I'm trying to create toolbars on the fly, by loading the button images from .ico files.

In my CMainFrame I am using the following to load the icon:
HBITMAP hBmp = CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadAlphaIcon("G:\\icon17.ico",32);

The icon file has a single 32x32 16Million colour icon (I've also tried with 256 colour icons and icon files with multiple icons).

hBmp always ends up NULL. I can load the icon using LoadImage. I only have the demo version right now, so I can't see what is going on in the code.

Any ideas?

Wouldn't Alpha mean you should be using 32bit (not 24bit, if thats what you mean by 16M color)

That might be it. I didn't know Alpha icons have to be 32bit.

I'll see if I can find a 32bit icon I can test it out with.

Thanks!
