Topic: CXTPToolBar > 16-color?

I'd like to use toolbar images in a CXTPToolBar that have more than 16 colors. Is this possible with the current CXTPToolBar? There is no LoadBitmap() member function, and LoadToolBar() loads a toolbar resource template, which Visual Studio forces into 16-color format.

Looking over the archived messages in this forum, it appears that some people were using CXTToolBars with images greater than 16-color, but I could not find CXTToolBar anywhere in the 9.1.0 source. Has that class been deprecated/replaced?

I'd really like to user high-color images in my CXTPToolBars. The rest of the application looks fabulous, but the 16-color images make the toolbars ugly and look out-of-place.

Thanks for any help.

Santos

Just replace res/toolbar.bmp to 24bit/32bit bitmap.

Try XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(...).

I think your top left color of bitmap has no transparent - background color... If so you can manually set mask color to be used:

call XTPImageManager()->SetMaskColor(RGB(...)); before loading toolbar.
