Hi-color toolbars

[Hyien]

How can I make use of hicolor bitmaps in my toolbars?

[Tomasz Sowinski]

void SetTbImageList(CToolBar &tb, UINT nMessage, UINT nIDBitmap)
{
CImageList imageList;
CBitmap bitmap;

bitmap.LoadBitmap(nIDBitmap);
BITMAP bm;
bitmap.GetBitmap(&bm);
imageList.Create(bm.bmHeight, bm.bmHeight, ILC\_COLORDDB|ILC\_MASK, 0, 1);
imageList.Add(&bitmap, RGB(255,0,255));
tb.SendMessage(nMessage, 0, (LPARAM)imageList.m\_hImageList);
imageList.Detach();
bitmap.Detach();

}

// if you want to have 'hot' and 'cold' images
SetTbImageList(m_toolbar, TB_SETIMAGELIST, nBitmapColdID);
SetTbImageList(m_toolbar, TB_SETHOTIMAGELIST, nBitmapHotID);

// if you don't want to use 'hot' images
SetTbImageList(m_toolbar, TB_SETIMAGELIST, nBitmapID);

Is there a way to enable hicolor when using LoadToolBar? I dont want to create the tool bar from code.

[Tomasz Sowinski]

Use LoadToolBar first - it'll assign command IDs to buttons. Then, call the routine I've posted to change images to hicolor. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
