Icon for an Outlook addin

E

Eric Indiran

I'm writing an addin for Outlook in C++. I'd like to specify an icon to be
displayed on the toolbar button. How is this done?

Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarControl does not appear to have a property
to set the icon.

Thanks much,
-Eric

I was able to use the "PasteFace" method against a CommandBarButton to get
this to work.

Feels like a hack not to have a method that takes a HBITMAP directly and
instead rely on the system's clipboard to pass the image to a button...

In Outlook versions prior to 2002, copy the bitmap to the clipboard, then
call CommandBarButton.PasteFace.
In Outlook 2002 and up, use CommandBarButton.Picture and
CommandBarButton.Mask properties.
