	Hi, Why you can't edit resources ? You can find control and call its pControl->SetDescription method

	I can't edit the resources because I want the Statusbar to show a different description to that displayed in the tooltip. Initially I tried: pCommandBars->FindControl(xtpControlButton,ID_FILE_NEW,...)pControl->SetTooltip(...) pControl->SetDescription(...) This only changed the toolbar item and not the menu item. I found that you can call a function: pCommandBars->EnableActions() and get the control with the call: pCommandBars->GetActions()->FindAction(ID_FILE_NEW) setting the Tooltip and description now effects both menu and toolbar items, but I still have the problem that the status bar reflects the change to the description, showing new line characters as squares (yuk!)
