Toolbar icons do not appear!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In my CMainFrame-window I have multiple toolbars. They look OK.
Note that in this project CFrameWnd-windows are used frequently, but without associated document templates (and frames).

I have a CXTPFrameWnd-derived window, CMyFrame, as a member in one of the views (don't blame me ;). These calls are done in CMyFrame::OnCreate():

InitCommandBars();
CXTPToolBar *pToolbar = (CXTPToolBar*)GetCommandBars()->Add("My tool", xtpBarTop);
pToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOL);
XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(IDR_TOOL, IDB_TOOL;

The problem is that the icons from IDB_TOOL are not shown! What could be the reason for this? Please help me out on this one.

	Hi, What do you have in resources for IDR_TOOL and IDB_TOOL ? Check How many icons you have in IDR_TOOL and what size of IDB_TOOL bitmap.

	It turned out that IDR_TOOL had a bitmap resource with no icons. Still, I think this is weird: IDR_TOOL points to "tool.bmp" (contains a gray bitmap) IDB_TOOL points to "tool_hicolor.bmp" (contains the icons) LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOL) SetIcons(IDR_TOOL, IDB_TOOL) // This does not overwrite the previous icons! I solved it by remapping IDR_TOOL to "tool_hicolor.bmp" and removing the call to SetIcons. Why did I have to do that?
