Derek,
Thanks for the help. I had forgotten just how easy some solutions can
be.

2. RE: Change icon on toolbar button?
Mike,
Win32lib has three image lists already created for the Flattoolbar, so
to make your change you'll have to get Dirty. As i don't think a Normal
Toolbar in win32lib has a pre - made Image List.
A FlatToolbar is just a normal toolbar with TBS_FLAT so it shouldn't
matter. Also you have an option of using an Image List or not cause
toolbars have their internal way of storing images. Image Lists just add
more flexibility to the way u use images.
I'm going home to create an example of changing bitmaps or images on
toolbars. I'll email it to you incase your question hasn't been answered
