I need to load files that could be gif, jpg or bmp at runtime as toolbar icons.
The AddIcon() method claims to take a handle to an icon, but this doesn't work (VB6): Call CommandBars.Icons.AddIcon(LoadPicture("path\to\image.gif").H andle, newBtn.id, xtpImageNormal) Anyone had luck loading a picture that isn't a BMP? |

Try this:

I thought about using something like that, but I'd rather not add that much code just for this.
Maybe I can extract just the load picture code, hrmm. It doesn't help that the AddIcon() method documentation does not specify how to specify an image handle... |

OK that nearly worked, but the VBALImageList doesn't support loading images that are different dimensions to the one defined internally.
Guess I'll have to submit this as a support request... |

LoadPicture.Handle retrieve HBITMAP not HICON. try CommandBars.Icons.AddBitmap instead. |

That worked, thanks!
You may want to document that method, I couldn't find it in the docs anywhere. |
