Re: CToolBarCtrl::GetButtonInfo Bug?

Doing a little more research, I've found the problem.
CToolBarCtrl::GetButtonInfo looks like this:
_AFXCMN_INLINE BOOL CToolBarCtrl::GetButtonInfo(int nID, TBBUTTONINFO*
ptbbi) const
{ ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); return (BOOL) ::SendMessage(m_hWnd,
TB_GETBUTTONINFO, nID, (LPARAM)ptbbi); }
The TB_GETBUTTONINFO msg returns a 0 based index. Whoever wrapped that
message for this class incorrectly decided to cast the result to a BOOL, so
that valid 0 index is returned as FALSE. So the only way to accurately
handle this is to not use the GetButtonInfo method, and just send the msg
yourself.
Torin,
Could you submit a bug report for your findings on the connect web
site. As you say, it clearly looks wrong. I can't see any evidence of
anyone else submitting a report on this, so MS are probably unaware of
it.
So as not to lose this, I've submitted a bug report:

Dave,
Thanks. I stil haven't yet figured out how to get "posting" permissions
for any of the connections on connect.microsoft.com. I have a valid account
but thats about all I have so far. :-)
