Hi Guys,

Iam trying to put some bitmap images using a toolbarcontrol into a dialog.

I have done it as follows:


CRect toolbarSize(20,20,100,50);
m_toolBarCtrl.Create(WS_CHILD|TBSTYLE_FLAT,toolbar Size,this,IDR_TOOLBAR1);
m_toolBarCtrl.AddBitmap(1,IDB_BITMAP2);
m_toolBarCtrl.AddBitmap(1,IDB_BITMAP3);

TBBUTTON tb[3];

// Index of new button image.
tb[0].iBitmap = 0;
// Setting button state
tb[0].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
// Setting button style
tb[0].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
tb[0].dwData = 0;
tb[0].iString = NULL;

// Index of new button image.
tb[1].iBitmap = 1;
//Setting button state
tb[1].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
// Setting button style
tb[1].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
tb[1].dwData = 0;
tb[1].iString = NULL;


m_toolBarCtrl.AddButtons(2,tb);
m_toolBarCtrl.ShowWindow(true);



The problem is in both of my buttons,I see only 1 image(ie: the image in "bitmap2").What should I do to see the other bitmap image in the other button.

I have each images in 2 different files(So I imported it into the resource editor as 2 bitmaps -IDB_BITMAP2& IDB_BITMAP3)

If I want to have my images in one bitmapResource(if thats the problem),What should I do ?

Mind that I have each image, which I want to displaye as .bmp file.(one image in 1 .bmp file).

Another thing is How can I see a tooltip for each button in the above code...

Any help is appreciated.....

Thanks.....

All you need to do is combine both the images and call AddBitmap only once.

How Can I combine both these images(Is there a tool).As I told u I have these 2 images in seperate .bmp files....

There are many. Paint Brush, VC++ Resource editor etc.

For the Tool Tips create you toolbarctrl with TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS style like this

m_toolBarCtrl.Create(WS_CHILD|TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS,too lbarSize,this,0);

Then add a handler for TTN_NEEDTEXTA message.
Do it by adding this

ON_NOTIFY_EX( TTN_NEEDTEXTA, 0, ToolTipsHandler)

to your Dialog's Message MAPlike this

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CToolBarProbDlg, CDialog)
    ON_NOTIFY_EX( TTN_NEEDTEXTA, 0, ToolTipsHandler)
    ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_CALL_IT, OnCallIt)
.
.
.

Add the Handler function

BOOL CToolBarProbDlg::ToolTipsHandler( UINT id, NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult )
{
        TOOLTIPTEXT *pTTT = (TOOLTIPTEXT *)pNMHDR;
        UINT nID =pNMHDR->idFrom;
        switch(nID)
        {
        case IDC_CALL_IT:
            pTTT->lpszText = "BUTTON ONE";
            return TRUE;
        case IDC_CALL_IT_TWO:
            pTTT->lpszText = "BUTTON TWO";
            return TRUE;
        } return FALSE;

}

Make sure that for each button ID there is a string table entry if you want to have strings loaded from the string table which is the standard way.

Thank You......
