10 @class wxToolBar
11 @wxheader{toolbar.h}
12
13 The name wxToolBar is defined to be a synonym for one of the following classes:
14
15 @b wxToolBar95 The native Windows 95 toolbar. Used on Windows 95, NT 4 and
16 above.
17 @b wxToolBarMSW A Windows implementation. Used on 16-bit Windows.
18 @b wxToolBarGTK The GTK toolbar.
19
20
21 @beginStyleTable
22 @style{wxTB_FLAT}
23 Gives the toolbar a flat look (Windows and GTK only).
24 @style{wxTB_DOCKABLE}
25 Makes the toolbar floatable and dockable (GTK only).
26 @style{wxTB_HORIZONTAL}
27 Specifies horizontal layout (default).
28 @style{wxTB_VERTICAL}
29 Specifies vertical layout.
30 @style{wxTB_TEXT}
31 Shows the text in the toolbar buttons; by default only icons are
32 shown.
33 @style{wxTB_NOICONS}
34 Specifies no icons in the toolbar buttons; by default they are
35 shown.
36 @style{wxTB_NODIVIDER}
37 Specifies no divider (border) above the toolbar (Windows only).
38 @style{wxTB_NOALIGN}
39 Specifies no alignment with the parent window (Windows only, not
40 very useful).
41 @style{wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT}
42 Shows the text and the icons alongside, not vertically stacked
43 (Windows and GTK 2 only). This style must be used with wxTB_TEXT.
44 @style{wxTB_HORZ_TEXT}
45 Combination of wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT and wxTB_TEXT.
46 @style{wxTB_NO_TOOLTIPS}
47 Don't show the short help tooltips for the tools when the mouse
48 hovers over them.
49 @style{wxTB_BOTTOM}
50 Align the toolbar at the bottom of parent window.
51 @style{wxTB_RIGHT}
52 Align the toolbar at the right side of parent window.
