I am creating a plugin system for my app and one of the things is for the plugin to be able to specify the buttons on a toolbar with caption and images.

What I need to know is how do I load a toolbar control with an image from a file?

VERIFY( m_wndToolBar.CreateToolBar( WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC, this ) );

m_wndToolBar.SetBarID( IDR_TOOLBAR );



CXTPControl *pControl = m_wndToolBar.GetControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_TOOLBAR_NEW);

pControl->SetBeginGroup( TRUE );

pControl->SetStyle( xtpButtonIconAndCaption );

So with the above example I was looking for something like:

pControl->LoadIcon( "d:\image.png" );

I have got it I think:


HBITMAP hBitmap = CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadBitmapFromFile( "d:\\image.png" );



CXTPImageManagerIconHandle hIcon( hBitmap );

UINT uIconID = m_wndToolBar.GetImageManager()->AddCustomIcon( hIcon );



pControl->SetIconId( uIconID );

Seems to work okay. But do I need to free or release this bitmap at all?
