The ToolBar component realizes a standard toolbar containing buttons and drop-down lists.
To edit the controls located on the toolbar list the component context menu items are used. The controls properties settings is performed in the object inspector. All buttons are of the same size but for the drop-down lists the width can be changed in the Width property. It is possible to set up common properties for a group of buttons or drop-down lists. To do so hold the CTRL key, select the necessary buttons (drop-down menus) and change the necessary properties in the object inspector.
On work with the toolbar by the applied code a controls list can be created using the Controls property. This collection is formed from the ToolBarButton and ToolbarComboBox object class instances.
You can appoint one or several hotkey combinations for toolbar buttons. To assign hotkeys in the form designer mode, it is necessary to select an action, select the ShortCut property in object inspector and press the required combination. Additional hotkey combinations are set in the collection AdditionalShortCuts using Fore language when executing the form.
