The Toolbar

The Toolbar appears beneath the menu bar (see Figure 1.1). It provides shortcut commands for setting the font and font size and for building and debugging a program.

You can hide or display the Toolbar with the Toolbar command on the View menu. When this command is checked, the Toolbar appears. When it is turned off (unchecked), the Toolbar is hidden. You turn the command on or off by selecting it.

To set font information for the current source file, use the Toolbar Fonts and Pts menus.

To issue build and debug commands, click one of the icons on the right of the Toolbar:

Icon Action

Compiles the active source file.
Builds the current project.
Sets a breakpoint at the insertion point.
Displays the Quickwatch debugging dialog box.
Steps into a function when it is called and steps through all of the instructions in the function.
Single-steps through instructions in the program. If this command is used when you reach a function call, the function is executed without stepping through the function instructions.

When a button cannot be used (for example, a trace command when you are not debugging), the button is dimmed.
