Using 16.2.4 & VS2012

How can I assign an icon (or bitmap) to an individual control in a ribbon group?

OK, I figured out how to get the icon onto an individual control.

But when I call the group add method and then add the icon, I always get the 16x16 icons and three rows in the group. How can I specify that the group (or an individual control) should display as 1 row, 32x32 icon, and have the caption below it instead of to the right? (Specifying a 32x32 icon doesn't do it; it just overwrites the caption displayed to the right).

I found the "pControl->SetStyle( xtpButtonIconAndCaptionBelow)" method to put the caption below the icon. But the icon still shows as 16x16; the SetIconSize() method doesn't affect it.

So, I can now do most of what I want, except I can't get the ribbon to use 32x32 icons when they're individually assigned.

Hi!

I have used a special PNG containing alls 32*32 pictures.

pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_PNG_RIBBON_LARGE, uiLargeIcons, _countof(uiLargeIcons), CSize(32, 32));

This worked for me.
