sorry lance,

i posted a reply to an old thread i found when searching and
didn't notice it was in the source code forum.

please reply here to my message over here:

The toolbar control uses just one BMP for all the buttons, and you specify which "portion" (or "segment") of the bitmap each button will be using.

Therefore, you cannot "mix and match" between the Windows images and your app ones. Instead you'll need to create a toolbar BMP and include "copies" of the built in ones into your bitmap.

Take a look at TOOLBAR.BMP in the SKELETON example...

The incorrectly placed message that started this thread follows (the original has now been deleted from the Source Code Forum)

Bet you all forgot about this thread!

Lance (et. al.),

In your DDT Toolbar code, you set (for example)

Tbb(x&).iBitmap = %STD_UNDO

This is used in conjunction with:

Tabm.hInst = %HINST_COMMCTRL    ' Use GetModuleHandle(BYVAL %NULL) if using a bitmap in a linked resource file

My questions:

1) Is it possible to mix my own icons from my .PBR file AND
some of the bitmaps in the common control .BMP?

2) If I want to use the icons from my .PBR file and I change hInst
as instructed, what do I assign to the iBitmap fields?

LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(BYVAL %NULL), "MYICONNAME") ?????

Hi Lance,

Thanks for cleaning up my mess.

I did not think that mixing the .BMP & ICOs would work (but I
had to ask!).

I'm inclined to just use ICOs from the resource file as I have
many, many, many toolbars in different dialogs that will be
sharing various icons from a list of about 40 (currently).
So, I'll extract or create icons to replace the .BMP images
I like.

Therefore, I would like to ask again for help with my original
question #2.. What do I use for Tbb(x&).iBitmap if I'm assigning
Tabm.hInst = GetModuleHandle(BYVAL %NULL) ?

Uhh. I just reread your reply Lance.

Are you saying that I cannot use ICOns in my resource file
for toolbar images? I HAVE to conglomerate them into a
humoungous .BMP?

Aye, Captain!

That bites!

The Skeleton example's TOOLBAR.BMP appears to have the
icons dimensioned 24 pixels wide by 25 pixels tall. I
need to display my toolbars with both small (16x16) and
large (32x32) icons. Do I need to redraw all of them in
24 x 24 format!?!?

Or do I need to create two large BMPs - one for each size?

I gather that the extra pixels at the bottom of the TOOLBAR.BMP
for the Skeleton sample are optional?

I've been re-reading the toolbar code and I do not see where you
are specifying the size of the bitmap images. How does Windows
know if you are using 16x16, 24x24 or 32x32?

I'm not at my DEV PC to give you the precise code, but you need to investigate the %TB_SETBITMAPSIZE message.

It should go something like this:

CONTROL SEND hDlg, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_SETBITMAPSIZE, 0, MAKLNG(24,24) ' 24x24 pixel image size.

Thanks Lance, I'm not at my DEV PC right now either, but I'll take
a look.

Many thanks.

OK. I need help.

I've created two toolbar bitmaps - 16x16 & 32x32. I added them to
my .RC file like so:

LTBAR BITMAP LARGEIMAGE.BMP
STBAR BITMAP SMALLIMAGE.BMP

I compiled the .RC into a .PBR.

Now, I've modified the DDT Toolbar code in my app as follows:

...
'set Tbb()
...
'   Tabm.hInst = %HINST_COMMCTRL    ' Use GetModuleHandle(BYVAL %NULL) if using a bitmap in a linked resource file
   Tabm.hInst = GetModuleHandle(BYVAL %NULL)


   IF BIT( LogInUser.Info, %IconSize) THEN
      CONTROL SEND hDlg&, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_SETBITMAPSIZE, 0, MAKLNG(16,16)


'      Tabm.nID = %IDB_STD_SMALL_COLOR ' Use the ID of the bitmap image, ie, %ID_TOOLBAR
      Tabm.nID = LoadBitmap( Tabm.hInst, "STBAR")
   ELSE
      CONTROL SEND hDlg&, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_SETBITMAPSIZE, 0, MAKLNG(32,32)


'      Tabm.nID = %IDB_STD_LARGE_COLOR ' Use the ID of the bitmap image, ie, %ID_TOOLBAR
      Tabm.nID = LoadBitmap( Tabm.hInst, "LTBAR")
   END IF


   CONTROL SEND hDlg&, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_ADDBITMAP, %ToolButtons, VARPTR(Tabm)


   ' Set the buttons
   CONTROL SEND hDlg&, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE, SIZEOF(Tbb(0)), 0
   CONTROL SEND hDlg&, %ID_TOOLBAR, %TB_ADDBUTTONS, %ToolButtons, VARPTR(Tbb(0))

1) I think I'm supposed to call LoadBitmap, right? Is Tabm.hInst
a correct first parameter?

2) I have no idea what I'm supposed to assign to Tabm.nID.

Current code as is executes without generating an error, but
toolbar buttons are blank.

Help!
