hi, i created a MFC application and in the wizard i chase office ribbon style
i open the ribbon designer tool and add a button to the ribbon. i want to add an image to the button so in the properties dialog i click 'Image Index' and i get a popup "Image collection" with 8 or so built in images with stuff like scissors, etc.
i want to add my own images to that collection so i can make my buttons more interesting but i have no idea how. please help, how do i add an image to the image collection?
thanks
UPDATE
i found that the images for the ribbon buttons are saved in res/writesmall.bmp
i am able extent the bmp file (in photoshop) by say 16 pixels with a black background and edit an image in the new space, then save it. then i force a rebuild in vs2010 and open the ribbon designer and when i click on a button and choose image index i see there is a box for a new image, number 9, BUT the picture i drew on the image is missing, the image icon is blank.
so i select it anyhow and compile and run, and at run time its the same thing!
by the way, i am able to edit the first 8 images in photoshop and i can see the edits taking place, so for some reason, the ribbon system is ignoring the contents of the extra image but is recognizing the size of the image .bmp file
