Date Posted: 15 October 2005 at 10:07pm

I am trying out this product to see if it is something that I should by. So far I think it is great. I am only having one problem. I can't get the icons to show in the toolbar. I got it to work once and I modified the code to instert a (I think it is called) split button with popup. Now the icons won't show, I took it out to see if it would work again and it still won't. I have read much of the help and tutorial for mdi and sdi projects and I must be missing something but I have no idea what it is.

Thank you to anyone that can help me. Below is my code.

Private Sub MDIForm_Load()

    Me.Left = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainLeft", 1000)
    Me.Top = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainTop", 1000)

    Me.Height = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainHeight", 6500)

AddImageList is quite obsolete method, better use ImageManager control and use its icons:

Set CommandBars.Icons = ImageManager.Icons.

IF UNDERSTAND GOOD, YOU TRY TO INSERT ICONS IN A SUB-MENUS, IN FACT, YOU TRY INSERT ICONS THIS WAY:

[iconA] MENU0
[iconB] MENU1 > SUBMENU0
                        > SUBMENU1
                      > SUBMENU2
                      > SUBMENU3
                      > SUBMENU4
                      > SUBMENU n
[iconC] MENU2

AND ICON B WONT SHOW, IS TRUE?
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND USE THE IMAGEMANAGER NOT FIX IT.

IF SOMEBODY KNOW THEN SOLUTION, PLEASE, TELL US.

THANKS.

No, i guess it is another...

1. Call Control.IconId = ID_OF_ICON

2. Call Control.Style = xtpButtonIconAndCaption

I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OF FOLOW WAY:

Set m_paramt = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, 4, "Parametros", -1, False)
    With m_paramt.CommandBar.Controls
        Set menu = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 4000, "&Financieros", -1, False)
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4001, "Monedas", -1, False
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4002, "Indicadores Econ�micos", -1, False
        menu.BeginGroup = True
        Set menu = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 4010, "Geograficos", -1, False)
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4011, "Pa�s", -1, False
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4012, "Estado", -1, False
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4013, "Municipio", -1, False
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4014, "Ciudad", -1, False
        menu.BeginGroup = True
        Set menu = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 4020, "Contables", -1, False)
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4021, "Centros de Costo", menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4022, "Comprobantes Contables", -1, False
        menu.BeginGroup = True
        Set menu = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 4030, "Inventario", -1, False)
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4031, "Ubicaciones", -1, False
        menu.BeginGroup = True
        Set menu = .Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 4040, "Obras en Proceso", -1, False)
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4041, "Unidades T�cnicas", -1, False
menu.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4042, "Provedores", -1, False
        menu.BeginGroup = True
    End With

AND USE Set CommandBars.Icons = ImageManager.Icons
