    Hey guys, I have been able to successfully compile Notepad++ using VC++ Express 2008 on Windows XP x64 with no errors or warnings and my produced exe does run ok.

    However, for some reason, the main toolbar with icons doesn't work at all in my exe build.  I have tried changing the icon theme or diisabling and them re-enabling it but no joy.

    It works perfectly in the binaries provided on this site.

    Any ideas what might be going wrong?

    Kindest Regards
    Fots

      Well, this appears to have happened between 4.8.2 and 4.8.5.  I can see the icons in my compiled 4.8.2 but not in my complied 4.8.5.

      It just so happens that there was a lot of code changing between those versions in the Toolbar.cpp and ToolBar.h files.

      I am still trying to track down what is causing the problem, but if anyone at all can help me, I truly would appreciate it! :)

      Cheers

        Just played around with vc++ 2008, I've got the same problem - the binary has no tool bar under xp (ok under vista), but I have no idea why it happens.

        If anyone has walk around for this issue, please let me know.

        Don
