Setting an activeX DLL Add-In's Icon in the Add-in's ToolBar.(Without codes!)
VBcoders
and click on it.
2°) In the list of available Add-Ins search for "Visual Basic 6 Resource Editor"
and check "StartUp" and "Loaded" in the "Load behavior" and
click "OK".
3°) Now we can add a new Resource file to the project by clicking
on the "Project" menu and selecting the last one "Add New Resource File".
Give a name to the new file ("YourName.RES") and click "OK".
4°) In the project window, we open the "Related documents" and double
click on the file "YourName.RES" to open the "VB Resource Editor".
5°) In the Toolbar of the resource editor click on the "Add Icon" icon.
Search your icon and click OK.
6°) Now you see a folder "Icon" with your icon in it.
7°) Right click on this last one and choose "Propreties".
8°) Change the ID of the icon with "APPICON" and click OK and save
your RES file.
9°) Save your project.
10°)After you select File|Make DLL, the RES file is part of the
compiled DLL add-in. The VB Add-In Toolbar application is coded
to look for such an icon resource reference in a DLL add-in and,
if it finds it, to use it as the icon on its toolbar button.
Attention! I don't know if in a previous version of VB6 there was a
Resource Editor available. If not let me know I'll try to help you.
