Overview: Toolbar Editor
Home Page | How Do I ... Topics
The Toolbar editor enables you to create toolbar resources and convert bitmaps into toolbar resources. The Toolbar editor uses a graphic display to show a toolbar and buttons that closely resemble how they will look in a finished application. You can link toolbar buttons to code using ClassWizard.
With the Toolbar editor, you can:
Create new toolbars and buttons.
Convert bitmaps to toolbar resources.
Create, move, and edit toolbar buttons.
The Toolbar editor window shows two views of a button image, the same as the Graphics editor window. A split bar separates the two panes. You can drag the split bar from side to side to change the relative sizes of the panes. The active pane displays a selection border.
Above the two views of the image is the display of the subject toolbar, indicated by white space surrounding the subject toolbar. The selected button in this toolbar shows a fuzzy border.
The Toolbar editor is similar to the Graphics editor in functionality. The menu items, graphic tools, and bitmap grid are the same as those in the Graphic editor. For more information on using the Graphics toolbar, Colors palette, or Image menu, see Image Editor Window and Tools.
