I have seen Toolkit sample programs and all of them made toolbar with the use of toolbar resource, I have no idea about how to add bitmap strip with 256 colors as toolbar in project resource. Can you please help me to add bitmap strip with 256 colors as project resource? Or tell me some other way to make toolbar with all Toolkit style and in look and feel supports.
