Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out the best method to solve this issue. On my toolbar, I have a Toolbar Button called "Review Images". I also have a Toolbar Button called "Show Live". I want to toggle these icons. The only methods that I see are to remove and insert the toolbar buttons.

Is there an easy method to swap icons or to show one icon and not the other?

It’s possible to hide any toolbar button by applying the TBBS_HIDDEN toolbar button style:

UINT nCommandID = . . .
bool bShowButton = . . .
CExtToolControlBar * pToolBar = . . .
int nButtonIndex = pToolBar->CommandToIndex( nCommandID );
            if( nButtonIndex < 0 )
                        return . . .
CExtBarButton * pTBB = pToolBar->CommandToIndex( nButtonIndex );
            ASSERT_VALID( pTBB );
UINT nAdd = bShowButton ? 0 : TBBS_HIDDEN;
UINT nRemove = bShowButton ? TBBS_HIDDEN : 0;
            pTBB->ModifyStyle( nAdd, nRemove );
CFrameWnd * pWndParentFrame = pToolBar->GetParentFrame();
            if( pWndParentFrame == NULL )
                        return . . .
            pWndParentFrame->RecalcLayout();

But, unfortunately, button swapping is not supported. But changing toolbar buttons with CExtToolControlBar::SetButtons(), CExtToolControlBar::LoadToolBar(), CExtToolControlBar::InsertButton()>, CExtToolControlBar::InsertSpecButton()> and/or CExtToolControlBar::RemoveButton() is fast.
