Hey all.

I tried your brrof-UI 2.25 and it looked great from the demos. However when i tried to implement the UI into my program using the article provided, the toolbar buttons refused to display. I can select the enabled icons but there is no picture. Is there some code i’m forgetting to add?

Dear Jon,

You forgot to set up command profile information in the command manager. Please compare your CMainFrame::OnCreate method with the similar methods in Prof-UIS samples (SDI, SDIDOCVIEW, MDI, or MDIDOCVIEW). You need to use the following code just before m_wndMenuBar.Create(...) at the beginning of your CMainFrame::OnCreate method:

 g_CmdManager->ProfileSetup(
  pApp->m_pszProfileName,
  GetSafeHwnd()
  );
 VERIFY(
  g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu(
   pApp->m_pszProfileName,
   IDR_MAINFRAME
   )
  );

I added the above lines of code. Then i ended up with two errors:

LP error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: bool __thiscall CExtCmdManager::UpdateFromMenu(wchar_t const *,unsigned int,bool,bool)" (__imp_?UpdateFromMenu@CExtCmdManager@@QAE_NPB_WI_N1@Z) referenced in function "protected: int __thiscall CMainFrame::OnCreate(struct tagCREATESTRUCTW *)" (?OnCreate@CMainFrame@@IAEHPAUtagCREATESTRUCTW@@@Z)

LP error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: bool __thiscall CExtCmdManager::ProfileWndAdd(wchar_t const *,struct HWND__ *)" (__imp_?ProfileWndAdd@CExtCmdManager@@QAE_NPB_WPAUHWND__@@@Z) referenced in function "protected: int __thiscall CMainFrame::OnCreate(struct tagCREATESTRUCTW *)" (?OnCreate@CMainFrame@@IAEHPAUtagCREATESTRUCTW@@@Z)

what could be the cause of this problem?

We suppose the problem lies somewhere in your project configuration. May it be that your project uses Prof-UIS version 2.24 or earlier?
