Do any of you guys and gals know if the default icon given to
custom buttons can be changed. I've noticed the [Windows] section
of the .HHP file contains the details of the button but I don't
know if a different icon can be specified. What I want to do is add
a company logo to appear on the toolbar above the Custom Button
text. Many thanks in advance for information or confirmation that
it can't be done.
Can the icon be changed? Certainly! But You didn't ask the
important question.
Can it be changed easily and by us mere help authors? No, not
easily at all. If you are a whiz bang programmer, I understand it
may be possible. But it is well beyond the reach of the average
help developer.
Hi Rick. I thought and feared as much
. As I haven't done any programming since my school
days and was never "wizz bang" even then I'll just have to accept
the boring old defaults. Ho hum! Thanks anyway.

HWServer.DLL
enables you to add custom toolbar buttons to a .chm file. But the
procedure for using it is a little tortuous, and you must install
the DLL on all your users' computers.
Thanks for the info Pete. I'll take a look although
installing the .DLL on the user's PC may be an issue. I'm a bit
perturbed that if you find it "torturous", I may end up in a
crumpled heep on the floor
