Toolbar Question

[dantay9]

I am trying to make a customized toolbar. I have tried to combine the standard in $IDB_STD_LARGE_COLOR with my own icons, but it didn't work. If that is possible, how?

Also, if I knew where the icons in $IDB_STD_LARGE_COLOR came from, I could make my own image list. Do the icons come from just shell32.dll?

See _GUICtrlToolbar_AddBitmap in the Help File under the UDF section.

$IDB_STD_LARGE_COLOR refers to the large standard system bitmaps on your system. You can add your own resources by doing something similar:

$hGUI = GUICreate("Toolbar", 400, 300)
$custombmp = "test.bmp" ; location to resource
$hToolbar = _GUICtrlToolbar_Create ($hGUI)
$Bitmap = _GUICtrlToolbar_LoadBitmap($hToolbar,$custombmp)
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton ($hToolbar, $Bitmap, 0)

As for combining the images on the toolbars, I haven't tested it out but you could try using BitOr($IDB_STD_LARGE_COLOR,$custombmp) and add buttons for both. Again, I have not tried doing this with this particular function.

Edit: Also, GaryFrost and Valuator are very good with Toolbars. I'm certain one of them could expand or elaborate on this further.

The bitor doesn't work. I'll ask Gary. Thanks for trying, though.

BitOr won't work, its pointless in this case.

Take a close look at _GUICtrlToolbar_AddBitmap in the helpfile... The example there should be what you need?

[dantay9]

From what I can see, either I use all my own images or all system images.

Take a look at the SciTE toolbar. There is a link in my signature.

Nice! That's what I am looking for. Thanks a bunch!
