| I'd like to do the same thing actually, replacing a toolbar button image at runtime. Or is this only possible by re-setting the entire toolbar image (used in the creation process?). |

Hi,
Now i could be able to set the custom icon at runtime using the following code
//to get the handle to a particular button in the toolbar
CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars(); CXTPToolBar* pMYTOOLBAR=pCommandBars->GetToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME); int i=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetCount();CXTPControl* pControl=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetAt(1);//here i am trying to get handle for the second button //To get the handle to the icon IDI_ATOM present in the resources
pControl->SetIconId(IDI_ATOM);
HICON hIcon; hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_ATOM); pControl->SetCustomIcon(hIcon);//loading the icon onto the control Hope this is clear enough  |

Exactly what I needed! ([edit]well, unless using CXTPControlPopupColor, see below...) Thank you for your contribution and help! |

Hmmm, discovered a few issues though:
When using this on CXTPControlPopupColor, it doesnt redraw properly if done from the UpdateUI handler (C++). When you move the mouse over it, the icon changes, but drawing is still wrong, as then the displayed color is no longer visible....
I'll thing I'll try to make 2 buttons, only showing the one thats applicable, even though that will make for some odd code and duplicate UI handling
 . Another option is chaning the overall toolbar's bitmap - if that can be changed runtime, but that has the disadvantage of duplicating the bitmap, SetCustomIcon sounds nice, but in this case not a solution, unless I'm doing something wrong?

Don't use SetCustomIcon for this porpose.
Add icon to ImageManager:
pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(...); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
