Functions for wxToolBar class
A toolbar is a bar of buttons and/or other controls usually placed below the
menu bar in a wxFrame
.
You may create a toolbar that is managed by a frame calling
wxFrame:createToolBar/2
. Under Pocket PC, you should always use this function
for creating the toolbar to be managed by the frame, so that wxWidgets can use a
combined menubar and toolbar. Where you manage your own toolbars, create
wxToolBar
as usual.
There are several different types of tools you can add to a toolbar. These types are controlled by the ?wxItemKind enumeration.
Note that many methods in wxToolBar
such as addTool/6
return a
wxToolBarToolBase*
object. This should be regarded as an opaque handle
representing the newly added toolbar item, providing access to its id and
position within the toolbar. Changes to the item's state should be made through
calls to wxToolBar
methods, for example enableTool/3
. Calls to
wxToolBarToolBase
(not implemented in wx) methods (undocumented by purpose)
will not change the visible state of the item within the tool bar.
After you have added all the tools you need, you must call realize/1
to
effectively construct and display the toolbar.
wxMSW note
: Note that under wxMSW toolbar paints tools to reflect system-wide
colours. If you use more than 16 colours in your tool bitmaps, you may wish to
suppress this behaviour, otherwise system colours in your bitmaps will
inadvertently be mapped to system colours. To do this, set the msw.remap system
option before creating the toolbar: If you wish to use 32-bit images (which
include an alpha channel for transparency) use: Then colour remapping is
switched off, and a transparent background used. But only use this option under
Windows XP with true colour:

Functions
-spec addCheckTool(This, ToolId, Label, Bitmap1) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Label :: unicode:chardata(), Bitmap1 :: wxBitmap:wxBitmap().
-spec addCheckTool(This, ToolId, Label, Bitmap1, [Option]) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Label :: unicode:chardata(), Bitmap1 :: wxBitmap:wxBitmap(), Option :: {bmpDisabled, wxBitmap:wxBitmap()} | {shortHelp, unicode:chardata()} | {longHelp, unicode:chardata()} | {data, wx:wx_object()}.
Adds a new check (or toggle) tool to the toolbar.
The parameters are the same as in addTool/6
.
See: addTool/6
-spec addControl(This, Control) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Control :: wxControl:wxControl().
-spec addControl(This, Control, [Option]) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Control :: wxControl:wxControl(), Option :: {label, unicode:chardata()}.
Adds any control to the toolbar, typically e.g. a wxComboBox
.
Remark: wxMac: labels are only displayed if wxWidgets is built with
wxMAC_USE_NATIVE_TOOLBAR
set to 1
-spec addRadioTool(This, ToolId, Label, Bitmap1) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Label :: unicode:chardata(), Bitmap1 :: wxBitmap:wxBitmap().
-spec addRadioTool(This, ToolId, Label, Bitmap1, [Option]) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Label :: unicode:chardata(), Bitmap1 :: wxBitmap:wxBitmap(), Option :: {bmpDisabled, wxBitmap:wxBitmap()} | {shortHelp, unicode:chardata()} | {longHelp, unicode:chardata()} | {data, wx:wx_object()}.
Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.
Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released. You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.
By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.
See: addTool/6
-spec addSeparator(This) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar().
Adds a separator for spacing groups of tools.
Notice that the separator uses the look appropriate for the current platform so it can be a vertical line (MSW, some versions of GTK) or just an empty space or something else.
-spec addStretchableSpace(This) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar().
Adds a stretchable space to the toolbar.
Any space not taken up by the fixed items (all items except for stretchable spaces) is distributed in equal measure between the stretchable spaces in the toolbar. The most common use for this method is to add a single stretchable space before the items which should be right-aligned in the toolbar, but more exotic possibilities are possible, e.g. a stretchable space may be added in the beginning and the end of the toolbar to centre all toolbar items.

(not implemented in wx)
Removes the specified tool from the toolbar and deletes it.
If you don't want to delete the tool, but just to remove it from the toolbar (to
possibly add it back later), you may use removeTool/2
instead.
Note: It is unnecessary to call realize/1
for the change to take place, it
will happen immediately.
Return: true if the tool was deleted, false otherwise.
See: deleteToolByPos/2
This function behaves like deleteTool/2
but it deletes the tool at the
specified position and not the one with the given id.
-spec enableTool(This, ToolId, Enable) -> ok when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Enable :: boolean().
Enables or disables the tool.
Remark: Some implementations will change the visible state of the tool to indicate that it is disabled.
See: getToolEnabled/2
, toggleTool/3
-spec findById(This, Id) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Id :: integer().
Returns a pointer to the tool identified by id
or NULL if no corresponding
tool is found.
-spec findControl(This, Id) -> wxControl:wxControl() when This :: wxToolBar(), Id :: integer().
Returns a pointer to the control identified by id
or NULL if no corresponding
control is found.
-spec findToolForPosition(This, X, Y) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), X :: integer(), Y :: integer().
Finds a tool for the given mouse position.
Return: A pointer to a tool if a tool is found, or NULL otherwise.
Remark: Currently not implemented in wxGTK (always returns NULL there).
Returns the left/right and top/bottom margins, which are also used for inter-toolspacing.
See: setMargins/3
Returns the size of bitmap that the toolbar expects to have.
The default bitmap size is platform-dependent: for example, it is 1615 for MSW
and 2424 for GTK. This size does not
necessarily indicate the best size to
use for the toolbars on the given platform, for this you should use
wxArtProvider::GetNativeSizeHint(wxART_TOOLBAR)
but in any case, as the bitmap
size is deduced automatically from the size of the bitmaps associated with the
tools added to the toolbar, it is usually unnecessary to call
setToolBitmapSize/2
explicitly.
Remark: Note that this is the size of the bitmap you pass to addTool/6
, and
not the eventual size of the tool button.
Called to determine whether a tool is enabled (responds to user input).
Return: true if the tool is enabled, false otherwise.
See: enableTool/3
-spec getToolLongHelp(This, ToolId) -> unicode:charlist() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer().
Returns the long help for the given tool.
Returns the value used for packing tools.
See: setToolPacking/2
Returns the tool position in the toolbar, or wxNOT_FOUND
if the tool is not
found.
Returns the default separator size.
See: setToolSeparation/2
-spec getToolShortHelp(This, ToolId) -> unicode:charlist() when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer().
Returns the short help for the given tool.
Returns the size of a whole button, which is usually larger than a tool bitmap because of added 3D effects.
Gets the on/off state of a toggle tool.
Return: true if the tool is toggled on, false otherwise.
See: toggleTool/3
-spec insertControl(This, Pos, Control) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Pos :: integer(), Control :: wxControl:wxControl().
-spec insertControl(This, Pos, Control, [Option]) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Pos :: integer(), Control :: wxControl:wxControl(), Option :: {label, unicode:chardata()}.
Inserts the control into the toolbar at the given position.
You must call realize/1
for the change to take place.
See: addControl/3
, insertTool/6
-spec insertSeparator(This, Pos) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Pos :: integer().
Inserts the separator into the toolbar at the given position.
You must call realize/1
for the change to take place.

Inserts the tool with the specified attributes into the toolbar at the given position.
You must call realize/1
for the change to take place.
See: addTool/6
, insertControl/4
, insertSeparator/2
Return: The newly inserted tool or NULL on failure. Notice that with the
overload taking tool
parameter the caller is responsible for deleting the tool
in the latter case.
This function should be called after you have added tools.
-spec removeTool(This, Id) -> wx:wx_object() when This :: wxToolBar(), Id :: integer().
Removes the given tool from the toolbar but doesn't delete it.
This allows inserting/adding this tool back to this (or another) toolbar later.
Note: It is unnecessary to call realize/1
for the change to take place, it
will happen immediately.
See: deleteTool/2
Set the values to be used as margins for the toolbar.
Remark: This must be called before the tools are added if absolute positioning is to be used, and the default (zero-size) margins are to be overridden.
See: getMargins/1
-spec setToolBitmapSize(This, Size) -> ok when This :: wxToolBar(), Size :: {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}.
Sets the default size of each tool bitmap.
The default bitmap size is 16 by 15 pixels.

-spec setToolLongHelp(This, ToolId, HelpString) -> ok when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), HelpString :: unicode:chardata().
Sets the long help for the given tool.
Remark: You might use the long help for displaying the tool purpose on the status line.

The default value is 1.
Remark: The packing is used for spacing in the vertical direction if the toolbar is horizontal, and for spacing in the horizontal direction if the toolbar is vertical.
See: getToolPacking/1
Sets the default separator size.
The default value is 5.
See: addSeparator/1
-spec setToolShortHelp(This, ToolId, HelpString) -> ok when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), HelpString :: unicode:chardata().
Sets the short help for the given tool.
Remark: An application might use short help for identifying the tool purpose in a tooltip.
-spec toggleTool(This, ToolId, Toggle) -> ok when This :: wxToolBar(), ToolId :: integer(), Toggle :: boolean().
Toggles a tool on or off.
This does not cause any event to get emitted.
Remark: Only applies to a tool that has been specified as a toggle tool.
