Hi, have tried some masochistic issues and tried to do a toolbar in pure winapi. created the parent window, but then when creating the toolbar (using CreateToolbarEx), I''m requested to submit a "Resource identifier for the bitmap resource. If hBMInst is NULL, this parameter must be a valid bitmap handle. ". When I pass the toolbar resource I''ve created, it doesn''t work, when i pass it like MAKEINTRESOURCE(...) and cast it, still doesn''t work (buttons show, but no bitmaps, that''s the problem.). Any help apperciated. Thanks
