Hi,

I'm trying to reuse some icons in a toolbar with the following code.

{
    // make the array for the icons
    UINT icons[] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ID_VALUESET_COMMITCHANGES};

    // now set the color icon
    int index = 0;
    // if we have a valuset, get the correct color
    icons[index] = ID_VALUESET_COLOR;
    // set the icons for the toobar
    VERIFY(m_MainToolBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_VALUESET, icons, _countof(icons), CSize(32, 32)) );
    m_MainToolBar->Invalidate();
}

What I'm seeing is that I am always getting the first 2 icons out of IDB_VALUSET which is a .png file. The behavior I desire is to pick icons within that file and set them on particular buttons. m_MainToolBar is a CXTPToolBar.

Is it the case that the specification of icons[] is somehow wrong, or is this just not possible with a CXTPToolBar?

Thanks,

Darin

Hi,

Need to see your toolbar resource and your toolbar bitmap to understand what you need.

Attach sample.

Thanks.

We have found 2 ways to resolve this problem and would like to know which is the preferred method. We found empirically that:

1. Since there are 10 images in my .png file, if I change the icon array to have a place for each icon, the code works.

UINT icons[] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ID_VALUESET_COMMITCHANGES, 0, 0, 0, 0};

2. Changing the array to indicate unused icons with -1 makes the icon mapping work

UINT icons[] = {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, ID_VALUESET_COMMITCHANGES};

Which is preferred? I tend to like number 2 because it doesn't require me to know how many icons are in the png file, just account for which ones I'm using.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not even sure that second method really work. if you don't know how many icons in file, how ImageManager have to determine it ?

Use first method.
