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.

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.
