- Classes: #wxToolBar
+Classes: wxToolBar
- The toolbar family of classes allows an application to use toolbars
- in a variety of configurations and styles.
+@li @ref overview_toolbar_intro
+@li @ref overview_toolbar_library
- The toolbar is a popular user interface component and contains a set of bitmap
- buttons or toggles. A toolbar gives faster access to an application's facilities than
- menus, which have to be popped up and selected rather laboriously.
- Instead of supplying one toolbar class with a number
- of different implementations depending on platform, wxWidgets separates
- out the classes. This is because there are a number of different toolbar
- styles that you may wish to use simultaneously, and also, future
- toolbar implementations will emerge which
- cannot all be shoe-horned into the one class.
+<hr>
- For each platform, the symbol @b wxToolBar is defined to be one of the
- specific toolbar classes.
- The following is a summary of the toolbar classes and their differences.
+@section overview_toolbar_intro Introduction
- - @b wxToolBarBase. This is a base class with pure virtual functions,
- and should not be used directly.
- - @b wxToolBarSimple. A simple toolbar class written entirely with generic wxWidgets
- functionality. A simple 3D effect for buttons is possible, but it is not consistent
- with the Windows look and feel. This toolbar can scroll, and you can have arbitrary
- numbers of rows and columns.
- - @b wxToolBarMSW. This class implements an old-style Windows toolbar, only on
- Windows. There are small, three-dimensional buttons, which do not (currently) reflect
- the current Windows colour settings: the buttons are grey. This is the default wxToolBar
- on 16-bit windows.
- - @b wxToolBar95. Uses the native Windows 95 toolbar class. It dynamically adjusts its
- background and button colours according to user colour settings.
- CreateTools must be called after the tools have been added.
- No absolute positioning is supported but you can specify the number
- of rows, and add tool separators with @b AddSeparator.
- Tooltips are supported. @b OnRightClick is not supported. This is the default wxToolBar
- on Windows 95, Windows NT 4 and above. With the style wxTB_FLAT, the flat toolbar
- look is used, with a border that is highlighted when the cursor moves over the buttons.
+The toolbar family of classes allows an application to use toolbars in a
+variety of configurations and styles.
- A toolbar might appear as a single row of images under
- the menubar, or it might be in a separate frame layout in several rows
- and columns. The class handles the layout of the images, unless explicit
- positioning is requested.
+The toolbar is a popular user interface component and contains a set of bitmap
+buttons or toggles. A toolbar gives faster access to an application's
+facilities than menus, which have to be popped up and selected rather
+laboriously.
- A tool is a bitmap which can either be a button (there is no 'state',
- it just generates an event when clicked) or it can be a toggle. If a
- toggle, a second bitmap can be provided to depict the 'on' state; if
- the second bitmap is omitted, either the inverse of the first bitmap
- will be used (for monochrome displays) or a thick border is drawn
- around the bitmap (for colour displays where inverting will not have
- the desired result).
+Instead of supplying one toolbar class with a number of different
+implementations depending on platform, wxWidgets separates out the classes.
+This is because there are a number of different toolbar styles that you may
+wish to use simultaneously, and also, future toolbar implementations will
+emerge which cannot all be shoe-horned into the one class.
- The Windows-specific toolbar classes expect 16-colour bitmaps that are 16 pixels wide and 15 pixels
- high. If you want to use a different size, call @b SetToolBitmapSize
- as the demo shows, before adding tools to the button bar. Don't supply more than
- one bitmap for each tool, because the toolbar generates all three images (normal,
- depressed and checked) from the single bitmap you give it.
+For each platform, the symbol wxToolBar is defined to be one of the specific
+toolbar classes.

- @section overview_usingtoolbarlibrary Using the toolbar library
+A toolbar might appear as a single row of images under the menubar, or it might
+be in a separate frame layout in several rows and columns. The class handles
+the layout of the images, unless explicit positioning is requested.
- Include @c "wx/toolbar.h", or if using a class directly, one of:
+A tool is a bitmap which can either be a button (there is no 'state', it just
+generates an event when clicked) or it can be a toggle. If a toggle, a second
+bitmap can be provided to depict the 'on' state; if the second bitmap is
+omitted, either the inverse of the first bitmap will be used (for monochrome
+displays) or a thick border is drawn around the bitmap (for colour displays
+where inverting will not have the desired result).
- - @c "wx/msw/tbarmsw.h for wxToolBarMSW
- - @c "wx/msw/tbar95.h for wxToolBar95
- - @c "wx/tbarsmpl.h for wxToolBarSimple
+The Windows-specific toolbar classes expect 16-colour bitmaps that are 16
+pixels wide and 15 pixels high. If you want to use a different size, call
+@c SetToolBitmapSize as the demo shows, before adding tools to the button bar.
+Don't supply more than one bitmap for each tool, because the toolbar generates
+all three images (normal, depressed, and checked) from the single bitmap you
+give it.
- Example of toolbar use are given in the sample program "toolbar''. The
- source is given below. In fact it is out of date because recommended
- practise is to use event handlers (using EVT_MENU or EVT_TOOL) instead of
- overriding OnLeftClick.
