I downloaded the white paper Prof-UIS_WhitePaper.pdf from your website and on page 23, it says "Text support for toolbar buttons: You can customize any toolbar button so that the toolbar can display its icon, its text, or both its icon and text (see Figure 25)."

For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to do this. And I haven’t found any examples that demo this.

Thanks.

To display the text for the command in the toolbar, your code should be something like this:

bool bHasText = true;
CExtCmdItem *pCmdItem = g_CmdManager->CmdGetPtr(pApp->m_pszProfileName, yourCmdId);
ASSERT_VALID(pCmdItem);
pCmdItem->m_sToolbarText = bHasText ? pCmdItem->m_sMenuText : _T(""); // or any other text instead of pCmdItem->m_sMenuText 

In addition to what the Chris said, the following FAQ may be helpful:

How to display both an icon and text for a toolbar button or a menu item in a customizable application?
