You already posted this question at Error when I try to load toolbar[^], and I have explained what you need to do. Please do not repost the same question. If you do not understand how to create a Toolbar resource then study CToolBar Class | Microsoft Learn[^].

If I remember correctly toolbars are wanting 16-bit bitmaps. So you need to create them in this format.
Best way is to use some file tool and not doing the hard work via code.

Visual Studio contains an editor that creates toolbar bitmaps.
