You should create a toolbar using the Visual Studio wizards. Then add the required initial set of buttons, find the toolbar’s bitmap in the res subfolder of your project and replace it with a high color bitmap.

Hi,

Yes, i already done that. But when I replace the high color bitmap with that toolbar’s bitmap, the color of that bitmap lost and that high color bitmap becomes 4-bit image.

The Visual Studio’s resource editor caches the resources you viewed or edited. We guess the Visual Studio simply overwrites your toolbar’s bitmap.

Hi,

Yes, may be that could be the case. So is there any solution for that?

You should not try to open toolbar editor in Visual Studio. You should edit toolbar bitmap using some external image editor program. You should change toolbar resource by editing text of .rc2 file.
