@class wxToolBar
- The name wxToolBar is defined to be a synonym for one of the following
- classes:
+ A toolbar is a bar of buttons and/or other controls usually placed below
+ the menu bar in a wxFrame.
- - @b wxToolBar95 - The native Windows 95 toolbar. Used on Windows 95, NT 4
- and above.
- - @b wxToolBarMSW - A Windows implementation. Used on 16-bit Windows.
- - @b wxToolBarGTK - The GTK toolbar.
-
- You may also create a toolbar that is managed by the frame, by calling
+ You may create a toolbar that is managed by a frame calling
wxFrame::CreateToolBar(). Under Pocket PC, you should always use this
function for creating the toolbar to be managed by the frame, so that
wxWidgets can use a combined menubar and toolbar. Where you manage your
- own toolbars, create a wxToolBar as usual.
-
- The meaning of a "separator" is a vertical line under Windows and simple
- space under GTK+.
-
- @b wxToolBar95: Note that this toolbar paints tools to reflect
- system-wide colours. If you use more than 16 colours in your tool
- bitmaps, you may wish to suppress this behaviour, otherwise system
- colours in your bitmaps will inadvertently be mapped to system colours.
+ own toolbars, create wxToolBar as usual.
+
+ There are several different types of tools you can add to a toolbar.
+ These types are controlled by the ::wxItemKind enumeration.
+
+ Note that many methods in wxToolBar such as wxToolBar::AddTool return a
+ @c wxToolBarToolBase* object.
+ This should be regarded as an opaque handle representing the newly added
+ toolbar item, providing access to its id and position within the toolbar.
+ Changes to the item's state should be made through calls to wxToolBar methods,
+ for example wxToolBar::EnableTool.
+ Calls to @c wxToolBarToolBase methods (undocumented by purpose) will not change
+ the visible state of the item within the tool bar.
+
+ <b>wxMSW note</b>: Note that under wxMSW toolbar paints tools to reflect
+ system-wide colours. If you use more than 16 colours in your tool bitmaps,
+ you may wish to suppress this behaviour, otherwise system colours in your
+ bitmaps will inadvertently be mapped to system colours.
To do this, set the msw.remap system option before creating the toolbar:
-
@code
- wxSystemOptions::SetOption(wxT("msw.remap"), 0);
+ wxSystemOptions::SetOption("msw.remap", 0);
@endcode
-
If you wish to use 32-bit images (which include an alpha channel for
transparency) use:
-
@code
- wxSystemOptions::SetOption(wxT("msw.remap"), 2);
+ wxSystemOptions::SetOption("msw.remap", 2);
@endcode
-
Then colour remapping is switched off, and a transparent background
used. But only use this option under Windows XP with true colour:
-
@code
if (wxTheApp->GetComCtl32Version() >= 600 && ::wxDisplayDepth() >= 32)
@endcode
- There are several different types of tools you can add to a toolbar. These
- types are controlled by the ::wxItemKind enumeration.
-
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxTB_FLAT}
Gives the toolbar a flat look (Windows and GTK only).
Align the toolbar at the right side of parent window.
@endStyleTable

+ See also @ref overview_windowstyles. Note that the wxMSW native toolbar

if the style was initially on.
- @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
+ @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
@event{EVT_TOOL(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TOOL_CLICKED event (a synonym for @c
wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED). Pass the id of the tool.

+ the ids of the tools. (Not available on wxOSX.)
@event{EVT_TOOL_ENTER(id, func)}

itself. The value of wxCommandEvent::GetSelection() is the tool id, or
- -1 if the mouse cursor has moved off a tool.
+ -1 if the mouse cursor has moved off a tool. (Not available on wxOSX.)
@event{EVT_TOOL_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TOOL_DROPDOWN_CLICKED event. If unhandled,
displays the default dropdown menu set using
button. The event handler functions take a wxCommandEvent argument. For most
event macros, the identifier of the tool is passed, but for EVT_TOOL_ENTER()
the toolbar window identifier is passed and the tool identifier is retrieved
- from the wxCommandEvent. This is because the identifier may be -1 when the
- mouse moves off a tool, and -1 is not allowed as an identifier in the event
