"Change Button Image" icons

I'm having trouble setting the icons for the "Change Button Image" function in the Customize menu for an individual Command Bar Control.



All icons are loaded into an ImageManager control at design-time.  I've tried updating CommandBars.GlobalSettings.Icons and the Icons collections for the individual CommandBar.

Does anyone know where this icon list is located?

Thanks!  I'm definitely on the right track now.

However, the custom icons are not being displayed.  I have 32 icons in my ImageManager and I see 32 blank placeholders now.  I have both 16x16 and 24x24 variants stored for icon in my ImageManager.



I'm calling the RemoveAll method to clear the list first.  Then, I'm calling Options.CustomIcons.AddIcons and passing a reference to the Icons collection of the ImageManager control...

Private Sub CommandBars_Customization(ByVal Options As XtremeCommandBars.ICustomizeOptions)   Options.CustomIcons.RemoveAll   Options.CustomIcons.AddIcons fCommon.ImageManager.Icons End Sub

I initially tried the following code, but receive an "Object doesn't support this property or method" error...

Private Sub CommandBars_Customization(ByVal Options As XtremeCommandBars.ICustomizeOptions)   Set Options.CustomIcons = fCommon.ImageManager.Icons End Sub

Thanks, I've looked at the method in the CommandBarsMDISample.  The LoadBitmap function uses a bitmap in the file system.  However, I'm using a CodeJock ImageManager control to store my icons.

Of course, I could export the icons to a temp folder and use this method.  At this point, I will probably just clear the list and remove this functionality :(

Was that helpful?  Should be no reason to disable the feature from your software

It is just a problem with IDs.  1001 will never work unless you are trying to display 1001 images in the menu.

I simply changed the ID in your sample from 1001 to 32 in the imagemanager and it works fine.

Here is why:

When adding icons, the IconId must start with 1 and increment by 1 for each icon added.  So the IconId will be numbered 1,2,3,4,...N.

The suite provides 42 "built-in" icons that you can choose from and they are automatically displayed in the "Change Button Icon" popup menu if you do not remove them.  If you do not remove the "built-in" icons that are provided with the toolkit then you should start your numbering at 43.  If you start at 1 and you did not remove the "built-in" icons, then you will overwrite some of the "built-in" icons.  So you would number your icons 43,44,45,...N.  So you could even keep some of the "built-in" icons and overwrite the ones you don't need with your own custom icons.

I changed the Id in your sample to 32 because we removed the original 42 icons first, then we added 31 of our own in the single bitmap.

Hope this helps
