SYMPTOMS
========

Custom AppWizard projects based on MFC Standard steps do not have all of the
toolbar bitmaps copied to the Custom AppWizard's Template directory. Projects
created from your Custom AppWizard load the missing toolbar bitmaps because they
exist in the MFC extension DLL Mfcapwz.dll.

RESOLUTION
==========

No action is required unless you want to customize the missing toolbar bitmaps.
To customize the missing toolbar bitmaps, you must insert them into the Custom
AppWizard project.

Steps to Customize Missing Toolbar Bitmaps
------------------------------------------

1. Open the MFC AppWizard extension DLL by clicking Open on the File menu.
  Navigate to the ..\MSDev98\bin\ide directory. Click Mfcapwz.dll and select
  Resources in the OpenAs box. Click OK.

2. Expand the Template directory, right-click on the desired template and select
  Export. Save the selected file in your Custom AppWizard's Template directory.
  Close Mfcapwz.dll.

3. In FileView of your workspace window, right-click on the Template Files
  folder and select Add Files to Folder. Select the file you exported from
  Mfcapwz.dll and click OK.

4. In ResourceView of your workspace window, right-click on the Template folder
  and select Import. Select the file exported from Mfcapwz.dll, select Custom
  in the OpenAs box and click Import. Specify the Resource type as TEMPLATE in
  the dialog box and click OK.

5. The new template is called IDR_TEMPLATE1. Rename the template by
  right-clicking on the template and selecting Properties. Enter the name of
  the file in the ID box.

  NOTE: The name must be placed in quotes or you will receive an invalid
  character error.

  You may now customize the bitmap.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

directory:

  TBA__.BMP

  TBAH_.BMP
  TBAHI.BMP
  TBD__.BMP
  TBDH_.BMP
  TBR__.BMP
  TBR_I.BMP
  TBRH_.BMP
  TBRHI.BMP

  TBEAH.BMP
  TBED_.BMP
  TBEDH.BMP
  TBEND.BMP
  TBER_.BMP
  TBERH.BMP
  TBEX_.BMP

  step.

  Template directory.
