Toolbar images

[Jacques Cooper]

Hello,

I developed a VB6 Word Add-In
with a toolbar. The add-in works OK.

However, I changed the bitmap images
of the toolbar buttons, but Word still displays
the old bitmap images (the add-in loads
the bitmap images at run-time from disk
files mybutton1.bmp, mybutton2.bmp,...)

How do I get Word to use the new
bitmap images?

TIA,
Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Thank you for posting in MSDN managed newsgroup!

From my understanding to this issue, you're going to change the face icon of your toolbar buttons in word.

Based on my experience, I'd suggest you can use the "PasteFace" method of CommandBarButton Object to change the icon for the toolbar button.
Before using this method, you will need to copy the bmp icon file into the clipboard. Then use the PasteFace method to change the icon.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Does this answer your question? Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!

Maybe your old button was never destroyed, and your new version does not
overwrite existing buttons?
Remember that Word toolbar buttons are added to Normal.dot by default.
