Getting and Setting Toolbar Characteristics

In addition to the toolbar information mentioned in Setting Toolbar Information, other toolbar characteristics can be modified. These include toolbar visibility, position and the number of rows present in the toolbar.

A toolbar can be made visible or hidden using LToolbar::SetVisible. To determine whether the toolbar is visible or hidden, call LToolbar::IsVisible.

The position of the toolbar can be changed using LToolbar::SetPosition. This function allows the user to specify a point and orient the toolbar around that point. To get the current position, call LToolbar::GetPosition.

The number of rows in the toolbar can also be set. This is done using the LToolbar::SetRows function. However, the number of rows cannot exceed the number of buttons in the toolbar. To determine the current number of rows in the toolbar, call LToolbar::GetRows.

A toolbar can also be changed by changing the buttons contained in the toolbar. For more information about functions that affect toolbar buttons, refer to Getting and Setting Toolbar Button Information.
