Set your button up in the menubar. Then somewhere in your code you''ve got to call: m_BitmapV.LoadBitmap(IDB_VIDEOSETTINGS); m_VideoBtn.SendMessage(BM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP, (LPARAM)(HBITMAP)m_BitmapV); where m_BitmapV is a CBitmap object and m_VideoBtn is your CButton object. Basically, your sending the button a message telling it to load a bitmap I did this in a dialog, you''ll need to finagle it around a little for menu bars. John G.
