Maybe this was answered already, but this is the way I do it:
Create a toolbar as you like it and save as a class, ie mytoolbar, in a
class library (vcx)
Don't forget to set the showwindow property = 1 (in top level form)
** form init event
** this is how you instantiate the toolbar
** the call to pemstatus is so you don't get an error in case that, somehow,
the toolbar is already instantiated
if not pemstatus(thisform,'oToolBar',5)
thisform.oToolBar = createobject("myToolBar")
thisform.oToolBar.show()
endif
** form destroy event
** this is how you kill it
if pemstatus(thisform,'oToolBar',5)
thisform.oToolBar = .NULL.
endif
You can use the show and hide methods of the toolbar as you wish. In my
case, the toolbar has lots of buttons, such as vcr buttons, print,
browse,add,cancel,delete,etc,etc.
I show it whenever I need it or hide it on demand as well.
BTW, you coordinate the toolbar's behaviour with the form thus:
** toolbar add button click event (used to add a record to a table)
_screen.activeform.add() && you call the add method on the form
** toolbar next record navigation button
_screen.activeform.nextrec()
and so on
