Toolbars

Scroll Prev Top Next More

While in the R:BASE Editor, you can position toolbars on any edge of the client window and in any order. Detaching a dockable toolbar from the frame window is called floating the toolbar. Attaching a floating toolbar to the frame window is called docking the toolbar. A toolbar can be docked to any side of its parent window, or can be floated in its own mini-frame window. Whether the toolbars are docked or floating, you will see the hint for any toolbar button when the cursor is hovered over the button. The R:BASE Editor will remember the last docked/floating setting when closing the designer.

 

When a toolbar is docked, it will look like this:

 

RBE_FileToolbar2

 

On the left side a series of characters are displayed to drag the toolbar into a floating position. The "character" can be one or more dots or pipe symbols "||" based on your operating system and current theme. The dots/pipes are used to drag the toolbar into a floating position.  

 

When floating, the toolbar can be moved by clicking and dragging the caption area and can be resized by clicking and dragging the edge. When a toolbar is floating, it will look like this, where a border is wrapped around the toolbar and the name and a close button (x) is displayed in the caption:

 

RBE_FileToolbar

 

 

Tips:

 

Double click on the caption area of a floating toolbar to dock it to the last location it was docked

Whether a toolbar is floating or docked, the "x" is used to hide a toolbar

From the menu bar, select the "View" > "Toolbars" option to hide or show any toolbar

The toolbars can be docked on the sides of the screen to provide a greater work space
