Creating new toolbars
PowerBuilder has built-in toolbars. When you start PowerBuilder,
you see what is called the PowerBar. In each painter, you also see
one or more PainterBars. But PowerBar and PainterBar are actually
types of toolbars you can create to make it easier to work in PowerBuilder.
PowerBars and PainterBars
A PowerBar is a toolbar that always displays in PowerBuilder,
unless you hide it. A PainterBar is a toolbar that always displays
in the specific painter for which it was defined, unless you hide
it:

Where you create them
You can create a new PowerBar anywhere in PowerBuilder, but
to create a new PainterBar, you must be in the workspace of the
painter for which you want to define the PainterBar.
To create a new toolbar:
-
Position the pointer on any toolbar, display
the pop-up menu, and select New.The New Toolbar dialog box displays.
About the StyleBar
In painters that do not have a StyleBar, StyleBar is on the
list in the New Toolbar dialog box. You can define a toolbar with
the name StyleBar, but you can add only painter-specific buttons,
not style buttons, to it. -
Select a PowerBar name or a PainterBar name and
click OK.The Customize dialog box displays with the Current toolbar
box empty. -
One at a time, drag the toolbar buttons you want
from the Selected palette box to the Current toolbar box and then
click OK.
