Toolbar2000

Getting Started

Now that you have installed Toolbar2000, how do you go about creating dockable toolbars and menu bars? Here is a brief introduction.

  1. The first step is to create one or more TTBDock components. Docks will contain the toolbar(s) you create. To move a dock to a different side of the form, change its Position property.



  2. Next, select a TTBDock component you have created (by clicking on it), then drop a TTBToolbar component onto the dock (by double-clicking TTBToolbar on the component palette). If the toolbar you created is to be used as a menu bar, set the MenuBar property to True. If you have an image list you want to use with the toolbar, assign it to the Images property.



  3. You will probably want to add some items to the toolbar you just created. To do this, invoke the Toolbar Editor by either double-clicking the toolbar or by clicking the "..." button next to the Items property in the Object Inspector.



  4. Once inside the Toolbar Editor, use the "New" buttons on the Toolbar Editor's toolbar to create new items. Then modify them to your liking using Object Inspector.



For a ready-to-run example, open the Demo project in the DemoProj subdirectory. If you're using C++Builder, open the DemoBCB project instead, or DemoBCB6 if you're using C++Builder 6.
