Creating a Toolbar

After initializing the toolbar handle, the toolbar must be created using the L_TBCreate function. The toolbar is created in a regular child window. The user has the option of creating a toolbar "from scratch" and entering the desired buttons, or the user may create a Vector or Paint toolbar, complete with a predefined set of buttons. The following example shows how to create a toolbar:

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

/* Global LEAD toolbar handle */
pTOOLBARHANDLE g_pLeadToolbar ; 

L_INT ToolbarTest ( HWND hWnd )
{
    /* Initiate the toolbar handle */
   L_TBInit ( &g_pLeadToolbar ) ; 

    /* Check the validity of the handle */
    if (SUCCESS == L_TBIsValid ( g_pLeadToolbar ) )
    {
       POINT pt = { 0, 0 } ;

      /* Create the toolbar  */
      L_TBCreate ( g_pLeadToolbar, hWnd, TEXT("Tools Window"), TOOLBAR_PAINT ) ;

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

      /* Set the toolbar position */
      L_TBSetPosition ( g_pLeadToolbar, &pt, TOOLBAR_POSITION_TOP | TOOLBAR_POSITION_LEFT ) ;

      /* Show the toolbar */
      L_TBSetVisible ( g_pLeadToolbar, TRUE ) ; 
  }

   return SUCCESS ;
}
