BUG: Custom AppWizard Lacks Toolbar Templates for Standard Steps (194842)

SYMPTOMS

Custom AppWizard projects based on MFC Standard steps do not have all of the toolbar bitmaps copied to the Custom AppWizard's Template directory. Projects created from your Custom AppWizard load the missing toolbar bitmaps because they exist in the MFC extension DLL Mfcapwz.dll.

RESOLUTION

No action is required unless you want to customize the missing toolbar bitmaps. To customize the missing toolbar bitmaps, you must insert them into the Custom AppWizard project.

Steps to Customize Missing Toolbar Bitmaps

Open the MFC AppWizard extension DLL by clicking Open on the File menu. Navigate to the ..\MSDev98\bin\ide directory. Click Mfcapwz.dll and select Resources in the OpenAs box. Click OK.
Expand the Template directory, right-click on the desired template and select Export. Save the selected file in your Custom AppWizard's Template directory. Close Mfcapwz.dll.
In FileView of your workspace window, right-click on the Template Files folder and select Add Files to Folder. Select the file you exported from Mfcapwz.dll and click OK.
In ResourceView of your workspace window, right-click on the Template folder and select Import. Select the file exported from Mfcapwz.dll, select Custom in the OpenAs box and click Import. Specify the Resource type as TEMPLATE in the dialog box and click OK.
The new template is called IDR_TEMPLATE1. Rename the template by right-clicking on the template and selecting Properties. Enter the name of the file in the ID box.

NOTE: The name must be placed in quotes or you will receive an invalid character error.

You may now customize the bitmap.

MORE INFORMATION

The following files are correctly copied into your Custom AppWizard's Template directory:

   TBA__.BMP
   TBA_I.BMP
   TBAH_.BMP
   TBAHI.BMP
   TBD__.BMP
   TBDH_.BMP
   TBR__.BMP
   TBR_I.BMP
   TBRH_.BMP
   TBRHI.BMP

The Template directory should also contain the following files:

   TBEA_.BMP
   TBEAH.BMP
   TBED_.BMP
   TBEDH.BMP
   TBEND.BMP
   TBER_.BMP
   TBERH.BMP
   TBEX_.BMP
