How to change the toolbar button's Bitmap in win32?

I have created a toolbar with some controls on it using ReBar within a window. Can anyone please tell me,

  1. How to get the HWND of a buttons/combobox/etc (not normal buttons in a window) if I know (only) the Id of it ?
  2. How to obtain the HBITMAP if I know the id of the resource ?

  3. How to set the bitmap to the controller ?

    SendDlgItemMessageW(hWnd, nId, BM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)hBitmap);

This isn't working for toolbars, isn't it ? I couldn't find a way to do it, please help me. Thank you...

Regards

EDIT: Anyone please ? :(

EDIT: Ok. it seems everyone is busy these days. :( Btw, is it a wrong question ?

Solution

  • You could download ControlSpy and try it in there to get a feel for it.
    I checked the Rebar and saw that RB_SETBANDINFO (under Messages) could be what you are looking for.
