Does anyone know if the LoadDesignerBars method only excepts references to files (.xcb) or does it also except a reference to a resource of some type?

To add xcb file to resource:

Rightclick on command bars and choose properties.

Select your xcb file.

Call CommandBars.LoadDesignerBars without parameters.

Thanks for your input downtowntoby. I realized that feature, but didn't consider it to be a "resource". I think that using the property page of the ocx to load the .xcb file just throws that info in the registry as binary. I was hoping that "resource" meant some kind of resource file who's file format could be customized (not using Designer Studio).

I think a better name for the argument would be "FileName" since that's the only type the method accepts.

Thanks again.

1. Add your xcb file in the project.

2. Set the properties to embedded resource

3. Use the fololling code

ResourceManager res = new ResourceManager(typeof(MainForm)) ;

// Load Commandbars

CommandBars.LoadDesignerBars(res.GetObject"MainForm.xcb") ,this) ;

where main form is the .. er.. the main form of the application

Hope this helps
