Hello everyone,


I¡¯m writing a add-in for outlook 2000/XP. I know how to add menubarbutton,
but I cannot change the icon size. Is there any advice?

In what way do you want to change the icon size? Icons are generally only
one size. The end-user can go to TOOLS | CUSTOMIZE | OPTIONS and turn on
Large Icons. That turns ALL of them in to large icons, and I don't think you
can do that through code.

Thanks for your reply.

I want add a bitmap button into menubar, that is to say, all of the client
area of button will be covered by a user defined bitmap. Currently, I want
to develop a add in for outlook 2000/xp, and I want make my menubar is more
attractive, so I want to change the icon size of the menubar, or add a
bitmap button to menubar. Can I do like this ?

I'm not aware of any way to make the icon "bigger". You are stuck with the
size Microsoft chose (16 by 16 I believe). You can try using .PasteFace with
a bigger bitmap and see what happens. When I do it interactively, Outlook
resizes the bitmap, so you see a smaller version of the big bitmap.
