I have the ID to the toolbar button. Can I get the HBitmap associated with the button programmatically?

I tried this and HBitmap is always NULL.

    CXTPImageManagerIcon* pIcon = XTPImageManager()->GetImage( CmdID, 16);
    if (pIcon) {
        CXTPImageManagerIconHandle IconHandle = pIcon->GetIcon();
        CXTPImageManagerIconHandle IconCopy;
        IconCopy.CopyHandle(IconHandle);
        if (IconCopy != NULL) {
            hBM = (HBITMAP)IconCopy.GetBitmap();
        }
    }

I've tried several different ways to extract the hbitmap from a toolbar.

I created the toolbar using:
    CXTPTabManagerItem* pItem = CreateToolbar(pCommandBars, pToolBar, Index, _TT("Main"), IDR_MAINFRAME3, true, true, false);

How do I get the hbitmap from one of the buttons using it's command ID?

I've tried this approach too
        CXTPControl* pCtrl = pCommandBars->FindControl(XTPControlType::xtpControlButton, CmdID, true, true);
        if (pCtrl) {
            CXTPImageManagerIcon* pIcon = pCtrl->GetImage();
            if (pIcon) {
                CXTPImageManagerIconHandle IconHandle = pIcon->GetIcon();

Check this:

CXTPImageManagerIconHandle IconHandle = pIcon->GetIcon();
        CXTPImageManagerIconHandle IconCopy;
        IconCopy.CopyHandle(IconHandle);

ASSERT(IconCopy.GetBitmap() || IconCopy.GetIcon());

Should pIcon come from
    CXTPImageManagerIcon* pIcon = XTPImageManager()->GetImage( CmdID, 16);

or

        CXTPControl* pCtrl = pCommandBars->FindControl(XTPControlType::xtpControlButton, CmdID, true, true);
        if (pCtrl) {
            CXTPImageManagerIcon* pIcon = pCtrl->GetImage();

or does it matter?

Oleg,

That code did return an hIcon, at least it was not null. However, the hIcon would not display when draw with pDC->DrawState.

I was able to solve my problem by passing the pDC to pIcon->Draw(pDC, CPoint) - that worked!

Thanks
