I have a usercontrol (which will be loaded several times during runtime) and in each of these usercontrols I have a commandbar which will have a toolbar with 10 buttons (with icon).

 

The problem is this: The icons don't show on the buttons

 

Loading the icons with function:

 

CommandBars.Icons.LoadBitmap App.Path & "\toolsviews.bmp", Array(301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310), xtpImageNormal

(imageheight = 16)

 

This is what I checked:

The buttons are loaded correctly (mouseover displays selection area)

The Icon ID's match loaded icon id (CommandBars_Execute event)

The number of icons in Commandbars (Commandbars.Icons.Count = 10)

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Show code where you add buttons to toolbar.

 

I created a test project and copied the existing code into the new project. You wouldn't believe it, but it works !!!

 

Now for my existing project. Loading the toolbar like this:

 

Private function LoodToolbarItems()

    CommandBarSubviews.Icons.RemoveAll
    CommandBarSubviews.Icons.LoadBitmap App.Path & "\Views\AreaBackground\toolsviews.bmp", Array(301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308), xtpImageNormal
            
    Set toolBarSubViews = CommandBarSubviews.Add("Tools subview", xtpBarTop)
        
        AddButton toolBarSubViews.Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_TOOLBAR_LEFT, "", True, "Moves selected item to the left", xtpButtonIcon, "ToolSubView", True

''for every button AddButton.......

 

End Function

 

Private Function AddButton(Controls As CommandBarControls, ControlType As XtremeCommandBars.XTPControlType, Id As Long, Caption As String, Optional BeginGroup As Boolean = False, Optional DescriptionText As String = "", Optional ButtonStyle As XTPButtonStyle = xtpButtonAutomatic, Optional Category As String = "Controls", Optional ButtonClose As Boolean = True) As CommandBarControl
    Dim Control As CommandBarControl
    Set Control = Controls.Add(ControlType, Id, Caption)
   
    Control.BeginGroup = BeginGroup
    Control.DescriptionText = DescriptionText
    Control.Style = ButtonStyle
    Control.Category = Category
    Control.Enabled = True
    Control.CloseSubMenuOnClick = ButtonClose
   
    Set AddButton = Control
   
End Function

 

 

When everything is loaded I don't get images on the added buttons.

 

I added a testbutton with just 2 lines of code:

 

    CommandBarSubviews.Icons.RemoveAll

    CommandBarSubviews.Icons.LoadBitmap App.Path & "\Views\AreaBackground\toolsviews.bmp", Array(301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308), xtpImageNormal

 

Now the icons will be shown!!!

 

But it's getting really weird now. I have a mainview (a form) with commandbar (Name = CommandbarView) and I use the same images for positioning (like the subviews (Name = CommandbarSubview)). When I load the images for CommandbarView (same ID's) ,the icons in CommandbarSubviews will be shown as well???

 

Are you following me, Oleg? Is it possible that Commandbars somehow connects with eachother? The only thing they have is a common Button.ID

 

I don't use Actions or anything else.

 

This is hairpuller of the third kind, I believe.

 

To use private icons for some commandbars call

 

CommandBars.Options.UseSharedImageList = False
