Hi, I want to enable icons to be used for menu items for menus used via. TrackPopupMenu(). I understand that if a cmd id for a menu item matches a cmd id on the main toolbar, then its icon will be used. But how do I get icons displayed for other commands. ie. Commands that don’t have an associated toolbar button.
I tried creating a new a toolbar that is never displayed and setup a TOOLBAR resource, but the images aren’t displayed. Do I need to somehow specify that this Toolbar should be used instead of the IDR_MAINFRAME one for specific calls to TrackPopupMenu(). If so how? I don’t want to have to manually code setting icon’s for for each individual menu item.
Thanks. Neville

Dear Neville,
Please verify you have done correctly the following two things:
1) You have invoked g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu( . . . , IDR_YOUR_POPUP_MENU ) 2) You have invoked g_CmdManager->UpdateFromToolBar ( . . . , IDR_YOUR_TOOLBAR_FOR_POPUP )
After that, you may create a dynamic instance of the CExtPopupMenuWnd class, invoke its LoadMenu( HWND, IDR_YOUR_POPUP_MENU ) and TrackPopupMenu() methods. The displayed popup menu must have icons corresponding to the buttons in the IDR_YOUR_TOOLBAR_FOR_POPUP toolbar resource.

Thanks. Adding g_CmdManager->UpdateFromToolBar ( . . . , IDR_YOUR_TOOLBAR_FOR_POPUP ) got things working.
However I didn’t add: g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu( . . . , IDR_YOUR_POPUP_MENU ). Do I realy nead to do this for dynamic menus?

Dear Neville,
We suppose you invokes g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu() for the IDR_MAINFRAME resource (or this method is invoked automatically during initialization of the menu bar). In this case, you do not need to call g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu(...,IDR_YOUR_POPUP_MENU) if all commands in the IDR_YOUR_POPUP_MENU menu are duplicated in IDR_MAINFRAME . Otherwise, you should.
