Adds buttons to the toolbar. Note that BITMAP, COMMAND, STATE, STYLE and

AddString

AddString(STRING)

  TBSTATE_ELLIPSES

  TBSTATE_HIDDEN
      The button is not visible and cannot receive user input.
  TBSTATE_INDETERMINATE
      The button is grayed.
  TBSTATE_MARKED
      The button is marked. The interpretation of a marked item is dependent upon the application.

SetDisabledImageList

SetDisabledImageList(IMAGELIST)

Sets the image list for disabled button images. Returns a handle to the previous disabled imagelist associated with the toolbar.

SetDrawTextFlags

SetDrawTextFlags(MASK, FLAG)

Sets the text drawing flags for the toolbar.

SetExtendedStyle

SetExtendedStyle(STYLE)

Sets the extended style for the toolbar. STYLE should be one or more style flags bitwise-ORed together.

Extended style flag constants are as follows:

 TBSTYLE_EX_DRAWDDARROWS
   This style allows buttons to have a separate dropdown arrow. Buttons
   that have the BTNS_DROPDOWN style will be drawn with a drop-down
   arrow in a separate section, to the right of the button. If the
   arrow is clicked, only the arrow portion of the button will depress,
   and the toolbar control will send a TBN_DROPDOWN notification to
   prompt the application to display the dropdown menu. If the main
   part of the button is clicked, the toolbar control sends a
   WM_COMMAND message with the button's ID. The application normally
   responds by launching the first command on the menu.
   There are many situations where you may want to have only some of the
   dropdown buttons on a toolbar with separated arrows. To do so, set the
   TBSTYLE_EX_DRAWDDARROWS extended style. Give those buttons that will
   not have separated arrows the BTNS_WHOLEDROPDOWN style. Buttons with
   this style will have an arrow displayed next to the image. However, the
   arrow will not be separate and when any part of the button is clicked,
   the toolbar control will send a TBN_DROPDOWN notification. To prevent
   repainting problems, this style should be set before the toolbar control
   becomes visible.
 TBSTYLE_EX_HIDECLIPPEDBUTTONS
   This style hides partially clipped buttons. The most common use of this
   style is for toolbars that are part of a rebar control. If an adjacent
   band covers part of a button, the button will not be displayed. However,
   if the rebar band has the RBBS_USECHEVRON style, the button will be
   displayed on the chevron's dropdown menu.
 TBSTYLE_EX_MIXEDBUTTONS
   This style allows you to set text for all buttons, but only display it
   for those buttons with the BTNS_SHOWTEXT button style. The TBSTYLE_LIST
   style must also be set. Normally, when a button does not display text,
   your application must handle TBN_GETINFOTIP to display a ToolTip. With
   the TBSTYLE_EX_MIXEDBUTTONS extended style, text that is set but not
   displayed on a button will automatically be used as the button's ToolTip
   text. Your application only needs to handle TBN_GETINFOTIP if it needs
   more flexibility in specifying the ToolTip text.

SetHotImageList

SetHotImageList(IMAGELIST)

Sets the image list for "hot" (rollover) button images. Returns a handle to the previous hot image list associated with the toolbar.

Toolbars must have the TBSTYLE_FLAT or TBSTYLE_LIST style to have hot items.

see also Win32::GUI::Toolbar::SetStyle

SetHotItem

SetHotItem(BUTTON)

Sets the hot item in a toolbar. This message is ignored for toolbar controls that do not have the TBSTYLE_FLAT style.

SetImageList

SetImageList(IMAGELIST)

Sets the image list for regular button images. Returns a handle to the previous image list associated with the toolbar. Note that this will CROAK an error if you have previously called AddBitmap() on the toolbar - you cannot use SetImageList and AddBitmap on the same toolbar.

SetIndent

SetIndent(VALUE)

sets the indentation value for the toolbar

SetInsertMark

SetInsertMark(BUTTON,[FLAG=0])

Sets the current insertion mark for the toolbar.

SetInsertMarkColor

SetInsertMarkColor(COLOR)

sets the indentation value for the toolbar

SetMaxTextRows

SetMaxTextRows(VALUE)

Sets the maximum number of text rows displayed on a toolbar button.

SetPadding

SetPadding(CX,CY)

Sets the padding for a toolbar control.

SetParent

SetParent(PARENT)

Sets the window to which the toolbar control sends notification messages.

SetRows

SetRows(ROWS,[FLAG=TRUE])

Sets the number of rows of buttons in a toolbar. Flag that indicates whether to create more rows than requested when the system cannot create the number of rows specified. Return the bounding rectangle of the toolbar after the rows are set.

SetStyle

SetStyle(STYLE)

Sets the style for the toolbar. STYLE should be one or more style flags bitwise-ORed together.

Style flag constants are as follows:

  TBSTYLE_ALTDRAG
      Allows users to change a toolbar button's position by dragging it
      while holding down the ALT key. If this style is not specified, the
      user must hold down the SHIFT key while dragging a button. Note that
      the CCS_ADJUSTABLE style must be specified to enable toolbar buttons
      to be dragged.
  TBSTYLE_CUSTOMERASE
      Generates NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification messages when the toolbar
      processes WM_ERASEBKGND messages.
  TBSTYLE_FLAT
      Creates a flat toolbar. In a flat toolbar, both the toolbar and the
      buttons are transparent and hot-tracking is enabled. Button text
      appears under button bitmaps. To prevent repainting problems, this
      style should be set before the toolbar control becomes visible.
  TBSTYLE_LIST
      Creates a flat toolbar with button text to the right of the bitmap.
      Otherwise, this style is identical to TBSTYLE_FLAT. To prevent
      repainting problems, this style should be set before the toolbar
      control becomes visible.
  TBSTYLE_REGISTERDROP
      Generates TBN_GETOBJECT notification messages to request drop
      target objects when the cursor passes over toolbar buttons.
  TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS
      Creates a ToolTip control that an application can use to display
      descriptive text for the buttons in the toolbar.
  TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT
      Creates a transparent toolbar. In a transparent toolbar, the toolbar
      is transparent but the buttons are not. Button text appears under
      button bitmaps. To prevent repainting problems, this style should
      be set before the toolbar control becomes visible.
  TBSTYLE_WRAPABLE
      Creates a toolbar that can have multiple lines of buttons. Toolbar
      buttons can "wrap" to the next line when the toolbar becomes too
      narrow to include all buttons on the same line. When the toolbar is
      wrapped, the break will occur on either the rightmost separator or
      the rightmost button if there are no separators on the bar. This
      style must be set to display a vertical toolbar control when the
      toolbar is part of a vertical rebar control.

SetToolTips

SetToolTips(TOOLTIP)

Sets the tooltip object for the toolbar. TOOLTIP should be a Win32::GUI::Tooltip object. Note that this should be called before adding buttons, otherwise tooltips will not be registered. You can set a tooltips object for the toolbar on creation with the -tooltip option.

SetUnicodeFormat

SetUnicodeFormat(FLAG)

Sets the UNICODE character format flag for the control.

EVENTS

Common events apply to most windows and controls.

ButtonClick

ButtonClick(INDEX,[DROPDOWN = 1])

Sent when the user presses a button of the Toolbar the INDEX argument identifies the zero-based index of the pressed button. If the button clicked should expand a dropdown menu, then there is a second argument that is set to 1.
