Description

A Toolbar is a widget that serves as a container for a set of controls. These controls are typically in the form of Actions, but it is possible to create custom controls using Scripting¹⁾. Often times a set of controls is visually grouped by a separator.

Unless the interface is explicitly locked²⁾, toolbars are moveable. Click and drag a toolbar's Handle, or Grip, to move the toolbar around the screen. Toolbars can also be docked, or attached to the outer perimeters of the Activity Layouts; placed next to each other in the same column/row, depending on the orientation; or set in an additional column/row in the same area, depending on the orientation. Not all toolbars are dockable on all sides of the layout. When a toolbar is placed or sized in such a way that it is too small to show all of the controls it contains, an extension will appear as the last control in the toolbar. Click the extension to view a menu containing the un-displayed controls. Toolbars can also be un-docked and made to float alone in the interface. When a toolbar is un-docked, the controls within it are typically horizontally aligned.
