When deriving our toolbars from CExtToolControlBar, all toolbar button bitmaps are not visible: all I can see are the outline of each toolbar, plus the chevron at the end.
Everything else on our toolbars are OK: the right # of buttons, tooltips are correct, ID’s are correct, correct results from a button push... everything but the bitmaps.
Not sure if this is relevant info, but all our toolbar resources are stored in other files: some always remain loaded (.enu), and some are loaded (.dll) only during creation of toolbars , then released.
If I change our toolbar class to derive from CToolBar instead of CExtToolControlBar, I can see the bitmaps, and everything works normal. This demonstrates that resources are available, images load OK, ID’s are OK, etc.
I haven’t integrated command manager to display menu bitmaps yet, and I’m not sure if there is some special command manager initialization that could be affecting the toolbars.
Any suggestions?
Also, are any docs available that explain command manager usage, functionality and features?
