CToolBar button with text.

[armistad]

In my CMainFrame::OnCreate(...), I have:

...
TBBUTTONINFO buttonInfo;

buttonInfo.cbSize = sizeof(TBBUTTONINFO);
buttonInfo.dwMask = TBIF_TEXT | TBIF_STYLE;
buttonInfo.fsStyle = TBSTYLE_AUTOSIZE;
buttonInfo.pszText =
m_csButtonText.GetBuffer(m_csButtonText.GetLength());

CToolBarCtrl& toolBarCtrl = m_wndToolBar.GetToolBarCtrl();
toolBarCtrl.SetButtonInfo(ID_BTN_CLOSE, &buttonInfo);

(after the m_wndToolBar member is created) which I was hoping would
set text on one of my buttons, but it doesn't appear to do anything. I
would appreciate if someone could point out what more I would need to
do so that I can get text to display on one of my buttons (I want the
other buttons to retain their image and size).

This article by Paul Dilascia shows how to do this:

http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0199/c/c0199.aspx

Here he replaces a menu by a toolbar by adding buttons with text. Here is
the code which does what you want:

for (UINT i=0; i < n; i++) {
TBBUTTON tbb;
tbb.idCommand = ::GetMenuItemID(hmenu,i);
tbb.iString = // item name, see below
tbb.fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
tbb.fsStyle = TBSTYLE_AUTOSIZE;
tbb.iBitmap = -1; // no icon
tbb.idCommand = i;
VERIFY(AddButtons(1, &tbb));
}

Hopefully it will be of some help.
