ITEM '&Exit' ACTION Win_1.Release
END POPUP
END MENU

Hi Franco,
I checked and it looks like toolbar do not support multi line.
Though you can have multi line buttons on the window area but not on the toolbar.
May be other members can give some workaround here.

Anand

Include your bmp files into resources. They will be linked into exe file

Hi Franco,
Yes, as Mol said, you only need to add your images in the resource file and the exe will contain it.
I have made the required resouce file with some images of your tool bar code. Run the exe and see it will show the images. You do not need to distribute the images to the client.

WOW, This is what I enjoy about HMG. There is always a solution for most problems by knowledgeable members.
I will Make my bmp`s. Is there any colored function key bmp`s already made that you know of. I wanted a (red) or colored box with (F1) and so on on them.
Thank you both for your help.

Thanks Anand, I still can not get it to work for me.
I built my own f.bmp`s and put them in the hmg 3.2 resources folder. Then entered there names as you suggested in my resource area of my program.
I have the bmps in my program folder, so they work when I compile. When I copy the exe to a different folder without the bmps they do not show up.
I even tried the edit_new.bmp but again it will not show up, and it is in the 3.2 resources folder.
I am using 8.1 and hmg 3.2 and my program starts with #include <hmg.ch> ... not minigui.
Any thoughts ..... Franco
