icons in the menu bar

[Prado]

Dear alls,

I've a problem with my project.

I would like to introduce same icons in the menu bar, similar to "Save Icon", "Load Icon", etc...

Is it possible ?  I cannot find any sample with this icons in the menu bar.

Thank you very much in advance,.

You can use the toolbar instrument driver: <cvidir>\toolslib\custstrl\toolbar.fp

Look at the sample project <cvidir>\samples\userint\custctrl\toolbar\tooldemo.prj

Are you sure? I don't think the toolbar instrument driver can do this. I think Prado is trying to get icons in the pull down menus like in MS Office, etc. Maybe there is Windows API call that can do this.

Gosh! You're right! I have read "toolbar" instead of "menu bar"!

I found some info on the the Windows API menu functions. Let me know when you figure it out; I have long wanted to add this perk to my programs.

Get a handle to the menu using GetMenu, then add a bitmap using SetMenuItemBitmaps.
