Description

This class is obsolete. Toolbars are now created using the cCJToolbar class.

As of revision 12.1, DataFlex includes full support for Codejock Software's COM Xtreme CommandBars package for creating menus, toolbars and statusbars. See Using Menus, Toolbars and Statusbars for more information.

The toolbar is a control, usually placed at the top of a window, that contains buttons which act as shortcuts to frequently used functionality.

To create the buttons, embed objects derived from cToolbarButton.

Usually, the toolbar is part of the MDI interface. In this mode, the toolbar will automatically size and align itself with the panel's client-area.

If you want to use a toolbar in a non-MDI container, set its pbInMdiPanel property to false, to prevent it from communicating with the MDI interface. To prevent the toolbar from aligning to the bottom of the parent window, change the peAlign property to alNone and size and locate the toolbar manually.
