BUG: Custom AppWizard Generates Incorrect Toolbars and Bitmaps (190977)

RESOLUTION

To remedy the disassociation between toolbar buttons and images for SDI applications, remove the following compile-time directives in the Toolbar section of the template file, All.rc:

.
.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
// Toolbar
// 

IDR_MAINFRAME TOOLBAR DISCARDABLE  16, 15
BEGIN
$$IF(!DB_NO_FILE)
$$IF(!NODOCVIEW)

    BUTTON      ID_FILE_NEW
    BUTTON      ID_FILE_OPEN
    BUTTON      ID_FILE_SAVE
    SEPARATOR

$$ELSE
$$IF(!PROJTYPE_SDI)           <-Remove this directive

    BUTTON      ID_FILE_NEW
    SEPARATOR

$$ENDIF // !PROJTYPE_SDI      <-Remove this directive
$$ENDIF // NODOCVIEW
$$ENDIF //!DB_NO_FILE

    BUTTON      ID_EDIT_CUT
    BUTTON      ID_EDIT_COPY
    BUTTON      ID_EDIT_PASTE

.
.
				

At this point, both SDI and MDI applications behave the same way--each is missing an image on the Help button when Context-sensitive help is selected. To resolve this problem, you must create a new toolbar bitmap that contains all of the images in Tbnd_.bmp, but also includes a Help image. Follow these steps to create the new toolbar bitmap:

1. In FileView, expand the Template directory. Open the Tbah_.bmp toolbar bitmap in the resource editor by double-clicking it. This bitmap contains the required images along with the File Open and File Save images.
2. In the Graphics window, select the Rectangle Selection tool if it is not already selected. Using the mouse, select the File Open and File Save images by dragging the mouse over them. Press the DEL key.
   
   NOTE: Toolbar images are 16x15 pixels in size. The area you select should be 32x15 and can be verified in the status bar.
3. Using the mouse, select the remaining images to the left of the deleted area. These images include Edit Cut, Edit Copy, Edit Paste, Help About and Help. Once the images are selected, use the mouse and drag the images to the right so they are flush with the File New image. Resize the width of the bitmap to be flush with Help image. On the main menu bar, click File, and then click SaveAs. In this article, we will refer to it as Tbndh.bmp. Save the bitmap and close the resource editor.
4. On the Project menu, click Add To Project, and then click Files. Select the newly created bitmap from the Template directory and click OK.
5. On the Insert menu, click Resource. Click Toolbar and click Import. Select the new bitmap. To do this, go to the Open As list, select Custom, and click Import. Select "TEMPLATE" as the Resource type and click OK.
6. Right-click the resource in ResourceView and click Properties. In the ID drop-down box, type "TBNDH.BMP" (note that you must use the quotation marks) and click OK.
7. Add the following compile-time directive to the Resources section of the NewProj.inf template file:

   ///NewProj.inf
   .
   .
   $$// Resources
   
   /res
   $$IF(MULTIPLE_LANGS)
   $$BEGINLOOP(NUM_LANGS)
   .
   .
   $$ELSE  // NODOCVIEW
   $$IF(HELP) //Context-sensitive help  // <-Add this directive.
   =:tbndh.bmp   res\Toolbar.bmp        // <-Use the new toolbar.
   $$ELSE                               // <-Add this directive.
   =:tbnd_.bmp   res\Toolbar.bmp
   $$ENDIF  // HELP                     // <-Add this directive.
   $$ENDIF
   $$ENDIF //TOOLBAR
   $$ENDIF //!PROJTYPE_DLG
   .
   .
   						

8. Recompile your Custom AppWizard.
