Hi all,

I'm in the middle of evaluating CommandBars ActiveX.

Preface:

I have a working program which uses PNGs for icons.

They get loaded into an imagelist from a resource file.

They work fine in the CC5 toolbars as EXE and in the IDE.

I'd like to use these imagelists with the command bars.

CommandBarsA.AddImageList imgl_24

AddControl ToolBar.Controls, xtpControlButton, 1, "&New", False, "Create a new document"

This doesn't show an icon.

I thought the 1 adresses the first icon.

Not sure if the problem is to tell the commandbars the right index.

In the examples and here in the forum I couldn't find an answer.

What is the right syntax or command construction?

Or am I on the wrong path?

Thank you.

(BTW, why I can't use the image manager:

I have found no method to load the icons from resource.

I have only PNGs now, but could easily switch to the ICO format.

I know there is LoadIconFromResource, but this requires a compiled exe.

Not so very handy when working in the IDE...

If I miss something, I'll be happy to get a hint.)
