Hello,

We'd like to use multiple versions of our icons (hinted at different sizes to look good at that size).

1. For instance, we'd like to use the 24x24 resources for toolbar icons, the 16x16 resources for the menu item buttons, 32x32 for the large buttons option. How can this be achieved?

2. In addition, we would like to use 24x24 icons for tear-off menus (after it is torn off), so that it looks consistent with our toolbars. How can we do this?

3. Is it possible to use 24x24 icons in the Menu items? If so, how can this be specified?

-S

Hi,

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szIcons = ...

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szLargeIcons= ...

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szPopupIcons= ...

This answers part of my question. The other problem that I have is that our toolbar icons (24x24) look fine in our toolbar but look like crap when they are drawn in the menu (with fuzzies etc). Looks like the 24x24 resource is being badly scaled to 16x16 for the menu bar items.

Is there a method to specify a separate 16x16 resource for icons in the menus?

yes. just add icons to imagemanager:

pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(...);

Oleg,

Actually, re-reading your e-mail. My initial question is not answered. What I'd like to do is to use multiple icons sets, each set optimized for its size.

ie, I have an iconset at 48x48 icons for large toolbar.
24x24 for regular toolbar
16x16 for menu items.

I do not want to depend upon "Scaling these icons" as it looses its clarity (slightly, but we are nigglers for details...)

Rather than setting the size as in

pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szIcons = ...
pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szLargeIcons= ...
pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->szPopupIcons= ...

I want to specify separate bitmap resources for Icons, LargeIcons, PopupIcons and Menubar Icons. How do I achieve this?

And seems you didn't try suggested

Also check Samples\CommandBars\CommandBarIcons sample it will show how iamgemanager can be used.
