id to a button so that it will actually do something. When I do that, it no longer shows the icon, just the text!

Here's my code (in CMainFrame::OnCreate())


// Create PC-BaX ToolBar
CXTPToolBar* pToolBar = (CXTPToolBar*)
pCommandBars->Add(_T("PC-BaX Tools"), xtpBarTop);if ( !pToolBar )
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1;
}
// Load the toolbar
if ( !pToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR) )
{
TRACE0("Failed to load toolbar\n");
return -1;
}
pToolBar->ShowTextBelowIcons() ;
CXTPControl *pControl ;
pControl = pToolBar->GetControl ( 0 ) ;
pControl->SetID ( ID_ACTION_EXECUTIVE ) ; // <-- This stops the icon from being displayed but is the only way I know to assign an action to a button.
pControl->SetCaption ( IDS_EXECUTIVE ) ;
pControl->SetFlags ( pControl->GetFlags() | xtpFlagManualUpdate ) ;
pControl->SetStyle ( xtpButtonIconAndCaption ) ;
pControl->SetEnabled ( TRUE ) ;
/*...*/
// Set Office 2003 Theme
CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2003);

Any suggestions?

Ps, how do you change the paragraph settings when posting? I seem to have large spaces between my lines.
