Creates a custom toolbar.

Syntax

ToolBar

Remarks

Use the ToolBar object to create your own toolbars for your applications.

The following list describes the properties of a custom toolbar:

• Toolbars are always on top.
  
  
• Toolbars automatically dock when they are moved to the edge of the main Visual FoxPro window.
  
  
• When toolbars aren't docked, they have a half-height title bar.
  
  
• When the size of a toolbar is changed, the controls are arranged to fit.
  
  
• You can move a toolbar by clicking and dragging in any area of the toolbar that isn't a control.
  
  
• Many controls placed on the toolbar do not receive the focus when they're chosen.
  
  
• Access keys in controls placed in a toolbar are disabled.

Although any control can be placed on a toolbar, some controls, such as a list box, may be too large to fit properly in a docked toolbar. These controls can be programmatically removed from the toolbar when the toolbar is docked and replaced with a smaller version of the same control or a different control.

For additional information about creating toolbars, see Chapter 11, Designing Menus and Toolbars, in the Programmer's Guide.
