According to the help file, the LoadDesignerBars syntax is:

LoadDesignerBars [FileNameOrResource], [Instance]

Does this mean I can load a commandbar object from a resource? Does this work in VB6?

Hello,

yes, if this parameter is number, CommandBars will try to load from resources with RT_RCDATA type. second parameter must be Instance of main application. Will work with vb6 also.

But for Vb6 think easy use designer - right click on control and choose edit.

Editing via the right click may be easier, but it's not what I need. We have several forms that use the same basic Commandbar. When a change needs to be made, I was hoping to make it in one .xcb, store that as a resource and each form would then load the updated design from this resource. Otherwise I would have to make a change in 10 different forms! The load from resource would be more efficient and easier to maintain.

This is the line of code I'm using:

CommandBars.LoadDesignerBars 101, App.hInstance

After building the executable I used a resource viewer (reshacker) to make sure that resource 101 is actually of type RCDATA and that it is actually .xcb data.

Still cannot get it to work. Any suggestions?
