PasteFace trouble :(

[Anton Antonov via OfficeKB.com]

Hello Everybody!!!

Configuration:
Operating System Windows 2003 sp1
Outlook 2000 sp3

Problem statement:
The strange problem appeared. I'm write Outlook Add-in with tool bar. I
want to create button with a picture. However, the following strange thing
occurs, method PasteFace returns E_FAIL. And pictures respectively are not
put into the button. Moreover is even more strange, the fact that under
Visual Studio debuger this method doesnormally passed!?

Other Add-in, for example OutlookSpy, works properly.

// put bitmap into Clipboard
::OpenClipboard(NULL);
::EmptyClipboard();
::SetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP, (HANDLE) hFinalBmp.m_hBitmap);
::CloseClipboard();

// set style before setting bitmap
hRes = spCmdButton->put_Style(Office::msoButtonIconAndCaption);
hRes = spCmdButton->PasteFace(); <-- FAILED

Dmitry, thank you very much!

We using 16x16x16 bitmaps and it does not work properly.
I'm tried to use 16x16x256 bitmaps and my toolbar buttons assume they
pictures.
