I now have an unwanted, disabled button on my program's toolbar that has an image that appears to be a ghost (disabled copy) of the first button's icon. The toolbar behaves normally, otherwise. All my attempts to remove or account for the button have failed. The attached image shows the program behavior at the top, the toolbar editor in the middle and the properties for the "next" icon at the bottom.
The development environment is Visual C++ 2017 (15.9.21). The program was originally developed under VS 6.0 and spent many years in VS 2005. However, the problem does not relate to the VS 2017 upgrade. That was accomplished two years ago.
Note that I don't have much experience with direct editing in the *.rc file, but I'm willing to have a go at that with proper guidance.
