-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), included with:
   - *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you build the ENROLL tutorial, you will see that there is a "+" Toolbar
button that brings up the About dialog box instead of adding new records. The
additional buttons, "\", "-" and "?" are not present.

CAUSE
=====

The Enroll.rc file is missing for the Toolbar buttons even though the bitmap for
the Toolbar has images for all the buttons in it.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Toolbar section has the following IDs listed in Enroll.rc:

     // Toolbar
     // 

     IDR_MAINFRAME TOOLBAR DISCARDABLE  16, 15
     BEGIN
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_CUT
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_COPY
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_PASTE
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_FILE_PRINT
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_FIRST
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_PREV
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_NEXT
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_LAST
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_APP_ABOUT
     END

The IDs should be the following:

     // Toolbar
     // 

     IDR_MAINFRAME TOOLBAR DISCARDABLE  16, 15
     BEGIN
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_CUT
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_COPY
         BUTTON      ID_EDIT_PASTE
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_FILE_PRINT
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_FIRST
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_PREV
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_NEXT
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_LAST
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_ADD
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_REFRESH
         BUTTON      ID_RECORD_DELETE
         SEPARATOR
         BUTTON      ID_APP_ABOUT
     END

Open Enroll.rc as a text file in MSDEV. Go to the Toolbar section, and add the
following four lines after "BUTTON ID_RECORD_LAST":

     SEPARATOR
     BUTTON      ID_RECORD_ADD
     BUTTON      ID_RECORD_REFRESH
     BUTTON      ID_RECORD_DELETE

Rebuilding the application should fix the problem.
