"The bitmap's dimensions should be 13 pixels high by 16 pixels wide." How-to : see a previous post I did a couple of days ago. Basically, you want to have the bitmap loaded and available when the Command Bar is actually displayed (which is after you processed the notification, therefore after your code has been unloaded...). Someone suggested you open your resource database and let it open. However, I don't think it's clean, since : 1) you keep a database open, which is not a best practice in my opinion. 2) (more important) the resource IDs in your database can conflict with those of the current application. > 2) When the bitmap/icon is pressed, how do I do my action?

Can the whatGoesHere be a custom notification that > only I care about? Yes, whatGoesHere is your notification code. Typically, use your Creator ID or a Creator ID you register for that use. This way, no one else should receive the notification. BTW, I have an additional question to the topic. Is it possible to access the content (especially the active field) of the current form, when I get the sysNotifyMenuCmdBarOpenEvent ? I didn't manage to do so. What I tried : (we are processing sysNotifyMenuCmdBarOpenEvent) FormPtr frm = FrmGetActiveForm(); // this returns a non-null FormPtr FieldPtr fld = FrmGetActiveField(frm); // this fails...
