Hi,

attached you find my testpackage for images as menu item in the main bar

Is this a bug or just not wanted?

When I put the images in a submenu it works ..
but only with a String in the item ...

I only want to show the image, because all other information is redundant.

sorry ...
" Also, items without Image are automatically added to menus only and vice versa, items without text are added to toolbars only."

just read the documentation ...

If you only want a button (no submenu) you can do it quite easily.

First, you need a custom ctrl to display the image and respond correctly to mouse events:

struct ImageBtn : public ImageCtrl
{
        ImageBtn() 						{ IgnoreMouse(false); }
	virtual void LeftDown(Point p, dword keyflags) 		{ Action(); }
	virtual void MouseEnter(Point p, dword keyflags) 	{ Refresh(); }
	virtual void MouseLeave() 				{ Refresh(); }
	virtual void Paint(Draw& draw) { 
		if (HasMouse()) 
			draw.DrawRect(GetSize(), SColorHighlight());
		ImageCtrl::Paint(draw);
	}		
};

And then add instances of this to your MenuBar:

void basicWindow::MenuMain(Bar &bar){
	bar.Add("Menu", Image::Arrow(), THISBACK(SubMenu));
	
	imagebtn1.SetImage(MyImages::layout1());
	imagebtn1 <<= THISBACK(setLayout1);
	bar.Add(imagebtn1.Tip("Layout 1"), MyImages::layout1().GetSize());
	
	bar.Gap(4);

	imagebtn2.SetImage(MyImages::layout2());
	imagebtn2 <<= THISBACK(setLayout2);
	bar.Add(imagebtn2.Tip("Layout 2"), MyImages::layout2().GetSize());	
}

void basicWindow::SubMenu(Bar &bar)
{
	bar.Add("Item1", Callback());	
	bar.Add("Item2", Callback());
	bar.Add("Item3", Callback());
}

(I've also added a sub-menu to make the example clearer)

Hope that helps,
James
