I'm trying to create a toolbar with index bitmaps (created using the
resource editor). The buttons respond to being pressed correctly but the
images do not show up on them. I thank anyone that can help in advance.
Also, is there an advantage to using CreateToolbarEx over CreateWindowEx?

[START OF CODE]

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg)
    {
    case WM_CREATE:
        {
        HWND hTool;
        TBBUTTON tbb[3];
        TBADDBITMAP tbab;
        // Create Toolbar
        hTool =
CreateWindowEx(0,TOOLBARCLASSNAME,NULL,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,0,0,0,0,hwnd,(HME
NU)IDR_TOOLBAR,GetModuleHandle(NULL),NULL);
        if(hTool == NULL) MessageBox(hwnd,"Could not create tool
bar.","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);

        SendMessage(hTool,TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE,(WPARAM)sizeof(TBBUTTON),0);
        tbab.hInst = NULL;
        tbab.nID = IDR_TOOLBAR;

        SendMessage(hTool,TB_ADDBITMAP,0,(LPARAM)&tbab);
        ZeroMemory(tbb,sizeof(tbb));
        tbb[0].iBitmap = IDR_TOOLBAR;
        tbb[0].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
        tbb[0].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
        tbb[0].idCommand = ID_BUTTON_00;
        tbb[1].iBitmap = IDR_TOOLBAR;
        tbb[1].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
        tbb[1].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
        tbb[1].idCommand = ID_BUTTON_01;
        tbb[2].iBitmap = IDR_TOOLBAR;
        tbb[2].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
        tbb[2].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
        tbb[2].idCommand = ID_BUTTON_02;

SendMessage(hTool,TB_ADDBUTTONS,sizeof(tbb)/sizeof(TBBUTTON),(LPARAM)&tbb);
        } break;

    case WM_COMMAND:
        switch(LOWORD(wParam))
            {
            case ID_BUTTON_00:
                MessageBox(hwnd,"Button 00 Was
pressed.","Notice",MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
                break;
            case ID_BUTTON_01:
                MessageBox(hwnd,"Button 01 Was
pressed.","Notice",MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
                break;
            case ID_BUTTON_02:
                MessageBox(hwnd,"Button 02 Was
pressed.","Notice",MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
                break;
            }
        }break;
    case WM_CLOSE: DestroyWindow(hwnd); break;
    case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); break;
    default: return DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam);
    }
return 0;
}
