Our Instant VB C# to VB converter produces the following: (Note that
MessageBox.Show is still fine in VB)
Private Sub AddSubButton(ByVal cb As Office.CommandBarPopup, ByVal
buttonName As String)
Try
Dim missing As Object = Missing.Value
Dim customButton As Office.CommandBarButton
customButton =
CType(cb.Controls.Add(Office.MsoControlType.msoCon trolButton, missing,
missing, missing, missing), Office.CommandBarButton)
customButton.Style = Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption
Dim rm As ResourceManager = New
ResourceManager("CustomFaces.IconResource", Me.GetType().Assembly)
Dim res As System.Drawing.Icon
res = CType(rm.GetObject(buttonName), Icon)
Dim bmp As Bitmap
bmp=res.ToBitmap()
Clipboard.SetDataObject(bmp,True)
customButton.FaceId = 0
customButton.Caption=buttonName
customButton.PasteFace()
Catch exc As Exception
MessageBox.Show(exc.Message,"Adding Sub")
End Try
End Sub

Hi All, I found a useful bit of code on msdn in VC but need it in VB.
I've started the conversion but can't quite finish. The code puts a
custom Icon on a toolbar (In my case the Word Add-in "Standard" bar.
I don't know how to handle the "resource manager" line especially the
"this.GetType()". What the heck is "This?" (and don't start the "who's
on first routine please :-)
Also, what is the reference for clipboard objects?
Also, I'm applying the tool to a command bar button, not a menu pop-up
but I'm assuming the code is analogous and I only have to switch types.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
=========
The original code
=========
private void AddSubButton(Office.CommandBarPopup cb, string buttonName)
{
try
{
object missing = Missing.Value;
Office.CommandBarButton customButton;
customButton = (Office.CommandBarButton) cb.Controls.Add(
Office.MsoControlType.msoControlButton,
missing, missing, missing, missing);
customButton.Style =
Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption;
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(
"CustomFaces.IconResource", this.GetType().Assembly);
System.Drawing.Icon res;
res = (Icon) rm.GetObject(buttonName);
Bitmap bmp;
bmp=res.ToBitmap();
Clipboard.SetDataObject(bmp,true);
customButton.FaceId = 0;
customButton.Caption=buttonName;
customButton.PasteFace();
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
MessageBox.Show(exc.Message,"Adding Sub");
}
}

MY Interpretation in VB
========
Function AddSubButton(ByVal cb As CommandBarButton, ByVal buttonname As
String)
Dim missing As Object = missing.Value
Dim customButton As CommandBarButton
Dim bmp As Bitmap
Dim res As Icon
Dim rm As New ResourceManager("CustomFaces.IconResource",
rm.GetType().Assembly)
Try
customButton = cb.Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlButton, _
missing, missing, missing, missing)
customButton.Style = MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonIconAndCaption
res = rm.GetObject(buttonname)
bmp = res.ToBitmap()
Clipboard.SetDataObject(bmp, True)
customButton.FaceId = 0
customButton.Caption = buttonname
customButton.PasteFace()
Catch
msgbox("Adding Button",MsgBoxStyle.OKOnly)
End Try
End Function
