The toolbar component (TToolBar) offers button management and display features that panel components do not.

1. Add a toolbar component to the form (from the Win32/Common Controls category of the Tool palette). The toolbar automatically aligns to the top of the form.
2. Add tool buttons or other controls to the bar.

Tool buttons are designed to work on toolbar components. Like speed buttons, tool buttons can:

• Act like regular pushbuttons.
• Toggle on and off when clicked.
• Act like a set of radio buttons.

To implement tool buttons on a toolbar, do the following:

• Adding a tool button
• Assigning images to tool buttons
• Setting tool button appearance and initial conditions
• Creating groups of tool buttons
• Allowing toggled tool buttons
