      int iButtonImage;

      // If the Toolbar is not based upon the default "AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR"
      // constant, then replace its use with the valid Toolbar constant.

      //"GetParentFrame()->":

      // If this code sample is called from an AppWizard generated,
      // Frame Window member function in Visual C++ 4.0, replace the above
      // statement with the following. Recall that the CMDIFrameWnd-derived
      // Frame Window generated by AppWizard has a CToolBar m_wndToolBar
      // member.
      CToolBar* pBar = &m_wndToolBar;

      if (pBar != NULL) {

           // Use the relevant Button ID for the following line:
           int iButtonIndex = pBar->CommandToIndex(ID_MY_BUTTON);

           pBar->GetButtonInfo(iButtonIndex, iButtonID, iButtonStyle,
      iButtonImage);

           // The following code checks for all possible states.
           // In practice, check only for those states that you need.
