Custom Icons

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

   My application allows users to customize our toolbars and menus using a programming API - everything works great except I can't figure out how to allow them to change icons, and have them saved.
I can use XTPImageManager( )->SetIcons( ) to load a bitmap/icon that they specify and have it show up as the icon in the menu or toolbar, however when you exit, the new image is not saved in the registry. If I go thru customization and create an icon, that image is properly saved, however that uses XTPImageManager( )->AddCustomIcon( ) which is private (also sets m_nCustomIconId in CXTPControl, which is likewise not public)
Is there some way that I am missing to create the custom icon image programmatically at runtime, and get it saved.

	In next release we added void CXTPControl::AddCustomIcon(HICON hIcon) { CXTPImageManager* pImageManager = GetImageManager(); if (pImageManager) { m_nCustomIconId = pImageManager->AddCustomIcon(hIcon); } } and make CXTPImageManager::AddCustomIcon public. so you can patch your sources too.

	Hi Oleg, void CXTPImageManager::RemoveAll(void) doesn't reset m_nCustomID to its default state. Actually bug will never occurs. But it looks like defect, isn't it?
