Note: The TCoolBar component requires version 4.70 or later of COMCTL32.DLL.
The cool bar component (
TCoolBar)—also called a
rebar—displays windowed controls on independently movable, resizable bands. The user can position the bands by dragging the resizing grips on the left side of each band.
To add a cool bar to a form in a VCL application:
- Add a cool bar component to the form (from the Win32 page of the Tool palette). The cool bar automatically aligns to the top of the form.
- Add windowed controls from the Tool palette to the bar.
Only VCL components that descend from
TWinControl are windowed controls. You can add graphic controls—such as labels or speed buttons—to a cool bar, but they will not appear on separate bands.
