Hi;

I maintain two bitmaps, one for the VC6 resource editor to load the toolbar with only 256 colors and the final one loaded at runtime with hires colors.

If you don't like to add this additional 'step', you can edit your toolbar resource by opening the .rc file as plain text file (open as...).

Nice, but I can't edit the toolbar properties or add a new button because the MFC can't load it at all.]]> Sun, 30 Mar 2008 01:23:14 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9995&PID=32808&title=using-vc6-resource-editor#32808 <![CDATA[using VC6 resource editor : avi_a wrote:How can I edit...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9995&PID=32789&title=using-vc6-resource-editor#32789 Author: Simon HB9DRV

The VC6 posts an error message and does not open the toolbars.

Thanks for your help.

I use paint. The Toolbar's properties show the bitmap name, I usually create a new bitmap with a more sensible name and edit with Paint, save as 24-bit bitmap.

An alternative is to use XTPImageManager()->SetIcons() and provide alternate high-res bitmaps.
