I added some new toolbar buttons and menu items in my Resource Editor, but I don't see them when I'm running the application. What's going wrong?

BCGControlBar library loads toolbar and menu items directly from the resources when you are running the program for the first time. Next time, library will retrieve the data from the registry, where all customization results were saved. To see your changes, just open customization dialog, switch to the "Toolbars" page and click "Reset All" button. Customization manager will reset all toolbars and menu states.

In addition, BCGControlBar Library automatically updates toolbar and menu resources. To enable this feature, you need either derive your application class from CBCGPWinApp or pass TRUE to CBCGPWorkspace constructor:

CMyApp::CMyApp() :
CBCGPWorkspace (TRUE /* bResourceSmartUpdate */)
{
}

If you're using CBCGPWinApp as parent of your application class, the "Resource Smart Update" is added automatically.
