A toolbar consists of a row of small, graphical buttons usually placed across the top of a window. It gives the user a fast and convenient alternative to using the window's menu to perform operations. The menu provides a more easily understood way to activate a function and includes a keyboard interface to the function. A toolbar, on the other hand, gives the experienced user a shortcut to operations, and thus improves the usability of an application.

TOOLBAR is a companion sample application for the "Creating a Toolbar" technical article on the Microsoft Developer Network CD.

TOOLBAR was built and tested under Microsoft Windows version 3.1. The sample also builds and runs under Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 and Visual C++ version 1.0.
