Greetings,

I've run into a problem in Horton's Visual C++ 2008 Ch 14 creating the toolbar. I've successfully followed the Sketcher MFC example in Ch 13 and Ch 14 up to creating the toolbar, and have used the toolbar resource to create 8 buttons as he described. I saved the .rc file and compiled/ran the program OK except that I don't get in the executable the bitmaps I created on the buttons. I get functional buttons, with tool tips, that activate their corresponding menu items OK. They just don't show the bitmaps. Also, I see that the file Toolbar.bmp does not contain these bitmaps either, although they do show on the toolbar resource to create the bitmaps. I think this may be the problem but I don't know how to fix it.

Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Windows XP SP2 and MS Visual Studio 2008 Pro.

Thank you,

Ted

Greetings again,

Now it works OK! I have no idea what I did to make it work. As far as I can tell, I just played with it, repeating steps I'd done before, and, presto, it works.

Thanks to any who have spent time investigating this. If I figure out anything, I'll post it.

Regards,

Ted
