Tool Bar Primitives

toolbar_create()

toolbar_destroy()

toolbar_add_separator()

toolbar_add_button(char *icon, char *help, char *cmd)

Several primitives let you manipulate the tool bar. They only operate in the Windows GUI version. The toolbar_create( ) primitive creates a new, empty tool bar. The toolbar_destroy( ) primitive hides the tool bar, deleting its contents. The toolbar_add_separator( ) primitive adds a blank space between buttons to the end of the tool bar.

The toolbar_add_button( ) primitive adds a new button to the end of the tool bar. The cmd parameter contains the name of an EEL function to run. The help parameter says what "tool tip" help text to display, if the user positions the mouse cursor over the button. The icon parameter specifies which icon to use. In this version, it must be one of these standard names:

STD_CUT   STD_PRINTPRE   VIEW_DETAILS

STD_COPY   STD_PROPERTIES   VIEW_SORTNAME

STD_PASTE   STD_HELP   VIEW_SORTSIZE

STD_UNDO   STD_FIND   VIEW_SORTDATE

STD_REDOW   STD_REPLACE   VIEW_SORTTYPE

STD_DELETE   STD_PRINT   VIEW_PARENTFOLDER

STD_FILENEW   VIEW_LARGEICONS   VIEW_NETCONNECT

STD_FILEOPEN   VIEW_SMALLICONS   VIEW_NETDISCONNECT

STD_FILESAVE   VIEW_LIST   VIEW_NEWFOLDER

HIST_BACK   HIST_FORWARD   HIST_FAVORITES

HIST_VIEWTREE   HIST_ADDTOFAVORITES

Run the commands show-standard-bitmaps or show-view-bitmaps to see what they look like. Run the command standard-toolbar to restore the original tool bar.

user char want_toolbar;
Epsilon uses the want_toolbar primitive variable to remember if the user wants a tool bar displayed, in versions of Epsilon which support this.
