Transparent images in toolbar button/menu ?
Thanks a lot, It seems to be the way to go, however I have one problem.
I have added a resource file to my com add-in, and when I call
CreateMappedBitmap passing app.hinstance, it tries to load the bitmap from
word's resource files, and not my add-in !
Any idea how can I get it to load the bitmap from the add-in's resources
instead ?
