    Question Custom toolbar icons mirroring other toolbar icons or missing completely

    got a custom toolbar for my vba program, and trie to copy it to another inhouse machine and the tool bar picked up the icon images of the toolbar above it in the cui file editor. where ever i moved it to it always looked like the one above it. And if the one above it had fewer icons then the rest of my toolbar icons were blank, just showed an empty toolbar.
    In the editor it had the right images but didn't seem to display it in the live bar on the desktop.
    anyone got any idea what would cause that? I am going to make a dll using the afralisp program but if this is beacuse of an installation error I would like to fix it. anyone know?

    Hi "artisteroi"

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the VBA forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    There is a .NET API for the CUI. Have you tried that? If not, are you creating a separate CUI to load as partial, to provide the toolbar? That will be the only way to get the separate resource .dll to work.

    "There is a .NET API for the CUI. Have you tried that? If not, are you creating a separate CUI to load as partial, to provide the toolbar? That will be the only way to get the separate resource .dll to work."

    What is a ".NET API for the CUI"?

    I have just joined this thread, however, I am having a similar problem, I think. Since the poster did not answer your question I will. Yes, I am creating a separate CUI (".mnu") to load as a partial menu to provide the toolbar. If you will, please look at the following which explains my condition much more thoroughly:

    You don't want to do that. Load all interface elements (i.e. load all CUI files) and use workspaces to control the visible elements. DO NOT SWAP "MENUS".
