Comments

L_TBInit must be called before calling this function.

The toolbar is created as a child window to the window specified in hwndParent.

Note:

Vector and Paint toolbars are Automation toolbars. When using the Automation C DLL in addition to the Toolbar C DLL, these toolbars automatically handle the buttons and the necessary function calls. If automation is not used, then it is the user's responsibility to create buttons, assign ID numbers, process the events and handle all necessary function calls.

The paint toolbar contains the following buttons:

Example

This example will initiate, create a toolbar, set its position and make it visible

L_INT TBCreateExample( HWND hWnd, pTOOLBARHANDLE* ppLeadToolbar)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   /* Initiate the toolbar handle */
    nRet = L_TBInit ( ppLeadToolbar ); 
    if(nRet != SUCCESS)
       return nRet;
    nRet = L_TBIsValid( *ppLeadToolbar );
    /* Check the validity of the handle */
    if (SUCCESS == nRet )
    {
       POINT pt = { 0, 0 };

      /* Initiate the point will be used to align the toolbar at the top-left of its owner client area */
      ClientToScreen ( hWnd, &pt );

      /* Create the toolbar  */
      nRet = L_TBCreate ( *ppLeadToolbar, hWnd, TEXT("Tools Window"), TOOLBAR_PAINT );
      if(nRet != SUCCESS)
         return nRet;

      /* Set the toolbar position */
      nRet = L_TBSetPosition ( *ppLeadToolbar, &pt, TOOLBAR_POSITION_TOP | TOOLBAR_POSITION_LEFT );
      if(nRet != SUCCESS)
         return nRet;

      /* Show the toolbar */
      nRet = L_TBSetVisible ( *ppLeadToolbar, TRUE );
      if(nRet != SUCCESS)
         return nRet;
   }
    else
       return nRet;

   return SUCCESS;
