Handling a toolbar by programming

Overview

The variable of Toolbar control corresponds to the toolbar name. This variable has no value.

Handling the controls in a Toolbar control

The controls found in the toolbar can be accessed:

like any other control, by using their name directly.
by specifying the name of the Toolbar control, then the name of the control. For example:

Toolbar1.Button1

Remark: the properties affecting the size and position of controls found in the toolbar can be accessed in read-only.

How to close the floating Toolbar control?

To close a floating Toolbar control using the X, you must write the following line of code in the "Closing" event of the Toolbar control:
