In a doc/view project using VS2008, a MFCMenuBar seems to load the correct MENU resource (IDR_MAINFRAME) from the project, since adding and removing menu items is reflected in the menu's UI. It even appends the accelerators to the default menu items (e.g. Ctrl+O to the Open... item). However, the accelerator table (IDR_MAINFRAME) doesn't seem to be connected to the menu.

I would like to knwo if it is possible to create a CImageList with alpha blending transparency. Sample code that creates a CImageList with ugly transparency (no alpha blending) CGdiPlusBitmapResource m_pBitmap; m_pBitmap.Load(IDB_RIBBON_FILESMALL,_T("PNG"),AfxGetResourceHandle()); HBITMAP hBitmap; m_pBitmap.m_pBitmap->GetHBITMAP(RGB(0,0,0),&hBitmap ); CImageList *pList=new CImageList; CBitmap bm; bm.Attach(hBitmap); pList->Create(16, 16, ILC_COLOR32 | ILC_MASK, 0, 4); pList->Add(&bm, RGB(255,0,255)); MSN Don't use the ILC_MASK flag (from MSDN ): Using 32 Bit Anti-Aliased Icons Windows XP
