[Dev-C++] custom toolbar

[Vlada D. <dj...@im...>]

Hi, everybody.

Here's another problem I'm having. I'm trying to create toolbar with my own
bitmap images, so I did the following:

1. I painted one 48x16 pixel bitmap using Paint, which should contain images
for 3 toolbar buttons
2. Defined ID for bitmap resource in header and added a line in .rc file
(ID_BITMAP BITMAP "image.bmp")
3. Finaly, I wrote a code to create toolbar.

--------begin code------
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icx;
    icx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
    icx.dwICC=ICC_BAR_CLASSES;
    InitCommonControlsEx(&icx);
    HWND hToolbar;

    switch (message)                  /* handle the messages */
    {
        case WM_CREATE:

hToolbar=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,TOOLBARCLASSNAME,NULL,WS_CHILD|WS_V
ISIBLE,0,0,0,0,
                        hwnd,(HMENU)ID_TOOLBAR,g_hInstance,NULL);
             if(!hToolbar)
             {
                MessageBox(hwnd,"Couldn't create toolbar","Error",MB_OK);
                return 0;
             }

SendMessage(hToolbar,TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE,(WPARAM)sizeof(TBBUTTON),0);

            TBBUTTON tbb[3];
            TBADDBITMAP tbab;



            tbab.hInst=g_hInstance;;
            tbab.nID=ID_BITMAP;
            SendMessage(hToolbar,TB_ADDBITMAP,(WPARAM)3,(LPARAM)&tbab);

            ZeroMemory(tbb,sizeof(tbb));

            tbb[0].iBitmap=0;
            tbb[0].fsState=TBSTATE_ENABLED;
            tbb[0].fsStyle=TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
            tbb[0].idCommand=ID_FILE_NEW;
            >>>>>two more button definitions<<<<<<<
SendMessage(hToolbar,TB_ADDBUTTONS,sizeof(tbb)/sizeof(TBBUTTON),(LPARAM)&tbb
);

---end code----

The program compiled, but when I start it, I keep getting "acces violation"
message. I tried using a debugger, but it wont even start (or I dont know
how to use it). When I comment out the line where I send the TB_ADDBITMAP
button, the program works, but without images on buttons, so I suppose
there's something wrong about that .
Can somebody give me some advice what could be wrong, or direct me to some
link about using Dev-Cpp debugger?

First, if the toolbar was created with CreateWindowEx, you must send a
TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE message before the TB_ADDBUTTONS.

Second - note the similarity of an array and a pointer. &myarray[0] is
same as myarray, i.e. a pointer to an entry. &myarray is a pointer to a
pointer to an entry. Should you really take the address of tbb as last
parameter of SendMessage().

If you want to show your bitmaps in your toolbar button
NOT use CreateToolbarEx() function
and NOT use SendMessage(hToolbar,TB_ADDBITMAP,(WPARAM)3,(LPARAM)&tbab);
ONLY standard toolbar buttons can normal execute.

I tried many times, and got no error, no warning, and only close
application.
I think that the commctrl.a maybe is old.

Only imagelist can run.

And need to add #define TB_SETIMAGELIST (WM_USER + 48)  in your commctrl.h

void ToolBar::CreateToolBar(void)
{
 _tbhwnd=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME,TOOLBARCLASSNAME,NULL,
         WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|TBSTYLE_FLAT|CCS_ADJUSTABLE|CCS_NODIVIDER,
         0,0,0,0,_hwnd,NULL,_hwnd.GetInstance(),NULL);

 HIMAGELIST hImage;
 HBITMAP hBitImage;
 hBitImage = LoadBitmap(_hwnd.GetInstance(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDTB_BMP));
 hImage = ImageList_Create(16, 16, ILC_COLOR32| ILC_MASK , 12, 1);
 ImageList_AddMasked(hImage, hBitImage, RGB(255, 255, 255));
 SendMessage(_tbhwnd, TB_SETIMAGELIST, (WPARAM)0, (WPARAM)hImage);
 DeleteObject(hBitImage);
}


void ToolBar::InitToolBar(void)
{

 tool_bar_buttons[0].iBitmap=0;
 tool_bar_buttons[0].idCommand=CM_FILE_NEW;
 tool_bar_buttons[0].fsState=TBSTATE_ENABLED;
 tool_bar_buttons[0].fsStyle=TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
 tool_bar_buttons[0].dwData =0;
 tool_bar_buttons[0].iString=0;

 tool_bar_buttons[1].iBitmap=1;
 tool_bar_buttons[1].idCommand=CM_FILE_LOAD;
 tool_bar_buttons[1].fsState=TBSTATE_ENABLED;
 tool_bar_buttons[1].fsStyle=TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
 tool_bar_buttons[1].dwData =0;
 tool_bar_buttons[1].iString=0;

 // and others


SendMessage(_tbhwnd,TB_ADDBUTTONS,17,(LPARAM)(LPTBBUTTON)&tool_bar_buttons);

}
