Hi,
In the DLL you'll have to use the numbers. And remember that the odd numbers are the small icons and the big icons are the small icon + 1.
You can create a .def file to go with the dll. In this .def file you can create a set of defines that you can use to give the icon numbers a more readable name like this:
'***********************************************
' DBIcons.def
'***********************************************
Define FILE_DLL_DB_ACTIONS "DBIcons.dll"
Define ICON_NO_DB_DELETE 1
Define ICON_NO_DB_ADD 3
Define ICON_NO_DB_UPDATE 5
In this way it will be easy to read the syntax of the buttonpad.
Include "DBIcons.def"
Sub Main
Create ButtonPad "DBActions" As
PushButton
Icon ICON_NO_DB_DELETE File FILE_DLL_DB_ACTIONS
...
PushButton
Icon ICON_NO_DB_ADD File FILE_DLL_DB_ACTIONS
...
...
End Sub

Hello,
I am new to MapInfo MapBasic programming and am trying to create a toolbar DLL. Is it mandatory to give the icon ID's as numbers like 101, 102 etc as shown in the MapInfo knowledge-base sample or can we have meaningful names like "ADD" , "DELETE" etc.
If this is possible, how do we differentiate or tell MapInfo which is the small icon and which is the big icon for each button.
Any help is appreciated.
