Load image on tooBars toolbuttons.

Dear Friends
I am having trouble in placing images on the toolBar toolbuttons. The option is there to load a palette but there's no option for loading an image file onto the toolButtons. Please tell me if there's a ready made way to load an image icon on the toolbuttons. Thanks a lot in advance.

Your question is far away to be clear.
Are you using MFC, raw-WinAPI or something else?
Where/in which function did you find "an option to load a palette but no option for loading an image file"?
Please, clarify!

I am using MFC. VC++...........I am loading a toolBar like this

if (!m_wndToolBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}

m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1);
m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);

Then using rosource option I am able to create variouis toolbuttons on the toolbar applying event-handling. But how can I put different pictures/images on the toolbuttons. I dont find interesting to use palette. Can we use ready made image files. like png, jpeg etc. Thanks sujan

You could just open these image files in some editor and then copy/paste pictures to your toolbar button...

Its not possible just copy and paste. do u know MFC VC++ 2005.....This is not enabled.

Open your toolbar resource in the resource editor of Visual Studio.
Then you can edit each image for each button and then you can copy/paste images from other programs into a button.
Or you can use a toolbar image editor, for example I'm using Axialis IconWorkshop and it's very easy to use.
