Placing a SmartToolbar
AppBuilder supplies a single version of the SmartToolbar. If you do not need to add additional functions, using it in your application is very straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Click on the SmartToolbar tool icon in the Object Palette:
![]()
- Move the mouse cursor over a bare spot in your workspace and click to place the object. A menu bar and its corresponding toolbar have a well-defined position in a window, so you need not be careful where you place it—it establishes itself in the right place automatically, in some cases even moving other objects out of the way.
- Configure it, and adjust its size appropriately.
Figure 7–1, Figure 7–2, and Figure 7–3 show the SmartToolbar in different states with both components and all supplied functions enabled. The Filter button appears insensitive because there was nothing connected to it at the time these images were taken.
